It has finally been announced that Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex will be available on DVD as of June this year, and that a US TV release will happen in August.

Bit late for the party, but at least someone finally made it happen! A release for this series is long overdue!

And Shingetsutan Tsukihime has been released on DVD in Japan, so it may disappear from the bit torrents soon for anyone who was contemplating downloading it. Hopefully an English DVD release by the end of 2004 can happen. Apparently the name their running for it now is Lunar Legend Tsukihime. There a limited edition pressing going on at the moment, so anyone in Japan might wanna snap up this.

Read or Die TV is also DVD released in Japan now, so an international licesning will be coming soon for this one. Snap it up ASAP from the torrents!

Oh, and apparently they're trying to do a live action version of Initial D as well! Okay, what's with the sudden obsession with live action?! The original company that was doing it quit and now a new one's taken over. Sheesh.

PS. Does anyone know which anime studio made Shingetsutan Tsukihime? Can't find that bit of info out.

EDIT: Wait, it was J.C. staff. In retrospect, anyone know any other popular titles J.C. staff made?
