The Cowboy Bebop dubs are terrible! Even before I had any interest in learning Japanese, I watched the subtitled version. The English voices don't do the characters justice at all, so I think you'll enjoy it a lot more in Japanese.
There was Ghost in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (first TV series), Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig (second TV series), and finally Stand Alone Complex: Solid-State Society (feature-length).
There is a main story in each of the series, but a lot of the episodes are individual and focus on a particular character so you get to know them more than you did in the first two films. The first season is a little slow in places, but it builds up to some really dramatic moments!
Stand Alone Complex is probably my favourite now, I have both box-sets on DVD. They are under £30 each on play.com if you live in the UK, and include 26 episodes plus extras in each one.

Don't say that to Cowboy Bebop! You don't know nothing about anime if you offend this magnificent Master Piece!![]()
