Science Saru’s The Ghost in the Shell receives first trailer and release date

With red tachikomas and a blue-haired Motoko Kusanagi, the 2026 The Ghost in the Shell anime’s first official trailer plays all the right notes. In just 35 seconds, we get a glimpse of characters and a taste of Masamune Shirow’s 1989 cyberpunk manga that suggests this new adaptation by Saru Science studio (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Dan Da Dan) is heading in the right direction. Finally, the trailer also confirms that The Ghost in the Shell will premiere in July 2026.
