We finally have an official release date of July 7, this year. I also found an article that says “The series will stream on Prime Video.” And I hope that’s accurate.

    I think the art could have been a nice change of pace. And orangutan Aramaki could have been funny. But just from the trailer I’m seeing a lot of fan service, so I’m guessing the full movie will be even worse. The other movies certainly didn’t shy away from it, but with a change in art style I was hoping for one adaptation that wasn’t pandering to horny folks.

      the of manga was horny as fuck. If anything I would expect this to tone it down considerably compared to the manga

      I totally get your point and I’m often taking the same position

      But, I think, in the context of GitS it’s actually a “4th wall body horror” rather than fan service.
      She’s a cyborg. IIRC in first anime there is a piece where she starts wondering how human she still is. But if she looks like a human, acts like a human, makes you react to her body like a human, is she still a robot? And in a wider take, the story of the antagonist also asks us where the line between a person and an object lies.
      It’s just that this question is not asked directly
