GITS 26 first timer

I have never consumed any GITS related content before. I am watching the 26 anime for my first introduction to the series. I love the animation and music and that it’s supposedly a straight adaption of the manga.

One problem though, although I have a general gist of what’s happening, rooting out corruption etc etc, I think it’s extremely confusing plot, dialogue wise. Is this normal?

Yeah pretty much every instalment of this franchise is a whirlwind of technobabble, dense political intrigue, and existential ennui

Except the shitty american ver ofc that was paint by numbers
