Ghost in the Shell: Arise trailer

February 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The first trailer for the new Ghost in the Shell is out – although it falls under the YouTube category of “watch it before it’s yanked”. It’s hard to watch the trailer, consider the name and not conclude that Arise is a prequel. There’s no more debate as to whether Major Kusanagi looks the part […]
