Now…?
Enjo Tō, huh…
It seemed like it should exist, but it didn’t.
I’m looking forward to it because I love production companies and screenplays.
So far, this has only been around the PS version, right?
It’s amazing content that after 40 years, an anime finally comes out that’s faithful to the original manga…
I wonder if the personality will be closer to the original work.
It’s the first time I’ve seen Ghost in the Shell animated properly in Shiromasa’s art style.
A special report has arrived.
It’s definitely a monkey old man…
You all kept saying that the original work had a much lighter atmosphere!
Starting today, the original art exhibition of Shiromasa begins, and at the end of this month, a new release in the erotic art collection series will come out, so the Shiromasa community is experiencing its biggest excitement in years!
It feels too much like the present, so it’s more convincing to say that the year 2026 is the in-story date.
Are you okay?
Isn’t it super trendy?
Shiromasa is really enjoying life…
The PS1 movie is also good.
“It’s nice that it has become ‘THE’ GHOST IN THE SHELL…”
I feel a sense of crisis that I’ll turn Enjo Toh into an anime!
I wonder who will replace Acchan?
Since the character’s personality changes, I want the voice actor to have a strong feel that’s close to the original work.
It feels like the anime has reached a point where it’s unsure what to do next, so maybe starting over might not be a bad idea.
Who is Moko-chan?
I see, Acchan isn’t here anymore…
Sad…
Is it a TV series?
It’s a voice like a gal, right?
Moko-chan!?
A return to the origin.
Could it be a complete change of voice actors?
Fuchikoma is fine as it is.
Both the first and second generations have passed away.
I don’t know if this works as it is, but if it does, that’s amazing.
Maybe it would be better to replace everyone altogether.
I hope Nene and Clarion make an appearance, even if just for a moment.
It’s fine to gather young and mid-career voice actors.
It’s hard to express in a word, but I hope it maintains a cynical comedy atmosphere.
Reiwa is super trendy and hot!
It definitely captured that… my daughter… in the original work, it has a really light vibe, you know?
Moko-chan is a director from SARU, and this is their first time directing.
The image of Enjo-tō is that the ending becomes a mess.
The original work’s simulation experience seems unlikely to lead to social reintegration, compared to the atmosphere of the movie.
It’s a lightness similar to bouncing back after being hit in a gag manga…
The animation supervisor is from Trigger, so it really seems like it’s going to be super trendy…
Godzilla SP was interesting…
The PS1 version featured an incredible scene in the opening where Fuchikoma was stepping on the carpet and flailing around…
Can that prosthetic arm be used in anime?!
If possible, I would like to include episodes and settings disclosed with the red shell as well.
That was essentially playing the role of Episode 0 of Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed.
But it seems like there are a lot of GAIJIN whose brains were fried by the first movie, so I wonder how it will be considering the overseas expansion?
Doing it with this artwork is actually pretty good.
I like the tough and resilient people of the townsfolk, original version.
I wasn’t a fan of the sticky Batou who was always influenced by Oshii’s movies, so I’m looking forward to the anime in the original style.
Are you going to make it more comedic?
I’ve always felt that anime has a bit of a different vibe, so I hope it turns out well.
I wonder what episode it is.
What are we going to do about the voice actors…?
I want to see Batou who I trust as a major but I don’t like at all.
There is a strong trust in Major Batou, but a relatively casual sense of distance.
It seems like the original work style… The PS cast is almost entirely wiped out, but I wonder what will happen to the voice actors.
I feel like I want to listen a bit to the cheerful Otsuka Bato.
Honestly, I’m really happy.
The comment from Shiromasa has also arrived.
“Did ‘Create the Future’ ever have audio?”
If you’re going to trace the original episode, I want to hear it here.
I like the feeling that even though I’ve been through difficult times, life goes on regardless.
A midsummer night’s!?
Both the original version and Oshii’s version have voice actors who are deceased…
Enjou Tou manages to be an incredibly ordinary action drama up until a point, but the ending is just hard to understand.
I’m happy to see Fuchikoma properly…
I wish Ms. Hiromi Tsuru were still alive to perform again…
If you directly involve something like Shiromasa Black Magic or the PS version OP or anime, the visuals will be amazing, but I’m really fed up with all that.
Will Batou no longer be a menhera?
1.5 was a bit off.
I wonder if Paz and Boma will have fewer lines but more appearances.
The cleaning staff mentioned above has a fundamentally dry aspect, doesn’t it, Shiromasa?
When you think about it calmly, the surface-level name “International Rescue Team of Offensive Organization” is way too intense.
I wonder if they’re really going to go up to volume 2?
Can you see the moving Decot Clairis?
I wish they would change the entire cast.
It seems like they might do a story up to 2 in the case of Tō Enjō.
This will serve as a stepping stone for the conclusion of the Ayanokoji anime.
The Ghost in the Shell anthology by Toh EnJoe was incredibly interesting, so I have high expectations.
I feel like I won’t be able to keep up with the content even if I get through volume 2.
If Toh Enjo were to do it, even if the characters are based on the original work, it seems like it would turn into something completely different.
Is it serious SF like the anthology Shadow.net?
The demons and spirits of the internet kept saying to do it based on the original content, but when it actually happens, there’s something to hold back on.
For now, Enjou Toh wrote a short story in the anthology, and it was quite true to the original, so it should be fine.
The episode about the puppeteer was so comical that it didn’t feel like the last episode at all in the manga.
The PS1 game had Hiromi Tsuru fit the original version of Major perfectly.
Isn’t it about time to change the story?
There’s probably nothing more to say now that it’s been thoroughly discussed.
Tō Enjō does a great job of incorporating solid entertainment into hardcore sci-fi, like in Cyborg 009 and Ghost in the Shell, so I hope the anime follows that vibe as well.
I’m happy that the character’s emotional expressions are in line with the original work.
Please make Orion into an anime!
Confronting a confusing original work with the incomprehensible style of Toh EnJoe!
I can’t help but be excited at the thought of finally getting to see some serious hard sci-fi.
I do like the heavy and sticky dog version, but I also want to see the original version that’s light and true to the source.
The erotic side is also connected to the worldview, and a new publication is coming out.
I came up with this! Saito is a scumbag who betrays for money, naps during meetings, and tries to kill targets for no reason!
The Ghost in the Shell anthology was such a masterpiece that it’s worth buying just to read Toh EnJoe’s story.
It seems like living a long life really pays off, as I can see a little gagged version of the original Ghost in the Shell.
Shiromasa loves girls with glasses, is a huge fan of anal, and is a super lewd person who also engages in pseudo-excretion, so I’m looking forward to the new art book.
The original work has a pop style that progresses with a gag-manga-like tone alongside its vast lore and settings.
From what I can see in the special report, it seems like they’re going to cover the first volume of the original work.
It seems that there is a short PV made for Orion, but I can’t find it anywhere on the internet.
Do I have no choice but to search through cyberization?
The scene where Batou gets stuck in the slimy stuff and goes “ugh” is spreading!
I feel like I wouldn’t be able to understand anything even if Orion’s lines were turned into audio!
Is 2.0 going to be animated too?
I think it falls into a category that needs reinterpretation, but I’m still curious about it.
But if they can do this manga, I think they can also do Orion.
Whether you can tell what I’m doing just by looking is another question.
If Tower Enjo updates the original Ghost in the Shell with the same density, it would likely become an incredibly hardcore cyberpunk.
The way SAC’s clarity is conveyed is really impressive, isn’t it?
No way!
It’s a line that seems like it should exist, but it doesn’t.
If possible, I want Shiromasa to come up with the ideas.
A work that foreigners will probably complicate in a strange direction is going to be completed.
Who is Moko-chan!?
What are you doing in the original style? Based on the manga?
It’s interesting how the character design and costumes are more in line with Shiromasa than ever before, while the painting has no greasy feeling at all.
I was curious that the preview music sounded like something from Olga, but could it be that Yoko Kanno is coming again…?
SAC is like Batman’s Dark Knight.
Just because that one was well-received doesn’t mean everything has to be like that…
Oh no, this PlayStation game is going to become a collectible!
If you’re bringing Enjo Tō, I want it to be a solid sci-fi without any homage to the original work.
This content is always repeating the same story.
Even with a new release, it feels like a rehash.
Enjo Toh is a type of sci-fi that is interesting but also a bit troublesome.
It would be amazing if there were an animated work with a touch of soft original colors that look like they were painted with watercolor.
The SF part seems to be quite well-made and reliable.
Since ARISE had a strong espionage color, will the next one lean more towards sci-fi?
The original work’s major is engaging in cyber lesbian sex.
I can’t imagine Oshii’s version of the Major engaging in cyber lesbian sex.
Major SAC seems too rigid to do that.
It’s kind of old-fashioned, isn’t it…?
The original work is 35 years old.
I tried to change it with Arise, but it failed.
It’s a modern arrangement, but it’s also the closest to the original.
Seeing Shiromasa’s gorilla again…
The voice coming from this face is neither Acchan nor Maaya…
In the original work, the female gorilla is quite an interesting woman, so I wonder who it will be.
The garbage collection guy’s turn seems to emphasize a light tone, which is different from Oshii!
I want to believe that with Science SARU, there won’t be a major accident…
If Tsuruhiro had not passed away…
Even if there is a plan, ORION that gets shelved would also be appreciated soon…
I hope that this will lead to progress on books and anime projects related to Shiromasa that haven’t been released yet…
I’m looking forward to this as well, but I really want to see ORION with a script by Toh EnJoe.
Let’s make it into a game one more time.
I want the voice to be like the ARISE version.
It would be sad if we just replaced Motoko with Atsuko Tanaka.
ORION looks absolutely interesting too.
The problem is that without the characters and furigana, the difficulty of understanding increases exponentially…
Original Creator Masamune Shirow Comment: Speaking strictly about anime works, this “Ghost in the Shell” is the fourth after Oshii’s version, Kamiyama’s version, and Kise’s version, or rather, separating “GHOST IN THE SHELL / Ghost in the Shell” and “Innocence,” this marks the tenth work in the project that divides the “S.A.C” series into seasons 1 and 2, SSS, the “ARISE” series, the “New Theatrical Version,” and the “SAC 2045” series into seasons 1 and 2. From the perspective of the change in production staff, it could also be viewed as the eleventh work of the second generation. Although the original manga is quite old, I hope you can forgive that (my apologies) and that this will also become a good visual work that you can enjoy in some form. ©2026 Shirow Masamune/KODANSHA/THE GHOST IN THE SHELL COMMITTEE
I’m happiest that the original author still seems lively.
Isn’t Shiromasa’s art better around Ghost in the Shell 1.5 than in the first one?
Actually, I feel that the art in Dominion and around 1.5 is really well done.
I became interested in it because of the anime, but which medium should I start with for this work?
For now, I guess it’s good to go from the original work → movie → anime series.
If Hiromi Tsuru were alive as a cyborg…
Then I will immediately advocate for the re-animation of GS Mikami…
I googled the director’s name, but it seems like it’s a first-timer for the main role.
Well, SAC is also a 20-year-old anime…
Is it the anime adaptation of the manga?
It’s extremely frank.
The characters in the manga version of Ghost in the Shell are all really smart, which is intimidating.
Pandora! Pandora!
I think you can experience the feeling of watching something incredible, even if you don’t fully understand Oshii’s version.
SARU is completely aimed at the overseas market, huh?
I want to see a large-scale crime that I’ve never seen before, just like in a manga!!
It seems that there are quite a few people who got into it through SAC and then got frustrated with the original work…
I want you to read the original work and then read Kōkaku no Pandora as it is…!
If possible, I want you to go straight to Apple Seed or Orion too!
