so America is somehow the bad guy in this fictional world? I haven't read the original. Or is that just Kamiyama's doing?

Images of fingers tapping away,

characters diving headlong,

the steep banking of a VTOL type aircraft flying into the fray...

as the cast of Ghost in the Shell gets a shorter title to work under

...and a facelift to boot.

Aramaki discovers a hairbrush.

Batou gets to do some blinking.

and the Major covers her cheeks this time around.

Can anyone say highly derivative? or is it more a case of "tweaked and fine tuned" all the way to the bank in this instance?

Lol. I am so buying this as soon as I can. That trailer screams action bigger than a freakin' two legged scooby snack being scarfed by a Titan.

At least now I know why Jet and Joe were fighting. First UK, now Australia, when is the U.S. going to get this movie? Crying or Very sad
There's an interesting 4 part interview with Kamiyama on the film

That's... one of the better trailers I've seen for an anime feature in a LONG time!

(Okay, now the word of caution about how often the "real" film is nowhere near as slick as it's presented in the preview trailers... How many times we get burned by false advertising and pimping of movies!)

But seriously, the first time I heard about this film it interested me.

I DID watch a few episodes of the English dub of this show when it aired on Cartoon Network around 10 years ago!

It's still somewhat inexplicable to me WHY it failed but the premise stayed with me.

(On second thought, it's not THAT hard to figure out why many series don't do well in the US... people generally like BRAIN-DEAD entertainment and things things they've seen a million times since childhood like BATMAN; non-domestic TV series and movies almost always have a harder time being excepted in other nations unless they're localized or very basic [don't challenge people's intelligence, their thinking, or ideas of the world around them] to begin with. Humanity is a very vacuous, shallow species... and that's a general worldwide trait.)

If they don't license this for Blu ray in the US, this might be a film I'd import... IF the word of mouth is good.

It's too expensive to take chances on shit...


P.S. -- Standards for entertainment are generally the same worldwide, folks. I'm not saying that no cultural differences exist BUT the basics are generally equivalent. There's a reason American entertainment is the way it is and why some shows like DBZ are successful worldwide and it's not because they're particularly ground-breaking, "insightful," or "meaningful" as their fans insist... or even particularly good.

We are all allowed to have differences of opinion but sometimes the consensus standard is so low as to be mind-boggling/baffling and it's just better to look away from poorly scripted, trainwrecks of entertainment (ex: the most recent Star Trek movies) that at least 90% of entertainment media is today... That, unfortunately, DOES include most anime.

Too me, the animation looks subpar. It looks like something you'd find in a PSP or PS Vista video game verse in major anime movie. Its flashy, but its animation looks plain.

The last animated TV series had pretty snazzy animation. I've seen CGIed animation films look better than this. Hopefully the story will save it.

I'm looking forward to seeing this film, though I doubt I'll ever get a chance to see it as originally intended in 3D. Hopefully it will make it to one of the local festival circuits. If NYAV Post is working on an English dub, the chance that it will be getting a North American release is that much higher. I wasn't much of a fan of the recent series, mostly because the character designs were, to me, not all that appealing. With the staff behind this film, though, I was hooked as soon as the first promotional images were released.
