This article has written a paragraph: "In August 1996, Ghost in the Shell became the first Japanese film to top the Billboard video sales chart, with over 200,000 VHS copies sold." But I have never heard about Billboard has kind of chart about video that doesn't relate to music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truy Mộng (talk • contribs) 02:34, August 13, 2020 (UTC)

Why is there no date for the US theatrical release? 130.0.28.19 (talk) 19:40, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Because it's not a relevant release. It's not an American film. Canterbury Tail talk 15:44, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

The article states:
"The film had its world premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival on 18 October 1995 before its general release in November. It premiered in the United Kingdom on 11 November 1995 as part of the London Film Festival in Leicester Square. It was originally rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) due to full nudity and graphic violence when it was first released in the United States."
This is false. Anime was unrated, since it is from Japan. Japan does not follow the US rating system. 185.85.154.68 (talk) 10:24, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

In case you needed "proof".
