Wow. The legendary anime comes back? The best has been saved for last. How has Kuze been in cyberworld? Major Motoko will be after him? AI of Uchikoma has developed? They are endlessly interesting to me.

This is great, a rumor has been going around for years. Hopefully it's a series. Looks like I might be going on a GitS marathon.

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.

When I saw the headline for this news I was hoping that this was a 3rd season to SAC, but apparently it's not.

Yoko Kanno not involved? Already a disappointment.

Seriously I don't know what to make from this news. One of my favorite franchises in anime, but WTF happen to Motoko? Her "new" design looks like shit. I just hope Section 9 doesn't end up being a bishōnen group.

If Google Translate can be trusted, it looks like they are having some event on February 13 where they will properly announce it. Also looks like it'll stream live on Youtube. I think.

Technically, the Major doesn't really age due to the whole being a cyborg thing, so this is probably just another body that she's using rather than a younger version of herself.

A Prequel would be nice. Her life-story from 2nd Gig was kinda lame.
Character design looks like a fusion of movies Major and SAC Major.

I thought so too, but you are thinking about this from the in-world perspective. I'm talking about the character designers. I somehow doubt they would make her look younger for a sequel. Technically the major isn't a woman either. That doesn't mean they would make her a man in this version. I could be wrong, obviously. That was just the first thing that came to mind when I saw that picture.

I'm not really feeling Motoko's new character design and I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't SAC3 but at least we get something.

I really hope they at least keep the same VAs.

Fair enough. That is of course assuming that it is a sequel; it could be what SAC was to the original movie in that it's an alternative universe with no major links to the movie, in which case a new character design would make more sense.

Good point. Especially if they are thinking about "rebooting" the franchise with more than one project. In that case, a redesign like that would definitely make sense.

It's stupid to assume that the new show will be a sequel or a prequel, since Gits universe has alternate settings in itself . It' more than likely that this will take place in a different setting from the movies and the series. Anyway,it's good to see Motoko again.
