Obviously the series hasn't finished but I thought I would comment on it since I don't see much talk.

As of the most recent chapter (13), Human Algorithm is the best piece of Ghost in the Shell media to come out in recent years. The plot so far is a breath of fresh air while also feeling completely fitting for the franchise.

Character-wise, all the returning cast feel true to themselves and they all have new looks which I feel fit their characters pretty well. The new main character added, Tsunagi, is by far the best addition to section nine ever. She is fun and cracks jokes with the team while also being able to take situations seriously. I feel like this is the type of character they were TRYING to make with Purin in 2045 and failing miserably at. Her psychic abilities are a new idea for the franchise and push the realism factor a bit but it's not too distracting.

The art work is beautiful and I really like it but it did take a little getting used to and I don't think every character translated well. Motoko for example looks REALLY weird and I honestly don't like seeing her drawn like that. All the mains look really good though, just a few side characters look strange (Mari and Shinra for example look really strange to me).

Overall I'm really looking forward to reading the next chapter when it is released in a few days,
