This release comes with a glossy and reflective slip cover and inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD copy.Īudio Commentary – English Language Scriptwriter Mary Claypool, Animation Producer/Writer Eric Calderon, Voice Actor Richard Epcar and Animation Historian/Critic Charles Solomon. It also is the gold standard of anime with its deep-thinking themes and incredible animation, which probably led to the amazing Cowboy Bebop a few years later. Still, there’s no denying the importance Ghost in the Shell has had not just for when it was released (and its immense popularity upon release on VHS), but how it has endured in the decades since.

The film is only 83-minutes long (with credits) and probably could’ve used an additional 15-minutes to flesh out the supporting characters and their respective relationships with one another, probably another reason I love the TV series as the format has the ability to give more character development. Quick Hit Review: Ghost in the Shell, as has been mentioned over the years, was the influence behind the Wachowski’s Matrix movies, and seeing this anime featured film from 1995 for probably the third or fourth time, still is so damn good, while I still prefer the series for both the style and voice acting, this film has a complex plot set against some absolutely beautiful animation and a city design reminiscent of Blade Runner. With her partner (AKIO OTSUKA/RICHARD GEORGE), she corners the hacker, but her curiosity about her identity sends the case in an unforeseen direction. Her pursuit of a man who can modify the identity of strangers leaves Motoko pondering her own makeup and what life might be like if she had more human traits. Motoko Kusanagi (ATSUKO TANAKA/MIMI WOODS) trails “The Puppet Master” (IEMASA KAYUMI/ABE LASSER), who illegally hacks into the computerized minds of cyborg-human hybrids. Lionsgate provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.

Ghost in the Shell still has its influence all these years later and is telling that studios continue to re-release the movie and although I sometimes criticize double or triple dips, at least here in North America, this could be the definitive release.
