Ghost In The Shell: Individual 11 [Blu-ray]

While I love Ghost in the Shell, this was a bit disappointing. I was expecting the series. There are missing parts and voices are different. Still worth watching.

I absolutely loved the Stand Alone Complex series and first watched the condensed "movie" versions of the two seasons of the show back when I had a Hulu Plus membership. While you lose out on a great deal of the small details and side stories of the regular episodic version of the story it is a great way to watch the main story of the season. The clarity of the picture and sound on this release is excellent and this is a happy addition to my BluRay anime collection, especially until the full season comes down in price a bit.

This is the second season concentrated down to 2hrs. and 40 min. For those of you who don't have the time or inclination to go through the 7 DVD series here is a way to get the essentials in an intense and violent way. I have already viewed it several times and actually prefer this two-DVD set to the whole Second Gig. While a lot is left out if you never saw the original you wouldn't know it. It holds together as a lengthy movie and has a lot of action. My understanding is the English voice actors aren't the same but I couldn't tell it. It really does save time and is entertaining besides. [Ed. note: the original 660 minute "Ghost in the Machine S.A.C. 2nd GIG" of which this is edited from is well worth the viewing. "The Individual Eleven" puts a whole season into one great movie.]

I already watched this story with another DVD set but I wanted to watch with this Blue-ray again.Then the story is still good . I always enjoy each Ghost in the Shell story but this is my favorite one now.

It's not that great of a movie...in fact, it's not really a movie, but a collection of excerpts from a season-long television series which is rather hard to follow. But this type of stuff being such a favorite of mine, I watched it and liked it anyway. Also being a Christian I liked the cross and redemption analogies in the climax. If you're going to borrow from another story, you might as well borrow from the greatest (true) story ever told! As so many do...maybe because we know deep down that it is true? Oh, and I didn't mind the different voice actors, like so many other reviewers...I thought they were fine.

So, Gits: Laughing Man condensed 26 episodes into one 162 minute movie, which I really enjoyed. Gits: Individual Eleven similarly condensed 26 episodes into one 162 minute production. Also, added some political notes I had not seen before. Well watching; willing to entertain discussion on the political angles.

This is the Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig episode of The Individual Eleven without the extra episodes to it.I like watching both.

If you have never seen the origional episodes, then I would recommend this for you. But, if you have seen the origionals, this will dissapoint. There is just too much missing to make me enjoy this. I know it is difficult to cut an entire season down to a two-hour movie, but I suppose everyone will have something they miss when done in this fashion. If you are a casual fan, go for it, you will enjoy it. Just do yourself a favor and watch the full series after.

This Blu-day DVD delivers very crisp pictures. As a film, this is one long (close to 3 hours) episode with a fairly heavy political background. Very talky, too. So at times I wished things would move a tad faster. All the main characters from Section 9 are there, each playing their role. The story is complex and well thought-out, I have to say. With a little bit of patience, and if you are a fan of the GITS series, you will enjoy it.

Great show, but I really wish the episodes not directly related to the main story were left in as they were great on their own. That's my only gripe with this release, otherwise, fantastic!

Ghost in the Shell: Individual Eleven [Blu-ray] [Import]に関してのレビューを書かせて頂きたい。内容は、文句ナシに面白く、それに関しては既に多くのレビューで言及されている為割愛する。【音声&字幕の仕様】北米版で、日本語音声と英語音声が収録されている。どちらの音声で視聴しても、字幕は英語のみでON/OFFが可能（※一部の北米版の作品のように、日本語音声に強制的に英語の字幕が付き、ソレをOFFにできない仕様ではない）。【再生環境】PS3で再生が可能。但し、日本仕様の他のブルーレイプレーヤーでは、再生が不可な場合があるかもしれない。【映像特典etc】①Tachikomatic Days、②2nd Gig Individual Eleven Archive【評価】上記の内容で、この1,479円という事であるから、大満足の星×5つとさせて頂きたい。

自分の場合、最近衛星放送で放映されていた本作を録画していたのですが、不幸な事故で最終回だけ録画に失敗してしまいました。したがって、最終話だけは何としても観たいという必要性もあって、本品を購入しました。個別の11人にかかわる話だけを編集した総集編ですが、最終回以外は観賞済みの自分には何の問題もなく、話数が多いだけに最初の頃の話は記憶があいまいになっていたところを再確認でき、非常にお買い得な品でした。このシリーズを理解するためには、当然全話観賞するのが望ましいのですが、全話揃えるのはなかなか金額的に大変です。しかし、本品のような北米版総集編でも充分にシリーズの柱的な部分は理解できますし、まだ観た事のない方にはお試し品的な意味で購入しても、値段的に観てコストパフォーマンスは十分すぎると思います。（英語の勉強もできる点は別にしても…）ＰＳ３で操作した限りでは、音声の切り替えも、字幕の切り替えも操作可能です。本品のような北米版を上手に利用したいものです。

個別の11人テロから始まり、ジガバチAVとのタチコマ戦い　鍵を握るクゼとの攻防、そして暗躍するプロデュース気取りの合田に抗う公安九課　テレビ版の内容を80％以上上手くつなぎ合わせて作られている。悪くない
