Ghost In The Shell : Innocence. R1 USA DVD. Dec 28th 2004.
It's only just made it out on an unsubtitles Japanese DVD. It's only just made it to the Cinemas in America.
That's why i am excited to be able to sat that the sequel to Ghost In The Shell has been announced for a USA release date, so at least i am not upset that i am here in the UK and unable to see it right now.
The reviews may have been mixed but i want to see it for myself.
The disc is $30 rrp : is in 1.85:1 aspect ratio and ofcourse has English Subtitles. More details when i find them.

Saw it again for the second time this past weekend, and enjoyed it quite a bit more. I still think it gets bogged down by some needless philosophizing, but still... if you can see it in the theatre, it's definitely worth seeing on the big screen.

i think alot of the criticisms are essentially criticising whats typical about oshiis movies : they are slow, ponderous and potentially pretentious. still : nice animation! seriously, i think i will enjoy it on more than one level...

I've got a subtitled version, and normally I prefer that. But Innocence has got so much philosopical dialogue, that I'm actually looking forward to seeing it dubbed.
The visuals are great! Sometimes the contrast between the almost photo real backgrounds and the manga style is a little too much. I would've simplified the 3D a bit.

Have you seen the DVD cover art over at Digital Bits? It's just awful.

I was perhaps a bit hard on the movie when I saw it as the opening night film to the Midnight Madness program at this years TIFF. I look forward to watching it again to re-evaluated. For what it's worth, my commments are here...

i hate the cover : also note - no DTS! odd? and apparently its been plumped into release alongside the original (new edition was planned for october, delayed til december then new year by my knowledge)... and the video game, and the SAC tv series dvds, and the reissue of the manga (which is now uncensored).
thing is : i think its too late to campaign for changes to the innocence cover and contents - a little more notice and i would start a petition!!!

Ugh... you're right, that cover art is horrible. Makes it look like any regular ol' anime release, which it most certainly isn't. I really wish they would've gone with something more like this.

A petition may be too late, but we can all not buy it, and wait for the Hong Kong or Korean DVD with English sub and DTS track. It shouldn't a long wait, and they will probably have better cover art too.

i dont think the korean with have subs : the short dvd of music videos (same as the one for the film in japan) is out in korea and doesnt have subs.

None of the foreign releases will be subtitled. It's part of Dreamworks deal with Production IG.
» Posted by Todd at October 20, 2004 06:58 AM
bingo. as i suspected : there this licensing thing which will creap up on us eventually and virtually no foreign discs will have subs, well potentially.

In regards to an earlier comment... the domestic DVD release of Innocence - the one with the crappy cover art that we all seem to hate - will not have an English dub.
» Posted by opus at October 20, 2004 04:02 PM
I hate to say this, but if there are no English subtitled discs available in other countries, and my only choice is that Dreamworks release with the horrible cover art, then I am going to eBay.
