Synopsis:

Set within the world of Ghost in the Shell, *Uchikomatic Days* offers a glimpse into the often-overlooked origins of the Uchikomas. This short explores the creation and initial aspirations of these second-generation AI units, designed as functional but less refined counterparts to the more celebrated Tachikomas. The narrative centers on a musical performance by the Tough Guy Uchikomas, a group striving for recognition at a New Year's Eve event in Harima City.

The atmosphere is one of quiet observation, highlighting the contrast between the high expectations placed upon the Tachikomas and the pragmatic reality of their Uchikoma counterparts. The short subtly examines themes of purpose, identity, and the value of individual contribution within a larger system. Presented as a bonus feature on the *Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society* DVD, it provides a deeper understanding of the world's technological landscape and the diverse roles AI can fulfill.

    Spoilers of the GITS series! (And I have not seen the solid state society) I do not really now how to feel about this and really interpret this :3 I have always really highly loved the small sidestories of Tachikomatic Days.... but my heart broke when the Tachikomas did their heroic suicide in the second season of ghost in the shell and therefore replaced with the Uchikomas featered in this little sidestory. It angered me! nothing can replace the Tachikomas! But then I saw this one, it somewhat gave me a hope, maybe the uchikomas could gain individuality? Maybe they aren´t just dumb robots? just maybe... who knows?
