Nice. I got the regular edition, haven't even watched it yet, but I may get this too. Wish the cover was better, even though it is essentially the original poster to be fair.

Would have preferred this art, or even the same as the regular edition

This artwork would have made a great looking steel too:

Love this movie. Wanted this in blu for ages

GC Riot · 05-16-2016, 05:09 PM

There's a 2 on the spine. Which film is 1?

rickah88 · 05-16-2016, 07:17 PM

Very nice!

Saw this many moons ago on an... eeeehhhh "backup" copy VCD and was a bit unprepared (to put it mildly)! Still loved it and was happy to get the Limited Edition for less than £15!

I will stick on my Digipack Edition: I do not particulary like the cover, hate the spine, the back is meeeeh.

Great film, terrible design.

Awful art, it's just a screencap from the movie.

Well, it's one of the original movie posters:

But I think they shouldn't have cropped it (or zoomed in) for the steelbook cover.

GreatGreg · 05-19-2016, 11:48 AM

This is one of the classic images for the movie and has been used in many releases before, so no it is not just a screencap.

P-Rock · 05-19-2016, 11:56 AM

It still sucks though.

zakzak · 05-19-2016, 12:55 PM

Barebones release like Ghost in the Shell steelbook?

There aren't really any interesting extras anyway.

DrewPa · 05-20-2016, 04:40 PM

What does that "2" on the Spine stand for? Is there another "@Anime" Steelbook ?

jimidini · 05-21-2016, 04:44 PM

It just went up.

Looks like it was an error, the updated artwork has a "1"

Only £15.99 too not a bad price for an Anime release to be fair. Not sure I want to double dip though, the original AL release was wonderful.

Already have a cobbled together "Super Edition" since it's one of my favorite films. Combined the Anime LTD Collector's Edition and the Japanese Limited Edition. Not sure if I want to triple dip for just the steelbook.

But I agree that although it's the most recognizable picture from the film, there's a lot better art out there from the movie that could have been utilized. What I love about the Japanese edition pictured above is though it contains that same image, it also features another image on top of it, creating quite the cool effect (might be hard to see in the pic above):
