"A New Era of Cyberpunk Action": Bandai Namco Shows New Trailer for "Ghost in the Shell" Anime

Less than a month remains until the premiere of the new adaptation of Masamune Shirow's cult cyberpunk manga.

Bandai Namco Film Works has released a new trailer for the "Ghost in the Shell" anime. In the video, viewers are promised "a new era of cyberpunk action" and introduced to the ending theme "Blue" by MILLENNIUM PARADE. Canadian-Japanese singer Sai Gray and Grammy winner Daniel Caesar also worked on the track. Previously, MILLENNIUM PARADE participated in creating the opening theme for "Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045".

Science SARU, known for "Dandadan" and "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off," is responsible for the production. The director is Toma Kimura, also known by the pseudonym Moko-chan. He previously worked as an assistant director on "Dandadan." To Enjo ("Godzilla Singular Point") is responsible for the script and series composition, and Shuhei Handa designed the characters.

The anime premieres on July 7 and will be officially released on Kinopoisk as an ongoing series. Some viewers will be able to see the first episodes earlier: on July 4, the first two episodes will be shown at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles.

An early screening has also been prepared for Russian fans of "Ghost in the Shell." On June 25, the first two episodes of the new adaptation will be released in cinemas across the country – almost two weeks before the world premiere. NDA Studio, founded by voice actor Alexander Gavrilin, is responsible for the Russian dubbing.
