5.0 out of 5 stars It's a keeper for Anime fans, October 18, 2004

This review is from: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Volume 02 (Episodes 5-8) (DVD)

As a fan of the orignal GitS, and of Stand Alone Complex Vol. 1, I really looked forward to Vol. 2 and I was not disappointed. The story continued where it left off in Vol. 1, but this time we learn even more about the Major, her skills and maybe a small scene to some, but to me when she blocked a blow and it...well, don't want to spoil it, but it shows how powerfully build she is. While the Laughing Man from the first vol. took up lots of the time, the other episodes showed more of her personality. Including a huge surprise about her love life that was cut-out of the US verison of GitS comic.

The art, action are crisp and clean, the US voice acting is very good, not perfect at times, but they've spend money getting some good voice actors. As for the sound complain in another review, I started off with no sound, then realised that I had set-up for DTS sound, which I don't have. After resetting to stereo the sound came on and it sounded great.

I recommend Ghost in the Shell for any anime fan.

So far, I've enjoyed this series very much, more so than the movie, it seems to follow the Manga more closely in both style and story ... I'm looking forward to the next installment as well ...

I see someone has had a problem with the sound, well copy and paste this address:

3.0 out of 5 stars NO Extras on DTS version?, June 14, 2006

This review is from: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Volume 02 (Episodes 5-8) (DVD)

The show is great and DVD sound and picture are great. But, I noticed my DVD has no Extras (the interviews with Aramaki's voice actor andthe composer) even though the box says it is supposed to. Also, the DVD does not have 5.1 sound even though the box claims it does. Did I just get an old DVD in a new box? Maybe it was sitting int the warehouse for a long time? Series is worth having on DVD if you can afford it

****Did anyone else experience the NO EXTRAS problem?****
Thanks
