Funimation Acquires GitS: Arise
FUNimation has announced its acquisition of domestic distribution rights to the upcoming four-part Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVA series. FUNimation will initially release the series in a [presumably series of] limited-edition of 2,500 imported copies of the English subtitled Japanese Blu-ray, with an English translated booklet, before later producing a conventional domestic home video release for the series. FUNimation also plans a limited theatrical release for the first two short films later this year. The first movie will get a limited Japanese theatrical release beginning on the 22nd before hitting Japanese DVD & Blu-ray on July 26.
The first film’s first eight-minutes is available online with selectable English subtitles until June 28:
