What happened so far in Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. _ 2045 Season 1
Netflix acquired ghost In the shell S.A.C._2045 to have the worldwide streaming rights; it was still, however, made by Studio Production I.G. and Studio Sola Digital Arts.
This futuristic anime goes back all the way to 2045. The world is in a state of war with the top 4 nations going head to head in a ‘sustainable war,’ each nation fighting to stay alive; this war was caused by the economic disaster known as the Simultaneous Global Default, which destroyed the value of all form of paper and electronic currency. Terrorists move around in the cities and open areas, causing havoc and destruction, stealing, plundering, and believing that they are part of the ‘sustainable war.’ People have mortgaged their organs and body parts in place of cyborg implants, all of which are hackable.
A year later, after the default, we see former detective Motoko and Batou fighting these rebels and bandits in Southern California. Now part of a private military company, the two get more privilege and power than the other nations, but side by side, they have their fair share of problems that they must fight against.
What is going on with Studio Production I.g and Studio Sola Digital Arts
Studio production I.G has been in the anime business for quite a long time and has released many record-breaking animes that have won the hearts of fans worldwide. They have been in charge of almost all of the Ghost In The Shell series and movies from the beginning. Currently, they are working on the movie for Ghost In The Shell and, after that, most possibly Season 2 of Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C._2045.
Studio Sola Digital Arts use CGI-based design and animation to make their animes; their work of art is Starship Troopers: Invasion 2012, Ghost in the shell S.A.C._2045, Ultraman, and Blade Runner Black Lotus 2021.
What do we know about Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C._2045 Season 2 so far?
During production, Ghost in the Shell was decided to have 2 seasons, the first season was released on April 23, 2020, and the 2nd season’s release date is yet to be announced. Studio Production I.G will be in charge of both seasons with the original writer, Kenji Kamaya. Rumors are before the release of the 2nd season, and there will be a movie about Ghost in The Shell.
What are fans saying about Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C._2045 Season 2
Every anime fan has one thing to say after seeing Netflix’s latest anime series, “What Was That?” Ghost in the shell S.A.C._2045 premiered on Netflix on April 23, 2020, and it gave the whole series a childish vibe with its 3D graphics. The characters looked unreal. The graphics were plain and not interesting and gave the whole series a non-anime look. The response was so bad the show only got 17% critic ratings on rotten tomatoes.
Season 2 will hopefully be a lot better than Season 1, with a more realistic anime art style and production. Some fans did love the anime and gave it a 10/10 for animation and story. Fans wish for a change in animation to bring back the old style of animation that was present in the previous series and movies, and hopefully, we will get to see a change soon.
Will there be Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C._2045 Season 2?
The second season will pick up from where they left in season 1. The storyline will most probably continue with the cyborg mercenaries ‘Ghosts’, who are made to suppress the cyber threats that are frequently emerging. Towards the end of the season, we saw Togusa find an old program that awakens old memories while studying Takashi’s code. Togusa and Batou went to an old village in Kyoto, where Takashi briefly stayed with his uncle, hoping to find more clues about the Posthuman Think Pol developer. Upon arriving in the village, Togusa begins seeing some of Takashi’s memories. At the end of the memories, Takashi offers Togusa a spot in the truck. Batou then lost sight of Togusa.
Google Trends shows an uncertain trend, maybe because of the show’s bad animation, because of which it received a lot of critics. Season 2 will continue from there, and hopefully, we pray that the animation is a lot better than in Season 1.
When will Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C._2045 Season 2 be released?
Rumors have it that Season 2 will be released sometime in 2021 or 2022. The studio announced a Movie of Ghost In The Shell before they released the second season. We are still in the blue about the release date as productions have been behind closed curtains, but it is confirmed that Season 2 will be released as the studio announced during season 1 that it will be getting a 2nd season.
What can we expect in Season 2 of Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C._2045
We can expect the continuation of the anime where they left it off on a cliffhanger in Season 1 with Takashi offering Togusa a spot in the truck as they were leaving the village, and later Batou losing sight of Togusa, we are still in the dark if Togusa left with Takashi or not. The anime will continue and hopefully will receive a better animation and production than the recent one.
Ghost in the shell, an otaku favorite since the 19’s, got massive criticism for the Netflix adaptation in Season 1, but we all pray to God this won’t be the case in Season 2.
