Production I.G: Idea Bankruptcy
As much as I love the Ghost in the Shell franchise, I wish Production I.G would stop updating their classic shows. First, GitS 2.0 (not to be confused with Innocence) and now Solid State Society 3D.
These are great show which do not need to be updated. Please stop Lucasing them.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex CD-BOX
Yes, got mine in the mail. Thanks YesAsia! I highly recommend them. Free international shipping (conditions apply)!
The package design is exquisite, very classy. All transparent and white.
The styrofoam block to hold the Tachikoma USB thumb drive is a little out of place though… am I supposed to toss it out and keep the drive elsewhere? Tsk…
Making the booklet white on white is just… ass backwards. It looks very cool and everything, but come on! The print is actually more legible in the photo compared to Real Life due to the camera flash.
Isn’t it just the cutest thing?
One thing I noticed is that the music was beautifully mastered. There is a remarkable clarity to even the densest passages; I could hear each instrument distinctly. The music by the incomparable Kanno Yoko is fantastic, of course.
There have been complaints that the new O.S.T. 4 “Smooth in the Shell” is only available in this set, forcing fans who have already bought the other albums separately to shell out for the whole set if they want that. Pretty bad form by the record company, but for the few fans of Kanno Yoko who don’t already own any of the previously released albums (like myself, luckily), this is a great set to own.
