GiTS is noted for it's CGI and its philosophical questions, rather than its entertainment value. Doesn't really do justice to the manga either (that has a whole section on the components to build an artifical consciousness)... a lot of cybernetics and sci-fi blue-skying that really doesn't translate well into video. Mostly ideas about our concept of humanity, what forms this thing we call "identity" and what will happen when medical technology gets to the point that most of our bodies can be replaced (already have artifical hearts) and we become cyborgs, and if cybernetics gets to the point where machines can become self-aware, what would distinguish us from them, etc.
