Ghost in the Shell Returns: Second Key Visual and PV Now Out
The wait is finally getting over for the fans of Masamune Shirow's iconic series. The official team has just released the second key visual and the second promotional video (PV) for the upcoming TV anime "Ghost in the Shell". This new project is creating quite a lot of buzz because it is based directly on the original work that started it all. If you are a fan of Public Security Section 9, this news is definitely something to cheer about.
This latest addition to the franchise is being seen as a fresh chapter in the long-standing the cyberpunk legacy. In the newly released visual, we can see the main protagonist, Motoko Kusanagi, looking as badass as ever in her full-body prosthetic cyborg form. Standing right beside her is Fuchikoma, the AI-equipped thinking tank that fans have always loved. This beautiful piece of art was drawn by Shuhei Handa, who is not just the character designer but also the chief animation director for this series. He has really captured that classic manga feel which many were hoping for.
