GiTs SAC: Solid State Society

Well, since Gits SAC is my favorite series of all time, I hate to say it, but I'm absolutely disappointed in this announcement. While this is going to be a 100 minute movie (it seems), I can't help but wonder whether this is just beating a dead horse to death or not. Granted, 2nd GIG was alot better than the first season, in my opinion, but this just seems to be crossing the line again. The first and second season were compiled into two movied and released (titled The Laughing Man and Individual Eleven, respectively) which provided an extremely condensed version of events. This just makes me wonder what the heck they could possibly focus on after two consecutive attacks on the government. :/

Comments?

I totally have to agree with you. Don't get me wrong. I love GitS: SAC. I absolutely love it (though I haven't been watching 2nd GIG as much as I should). But this just seems like it may be too much.

According to Anime News Network as of March 21, 2006.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society, a full length movie based on Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex is currently planned for completion in the summer of 2006.

The production announcement does not specifically state release format, or date. The movie is being produced in Hi-Vision, a format used by Japanese broadcast networks to support wide-screen televisions. The same production team, including main staff, will be carried over from the TV series. The budget, while not specified, is said to be higher in order to achieve a cinematic level of production.

The 100-minute (tentative running time) movie takes place in 2034, two years after the refugee riot incident. A significantly larger Section 9, with over 20 new officers, investigates terrorist actions related to a wizard-like hacker “Kugutsu Mawashi.”

(Kugutsu Mawashi translated into English is roughly "Puppet Master." Kugutsu Mawashi is not the same as the "Puppet Master" from the first Ghost in the Shell Movie. In Japanese, the "Puppet Master" from the first movie was called "Ningyo Tsukai" which can also translated into "Puppet Master.")

The production committee will comprise Production I.G., along with Bandai Visual, Bandai Entertainment, Dentsu Corporation, Nihon TV Broadcasting (NTV), Manga Entertainment, Tokuma Publishing, and Victor Entertainment.

I, personally can't wait for this! ;)

This is going to be great!!:D :D

Fans shouldn't worry too much, the TV Show 24 has managed to created 5 world shaking terrorist incidents in 5 years, so the GITS team probably will be able to create a good story for the movie.

[dronedevil]

Hi all.
I have downloaded the raw-version of GITS SAC: SSS and now i'm waiting for subs. Do you know where i can get them?

[Gogatsu]

I like GITS S.A.C. S.S.S. opening song "Player" by origa. I can't wait for that to be released.

More GITS:SAC? All I can say is huzzah! That show has one of the good American dubs, and I love the storyline. I can't wait to see the movie.
