Mokochan is directing, and Tō Enjō Shuhei Handa will handle character design and overall animation supervision .

However, this new adaptation promises to bring a modern and bold approach to the universe of Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9, delving even deeper into the dilemmas between humanity and technology.

Character design and animation direction are the responsibility of Shuhei Handa , who has worked on series such as Spriggan , Little Witch Academia , and Scott Pilgrim .

Production IG released the Ghost films in 1995, followed by the sequel 'Innocence' in 2004, as well as the anime series Stand Alone Complex in 2002. In 2013, new OVA prequel Ghost in the Shell: Arise was released. Then, in April 2017, the series received a live-action adaptation starring Scarlett Johansson.

Finally, a special comment from Masamune Shirow himself promised further updates soon on social media and the official global website .
