This animation franchise needs no introduction and it's production company 'Production I.G' announced last month there was going to be new Ghost In The Shell projects. That was a few weeks ago we had very few details but thankfully tonight we have some more details but even better we have the first trailer for Ghost In The Shell: Arise.
The new project will be a four part series with each episode lasting 50 minutes with the firs episode appearing in Japanese cinemas this Summer on 22nd June. The other episodes dates have not been confirmed yet the first part will be available to buy in Japan on Blu-Ray from 26th July, it's expected when Ghost In The Shell: Arise does arrive in UK it will come in the shape of a single home release a date we dont know just yet but dont be surprised if its 2014.
As for actual story all we know is this will be a prequel featuring Motoko when she was younger, Maaya Sakamoto will voice Motoko and she was the voice of the little girl who spoke the final line in 1995 first movie.
