Togusa looks like a cat boy and Borma looks like he belongs in a Ghibli film lol.

The style is based on the Manga.

Just to offer a style reference for folks

Is this real?

Everything since the manga have been based on it?

While this Motoko looks very similar, some of the other characters in this version are the furthest from the original IMO.

I'm referring to the art-style specifically. Designs have changed, but the style sticks with the era.

Arcka@midwest.social · 1 pts · 74d

Agreed! However, I took the comment above yours to be referring to design.

I really appreciate the simplicity in the costume designs. In the current age, these outfits would have random and unnecessary lines and greebles all over.

Wait so they're making a new adaptation or what?

MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 75d

Yes.

Ahh, another one for the Smurfette collection

And I was about to start SAC.

boywar3@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 74d

You absolutely should! The Ghost in the Shell franchise(?) is best understood as a bunch of "similar universes." SAC is one of several (and arguably the best imo).

Still excited for this adaptation though - more GitS is always good!
