Welcome back,
This week, I’m going to take a break from writing reviews
and head back to the trailer park. Why? Because of this slick new trailer for
Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie.
If you’re somewhat familiar with the Ghost in the Shell
franchise, The New Movie is a continuation of Ghost in the Shell: Arise — a
five-part series that reimagines the 1995 feature film. More specifically, it
continues the plot that started with the fifth episode, Pyrophoric Cult.
If you’re unfamiliar with Ghost in the Shell, I’ve probably
already lost you. But if you’re still reading, hang in there! Ghost in the
Shell is probably my favorite anime franchise and definitely worth exploring.
Long story short, Ghost in the Shell began as a manga series
and was turned into a full-length film in 1995. It’s hard to put into words
just how incredible this film is — its vision of the future is deeply layered
and feels disturbingly real — despite being an anime. I would also count it as
one of my favorite science fiction films of all time.
If you enjoy adult animation or even just sophisticated
storytelling, Ghost in the Shell should be on your watch list. And I’ll be
looking to review The New Movie as soon as I can. I don’t have any hard facts
on where to catch it just yet, but TNM will be getting a limited release in
North America starting November 10th.
Until next time!
