I adore the style.

But that's mostly because it's literally just the style of the original manga...

I'll love it if they basically just do that, but well animated.

The PV is just a montage of manga panels... So I'm gonna assume the've barely started and that's all they could do, and that this isn't a House Husband style "moving comic" type deal.
- I wonder how people will react to that considering the difference in mood and atmosphere between manga and anime. I'd certainly like to give it a shot.
  
  I don't think GITS fans will complain.
  
  The movies, Arise, SAC, all have their slightly different tones and canons.
  
  It's the overall exploration of sci-fi concepts around machine intelligence, human consciousness, and technologically advanced society, that keeps the fans coming back.
This is exiting. I love the original movie and other installments. Base on PV, they are gonna adapt the original manga for this. From what I have seen from a small portion of the interview with the original director, the manga goes more complex than the anime. And Science SARU adapting, surprised it is not Production IG. Really looking forward to this. Hope this also brings that feeling of futuristic but not so-futuristic sci-fi world that the original movie brought with it.

For now, I will go and finish GITS:Arise.
always glad to see new Ghost in the Shell. I enjoyed 2045 even though lots of people didn't. It wasn't as smart or sophisticated as SAC, but I was able to enjoy it on a base level. Hopefully this is a return to form
I hope the audio mastering is better than SAC. I thought maybe it was just adult swim, but every source, including the DVDs has hella low dialogue audio that in many scenes is completely blown out by the music.
Does this mean 2045 is dead?

If the poster is meant to signal that they're making an Anime in the style of the PSX game cutscenes then SIGN ME UP!!
- The only adaptation with Fuchikomas. They could also remaster the game while they're at it.
  
  I was ready to ask you if you're sure since I could've sworn I saw them animated before somewhere, but you're right of course - what I saw are tachikomas, not fuchikomas (in Stand Alone Complex, if anyone is wondering)
  
  The team members are driving something new that resemble Fuchikomas at the end of 2nd Gig & in Solid State Society. But I think that was just an easter egg (that whole scene was visually lifted from the Manga).
