April 17th puts Ghost in the Shell’s release just one week after another movie that has its roots in anime and Japanese pop-culture—Guillermo del Toro’s tentatively titled Pacific Rim 2.
Meanwhile, in Japan, the Ghost in the Shell franchise is still in the midst of celebrating its 25th anniversary. A new animated movie is scheduled to premiere in Japan this Spring, while last year’s Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs are being adapted into a TV anime.
Finally, on the videogame front, Nexon are currently working on a Ghost in the Shell online shooter, which is set in the Stand Alone Complex universe. You can learn more about it here.
