Oh my god, read at this:
Production I.G has revealed in a stock disclosure that the upcoming Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society will be a 100 minute movie released in summer 2006. Anime News Network reports the movie is being produced in Hi-Vision, a format used by Japanese broadcast networks to support wide-screen televisions. The same production team, including main staff, will be carried over from the TV series. It takes place two years after the refugee riot incident. A significantly larger Section 9, with over 20 new officers, investigates terrorist actions related to a wizard-like hacker “Kugutsu Mawashi.â€

I have just finished to buy the first Stand Alone Complex season in DVD, and let me miss some other lunches and I will rich enough to be able to pay for all the second season ones too.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, trust me when I say you’re losing something fundamental in history of science-fiction-anime-cyberpunk-and-whatever for this millenium, because nothing is like Ghost In The Shell (and its many spin-offs and/or sequel).
It’s dreamy, it’s evocative, it’s science-fiction and philosphy mixed together at the highest level anyone could ever imagine… it’s just pure magic in the form of drawn art (to be right: written art, before…). Masamune Shirow is a genius, and there is no better way to understand that than to read to its manga, or to watch Ghost in The Shell.
If you like science fiction, this is a must everyone should see at least once in his/her lifetime, and right now, when everyone (including me) were thinking that with Innocence and Stand Alone Complex (1 & 2) everything had came to an end, *puff* another movie is about to be relased.
That’s going to be fantastic, trust me, we’re not going to be disappointed.
That’s exciting: from now on I am officially counting the days separating me from Solid State Society’s relase. ^___^
