In a world full of reboots and remakes, I’m going to go out on a limb here and admit this new reboot of ‘The Ghost In The Shell’ (2026), by Science SARU (Dandadan), has got my attention. Check out the full trailer.
What do you think?
The animation looks fantastic. It feels old school with some nice modern flair. Very fluid. There also looks to be a more humorous, light styling to the entire affair which, from what I’ve read, is more in line with the original manga.
On that same note, this is apparently the first time there has actually been an attempt at a faithful anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s original 1989 manga. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve had volume 1 on my TBR pile for a good decade or two. Shameful, I know.
On another personal note, I usually watch subtitled anime in Japanese, but I’ve always been partial the English dub for the original movies and Stand Alone Complex. I wonder if they will use the same voice actors in this new series? Man, I hope so.
The new ‘The Ghost in the Shell’ looks to start airing July 7.
