The newest TV anime series, THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, officially began broadcasting / Streaming today,

To coincide with the series premiere, the creditless versions of the opening and ending sequences have been officially released on YouTube!

The opening music features King Gnu’s brand new track, "GO GHOST," while the ending music is "Blue" by MILLENNIUM PARADE feat. Saya Gray, Daniel Caesar. This marks a historic first, as both King Gnu and MILLENNIUM PARADE—both spearheaded by Daiki Tsuneta—are providing a double tie-in for the exact same project.

The opening sequence is masterfully crafted to foreshadow the intense drama and the action-packed exploits of Public Security Section 9. Meanwhile, the ending sequence features captivating visuals that evoke the "history of technological evolution."

At "Anime Expo 2026," North America's largest anime convention currently being held in Los Angeles, USA, a special panel and North American premiere screening for this title, "THE GHOST IN THE SHELL × Science SARU: Special Panel & Premiere," was held on Saturday, July 4 (local time).

The event kicked off with a passionate introduction by MC Jackie Jing. At the very beginning, when it was announced that the opening theme for the series would be "GO GHOST," a brand-new song by King Gnu, an earth-shattering cheer erupted from the audience.

Keeping the excitement high, the premiere screening of Episodes 1 and 2 (English dub) began. The audience was instantly drawn into the new cyberpunk action brought to life by Science SARU's stunning animation.

With the post-screening excitement still lingering, a stellar lineup of staff members took the stage, including Mokochan (Director), Shuhei Handa (Character Design&Exective Animation Director), Shuhei Shindo (Animation Producer), Kengo Abe (Producer), and Takeshi Katsurada (Editor).

During the subsequent Q&A session, they shared plenty of exclusive behind-the-scenes production secrets, such as the stories behind the designs and their meticulous attention to detail in animation production. Furthermore, the English dub cast members—SUZIE YEUNG (as Motoko Kusanagi), BILL BUTTS (as Batou), NICK APOSTOLIDES (as Togusa), and TONY WEAVER, JR. (as Saito)—also joined the stage. The 80-minute event was a massive success, filled with enthusiastic interactions with North American fans.
