I'm not the expert, but that's what everyone in this thread has been saying

All of the GITS creations are different continuations, they are not related except for some basic character templates. Hell even the first movie is not part of the original manga, but rather a shorten version of one the chapters of the manga.
Movie: Ghost in the shell, Ghost in the shell 2: Innocences are one continuation
TV: Ghost in the shell: SAC, SAC 2nd GiG, Solid State Society are also one continuation
Manga: Ghost in the shell, Ghost in the shell: Man Machine Interface are the original continuation
the novels:
"After a long good bye" is a prequel to Innoncences
"The lost memory", "white maze", "revenge of the cold machines" are side stories from the SAC universe.
and now this.

To be fair, they did do some super graphic enhancement with an homage to Blade Runner.
Now, if I hear "Ishikawa, create a GUI program in Visual Basic to track an ip address." It'd be the greatest/worst thing.
Fuchikoma/tachikoma looks pretty cool. I'm guessing its a fuchikoma or a new version seeing as this is set before section 9 and the Tachikoma AI was like 6 years old at that point?
The Majors look is growing on me. The general level of animation looks good. Ill have to get used to the faces lol

Are the Novels translated? Are they good?
They are translated. They're pretty quick reads. After the Long Goodbye is interesting. The other three read like weaker/shorter episodes of the SAC anime so YMMV on those. I enjoyed them for what they were and they're good if you need a GITS fix.
That's what I like about it. They are technically different universes, but they are so similar that you could almost interpret them as being the same universe except told from a different perspective.

Fist time seeing the trailers for this. Big fan of SAC, so while I'm disappointed it's not more in that universe, I still think this looks great! Can't wait to see it.

I was the one who made the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo comparison earlier in the thread and it looks like I was right. I'm kind of shocked that this isn't a full season order so I think they're trying to gauge interest. The designs of most of the characters are quite all right, but the Motoko reimagining is still terrible.
This is going to be a more focused take on the IP, but the truth of the matter is that some of SAC's best episodes were the stand alone episodes that had virtually zero to do with the overall story arc. They don't have that benefit with this version.

...I liked them music at least.
I dunno... from my experience, trying to appease long term fans is a gargantuan and ultimately pointless effort. They will find things to whine about. It's their hobby after all.
The staff on Arise consider CSI to be a foreign series with high quality writing, and that's a bar they wanted to try to match. Wow. I have no words.
Lol.
Ok. I mean I can't really hate them for doing this, if I did then I would have to hate most of America.
God those faces are awful. Sigh.

look at saito.
As an almost completely different side, has anyone read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro? The whole time I read it I thought it could be an awesome existential AI/robot anime. Just
and it would be perfect. Actually, I think that's what Eve no Jikan sort of already is.
Anyway, back to bitching about emo Kusanagi
replace the plot detail that they are clones with them being robots

nailed it.
Making of a Cyborg would be the obvious choice, and it wouldn't be wrong, but i also love: Puppetmaster.
Either way, it's Kenji Kawai and is whole work on the movie.

Really, I love all the transcendental songs. They do the best to shape the feel that GiTS has. It's funny watching shows that came after that try to do similar things like Darker than Black or Psychopass, which, outside of the core characters, feel completely lifeless due to a lack of really interesting musical work (DtB more so since that is a Yoko Kanno score). Even Aquarion, in all it's goofy high school antics, feels like a more well rounded universe due to an amazing score and really superb themes.
That being said, I want Yoko Kanno for this. I never don't want Yoko Kanno.

Ah, the first time I saw the Ghost in the Shell movie trailer...
I had never seen anything like that before.
I had never heard anything like that before.
This movie... was calling me.
I still hear its call each time I listen to Making of a Cyborg.

Holy crap, I didn't know that either
I would like to know this as well. If this is true, why not turn it into an OAV?
?????
How hard is it for you guys to read the OP?

Ugh, The Major's new design is so bland....Still going to watch it for comparisons though.

Bunch of new characters featured in the first episode are on the site now. Also, Logicoma = Miyuki Sawashiro. Lol.

Correction, most of the new designs look bland.

Wearing pants is bland now?
Considering most of the characters in the show are government, police, or military specialists, I don't see anything particularly "bland" about them. Hell, Ishikawa is even rocking some Tokyo urban ninja shit that's popular right now, which is sort of funny considering this is supposed to be a prequel. I guess he gets way into early 90s fashion as he ages?
But really, nobody besides Saito, the Major and Aramaki's smooshed face looks that different from their SAC iterations.

God I can't get over that design of The Major,
horrible.
horrible.
This iteration is so bland and it has nothing to do with wearing pants. Check this out:
