Worldwide audience, does that mean worldwide or just America? I don't see how one show can appeal to many different countries, unless they just mean at home and in America.

I know nothing of "Xiamen Skyloong Media", but based on the name alone I'm going to assume that China is a big target market of the new project. So I seriously doubt "global" target only means America.

Not sure why people seem to think this is an entirely new premise, or that Japanese won't like it. "near-future world where the boundary between human being and AI is vague" sounds a lot a subplot in Ghost in the Shell and similar stories. Expanding that to other "materials" is slightly different but they'll be probably be humanized enough so that it won't matter.


Yup, I don't think the material sounds like it will have any trouble being popular if this is good both in and outside of Japan.

I assume it'll have somewhat younger characters than GITS but I hope it's a generally mature take on the content mentioned in the description and "war" since that's something that made Ghost in the Shell stand out nicely, and still does to this day.

Love that Tron-ish colored visual image.

I attended the Kawamori panel. He didn't have time to talk about this new series, just reveal the URL for the promotional site (which does have a message from him - in English! - with some additional information): http://www.project-the-next.com.
