Movie or series, I don't care. I just hope that Production I.G. has a good reason for giving the direction to someone other than Kamiyama (does anybody know of any specific reasons?). If you look at Kamiyama's general output (S.A.C., seirei no moribito, Higashi no Eden) and the vast directorial improvement between the two S.A.C. seasons, it is unclear why he does not seem to be involved with this.

What does Oshi's films have to do with anything? People are probably commenting about the third installment in the S.A.C. universe being the S.S.S. movie rather than a full season, nobody talked about Oshi.

so no GiTS: Stand Alone Complex

this is generally another "spin-off" for the franchise

I think you should look up the word "plebs" and what it means. Say what you want about SAC, but opium for the masses it wasn't. It's one of the most intelligent shows I know.

And nothing really on the new director and composer. Don't know any of their works. ><

But I will still watch...
I love the franchise too much.

Ugh. Seeing the visuals... I don't like it. Doesn't give off the right feeling. ><
I will watch... but expectations are much lower than when I saw "New Ghost in the Shell anime" topic name.

HELL YES!!!!
As good as the SAC series were, I'd prefer a feature film, simply because it would allow for better animation. Not that a TV series by I.G. would look bad, far from it, but films still have better visuals.

Kazuchika Kise is better known as an animator, this will be his second directorial work. At the very least he'll have the contacts to gather a team of amazing animators. Staff list seems a bit risky, but I'm all for a new take on the franchise.

NO

NO hype.

Fucking hell.

Just 3 eps into Koukaku Kidoutai STAND ALONE COMPLEX, and BIG disappointment how they fucked up Motoko compared to the movie. And by movie, obviously 1995. PIG really likes to fuck things up with their CG/3D shit. They should learn and start using it only on vehicles and other environment.

Looking forward to this being a whole new different story.

Are you talking about character design or personality? If it is the former, I agree; thankfully, the second season has a much better design and an appropriate wardrobe for the main character.

If it is about personality, of course 3 episodes in you cannot believe that any character has been fully developed; you will be getting exposed to new aspects of Motoko's (and other characters') personalities well into the second season and the S.S.S. movie. And that is a good thing, right? Furthermore, note that the Major from the 1995 movie is very different from Shirow's original; Kamiyama's Motoko is much closer to Shirow's (of course, that does not mean it is better; some people prefer Oshi's, some Shirow's original, some Kamiyama's, and some are happy that three very gifted people offer three very distinct takes on a fascinating theme).

I'm definitely not going to write this off before seeing it. But, I'd be lying if I said my interest didn't drop when I heard Kamiyama isn't involved.

Wait! This can't be good. I don't want to see my Ghost in the Shell with those silly style stick figures.
Please leave the desighn style as it was in SAC, is was absolutely awesome.
From that small pic Motoko already looks more shiny and childish than before and i don't like that prospect.

For the scrip i have no complains with Ubukata. The guy did the Mardock Scramble movies and i love those.

So is not gonna be a continuation of SAC? I hope is not just a movie.

Anyway as a big Ghost in the Shell fan i am gonna be happy for now. I would be throwing a party if i wasn't so worry about the character desighn and that director.

^ I read the manga first and so I never felt close to the Motoko I saw in the movie. I always think they might as well changed the name of the main character in the movie.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
