Ghost in the Shell 2.0

wow looks good - superb animation as usual ^^

As much as I love Oshii's version, I prefer the SAC series personally.
Anyways, this looks great !!

NIce! I must watch this!!! XD

Too bad that movie version of Motoko isn't as cute as manga version by Masamune Shirow.

Great news!! Although I like the SAC series more, the DVD release of this movie will be on my must buy list:)

Noooooooooooooooo!!!
Is nothing sacred?
One of the finest anime ever, as long as they don't mess with anything else and it's just a CG upgrade that's not too bad, but really, they should have left it alone!

OMFG WANT! There is absolutely no anime better than the GITS series for me, I cannot wait to see this, I'd love if it came out in cinemas here!

WooT!!!.. first an Evangelion remake, and now a GITS remake...

looks really good, but why do they always have to remake films?

another remake huh... i think it's too soon though

ahhh its getting the evangelion-esque resurrection :) I love GITS so I really hope this will wow me after so many years since i first picked up this title :D Motoko Kusanagi rocks :D

Hm, I thought, the GitS movie was awesome but my opinion changed after I saw Stand Alone Complex. The TV series have some interesting feeling which the movie doesn't it's just dark cyberpunk. All the characters are zombies in it, they don't show much emotion and all.
And the TV has Tachikomas. <3
But I'll watch the 2.0 for the effects.

Here's something I don't get... They revise classic movies all the time, right? I'd imagine if they took the audio tracks from classic movies and just animated over them, it would be a pretty bad ass way to make them relevant to future generations. I opt for classic scifi with bad special effects first personally. :P Sometimes the story was great, but the rubber suit just had to make you laugh... Does anyone else imagine an anime version of Blade Runner looking exactly like Ghost in the Shell?

Nicuu, but the original was already way up there imo. Actually, it was what solidified my love for anime in the first place ^^

Masamune is a big pervert, and I'm actually kind of glad of that. Even though Japanese studios really turned his characters into ultra serious movies and shows for the educated, you still have to love the fact that almost all of his female character designs are 1/2 nude. Masamune FTW!

Meh, I never liked the Ghost in the Shell movie. It had terrible pacing, and really ended on a whimper. The SAC series was a million times better.

Awesome stuff, I dont mind them doing a general clean up, I just hope they dont change change anything else, like voice acting or scene placement.

I wish they would just leave well enough alone. Part of what makes GitS so amazing is what was done with animation technology at the time. to "update" with advanced CG (and to recreate scenes with said CG) just doesn't feel right.

At least the Eva movies are reimaginings of the series.

Awesome, this is definitely going to end up in blueray! I have seen an "HD" version of this before and of course saw the original 2.0 version in the theater. Any one know when we can purchase this on plastic?

im gonna have to buy this!!! I dont know what im going to do with my old GITS DVD. Any body want it??

I think they were going to make a lice action in 2009 but forgot where I got that from.

Oh, if it's a CG upgrade without recutting the original movie then I'm really looking forward to it!
Personally to me the first "Ghost In The Shell" movie is a truly epic film, even if the movie is not as true to Shirow's original manage as the "Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex" series is.

I still remembered that when I first watched that moive 10 years ago, I was so shocked by all those CG, and thougth that it couldn't be anymore better. But 10 years later, they make a "Upgraded" version, well, you never know. XD

I just hope that this movie will be in theaters here in Bulgaria, I really want to watch it on the big screen :D

production I.G. are pulling a George Lucas? i'd like to be a bit more sarcastic but I'm hopeful this will blow every GiTS fan's brain away.

lol in honkong again haha xD look more reality

Holy crap I must watch this.

No thanks-I wish they had Shirow Masamune do some of the animation. Kusanagi was cuter in the manga series. There needs to be a live action GITS. Let's hope Hollywood won't f@ck it up.

I am guardedly excited for this to hit the states... It sounds good (Lucasfilm did the CG updates under direct supervision.) and if it keeps the original movie feel, then it will be good.
And I am more a fan of the SAC than the original movie. But I still like the original movie.

A remake? oh my... When I saw 2.0 I thought it's a totally new movie... a bit disappointed... but will see what are the new stuffs in this edition.
I love GITS!

is this the one where steven spilberg involved?
i thought steve ver will come out in 2009...

Wow. Love GITS..

weres the girl?

I call bull on this.

If not, then 3D nipples!

Instead, they really should redo select episodes of SAC in 3D, in the style of season 1's OP.
Random Rant: season 1 ED >>>>>>>>> season 2 ED. Cos the S2 ED song is gay.

"they really should redo select episodes of SAC in 3D"
hmmm i don't know if they should you know i kind of like it the way it is
the whle intro i like but thats about it really its a kind of ime like the
way it is and sometimes it can go off a bit..

if ime right and please correct me if i am wrong but wasent the ending cred:music was
called "Living Inside The Shell" which i dont mind

but id defently like to see this

i'm gonna watch this for sure.

Personally, I like the second GITS movie better than the first one.
