This story found its way into yesterdays story on the animatrix. The link was dead in that story as well. And the site itself does not have a link to the trailer....

I've always been the kinda guy to fall for the girl dressed like an eskimo.
Click the link below the trailer header: http://www.sa.sakura.ne.jp/~straydog/oshii/gits-sa c/index.html
As I recall, actually, the movie was ORIGINALLY produced in English, and later dubbed into Japanese. I've seen both versions, and they're both pretty inpenetrable. Make no mistake, though. I loved it, and I love Masamune Shirow.
As for the Major being naked, if you read the comic, she spends a lot more time naked there. (Well, sorta. There are some deleted scenes.)
That link has been dead since the 31st, at least. Is news moderation that slow around here or did the poster forget to check the link.
This one is only 34.7 and can be found at: http://www.sa.sakura.ne.jp/~straydog/oshii/gits-sa c/gits-sac-trailer.mpeg
I'm getting decent speed.
the trailer is now HERE
I'll try to post a USA mirror in a little while.

This is not a sig. this is a duck. quack.
There's a copy here: www.daedalustech.co.uk/gits-sac-trailer.mpeg (I must be insane)
Take it easy with the server though... I'm not sure how much load it can take...
I've got it on Gnutella too (same filename - gits-sac-trailer.mpeg), so only use the link when absolutely necessary... please.
I'll take it down if you guys kill the server too much...
Dont mind me, anyways... I'm just karma whoring.
Was the book Japan: Profile of a Nation? It is indeed published by Kodansha and appears to be close to what you described.
From the description on Amazon, it also appears to be a condensed version of their large encyclopedia: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, which is an order of magnitude more expensive.
.. I can't think of a better use of college bandwidth :)

All of them here
I have 3 versions that I've mirrored:
A 34.8 MB mpeg
16.2 MB wmv
and a 2.4 MB wmv
Enjoy
I've re-encoded it with DivX and halfed the screen size. It's just under 7 MB and mirrored it here
No, the book is 'Japan At A Glance':

My copy was a gift from a Japanese friend, (dunno why I mentioned that
I guess I should really have mentioned it in the original post.
- Watashi = I
- Nani? = what?
- Nanda? = same as 'what' I think.
- Nano? = where am I?
- Daymo = but
- mushi mushi = hello
- Un-o = excuse me
Pretty sad... that's it.--

There is a ((slightly) more) acceptable compromise featured on the Excel Saga DVDs. ADV calls them "vid-notes", and what they are is pop-up-video-style notes that explain the nuances that got left out. When Excel pulls some gag that makes absolutely NO sense in English I can at least read the note that says "This is a hilarious pun in Japanese" and know what I'm missing.
