Next spring, the new series Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 is coming to Netflix. The show is in full-3D animation, which is a first for the series.
There is a range of reactions, but for the most part, many are either lukewarm or put off entirely.
Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) and Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) are directing, while Production I.G and Sola Digital Arts are bringing the show to life.
I think is causing the negative reaction is the painterly concept art (below) that Netflix revealed last December.
Because of this, I think fans have been taken even more aback by the trailer’s visual style.
Here are some of the reactions:
God, why does a trailer for new Ghost In The Shell looks like it’s a cutscene from a mobile game? 😬 pic.twitter.com/NITFiYRh1X

This feels like a weird complaint, but Major looks TOO CUTE in Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045.

It’s still a teaser but Netflix love to fuck up good anime to make it worse idk Ghost in the shell is a dark sci-fi with something deep and we got a children show alike lmao fml (btw not a big fan of her design…) https://t.co/xPIivwZXvG

Like anything, it might take some getting used to, and more importantly, hopefully, the CG quality will improve when the show airs next autumn.
