Manga UK Clarifies Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Confusion

Date: Thursday, February 12, 2004

After yesterdays press release about the joint release plans for the GitS: SAC series this year between Bandai and Manga Entertainment, one reader in the UK sent of an inquiry to the Manga UK branch to see if they could ferret out some information there. According to questions and responses, the following was learned:

  • "The UK will release the first volume on June 28th, actually one day earlier than the US. " So the date in the press release is only slightly off.
  • "Manga will handle the worldwide (ex. Asia) releases on DVD and Bandai will handle the TV rights across the same territory. " This makes it clear that Manga will be handling the DVD authoring and distribution of the show. For those keeping track, the Japanese releases are 16:9 anamorphic and have Japanese 5.1 audio tracks on them with 2 episodes per disc. Manga has not yet indicated what will be on the R1/R2(Europe) discs yet.
  • Many thanks to "Damo" for inquiring and bringing the information to light.
