人类文明已经变得荒废，巨大的都市废墟中残存的人们依附于垄断了高科技的贵族生活着。在已经麻木的人中间，传说中已经绝迹的狼迷惑了人们的眼睛，以人类的形象出现。它们在寻找着失落的“乐园”，那是一个完全由狼所统治的世界，传说中满月之夜，“月之花”的少女会打开通往“乐园”的大门。
一天，一个装束奇异的少女捷莎出现在奇巴、兹迈等四匹狼面前，凭着狼族天生的直觉，他们明白眼前的就是他们寻找的“月之花”的少女。而同时各种贵族势力也派出军队来争夺捷莎。躲避着贵族的追击，穿过堕落的人和狼们居住的都市，穿过没有人烟的雪地、丛林和荒野，年轻的狼群毫不犹豫的跟随着捷莎踏上了寻找“乐园”的道路！
富士电视台于2003年1月6日开播。由COWBOY BEBOP的幕后班底制作，曾担任《新世纪福音战士》设计和大友克洋的《MEMORIES》中《最臭兵器》导演的冈村天斋执导。画面制作非常精良，菅野洋子做的音乐也很棒，个人认为应该算2003年最好的动画之一。

《攻壳机动队SAC 2nd GIG》是根据士郎正宗漫画原作改编的第二季日本动画影集。
2004年1月1日于日本SKY电视播映。每集制作费高达3000万日元。
共26话。
故事内容延续第一部TV版攻壳机动队STAND ALONE COMPLEX的剧情继续发展。但TV版的2部作品与剧场版无甚联系，可以看做是两个平行世界里发生的事情。
这次TV版第2季的制作班底与第一部相同，同时剧情表达上和第一季一样，每话由不同故事构成，各自独立成章，却贯穿着同一条主线。在剧情上同时电影版导演押井守也参与了协力，不过电影版中凄凉的气氛没有在TV版第二季中体现。

The story takes place in the year 2034, two years after the events in Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG. Female cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi has left Public Security Section 9, an elite counter-terrorist and anti-crime unit specializing in cyber-warfare, which has expanded to a team of 20 field operatives with Togusa acting as the field lead.

In 2030 AD, even if the intention to run around as light and electrons is concentrated in one direction as the computerization becomes generalized and the information network becomes more sophisticated, by the time the "lonely person" becomes an "individual" as a complex. Is an era when it is not computerized. It depicts the activities of the "Public Security Section 9" (commonly known as "Ghost in the Shell"), which was established as an independent counterintelligence unit under the direct control of the Ministry of Home Affairs to counter complicated crimes. There are a wide variety of top-secret missions such as cybercrime investigation, terrorism deterrence / arrest, VIP protection, and corruption detection, but one incident emerges as it is carried out.
