With the import release of Ghost in the Shell: Arise by FUNimation last week on Blu-ray, the first time they’ve done a subtitled-only release in general but also their first import release, they’ve brought out a new Hey, Nice Package! segment that highlights the packaging for the release and what they did with translation for materials and the like. Check out the video below to see what the release looks like that you can get very close to the original Japanese release as well.

This release contains:

* imported die-cut O-card

* imported blu-ray disc

* imported filmstrip

* English translated artbook

Plot concept: In the year 2027, a year following the end of the non-nuclear World War IV, a bomb has gone off in Newport City, killing a major arms dealer who may have ties with the mysterious 501 Organization. Public Security official Daisuke Aramaki hires full-body cyber prosthesis user and hacker extraordinaire, Motoko Kusanagi, to investigate. On the case with her are “Sleepless Eye” Batou, who believes Kusanagi is a criminal, Niihama Prefecture Detective Togusa who is investigating a series of prostitute murders he believes are related to the incident, and Lieutenant Colonel Kurtz of the 501 Organization who also wishes to keep an eye on Kusanagi.
