I found a trailer for the new "Ghost in the Shell" film: YouTube link There is also a website: kokaku-a.com I loved the two series of "Ghost" that came out a few years back. This one looks promising. Ron |

Seconded! All hail the Major! 'Details of when Arise will appear in the West have not yet been revealed, but in Japan the new series will be launched as four 50-minute parts. The first of those will be available to watch in movie theaters from June 22.' On the other hand, it's a prequel….. |

Anime delende est. But to each his own. |

Anime must be destroyed!  Nice use of the Latin. And as you say each to his own. Personally I enjoy and appreciate it and is like any other genre art form, it has its masters and then there is all the hacks. |

I really enjoyed GitS as well, looking forward to this. As an aside, I was at the local B&N browsing where I overheard a pink-haired teen-aged girl slagging off on GitS. I wanted to yell "Noooo!" and slap her… :) damon. |

Not only is it a prequel, it also doesn't have Mamoru Oshii directing, and I can't detect any storyline lifts from the manga (as all movies and TV series keep retreading the same storylines from the manga over and over- stop doing the puppetmaster! ) I hope this will work out. |

Yay!!! Crossing my fingers that its as good as its predecessors. GitS is one of my favorite anime movies and series, and favorite SciFi generally. |

Is this related to the movies or the series? |

Anime delende est. But to each his own. I think I'd like anime better if it weren't for the preponderance of crappy, jerky animation. I know the "japanimation" process and style is cheaper, but I find it very unpleasant to watch. YMMV. |

But… She is wearing pants!? The Major rarely wears pants. |

I'm watching ARISE on Netflix and enjoying it immensely, though Ep2 crams a lot of stuff in 50 minutes and hard to keep up w/reading subtitles. I miss the old American voices, but the Japanese ones are pleasant enough. Good plot lines so far, especially #1 |
