You’ve probably been unable to ignore the fact that we’re getting a live action Ghost in the Shell film that looks pretty darn impressive. With its approaching release, Anchor Bay has teamed up with the Mondo crew to release a special new version of the original 1995 anime classic, a new Steelbook edition featuring artwork by Kilian Eng that was originally released as a Mondo poster in celebration of the film’s 25th Anniversary back in 2014.
Synopsis
A female cybernetic government agent, Major Motoko Kusanagi, and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of “The Puppet Master,” a mysterious and threatening computer virus capable of infiltrating human hosts. Together, with her fellow agents from Section 9, they embark on a high-tech race against time to capture the omnipresent entity. Ghost in the Shell took the world by storm in the mid-90’s, exhibiting a new dimension of anime with unprecedented, mesmerizing cinematic expression. Seamlessly merging traditional animation with the latest computer graphic imagery, this stunning sci-fi spectacle challenged the boundaries of mainstream animation with detailed artistic expression and a uniquely intelligent story line. Veteran director Mamoru Oshii skillfully creates the ultimate anime experience in this futuristic masterpiece based on the groundbreaking comic book by Masamune Shirow.
