Also from Sitges: English-subbed King of Thorn & Crows II promos

Spain's Sitges Film Festival (October 1-12) has posted a new 77-second English-subtitled trailer for Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai, the animated documentary about revered swordfighting tactician Musashi Miyamoto. Mizuho Nishikubo directed this Production I.G film based on a script by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, The Sky Crawlers, Avalon). Sitges is also hosting Kazuyoshi Katayama's King of Thorn film's English trailer and Takashi Miike's live-action Crows Zero II film trailer.

The North American anime distributor Manga Entertainment is hosting a 61-second trailer for Ghost in the Shell 2.0, the remastered, computer-enhanced edition of Oshii's first Ghost in the Shell cyberspace film. Manga Entertainment will release the film on DVD and Blu-ray Disc next month.

The official website for the Durarara!! television anime series has begun streaming a 104-second promotional video on Saturday. The "warped adolescent fantasy romance" story is set in a rowdy version of Tokyo's Ikebukuro neighborhood. The anime adapts the Durarara!! light novel series by Baccano! author Ryohgo Narita. The novels already inspired a manga series in Square Enix's G Fantasy magazine earlier this year.

Update: Ghost in the Shell 2.0 will be available only on Blu-ray Disc.
