This article needs a better representative image. They're talking about Ghost in the Shell 2, not Ghost in the Shell 2.0.

[there's a difference]

Good. I am a huge fan of the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie, but I have never watched Innocence.

Well, damn--mere months after I'd caved and bought the sub-only South Korean release.

Great news, though I have to admit I bought a copy a few years ago that cost me at least $120 because it was out-of-print.

This is quite the surprise but it's good, now comes the big questions.

-Do they have both Manga UK & Bandai dubs?

-Are they able to fix the Manga UK dub? IIRC, there was a problem with that one on Bandai's release I believe because they used a PAL source.

I wonder whether or not Funimation will redub Innocence with the English cast that they used in Ghost in The Shell the new movie. Confused

If it has lossless audio, I'll be double-dipping.

I see no reason why they would. It has two dubs already.

Like the dub or not, they had the perfect excuse for Arise, since the Japanese version also recast everybody.

Oh nice. I liked this movie quite a bit so it's good to see it rescued. The Bandai dub is also fantastic, Richard Epcar steals the show as Batou.

IIRC Manga just used PAL sped up, high pitched M&E track and mixed them with a dub recorded at that speed, so "fixing" it would require either slowing down in a way that keeps music high-pitched (keeping the music pitch makes voices sound distorted), re-mix it (assuming they kept unmixed version, which normally doesn't happen) or record a new dub. The fact that the second dub exists seem to confirm the second option couldn't be used.

The Manga UK version was directed by Richard Epcar, it applied a bit more humor to the dialogue without taking away the point of what's being discussed, the robots spoke English instead of their own garbled language, and because UK blu-rays don't subtitle Japanese text when watching in English the characters read the text aloud off-screen. The Bandai version I believe was directed by the same ADR director of the first movie, and it stayed more truer and a more a literal reflection of the Japanese version. Both versions are good on their own, so it comes down to a matter of preference.

The UK blu-ray is what I've got, but I might well get Funimation's release to both support it and so I don't have to punch a code on my region-free player every time I want to watch it.
