The most groundbreaking anime EVER (suck it Akira!) gets the royal treatment. What makes this great is that this edition includes the original on blu-ray (though I already had the DVD Special Edition) AND the remastered edition! If you watch sci-fi anime and have NOT seen this you are missing out on something great.
Don’t mistake this with Stand Alone Complex. The SAC series is not related to the movies despite being based on them. The events in the two movies never happened in the SAC series or Solid State Society. So you can watch either the movie or SAC first without spoiling anything.
Even if you are like me and have the DVD Anniversary SPecial Edition you should still grab this one on blu-ray while it is still available.

That inspired two brothers to add a little more kung-Fu & bullet frenzy into their sci-fi movie back in ’99.

I will start by saying the original Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite films of all time. I am a computer scientist researching AI, and it ranks right up there with 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner (Also The Matrix which was influenced heavily by GitS) for movies that have “shaped” my view of reality and what is possible.
Now you should know that the “original” version of the film is indeed on this blu-ray, Thank you very much! The original, however, does not look cleaned up like the “2.0″ version is (maybe because “original” means untouched!). I, like many other people commenting, much prefer the original masterpiece to this new “2.0″ incarnation. The original is still worth the purchase of this blu-ray. Really one of the greatest films ever produced.

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (blu ray) won’t play on my Panasonic DMP-BD35 blu ray player (profile 2.0). It freezes at 00:04 into the movie, and then the player has to be power-reset. It also freezes if I go through scene selection and choose to start on a later scene. There is no problem with any of the special features, and the player has no problems with any of my other ~20 blu ray discs.
I exchanged one copy of this disc, thinking it was defective. Amazon sent me a replacement, and it’s defective in exactly the same way.

If you don’t already own a copy of GITS and have a Blu ray player this is the copy you want to buy. looks amazing in hd and is an anime classic. It also has the original version of the movie under the extras menu for those hard core fans who like the original movie’s look better. This is a must own for any anime fan.
