“A new era of cyberpunk action begins!” Yes! Here we go, sci-fi geeks. Bandai Namco has debuted their full official trailer for a new version of GITS titled simply The Ghost in the Shell (with “the” in the title). A very jazzy, angsty new trailer to enjoy along with the second teaser a few months ago. From the acclaimed animation studio Science Saru, this is a brand new animated TV series version of the iconic sci-fi series Ghost in the Shell, which comes from a manga that has been turned into many successful movies & series already (here’s the first teaser from a few months ago). Beginning with Shirow Masamune’s 1989 manga, The Ghost in the Shell, the franchise has since transcended media boundaries, expanding into mediums like anime, a live-action Hollywood film (remember?), and video games. Motoko Kusanagi, also known as Major, returns again battling more cybercrime. With animation by Science Saru (Inu-oh, The Colors Within, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Dan Da Dan). The fresh anime arrives in Japan as a TV series launching in July 2026 – as a Prime Video exclusive. This is looking better and better! Featuring music production by FlyingDog and music direction by Taisei Iwasaki. They clearly updated this for modern young anime audiences with more emotive & flamboyant characters but it still looks fun. I’ll be watching this in the summer for sure – I’m in. // Continue Reading ›
