NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
This just sucks. The Japanese DVD release of Mamoru Oshii's Innocence - the sequel to the hugely influential Ghost in the Shell and owner of the most technically impressive animation I have ever laid eyes on - has just been announced and it DOESN'T INCLUDE SUBTITLES!!!! Despair. Sadness. Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not entirely surprising since Dreamworks undoubtedly wants to ensure that geeks such as myself buy their version, but will they be releasing a limited edition version with FIVE DVDS, collectible figures and books of artwork? I think not. On second though, considering that limited ed runs about $400 US it may not be a bad thing that they didn't subtitle it ...

Is this JUST the special edition that wont have subs?
That sounds like one sweet set... if it werent for the lack of subs and crazy price tag... I can only imagine how much import tax you'd have to pay on that baby!!!
Though I was slightly underwhelmed by the first movie, it was good. I look forward to checking this one out.

I've looked at a few different sources and it seems definite that none of the Japanese editions will be subtitled ...

Okay, this makes me feel better. Last time I looked at the film's US site it was still under construction ... they've finished it up now and listed a release date of September 17th.
