About Season 1
Plot
Details of season 2 have not yet been disclosed. But with a high degree of probability, we can assume that events will develop in the spirit of the first 12 episodes. After the next global apocalypse, the Earth was involved in the so-called Stable War. In practice, this means the deliberate incitement of armed conflicts in less developed countries and thereby ensuring the economic stability of the states of the Big Four.
As a result of this state of affairs, some specialists from the former Ninth Division, under the leadership of Major Motoko Kusanagi, became mercenaries. After all, the ability to shoot and kill is highly valued during any military campaign. Moreover, the brave heroine and her partners will have to fight with an unprecedented creature that surpasses the most powerful cyborgs in all respects.
Production and shooting
Since the release of the 2nd season was announced even before the release of the 1st part, then, most likely, the same team is engaged in the production of the sequel.
The first 12 episodes were directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Ultraman, Guardian of the Holy Spirit, Eastern Eden) and Shinji Aramaki (Fullmetal Alchemist, Space Pirate Harlock, Project Alpha).
The film crew of the premiere part looked like this:
- Screenplay: Kenji Kamiyama, Masamune Shiro ("Ghost in the Shell", "Apple Seed", "Pandora in a Crimson Shell");
