I woke up, started watching it, and 13 hours later I finish. I thought it was pretty good, though the plot was sometimes hard to pick up on the insanely fast subtitles.

I liked the animation, and the "Laughing Man" conspiracy was kind of interesting before it was revealed.

*spoiler*

There is one thing I hated, though - it was the "Ghost" concept that the (totally awesome) Spider-robots had gotten by the end, because it contradicted my personal beliefs.

Oh, and the opening theme song is awesome. I like how it changed very subtly sometimes.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Shutup Jackal.

Obbi, I loved Ghost in a Shell. Where can I get this? I fear I might have to start looking online cause I can't find it in any of the usual places I go for good Anime. Also... did you know that later this year I think, Ghost in a Shell 2: Innocence is coming out? Looks good.

They're releasing english-translated DVDs. I think they already released the first two. As far as where I got them, I can't say.

A second one would be neat. I seriously want to get the english translated DVDs, mainly because reading subtittles the entire way through Trigun, then 94 episodes of Naruto, then Ghost in the Shell has made me weary of it.

Obbi, why can't you say where you got it from?

And I hear you on the subtitles stuff. That's why I payed more for the translated version of Jin-Roh.

The first volume is one out on DVD right now. The English dub is okay; better than reading subs for sure.

i can't stand dubbed anime. hell, i can't stand dubbed anything, but especially anime. i guess it's just that the voice overs are often terrible (imo). not only that, but there's almost always something lost in the translation. people feel that they have to maintain lip-synch, and in order to accomodate this, they start cutting dialog.
