How about Mila Jocavich as Motoko and Ron Perlman as Batou?

Batou used to be in Section 2 (I think) that was also called the "Rangers". They all have them. In SAC 2nd GIG second to last episode you see this. And yea, it does have its advantages.

It does have an English dub. And no I don't have it, it comes out tomorrow.

As soon as I bought the crappy Dreamworks version, this beauty is coming out. I think I'll just buy it anyway. http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Shell-Vol-2-Innocence/dp/B001K98MFK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1226177688&sr=1-6%3Cbr%3E http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5198gY%2B1sZL._SS420...
