While I was hoping the recently announced new Ghost in the Shell
anime would involve more cyber-police work than existential
ennui, it turns out Arise will be a four-part prequel showing
the history which eventually led Motoko Kusanagi to become a
cyborg who fights crime while in her lingerie. I can dig that.
Each of the series' four parts will be approximately 50 minutes
long, and will be shown briefly in theaters in June before
heading to Japanese Blu-ray and DVDs on July 26th. The first
footage of Ghost in the Shell: Arise is above, and Anime News
Network very helpfully translated the Japanese, posted below:
The year 2027 Her name is Motoko Kusanagi. Attached to the 501st
Army Secret Unit. Heavily Cyborg Hope for the Future What proves
my existence? It all begins here.  "Heavily Cyborg Ego" would
make a pretty good band name.
