One of the most important animes of all time, GHOST IN THE SHELL, is getting a lovingly restored 25th Anniversary Blu-ray this fall courtesy of Anchor Bay. Boasting an all new HD transfer, the Mamoru Oshii film streets on September 30th.
The synopsis for those who have never seen it:
2029 – A female government cyber agent and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of a “The Puppet Master” – a computer virus capable of invading cybernetic brains and altering its victim’s memory. Created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and codenamed “Project 2501”, this ‘hacker’ is actually a prototype virtual agent which has now defied its makers by seeking asylum within a new host body outside of the electronic net. Now the two agencies must maneuver against each another in a violent, high-tech race to capture the omnipresent entity.
Unfortunately, we don’t have intel on the special features just yet, but rest assured we’ll pass them along once they come in.
