Here
are the first 8 minutes of the new Ghost in the Shell anime, Ghost in the
Shell: Arise directed by Kise Kazuchika (Blood: The Last Vampire, Dennou Coil,
Neon Genesis Evangelion and other Ghost in the Shell projects) and written by
Ubukata Tow (Mardock Scramble).
Ghost
in the Shell: Arise will be a four part series with each episode running for 50
minutes, in which the origin of Mokoto Kusanagi, aka The Major is revealed and
the reason why the Section 9 team came together is also explained.
The
story is “set in 2027, one year after the end of the fourth non-nuclear war.
Newport City is still reeling from the war's aftermath when it suffers a
bombing caused by a self-propelled mine. Then, a military officer implicated in
arms-dealing bribes is gunned down.”
“During
the investigation, Public Security Section 9’s Daisuke Aramaki encounters
Motoko Kusanagi, the cyborg wizard-level hacker assign to the military’s Secret
Unit 501. Batou, a man with the “eye that does not sleep,” suspects that
Kusanagi is the one behind the bombing. The Niihama Prefectural Police
detective Togusa is pursuing his own dual cases of the shooting death and a
prostitute’s murder. Motoko herself is being watched by Secret Unit 501’s head
Kurutsu and cyborg agents”
Ghost
in the Shell: Arise is also going to get a short theatrical release in June and
it’s schedule to be released in Japan on Blu-Ray and DVD on July 26th.
