Motoko Kusanagi is back! And ready for more action on the streets of Japan. Bandai Namco has revealed another exciting 45-second teaser trailer for a new version of GITS titled simply The Ghost in the Shell (with “the” in the title this time). 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 movies & series already (here’s the first teaser for this series 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 or did we all forget it already?), and video games. Motoko Kusanagi, also known as Major, returns again battling more cybercrime. With animation from 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 which hopefully means viewable in the US as well. This was revealed as part of the AnimeJapan 2026 event happening now. So far so good, I’m really digging all this new footage and the new look of The Major. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
