New Ghost In The Shell Anime Coming To Netflix

A new Ghost in the Shell anime is headed to Netflix by studios Production I.G. and SOLA Digital Arts.

Announced by Netflix, Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 will arrive in 2020 and will be co-directed by Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex's Kenji Kamiyama and Appleseed's Shinji Araki.

This project was announced in 2017, the same year as the Scarlett Johansson-led film that had a underwhelming debut at the domestic box office.



In our review for the Ghost in the Shell film, we said that "as an adaptation of an iconic and beloved source material, Ghost in the Shell understands what makes this franchise special and does a good job translating that to the big screen."

Ghost in the Shell began as a manga in 1989 written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. It has since been adapted into television series, video games, and movies, including 1995's Ghost in the Shell which made our list of top seven essential anime every fan should watch.

Not much else is known about this new anime, but to prepare for its release be sure to check out our Ghost in the Shell primer and list of eight things you didn't know about the popular anime.

I'd really like to see someone have the guts to actually adapt the Ghost in the Shell manga at some point instead of just continually calling back to the movie that's basically the actual start of the franchise. Be fun to see people react to the weird slapstick bits and the random lesbian sex scene.

That's all I've really got on this. Most I've ever really cared about Ghost in the Shell is I think SAC's opening credits are neat.

random lesbian sex scene.

I think you mean "LESBIAN ANDROID 3-WAY RACE TO ORGASM"

I'm up for this. Netflix seems to be letting their anime guys basically do whatever they want with no restrictions.
If they let a Dracula show turn into a science vs religion narrative somehow and a reboot of an old superhero show turns into a psychosexual horror trip that ends with the hero literally f***ing Satan to death, I'm psyched to find out what they're gonna do with Ghost in the Shell.
Even Godzilla which was the safest of their original anime managed to turn out more like Godzilla-flavoured Ender's Game, it was nowhere near as good as the other two but still pretty far out.
