Studio **Science Saru** has just released the first trailer for the new **Ghost in the Shell** anime, with a confirmed premiere for July 2026. The production arrives with the promise of being the most faithful adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s original manga, reviving the classic aesthetic that defined the cyberpunk genre in the 80s.
At just 35 seconds long, the teaser shows Major Motoko Kusanagi with her iconic blue-haired look, while also showcasing red Tachikoma tanks jumping across the buildings of New Port City. Meanwhile, the fluid animation and rainy atmosphere reinforce the dystopian tone that fans have expected from the franchise for decades. Due to the studio’s track record with hits like *Scott Pilgrim Takes Off*, expectations for the project are sky-high.
## Technical Specifications and Crew
– **Direction:** Toma Kimura (Devilman: Crybaby, Dan Da Dan)
– **Animation Direction and Character Design:** Shuuhei Handa (Kill la Kill, Darling in the FranXX, SSSS.Gridman)
– **Production Studio:** Science Saru
– **Original Work:** Masamune Shirow (1989)
Unlike the 1995 versions or *Stand Alone Complex*, this new anime focuses on a direct translation of the manga’s art and tone. Additionally, the technical team features major names in the industry, such as Shuuhei Handa in animation direction. Thus, the project positions itself as a prestige title to celebrate Shirow’s legacy, combining high-octane action with existential questions about identity and consciousness.
