Teaser Trailer For Netflix's GHOST IN THE SHELL: SAC_2045 Season 2
Netflix recently released a new teaser trailer for the second season of its anime series Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. The series is set in the year 2045, and “after global capitalism has defaulted, Japan's elite Section 9 begins conducting covert cyber operations.”
I was actually looking forward to watching this series because I’m a fan of the Ghost in the Shell franchise. But the first season really didn’t grab me. I actually found the story pretty dull. There were a few interesting plot points, but nothing that completely won me over. I imagine this second season won’t be any better.
Netflix shared the following information for the anime series:
Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki bring a vision of the future in 2045 to the landmark near-future science fiction franchise "Ghost in the Shell." Fully prosthetic cyborg Motoko Kusanagi leads Public Security Section 9 as they once again take on cyberbrain crime. The highly anticipated second season streams worldwide from May, only on Netflix!
The voice cast includes Atsuko Tanaka as Motoko Kusanagi, Akio Otsuka as Batou, Kōichi Yamadera as Togusa, Yutaka Nakano as Ishikawa, Toru Ohkawa as Saito, Takashi Onozuka as Pazu, Tarô Yamaguchi as Borma, Sakiko Tamagawa as Tachikoma, Megumi Han as Purin Ezaki, Kenjiro Tsuda as Standard, Kaiji Soze as John Smith, Megumi Hayashibara as Takashi Shimamura, and Shigeo Kiyama as Kurisu Ōtomo Teito.
The series' second season is again directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Eden of the East, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) and Shinji Aramaki at Production I.G and Sola Digital Arts. The original Ghost in the Shell manga was created by Masamune Shirow. The character designs are from Ilya Kuvshinov, with music from Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi. Series writers include Kamiyama, Ryou Higaki, Kurasumi Sunayama, Harumi Doki,, Dai Sato, and Daisuke Daitō.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 will premiere in May on Netflix. What did you think of the first season and are you excited about Season 2?
