Yes. Its awesome. I actually like it better than the anime so far, which is pretty crazy since the live action versions of anime are typically sub-par. I picked up Deathnote 1 & 2 bootlegs in San Francisco's Japan Town. They have a killer DVD shop in there.
And I just got back from IMDB and I see nothing to the affect of Spielberg and GITS on there??? Where did this disturbing information come from please?

OK, so it looks like Spielberg's Dreamworks is just producing it. I didn't read anything about his directing or anything. Why does every good movie have to get remade, reworked and utterly beaten into pulp in the US? I'm so glad Blade Runner never got sequeled or remade....
