in the shell

According to the English Production IG site, here is the sales figures for Japan and America of the SAC DVD volumes. With more than 1.5 million copies sold in Japan and 100.000 copies per volume sold in the USA, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has consolidated his place among the classics in...

The official Solid State Society page on the English Production IG website is up and running at http://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/47_/index.html Here is the true English summary of SSS and not the translated version, I got this from the Solid State Society webpage on Production IG's site...

I liked how in SAC 2nd Gig, a lot of things were tied to the original manga, it kind of provided closure between the manga and SAC TV series, but I wouldn't like to see the puppet master story from the original manga being repeated in SSS. It will be interesting to see what exactly happens in Solid ...

I read that summary of SSS as well and I was shocked to find out that Motoko left Section 9 and Togusa has taken Motoko's place as Second in command, I would have expected Batou to replace the Major and that the Major could be the puppet master. Either this is what is going to happen or the translat...

Jeni, when you have the time, you should read the novel, it is a good read. At least, in this novel, they call cyberbrain "cyberbrain" and not "e-brain" like in the Innocence: The Long Goodbye" novel, that e-brain reference made me angry.

The only ones that I heard that can scale normal DVDs to 720p are the new Samsung blue ray DVD player and I think the Toshiba HD DVD player, but you need a HDMI connector on the television to connect the players to it.

I have also found that Seburo is misspelled, in the novel, it is written as sebro.

Despite these editing errors, I still enjoyed reading this novel, it reads just like an episode of Stand Alone Complex and I could see a SAC movie based upon this novel.

The blue-ray and HD DVD players scale normal DVDs to 720p.

The second Stand Alone Complex novel is coming out on July 19th 2006 and it is titled "Revenge of the Cold Machines".

There is a Hot Topics store in the mall that I go, but I have never been inside.

Tonks_kittygoth, I never heard of a HT store, do you know their web address to see if there is one in my area, I want to see if there is one near me and it sells Ghost in the Shell T-shirts. I live near Ann Arbor, Michigan and there is an anime store in Ann Arbor called Wizzywig and their sell almos...
