Please no more CG

>>2
The CG in 2045 was too much

Is it a remake?

Is it based on the original work? Science SARU is Yuasa's studio, right? It's going to be a super complex anime

>>5
Yuasa is not there anymore

>>44
What!? I googled it and it's true. Who's making it then?

How is Science SARU doing lately?

>>38
Scott Pilgrim was good

I found another reason to live

The content is going to be difficult

2045 was trash. I didn't watch the second season

Thanks to Netflix making that trash imitation, the brand value dropped

Even if you say you hate CG, it's impossible to get the old quality with hand-drawn animation now

>>15
But the popular SAC series didn't have that great animation either

They are using the manga in the teaser visual and PV, so it seems to be based on the original work

Also, there will be an exhibition of Masamune Shirow's original drawings

SAC was the most interesting anime in my life. I have high hopes

If it's based on the original work, don't expect it to be like SAC

What about the cast?

Will it be like the Ghost in the Shell game on PS1? That would be fun too

Feels like they might change the voice actors

It's amazing how they depicted the Laughing Man in that era. They were prophets

If it's based on the original work, will they include Fuchikoma?

Talk about ARISE a little

>>42
ARISE was so-so, but the new movie was good

>>42
It was better than 2045

As they keep making new anime, reality is starting to look like the Ghost in the Shell era

Is it closer to the original work?

Considering the recent series have been mediocre, going back to the roots might not be a bad idea

The original work has its own unique atmosphere

The movie on PS1 is the closest to the original work

>>65
I really love Hiromi Tsuru's Major

If it's based on the original work, you'll go crazy without some outside explanations

Can you guys even understand volume 2 of the original work? No matter how many times I read it, my brain refuses to understand

Make something like Innocence

>>87
Stop, I'll fall asleep

>>129
Why?

Stop making it worse each time. Let Kamiyama make it again

>>124
2045 "Hey"

>>124
Face reality with 2045

>>124
No way, he's completely dried up. People often say 2045 was bad because of the CG or Netflix, but that's not the issue

Nothing will surpass SAC

Project: "Let's remake Ghost in the Shell!"
Wish: "Woohoo! It's here!!"
Reality: "Just stop already..."

In the first season, the most interesting story wasn't even about the Laughing Man, it was the Skinner case

>>182
The Chief's wine

If it's based on the original work, I might like it, but fans might leave

The word "live-action" hasn't been mentioned even once in this thread

>>187
I only remember Takeshi

>>187
Wasn't it Milla Jovovich? The only topic was whitewashing

>>199
It was Scarlett Johansson

>>187
That doesn't exist

>>187
Honestly, I don't get why it's so criticized. Isn't that what you'd expect from a Hollywood adaptation?

>>187
The content wasn't groundbreaking, so there's nothing much to talk about

Who's going to voice the female gorilla?

The Major's voice will probably be Aoi Yuuki

It seems like they're going to change the voice actors, but can't Atsuko Tanaka just do it?

>>205
In ARISE it was Maaya Sakamoto, so it might change again

>>205
If it's based on the original work, her character wouldn't fit

If it's based on the original work, no one will understand it and it will be R18

>>265
That's what I'm hoping for

Which Major do you like?

>>290
Original, PS1, Kamiyama

>>290
Even within Kamiyama's version, they look different

I'm a Ghost in the Shell virgin, where should I start? The anime?

>>271
SAC is fine

>>271
Appleseed

>>271
Ghost in the Shell (anime)

>>275,283,286
Are these all the same work?

>>295
Ghost in the Shell is the first anime movie, and SAC is the TV anime adaptation. They share the same setting but are like different timelines

>>309
Thanks for the easy explanation! 😊 I'll start with the first one 😊

>>318
Both are good, but make sure to look up some terms and settings beforehand, or you won't understand anything

I've never read the original Ghost in the Shell, should I? I like the atmosphere of Oshii's version, so I've been avoiding it

>>303
The setting is super interesting, but I don't know if it's enjoyable as a manga. I found it hard to read

>>303
There are only about two volumes, and they're not boring. If you have time, give it a read

>>303
Volume 1 is interesting. Volume 1.5 is understandable. Volume 2, even if you try to understand it seriously, your brain will refuse. It's fun to experience that feeling of complete incomprehension

>>312
>>320-321
Got it. There's a copy of Volume 1 at the local Book Off, so I'll buy it

Original work fans: very few
Ghost in the Shell fans: tired of new anime
New fans: impossible to attract

Who is this for...

>>379
It's easier to get anime projects approved if it has the name "Ghost in the Shell"...

Psycho-Pass is more popular than Ghost in the Shell now
