Overview
- Prime Video confirmed the series will stream exclusively on July 7, and Bandai Namco Filmworks will host a world premiere screening of the first two episodes at Anime Expo.
- Science SARU is producing the reboot with director Moko‑chan, writer Toh Enjoe, character designer and chief animation director Shuhei Handa, and composers Ryo Konishi and Yuki Kanesaka.
- Producers say they worked closely with Masamune Shirow during development, and the studio intends to lean into the original manga’s lighter, more playful tone rather than the darker philosophical approach of some prior adaptations.
- Promotional trailers have been released and the ending theme, titled “Blue,” is credited to MILLENNIUM PARADE feat. Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar as part of the marketing rollout.
- The series joins Prime Video’s expanding anime slate and could reach a wide global audience though reports that it will be available in more than 240 territories come from limited sourcing.
