Just watched Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
 

I just watched Ghost in the Shell 2:Innocence. It totally rocked with the graphics and everything! Did anyone see this sweet ass movie? How was your viewing?

I haven't seen it yet, I didn't know it was even out. Hell I haven't even gotten a copy of the manga yet. I'm so behind the times.

I've seen Ghost in the Shell, and despite my general lack of enthusiasm for anime, I found it to be surprisingly brilliant.

I'll have to check this out now.

Damn it! Didn't even know it was out! Where'd you see it? And more importantly, when's it coming out on DVD!? MUST. SEE. GITSI!!!

hmm, i knew it released in japan recently, but ive yet to see any fansubs... WHERE. DID. YOU. SEE IT! you must TELL US! and it better not have been in japan, that just wouldnt be fair.

It wasn't Japan. It was America. I watched at the North America premier at SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival). It was at the move theater called the Cinerama on June 12th.

Man, I must be falling off the anime radar, not heard of this yet. I've got the 1st season of GITS:SAC on CD, but Haven't seen this one out yet. Time to search amazon.

Hiya,

It isn't in general release in the US yet:

http://www.moviecentre.net/upcomingm...review/368.php

The official site says it will be release in the US on September 17. I'm hoping they're releaseing it someplace where I can see it. I can't wait...

it's been available in pretty bad quality on Bit Torrent for a few months...

but thats just for those who speak Japanese.

can't wait for it to be on the big screen!!!

they made a second one... this is a must buy... any idea where i can get it for cheap

:) nice!!!

I can't even think of what the second one will be like....other than freakin awesome! I'll never get to see it in a theater though....nebraska sucks.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!



Now I must see this movie.

This is the best news I've heard in years..

I'll have to try and catch it on the seventeenth. been waiting for this one, a long, long time.

Yeah, me too! I'm going Friday right from work.

I hate going to theaters because of crowds, but I figure a couple xanax and I should be okay.

Going to see the 11 PM show tonight..more to come

Watched it at the Toronto Film Festival, and I think I loved it! Oshii did an amazing job with it. However, it was extremely heavy on the philosophy... Honestly, there was so much going on, and the visuals were so stunningly beautiful, that I can't wait until DVD to figure out for sure whether I loved it or not!

You forgot Camera 7 in San Jose. I've seen this movie twice already. I would reccoment it to anyone who could keep up with the first.

I just caught it on Monday night at the Camera 7 (it closes there on Thursday, Oct. 7). I had forgotten it took me half a dozen viewings of the first one to figure out what was going on. I guess I need to see Innocence at least five more times before I can comment intelligently on it.

I think one of the best parts is that the characters have aged between films. Cool little details like that make it a great movie.

I've heard it's as good as the original.

I didn't like the original as much as a lot of people. I thought it was supremely overrated. But it was good nonetheless!

Saw it last week. The story is a little slower paced than the original, lots of philosophical discussion, but it looks unbelievable.
