Comments Produced by the same Spanish company (but under license of Kodansha & Seishinsha) that did Cybergirls this portfolio gathers together 6 prints portraying images from Ghost in the Shell, that were not released in the Intron Depot 1 artbook, but were originally released as huge posters in the Cyberdelics boxed set… and this is the main reason I gave this portfolio an average rating. EVERY single image in it, was from the Cyberdelics boxed set… and while it’s fine n’ dandy if you can’t afford or find that set, it’s frustrating for us fans who have it.
Atleast with the previous Cybergirls portfolio, you essentially got 7 images, with the cover one being the 7th, but the cover image of this set is also repeated as a poster within.

Each comes with a paper slip (the same size as the poster) as in Cybergirls, but all the information it lists for the images in this portfolio, is the creation date, and time ~_~
The images are printed on a thick heavy card with a nice smooth gloss finish.

IMHO this portfolio really is only good for pulling apart and putting on your walls… if you have the Cyberdelics boxed set, DON’T BOTHER with this portfolio! If you don’t have the Cyberdelics boxed set, see if you can get it. Funnily enough, there are still new boxes floating around, and believe me, you’ll thank yourself for going to the effort of getting it.
If you have no other choice, get this, if only for having these particular images in a larger than “normal” size.
