For want of a better word, Ghost in the Shell now seems less cartoon-like. The 2D animation now feels softer edged, the quality of light is subtly different, as if the film has an inner glow, and the colour timer-ist has been at work, toning down the primary colours, and giving the film a more realistic, nuanced palette.

The rest of the film appears to be the untouched 2D animation, until it becomes clear that not a single frame of the movie has escaped renovation. The quality of the graphics has also entered the 21st Century, and it looks a substantial jump forward in technology. Gone is the green and blue colour theme of the original, and in comes a profusion of red and gold, to provide continuity to the Innocence sequel.

Another point of debate will be the upgrade of the computer graphics and displays that were in the film. The movie has undergone a substantial overhaul, with perhaps the most contentious issue, a couple of blatant CGI moments looking a tad out of place with the rest of the animation. This is an excellent transfer, and can probably only be surpassed by the Blu-ray disc. I didn't even notice the usual anime blight of colour banding. This blows it away, with a consistently smooth and seamless transfer, with none of the usual problems with compression and noise. Picture Ghost in the Shell 2.0 gets a 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer, and I once thought that the Special Edition had a good presentation on the DVD format. I think there is an element of all three in Ghost in the Shell 2.0. Finally there is the old 'bums on seats', keep the tills ringing motive. Upgrading the original movie goes some way to restoring continuity between the two films. Innocence redefined the state of the anime art a few years ago, and as a sequel to Ghost in the Shell, in some way reinvented the world and the characters. Upgrading these scenes alone would make the film relevant to modern audiences once more. Ghost in the Shell was one of the earlier films to use CG animation, albeit for the computer displays alone, and that's the part of the film that looks the most dated.
In an industry where visual effects technology changes by the day, there is an argument that what may have been cutting edge CGI ten months ago, looks hopelessly dated today.
He also altered the dub slightly, offering an Easter Egg for fans of Stand Alone Complex.

But when it came to Ghost in the Shell a few years ago, he went for the full Lucas, upgrading the audio and the visuals, inserting new effects and generally remaking the film from the ground up. Mamoru Oshii is no stranger to the practise, as he's already revisited his Patlabor films and given them an aural upgrade.
