If you haven't already, buy this DVD. It's awesome, everything I expected and then some. I highly recomend it. Cool

There isn't much I can say better than the review...

Writing about Ghost in the Shell is like dancing about architecture: a second-hand form of expression that could never convey the genuine experience.

But the question is - if you already have the orginal GitS DVD is it worth buying another copy of it?

The most hyped and overrated anime of all time.
Innocence blew the original away.

Does this thing have the Brian Eno and/or original closing song? Brian Eno is great, but the original had a delightful stupidity that served as a perfect after-dinner mint to the film.

Gotta love when people just drop a statement like this in the middle of a thread without arguing a single reason for it.

Aww C'mon Nagi, it's like when I used to ask my parents why they thought anime was bad. I would get the inevitable, "because I said so" response. Laughing

It is kinda interesting to see that they put a trailer for the Ghost in the Shell: Innocence in this release.

Watching the original trailer, they give project 2501 a femal voice in the dub. Why not just keep it a male voice like the Japanese tracks has.

Well, I'm not exactly sure. I don't own a copy of the original myself. So, I can't really help you there, but I can tell you it has more special features (hence, the second disc).

Oh, maybe someone who owns both could put in their 2 cents Wink.

Ehh... I'm not quite sure what you are speaking of. The dub of Puppetmaster IS a male voice. Up until the point that it... spoiler[merges with the Major]

No, this is earlier, when they are in that building and he is on that table.

Well, I can't break out my good 'ole VHS of GitS cause my VCR bit the bullet a few months ago (which is why I will be getting the DVD) but I'm quite certain PM had a male voice until the end.

In the ENGLISH dub, PM had a female voice the entire time.
In the JAPANESE track, PM had a male voice up until he took over Kusanagi's (The Major's) voice.

Umm... no... PM had a male voice until the merge in the English dub. And to prove my point.. how many women do you know with the name Abe Lasser?

Then why did the trailer give PM a female voice in the scene right after spoiler[the cyborg body was hit by a truck?]
