Ghost in the Shell is a cult classic manga drawn and written by Masamune Shirow that has been adapted many times. Both to anime and live-action as well as video games, it is a work that is considered seminal of Japanese cyberpunk. Although not according to its author. And now we have the most faithful adaptation to date, brought to us by Science SARU, creators of Dandadan and Devilman Crybaby, with the confirmation of its release date.

A classic animated by contemporary masters of anime

Focusing on Major Motoko Kusanagi, who leads Public Security Section 9, a counter-terrorism group specialized in technological crimes, the series promises to be the most faithful adaptation of the manga to date. This can be seen in a trailer with an art direction much closer to that of the original work, although with some peculiarities. It not only has the distinctive touch in animation from Science SARU but also a style similar to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the popular series that premiered in 2002. Combining the cartoon and retro style characteristic of the original work from the 90s with a more contemporary touch.

The series, which will be called Ghost in the Shell, like the original manga, will premiere on July 7 on Prime Video. With a global release already confirmed, that means we won’t have to wait to see the series: as it airs in Japan, we will be able to watch it in the rest of the world. And given the tremendous popularity of not only Ghost in The Shell but also Science SARU, it is expected that this will be one of the most talked-about series of the year.
