According to the UK's leading meccha expert, Ollie Barder at Forbes, studio Science Saru is making a new Ghost in the Shell anime adaptation. The hope shared by many is that the new series will be faithful to the original manga, something that has been contentious (to varying degrees) on the IP's many animated and live-action attempts in the past.
Science Saru was founded in 2013 by producer Eunyoung Choi and director Masaaki Yuasa, who had worked together on various projects over the years. They made their mark using a combination of hand drawn and digital animation to create striking works, initially creating a guest episode for series Adventure Time, they have since created four feature films (including critically acclaimed award winners. Lu Over the Wall and The Night is Short Walk on Girl) and five animated series, including The Heike Story, Yurei Deco and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken.
The trailer released for the series, due in 2026, showcases animated panels from the original manga, so here's hoping for a more faithful adaptation that those that have come before.
Ross founded the UK Anime Network waaay back in 1995 and works in and around the anime world in his spare time. You can read his more personal articles on UKA's sister site, The Anime Independent.
