[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

Ah, I suspect it will depend on what the contents of the scene is. They probably won't cut unless they absolutely feel they have to.

TV version is a completely different take on the movie I believe, so there's no H-content whatsoever.

The Movie (currently with Kitty Media I think, same with Kite) is the R18+ version.
 
For those who can play them I've read over at blu-ray.com that the Korean Ghost In The Shell SAC 1 and 2 Blu-rays are open for pre-order for a plain edition at $57 ea.

I've seen a few posts on the Blu-Ray.com forums before that says these sets are actually region free.

I'll definitely be picking these up since I missed out on them the first time. Still a little pricey for me (I think it works out to somewhere in the range of £120 for both sets plus shipping) since it's that time of year and all, but I'll just forgo some of the things I was planning on getting this month.

Id rather not risk it, and as you say its that time of year. If this was January I would so take the leap of faith but alas. Maybe next time.
 
Yes it's only the compilations (laughing man, individual eleven and solid state society) and not the series.

Jerome have confirmed they are working with Anime Limited (who have it in France) to share costs and they will be releasing SAC next year on Blu ray but there is no release date yet. Only the OVA's have been confirmed at this point but it will happen.

If that happens I'll be pretty happy. What is the quality of the french release like?

Is there a tweet or something that confirms that? I remember there being issues with releasing SAC a few years back as they wanted to release each season over multiple volumes

A source other than hearsay would be much appreciated on this one :)

Jerome has confirmed it when asked on twitter but he did not mention AL specifically but as they have the French Licence it makes allot of sense. I've not actually seen the French release so I can't comment on what it looks like. I can't find the tweets relating to this as it was weeks ago and in response to a question.

Confirmed what? That they're bringing the OVAs over?

I'll look for the tweets myself but I don't imagine they confirm anything about the SAC TV series. WIll be shocked if they do

edit - and here it is. confirmation of SAC on BD

I'm sure there was a more in-depth exchange than that.

But I'm glad you found that, so at least it's been proven me and @crashmatt weren't misleading anyone.
