I'm hyped. Saw this a few days ago.

The first OVA came out not to long ago. It was a pretty good start to what I hope gets increasingly better. I liked some of the news designs and some of them were a little lacking. Overall it was enjoyable.

Oh shit son... New characters and plot overall, or are characters like the Major and co. still around?

Re: Ghost in the Shell: ARISE
 

it's a prequel, an origins story of how major came to join section 9

although, since it's by a different director, it is also basically in an alternate universe

2 movies (original, shell) -> motoko gets assimilated into the net (w/ 2501)
S.A.C series + S.S.S -> instead of 2501 we have the laughing man, the puppeteer does appear in S.S.S. though (although in a different sense)
arise -> prequel story, some things don't line up with the S.A.C series

Re: Ghost in the Shell: ARISE
 

I should probably watch the original of this show and give it a shot. Sounds really interesting.

If I recall correctly the explanation of how she became full cyborg in the original series was different. She lost her body when she was a kid alongside some other boy or something. There was that whole thing about folding cranes with her wonky new hands..

In arise they claim she was cyberized right out of her mothers womb. I don't think it will be able to say this is a true prequel to the series.
