Customer Reviews

Not the complete series
This box set does not include the complete series (first & second GIG), it actually includes a cut down 150 minute edit of each series. What you get is a compilation of the 'complex' episodes distilled down to a feature that is one quarter of the original series length, with the 'stand alone' content missing.

So, you have both series abridged plus th Solid State Society film. If you are looking for the complete collection, look elsewhere. This probably isn't the experience that you are hoping for.

Mesmerising Entertainment
If you like the other "Ghost in the Shell" films you will also love this boxset.For me "Individual 11", which is the second film in this trilogy , is a masterpiece riviling first film or the likes of "Akira".Word of warning though- after I have watched the films I bought the entire series(1st and 2nd) so you might carry on spending money...but it is well worth it.
Mesmerising entertainment of the highest grade - strongly recommended.
