Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series) and Shinji Aramaki (APPLESEED series) will jointly direct, and the original cast of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, including Atsuko Tanaka, Akio Otsuka, and Koichi Yamadera, are all returning. An all-new story featuring dynamic cyberpunk action and Motoko Kusanagi and her team is about to be told.
The animation is by Production I.G and SOLA DIGITAL ARTS.
The Netflix original anime series Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 begins exclusive worldwide streaming on April 23, 2020.
It was stated that the new series will have two seasons of 12 episodes each, with every episode running 23 minutes.
The Story: In the year 2045, after an economic disaster known as the Synchronized Global Default, rapid developments in AI propelled the world to enter a state of “Sustainable War”. However, the public is not aware of the threat that AI has towards the human race.
Full-body cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi and her second-in-command Batou are former members of Public Security Section 9, who are now hired mercenaries traveling hot devastated American west coast. This land is full of opportunity for the major and her team, they utilize their enhanced cyberbrains and combat skills from their time working in Section 9. However, things get complicated with the emergence of “post humans,” who have extreme intelligence and physical powers. The members of Section 9 comeback together again in order to face this new threat.
Really hyped for this! (even if it's in CGI - any new GITS is great!)
