One for the John Wick fans and what goes into getting a film made...

It looks like this is a trailer for a Ghost in the Shell anime series due to be released in 2026

It looks like the art is intended to be more based on the Manga. Wonder if it's supposed to be a more straight adaptation.

For anyone who missed it, they've also announced a new Edgerunner's season; https://screenrant.com/cyberpunk-edgerunners-anime-sequel-season-2-netflix/. The announcement implies its a revenge story.

It is. It's meant to be an almost direct lift, comedic major and all. Which is almost always lost in the other adaptations.

They've rebooted Ghost in the Shell almost as many times as a DC superhero

That said honestly I'd 100% welcome them doing a faithful adaptation of the Manga. It just feels right, even though the landmark original films set a tone that was insanely good and was followed several times before.


Be interesting to see if they change any of the voice actors too.

That’s exciting!

Eh, pretty high on the list of "Things the world doesn't need any more of, thank you very much" is "more Japanese anime".

Ahhh, But…..

Ghost In The Shell is an anime of such quality even I greatly enjoy it.

I’ve seen the original movie, and at least some of Stand Alone Complex like.

Or football matches, or soap operas, or nature documentaries…

As with all categories of entertainment media, it’s not strictly necessary and some of it is better than others. GitS is very high up in the list of Mamga worth revisiting. Especially if it brings along the original industrial design. Shirow’s stuff is just gorgeous.

You can be wrong, or you could be even more wrong. Take your pick.

Or the could be right, they could be even more right, or they can be the mostest rightest.

Meanwhile, i sit here and wonder if, once more, Fate/Strange Fake's release will be pushed back. I want to see the utterly ludicrous display of magic Richard the Lionsheart shooting laser beams from his sword. I don't care that it's stupid I wanna see it!

Feels like I'm in 'holding pattern' on most of the animes I actually want to see. JJK S3, Chainsaw Man, and Kagurabachi. For the last one I guess they're just waiting for Demon Slayer to be over to avoid directly competing with another 'dudes with magic swords' style show, but still.

Aside from Dandadan, Summer 25's anime lineup isn't really packing much I'm much interested in. All the good stuff was front loaded in the spring season.
