Ghost in the Shell 2.0: Remastering a Masterpiece!

George Lucas did it and now it is Mamoru Oshii´s turn. There are some classic movies that really needed retouching and remastering with the technology that was not available at the time of their creation.  Online stores are selling from today, Mamoru Oshii´s masterpiece, Ghost in the Shell now with the 2.0 added to the main title.

Mamoru Oshii’s legendary anime film “Ghost In The Shell” returns in a stunning new edition remastered by Mamoru Oshii himself. Revised so much as to warrant a “version 2.0″ heading, the new edition of this film features newly-done CG cuts and complete digital remastering to prepare it for this amazing new release. DVD also features new recordings from the original cast, revised music from Kenji Kawai, and 6.1 channel sound created with the help of Skywalker Sound. Specs: Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound with parts in stereo….and best of all, it comes with english subtitles.

This are screenshots between the 1.0 and the 2.0 versions…Just WoW!

    Wow, those screenshots are pretty hot. I appreciate it as a classic, but I really don’t like the original GitS as much as I like Stand Alone Complex. Still, if this becomes available Stateside, I’ll definitely try to check it out.
