If this is a sequel to SAC I will lose my fucking mind. SAC is in my top 5 anime of all time.

 

[Foolworm]

And on a third, cyborg hand […]

In the SF community, the appropriate term is "the gripping hand".

Anyway, more GiTS is never a bad thing. If it's set in the SAC universe, so much the better.

 

[RangerBAD]

It sounds good to me. I wonder who is writing it. I'd like to see Dai Sato come back.

 

[Mexen]

Please recast Mary Elizabeth McGlynn this time for the dub.

This.

 

[awilliams213]

I would love to see a return to the SAC continuity. But if they decide to tell a story with the Major no complaints just no more origin stuff, Arise and the live action movie soured me on it.

 

[True Savior]

Kamiyama is back! The franchise needed good news. Just let Arise die.

 

[Gitaroo]

Please go back to the classic GITS, like the one from the manga even the PSX game.

 

[InfiniteBento]

this is their apology for the movie

 

[Blader]

Kamiyama!

3rd Gig, plz.

 

[Mesoian]

AS long as it's not more arise. Arise was so dull.

this is their apology for the movie

I would forgive them if true.

 

[zelas]

More SAC! Fuck Arise!

 

[Vimes]

I really do hope it's straight up more SAC instead of another reboot. Just finished re-watching 2nd Gig and the movie, and I think there's absolutely room to expand the universe further with 12 damn years past. Seeing how 2nd gig tackled the immigrant issue in light of what's happened over the last few years shows that Kamiyama's take on the franchise is more relevant than ever.

 

[Trago]

More SAC or something with similar direction please.

Love that shit.

 

[moustascheman]

I really hope this is a sequel to SAC. Kamiyama please don't let me down!

 

[Shy]

Just gonna echo what everyone in here is already saying.

Fuck Arise.

And i hope this is set in the S.A.C. continuity.

Wonder if the old gang is on board since they do the Japanese dub for the live action "movie"

God i hope so.

Broke my heart when i watched to the first episode of Arise *shudders* and didn't didn't hear any of any of the main cast, including Akio Ohtsuka (My favourite Japanese voice actor) as Batou

 

[SapphiCine]

It will be co-directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series) and Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed)

Good god. This will be the most boring and mediocre Ghost in the Shell adaptation.

 

[Giolon]

I think it's too much to hope for an SAC continuation.

 

[hateradio]

Stand Alone. Complex?

 

[Haly]

Stand Alone. Complex?

Stand Alone Complex.

 

[cntr]

I hope they keep SAC's English dub cast too.

 

[Team Alucard]

Stand Alone. Complex?

The series was named that way because there are oneshot episodes that are independent of each other ("Stand alone") and also episodes that are part of an arcing storyline ("complex").

 

[Krev]

Sequel to Innocence plz

Don't count on it. Oshii isn't going to make any more anime, and you don't want a sequel to Innocence touched by Aramaki.

 

[Hagi]

Hmm this is interesting but Kamiyama's 009 Cyborg stuff was really bad and Aramaki has never made anything I've liked so expectations are low. Wouldn't be surprised if it was CG.

 

[Krev]

Kamiyama's 009 movie was such a sad imitation of Oshii.

 

[Octavianus]

I can only hope it has nothing to do with either SAC or Arise.

 

[karasu]

Honest question, would the hardcore fans who refused to even see the new film have a problem with Scarlett doing the English dub? She actually is a good voice actress, all snark aside.

Not that I think they'd pony up the cash to do it, but I'd still be curious about the possibility.

Son. She is done with this property. There is no way she will allow herself to be dragged down even further.

 

[Finaika]

Kamiyama is a kami.

 

[theCalamity]

Not just Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, get the entire SAC cast back. They're Ghost in the Shell to me. Shit, Richard Epcar has been Batou since the first movie.

 

[Tom_Cody]

I can't wait.

 

[cntr]

SAC has an almost Bebop-tier dub. It's fantastic, yo.

Your mind will remain intact then. They said it's a new world and unrelated to SAC/Arise.
