in the shell

Great news about SAC 2nd Gig Volume 7, Bandai announced at ComicCon 2006 that

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig Volume 7 Limited Edition will have a box for the rest of the volumes and more figurines.

From little of the series that I have seen there is a lot of blood in the series, so Adult Swim might have to edit out some of the scenes depending on what time slot they air it.

http://www.takotech.net/mshp/media/sss_key.jpg Got this image of Motoko in what looks to be one of her new outfits in Solid State Society from the Solid State Society section of the Japanese Production IG site. Manga Entertainment announced at ComicCon 2006 that Solid State Society in America is go...

All I know about the US release of the Blood+ anime series is that Sony Pictures is going to release the DVD volumes of it in America and in Europe and that Kari Wahlgren (who did the English voice of Robin in Witch Hunter Robin) is going to do the English voice of Saya in Blood+. I have watched a c...

Season's Call track sang by Hyde, the Japanese singer is featured in the Production IG Blood+ anime series.

The Revenge of the Cold Machines novel is coming out on September 16th 2006, got this from the DH Press Books website.

I have found news on a tin box set for the SAC 2nd Gig DVDs but it is only for region 2 (Great Britain). The box set comes with the region 2 volume 7 DVD, a t-shirt with the Individual Eleven logo and a Tachikoma figure, you can see the image of the box set and its contents at http://www.dvdactive.c...

That is good news that production IG announced that they aren't planning in making Solid State Society the last installment of Stand Alone Complex.

Dark Horse Comics is releasing Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor #1 comes out in the US on October 18th 2006 and it includes part one of the "Fat Cat" story, http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=14-247

I have also seen sites that say that volume 6 will come out with the maid and tachikoma figure, I doubt that they would purposely put the same figures in two of the volumes.

I am hoping that either volume 6 or 7 will come with the SAC 3rd soundtrack CD with the Christmas in the Silent Forest track.

The only image of the last DVD volume in SAC 2nd Gig is on the Right Stuff website at http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/o6vd-waWbdzEU1inOl/browse/item/70604/4/0/0 . It looks like that Volume 7 SE discs will be in a single DVD tin case inside a cardboard box. No news on if this volum...

I enjoyed watching Blood the Last Vampire, it was very short but an amazing anime film. From what I read that Blood+ is set on an alternate Earth to the Blood the Last Vampire film, like SAC is set on a parallel Earth to the events in the Ghost in the Shell film. Has anyone seen any of the episodes ...

I think the reason why the Major left Section 9 was that she lost the first person who she had a crush on, Kuze. They were in the same plane crash, she tried to persuade Kuze to be transferred into a prosthetic body, after she failed his test of making a paper crane, so he made a promise that he wil...

Spetznaz is like the delta force or special forces in the Russian military.

The Knights Templar in the cyberpunk game, Deus Ex: Invisible War hated anyone with cybernetic implants.

If Motoko Kusanagi is the Puppeteer then she will have a bigger role as the villain, even if she isn't the Puppeteer then I would think she still will have a big role to play in SSS. I never would have thought that Motoko would leave Section 9 or go against Section 9, these unexpected changes make t...
