Customer Reviews

A good reason to buy the box set of the TV show

If you want to watch the Laughing Man story from to begining to end without any interuptions or unneccissary segues, you COULD buy the Laughing Man movie.....
For the most part, though....you'll be more satisfied buying the entire first season of 'GITS'. There are alot of little things that you miss out on when you watch the "movie" and there are a few inconsistancies that a true fan will find annoying.

Trust me on this, you're better of buying season one of Ghost In The Shell.
The TV show gets a five star rating from me....the "movei"? TWO stars....and I'm being generous.

Kid Logan has it right

I bought this as a collector of Shirow Masamune's works, not knowing what it was since the box didnt realy describe what it was. Turns out it was a poorly abridged version of the tv episodes I already own, and compared to the original unabridged episodes, this is garbage. Its more or less a poorly improved movie.

Dub???

This is an amazing series and story. The only reason this version receives 4 stars is the dub. I haven't seen the full movie but from the preview the voice actors are completely different from the full series. from what I have heard I would recommend the complete series.
