WOO-HOO! Finally! Thanks for the link. I HATED the Dreamworks release, so glad that this can finally come out, the way it SHOULD'VE been.

I'll admit I use to be a subtitle whore in the 90's only cause the english voice acting was so terrible then.

Ghost in the Shell SAC was one of the many recent animes that made me say good-bye to subtitles. And yes I'd say it's about time Innocence ( probably one of the best movies ever made ) finally steps up to it's sister series.

Now i can finally watch this movie instead of reading it.

I got the R2 2-disc version... rented the R1 version from the local library once... unfortunately, the R2 subtitles still aren't as good as the dub.
Would be nice if the subtitles were exactly like what the audio dialogue and the CC are.

I'm pretty sure one was for Manga Video in the UK when they couldn't initially release the dub in the U.S. due to Dreamworks owning the rights to the dvd release, but they re-recorded the dub with the same voice cast from Stand Alone Complex for the U.S. release.

Re: Amazon.com: Dubbed Version 1/13/09!

I was really excited about this rerelease because I hated the Dreamworks release as well. I don't watch anime dubbed (the dubs are almost always far inferior to the original voice cast) so I didn't buy this DVD for that reason and can't comment on the dub. I can say I was eager to avoid the crappy hearing impaired subs from the original release.

Thought it was worth mentioning that this DVD is NOT worth it in this regard as the translation is actually worse than the Dreamworks versions and features a startling number of typos. Disappointing.

The only real enemy to have ever existed, is an eternal one.

I watched the new dub of this the other day and I must say, as a person who usually avoids English dub at all costs, I can actually say, it was so well done that I prefer it over subtitles in this release.
