Japanese GitS Re-Release has Subs + Jump Anime Streamed + Other Shorts

+ posted by c_k in Anime News on Nov 5, 2008 04:41
Ghost in the Shell 2.0 DVD includes English Subs
Japanese Ghost in the Shell 2.0 DVD, the 2008 re-release of the 1995 film, will be sold with English subs states the official listings for both the Japanese DVD and Blu-ray releases, which will be released on December 19.

Summary from Anidb:
In the year 2029, the world is made borderless by the net; augmented humans live in virtual environments, watched over by law enforcement that is able to download themselves into super-powered, crime busting mecha. The ultimate secret agent of the future is not human, has no physical body and can freely travel the information highways of the world, hacking and manipulating whatever and whenever required.

This may mean that you could just import the DVD instead of waiting for them to release a subtitled version for North America.

Three Jump Animes Streamed
Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has announced that three anime specials being shown at the Jump Super Anime Tour, Dragon Ball, Tegami Bachi, and One Piece: Romance Dawn will be streamed for free on the Jumpland website beginning November 24. It is unknown whether or not non-Japanese IP addresses will be blocked. However, you need to "Download the Jumpland Original Browser" in order to view the anime specials.



Downloading a browser is a small price to pay to watch the anime specials, even if you don't understand it at all. Let's just hope they don't block us non-Japanese residents.

Streamed Test Episode for Keroro Gunso
FUNimation posted a dubbed "test episode" for the anime Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunso) anime on YouTube stating:

"Sgt. Frog Needs You! We are beginning work on Sgt. Frog, and we need your input. Watch the test episode and add your comments. Let us know what you think!"



However, I wonder if they really do care about your comment/opinion since I put my opinion on the episode, but later on I was reading the comments and I found out that my comment was removed/hidden. I have never seen an episode of Keroro before so I wasn't influenced by seeing the fan subbed version and I've never read the manga and I thought I gave an objective opinion/critique. Why are some comments hidden? Check out the youtube page and you'll notice that it jumps from comments 2 hours ago to 10 hours ago (as of 8:00pm PST/GMT - 8).

Getting to see the Tegami Bachi special = pretty much the best thing ever <3

I suppose it's probably too much to hope there'll be a sub like how they translated the Bakuman preview chapter when it was up on the Jumpland global sites... obviously I'm happy either way, but still.

Meh, don't know how Jump exactly works, but even on the English site they've put the three specials saying they'll come starting 24/11 (which means probably some time later than that, since Japan has priority).

But who cares anyway, they'll get out on torrent in no time, especially the DBZ special :3 I just hope it's a continuation of DBZ and not GT (forgetting that was fillers, the balls did disappear and Goku went away...)
EDIT: NVM, it's a contination of DBZ, my bad :-)
