Oh nice. I guess I now have a reason to hurry up and watch these movies then :)

Wish it were something new, but at least we'll have moved past the lone-wolf and angsty Major phase, right? They could do something decent here. Maybe. Hopefully.

Stupid question, but is Arise related to SAC at all? I've always put aside watching the films due to not having seen SAC.

Precisely. Gotta be positive. I'll look forward to more Togusa and those delicious Sawashiro logicomas.

I can't wait!

Not really, but sort of. Continuity-wise, no relation, but it certainly does setting-wise feel as if Arise was written as a sort of alternate-world prequel to SAC.

But there are no actual links. There are a few unimportant homages and references, and a few similar themes/storylines, but that's relatively superficial stuff.

The news title seems kinda confusing. It makes it sound like Ghost in the Shell: Arise is going to be a new TV series? Perhaps add something like 're-broadcasting'? It's obviously referring to the 4 part films that that debuted. The way I understand it is that they will make their debut on TV but it's nothing new so...

Also, there will be a new movie and I am definitely looking forward to that.

They can't change anything because there aren't any details yet. The main site says "details will follow later".

Possibly. I wonder if it will be an edit version similar to case with PP.

Hmm, taking a look at the news again, I suppose it could be a TV series but I'm not sure on entirely new content.

4 OVAs = 230+ minutes of content which is less than an average 1 cour show. That means they could add in new content to fit for a 10, 12, or 13 episode TV series. Guess we'll find out soon in the future. There could also be a chance it may be an edit version similar to Psycho Pass. (edit)

Very pleased to read this. I hope they improve upon the Arise OVA's.

So I haven't been a fan of Arise at all, but I do love GitS series. The trailer does at least look promising, in terms of keeping closer to the character design of the original Motoko. We will see how this goes. Maybe it will right all the wrong that they did with the Arise movies. Hopefully it's SAC4 in an alternate universe and not more of Arise movies extended.

I highly doubt this will be new material at all. It's just going to be Arise in a 12 episode format with some improved animation. Really no different than PP New Edit version. Either way after finding out the same staff is involved in the new movie my expectations are 0. Where's Kenji Kamiyama when you need him...

Oh gawd, no. And I fear that will be how it'll turn out. Hopefully we actually get new material. But why not just build more on SAC and 2nd GIG? ARISE has been mediocre so far. :/

Or atleast bring back Kamiyama Kenji, c' mon.

ARISE is bad.
The anime will be worse.
I.G. why I.G.
You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again.
With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see.
Many, many times.

But there's already Psycho Pass if we want bad GitS. Guess GitS fans eat up every shit they put on the plate. Arise was an abomination and an insult to the GitS franchise, especially the blatant nostalgia bait in the fourth movie.

Apparently that's going to be James Cameron's next pet project. I would love to see a well animated Battle Angel Alita adaptation though. At the same time if given the choice between Gunnm and GitS I'll take GitS over Gunnm every time.
