[Ghost in the Shell] The character design for the new Ghost in the Shell anime is really trendy and nice…

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Now…?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

Enjo Tō, huh…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seemed like it should exist, but it didn’t.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I’m looking forward to it because I love production companies and screenplays.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

So far, this has only been around the PS version, right?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx51

It’s amazing content that after 40 years, an anime finally comes out that’s faithful to the original manga…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the personality will be closer to the original work.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the first time I’ve seen Ghost in the Shell animated properly in Shiromasa’s art style.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

A special report has arrived.

It’s definitely a monkey old man…

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

You all kept saying that the original work had a much lighter atmosphere!

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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!

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It feels too much like the present, so it’s more convincing to say that the year 2026 is the in-story date.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you okay?

Isn’t it super trendy?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shiromasa is really enjoying life…

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

The PS1 movie is also good.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

“It’s nice that it has become ‘THE’ GHOST IN THE SHELL…”

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel a sense of crisis that I’ll turn Enjo Toh into an anime!

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder who will replace Acchan?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the character’s personality changes, I want the voice actor to have a strong feel that’s close to the original work.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is Moko-chan?

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx30

I see, Acchan isn’t here anymore…

Sad…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a TV series?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a voice like a gal, right?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Moko-chan!?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

A return to the origin.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be a complete change of voice actors?

Fuchikoma is fine as it is.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the first and second generations have passed away.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know if this works as it is, but if it does, that’s amazing.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Maybe it would be better to replace everyone altogether.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I hope Nene and Clarion make an appearance, even if just for a moment.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

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.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Reiwa is super trendy and hot!

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It definitely captured that… my daughter… in the original work, it has a really light vibe, you know?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Moko-chan is a director from SARU, and this is their first time directing.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The image of Enjo-tō is that the ending becomes a mess.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

The animation supervisor is from Trigger, so it really seems like it’s going to be super trendy…

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Godzilla SP was interesting…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The PS1 version featured an incredible scene in the opening where Fuchikoma was stepping on the carpet and flailing around…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can that prosthetic arm be used in anime?!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

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?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doing it with this artwork is actually pretty good.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like the tough and resilient people of the townsfolk, original version.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

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.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what episode it is.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

What are we going to do about the voice actors…?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see Batou who I trust as a major but I don’t like at all.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hero landing!

Hero landing!

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I wouldn’t say they’re completely carefree, but they have definitely recovered enough to reintegrate into society and can joke about it, like the sanitation worker in the manga.

The sensibility around that area is dry.

I wouldn't say they're completely carefree, but they have definitely recovered enough to reintegrate into society and can joke about it, like the sanitation worker in the manga. The sensibility around that area is dry.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a strong trust in Major Batou, but a relatively casual sense of distance.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Honestly, I’m really happy.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The comment from Shiromasa has also arrived.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Did ‘Create the Future’ ever have audio?”

If you’re going to trace the original episode, I want to hear it here.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the feeling that even though I’ve been through difficult times, life goes on regardless.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

A midsummer night’s!?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the original version and Oshii’s version have voice actors who are deceased…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Enjou Tou manages to be an incredibly ordinary action drama up until a point, but the ending is just hard to understand.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m happy to see Fuchikoma properly…

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I wish Ms. Hiromi Tsuru were still alive to perform again…

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

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.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will Batou no longer be a menhera?

1.5 was a bit off.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Paz and Boma will have fewer lines but more appearances.

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The cleaning staff mentioned above has a fundamentally dry aspect, doesn’t it, Shiromasa?

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When you think about it calmly, the surface-level name “International Rescue Team of Offensive Organization” is way too intense.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if they’re really going to go up to volume 2?

Can you see the moving Decot Clairis?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish they would change the entire cast.

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It seems like they might do a story up to 2 in the case of Tō Enjō.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

This will serve as a stepping stone for the conclusion of the Ayanokoji anime.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Ghost in the Shell anthology by Toh EnJoe was incredibly interesting, so I have high expectations.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I won’t be able to keep up with the content even if I get through volume 2.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

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?

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, Enjou Toh wrote a short story in the anthology, and it was quite true to the original, so it should be fine.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

The episode about the puppeteer was so comical that it didn’t feel like the last episode at all in the manga.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I want to see a hand-drawn animated Cyril lady moving smoothly.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The PS1 game had Hiromi Tsuru fit the original version of Major perfectly.

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t it about time to change the story?

There’s probably nothing more to say now that it’s been thoroughly discussed.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Please make Orion into an anime!

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

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.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

The erotic side is also connected to the worldview, and a new publication is coming out.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

I came up with this! Saito is a scumbag who betrays for money, naps during meetings, and tries to kill targets for no reason!

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Ghost in the Shell anthology was such a masterpiece that it’s worth buying just to read Toh EnJoe’s story.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

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.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original work has a pop style that progresses with a gag-manga-like tone alongside its vast lore and settings.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

From what I can see in the special report, it seems like they’re going to cover the first volume of the original work.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

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?

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

The scene where Batou gets stuck in the slimy stuff and goes “ugh” is spreading!

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I wouldn’t be able to understand anything even if Orion’s lines were turned into audio!

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Tower Enjo updates the original Ghost in the Shell with the same density, it would likely become an incredibly hardcore cyberpunk.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The way SAC’s clarity is conveyed is really impressive, isn’t it?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

A work that foreigners will probably complicate in a strange direction is going to be completed.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Who is Moko-chan!?

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

What are you doing in the original style? Based on the manga?

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

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…?

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

SAC is like Batman’s Dark Knight.

Just because that one was well-received doesn’t mean everything has to be like that…

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oh no, this PlayStation game is going to become a collectible!

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If you’re bringing Enjo Tō, I want it to be a solid sci-fi without any homage to the original work.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

This content is always repeating the same story.

Even with a new release, it feels like a rehash.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Enjo Toh is a type of sci-fi that is interesting but also a bit troublesome.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

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?

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

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.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s kind of old-fashioned, isn’t it…?

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original work is 35 years old.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

They’re selling cookies packaged with Ghost in the Shell at the exhibition venue…

They're selling cookies packaged with Ghost in the Shell at the exhibition venue...

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

I tried to change it with Arise, but it failed.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a modern arrangement, but it’s also the closest to the original.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seeing Shiromasa’s gorilla again…

The voice coming from this face is neither Acchan nor Maaya…

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the original work, the female gorilla is quite an interesting woman, so I wonder who it will be.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

The garbage collection guy’s turn seems to emphasize a light tone, which is different from Oshii!

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I want to believe that with Science SARU, there won’t be a major accident…

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Tsuruhiro had not passed away…

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if there is a plan, ORION that gets shelved would also be appreciated soon…

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope that this will lead to progress on books and anime projects related to Shiromasa that haven’t been released yet…

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m looking forward to this as well, but I really want to see ORION with a script by Toh EnJoe.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s make it into a game one more time.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want the voice to be like the ARISE version.

It would be sad if we just replaced Motoko with Atsuko Tanaka.

182: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

ORION looks absolutely interesting too.

The problem is that without the characters and furigana, the difficulty of understanding increases exponentially…

183: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I'm happiest that the original author still seems lively.

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.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

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.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Hiromi Tsuru were alive as a cyborg…

Then I will immediately advocate for the re-animation of GS Mikami…

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

I googled the director’s name, but it seems like it’s a first-timer for the main role.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, SAC is also a 20-year-old anime…

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it the anime adaptation of the manga?

It’s extremely frank.

197: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The characters in the manga version of Ghost in the Shell are all really smart, which is intimidating.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pandora! Pandora!

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think you can experience the feeling of watching something incredible, even if you don’t fully understand Oshii’s version.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

SARU is completely aimed at the overseas market, huh?

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see a large-scale crime that I’ve never seen before, just like in a manga!!

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that there are quite a few people who got into it through SAC and then got frustrated with the original work…

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

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!
