Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 (April 2020)
Best Upcoming Spring Anime 2020
The year is 2045, and the world still suffers the fallout from a cataclysmic set of events brought upon by the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
Covert operating units have begun conducting secret cybernetic operations, relying on the use of mercenaries and underhanded tactics to siege an advantage in the “Sustainable War.”
As mercs-for-hire, Cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi and her subordinate, Bato, are sucked into the middle of this conflict in order to survive. Despite their skill, they find that the extreme intelligence and physical powers of the post-human threat they face may be too much.
While that description is about as Cyber-punk as you can get, it’ll be interesting to see if it can execute on the promised concepts. As long as Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 sticks to the source material its drawing inspiration from, it’ll at least have shot.
