There is now a trailer for the new Ghost in the Shell prequel, Ghost in the Shell: Arise! Here it is:
Notably, protagonist Motoko Kusanagi has a new design as well as a new voice actress — Maaya Sakamoto, in lieu of the iconic Atsuko Tanaka. Arise will comprise four fifty-minute instalments, the first of which is due out in Japan in June. Sadly, Arise does not seem to be part of the Stand Alone Complex continuity. (It’s been almost nine months, and I still need to write that SAC retrospective!)
Further details around the Web, including at Siliconera and Anime News Network. Hat tip to sfsignal for alerting me to the trailer.
