Product Description
The revolutionary leader Kuze manages to elude Section 9 once more. There’s no time for Section 9 to recover though, because soon the threat of a nuclear weapon has the entire city of Nagasaki evacuated. Section 9 must then rush to the scene and determine the true origins of the bomb. The government declares Martial Law, and sends in the Self-Defense Forces to restore order. As the group from Section 9 works to prevent a nuclear explosion and unravel the truth behind these events, one random shot escalates the conflict to new heights!

4.0 out of 5 stars Only 3 Episodes...bummer., August 4, 2006

By	CC Crespo (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was kind of annoyed this box set only included episodes 21, 22, and 23. Then I found out, Volume 07 will include the last 4 episodes of this series. So we are getting pretty close to the end, which is unfortunate for fans of the series.

Regardless, with the limited edition version, you get the usual 2 Disc DVDs (Disc 1-DD audio, Disc 2-DTS audio) and this time around we get the following 2 figurines; Tachikoma (Vulcan Type) & President and Maid (Secret).

I haven't viewed the 3 episodes yet, which include 21-'Embarrasment', 22-'Reversal', 23-'Martial Law'. I'm still waiting for a new widescreen HDTV display to view it on. However, based on the rest of the series which I've thoroughly enjoyed, I am counting on more of the same top notch production values with the usual solid storyline.

There are already rumors of a 3rd GIG series coming out in Japan this winter...keep your fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, in the here and now, this is easily the best anime drama series out there. If you still haven't watched this series, I strongly urge you to give it a try. Nothing comes close to the maturity found in this adult storyline/plot. You have to go back to the original Ghost in the Shell movie or even AKIRA for this kind of production value in an anime.

5.0 out of 5 stars What you would expect!, February 8, 2008

By	Tom E. Thompson (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is what you would expect from the team that makes this awsome film and series! Visuals are as always, Top notch in the anime world, with thought provoking story lines, that make it so you can't wait to watch the next episode in the series. If you like you anime like i do with realistic looking charaters, and just alaround good damn movie. you have to have this in your collection, along with the whole series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Who did the packaging??, October 21, 2006

By	Jason Faries - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoy the series. But who's idea was it to put the second series special editions in tins?! They are virtually impossible to get the DVD out. The potential for some to crack the disk is too great. And the tins take up twice the space as a normal clam shell dvd box. The makers may think it is cool as a collectable, but I think it is really annoying. Keep with the clam shell covers!
