And From The Original Production Company No Less!
Following the disastrous results brought about by, what many are considering a “white-washed”, live action film with very mixed reviews, Ghost In The Shell fans have some good news. Today saw the announcement that studio Production I.G. were taking the series back on, and will be putting out a new anime for the series.
Production I.G was a big part of the work done for the original 1995 Japanese film. They will also be teaming up with directors Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki for the new project. Kamiyama has done extensive work for the series in the past, and is especially known for work done on Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Kamiyama has stated in the past that he would like to return to the Ghost in the Shell universe, and explore some ideas.

Not much has been revealed in the way of trailers or a possible release date yet. But it is rumored that the new series is currently in production. However, it is not yet known if the anime will be available outside of Japan. But it is certain more information will make it out eventually, and hopefully it will help us to forget about the live action film.
