Netflix’s upcoming 3DCG anime series Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 has dropped a brand new trailer, a new key visual, and a release window. Announced back in June 2019, GITS SAC_2045 will be helmed by the creative team behind the Netflix Original 3DCG Anime Ultraman.
Along with the official trailer (above), a new key visual was revealed from character designer Ilya Kuvshinov.
Plot Synopsis:
In the year 2045, after an economic disaster known as the Synchronized Global Default, rapid developments in AI propelled the world to enter a state of “Sustainable War”. However, the public is not aware of the threat that AI has towards the human race. Full-body cyborg Major Motoko Kusanagi and her second-in-command Batou are former members of Public Security Section 9, who are now hired mercenaries traveling hot devastated American west coast. This land is full of opportunity for the major and her team, they utilize their enhanced cyberbrains and combat skills from their time working in Section 9. However, things get complicated with the emergence of “posthumans,” who have extreme intelligence and physical powers. The members of Section 9 come back together again in order to face this new threat.
The above trailer gives us our first sound of the opening theme for the series, “Fly with me,” from the creative team millennium parade, who are credited as millennium parade x ghost in the shell: SAC_2045 for the theme. Daiki Tsuneta, who is part of millennium parade, commented that “the worldview we are trying to make with millennium parade was heavily influenced by Ghost in the Shell” so this song “which has such attachment and affection” makes him “very happy” to “play a part in Ghost in the Shell.”
