The original 80s manga was goofy though. Like it or not, it's a more faithful iteration than the movies and SAC.

I only have a vague idea of what Ghost in the Shell is, but after seeing that trailer, I might jump into this series with this as a starting point. Knowing Science Saru, this will be a very stylish interpretation, as evidenced by the art style and music.

I still haven't tapped into anything GITS-related but this trailer looks really good so I'll definitely check this one out.

nope......looks too modern goofy/immature and dumbed down with no edge, character designs look potato-fied

this wont hold a candle to the og's they are way more darker and serious

ghost in the shell does not need a remake

Honestly this has been a really solid anime year, however, I know this entry is going to be my AOTY, already. I love GITS, I love Shirow's other works, and generally prefer his tone of writing, even though I do still like the 95 film. The art design is so freaking nice.

Edit: add also the fetish for anime girls with Red Eyes. My own animated life Partner Uta Sakura from Kimi To Idol in her civilian form has red eyes, and so Megumin from Konosuba. Anime sold. Qualms or no qualms.

Ok, I remove my qualms about this iteration (or any other anime iteration of this franchise at this point, TBH) only because of my fetish for anime blue-haired girls and the last seconds. Finally somebody who is not afraid to show the good goods due to westerners and people with no interest in anime bitching for the sake of bitching (coff coff Dress-Up my Darling S2 coff coff). Thank my fetishes and neverending sexual hunger. I know, in the manga she's blue-haired too, but when I read it and bought its japanese copy I hadn't developed that fetish already @VivaceRex Oshii made only the movie, SAC was made by another studio entirely.

Ngl the trailer looks so fucking good. It nailed the 90s cel animation feel and I was quite blowned away, not to mention the characters look very lively compared to the stand alone complex one which is kind of dull tbh. Oshii just likes to butcher the characterization of the female characters especially like Makoto. In the trailer, she has a lot more character to her and that alone is already a huge plus.

Great trailer once again, I just hope the fanservice won't bother me that much

Looks like it's gonna be faithful to the manga this time, right down to Motoko being into chicks. I actually prefer Oshii's film but the manga is fantastic regardless so I'm psyched. Animation looks sick as hell too.

We still don't know who is going to voice Kusanagi. I think they are withholding this info from us deliberately.

Love the COLORS and the "cartoony" character designs.

And liking the jazz/orchestral music, it's good to see Kekkai Sensen in the composer line-up.
