Next up from yesterdays Tokyo Anime Fair is a new show called RD Senno Chosashitsu being brought to us by the folks who gave us Ghost in the Shell - Masamune Shirow with Production IG.

image ID#19049

Set in 2061 where humans can share their thoughts through some sort of network. Peoples memories go missing and wot not which sounds very Ghost in the Shell - a good thing! Goes on air next month.
The trailer below which I took yesterday.

And this is Holon - an android who appears in RD Senno Chosashitsu.
Shes produced by Kokoro who are in the android business and you can see a bit of her in the clip above. Another one of Kokoro's androids below which you may have seen before.

Production IG (as well as Gainax) is my favourite animation studio. Love their work. Dont suppose they have any jobs going, eh?

I'd have to watch much of GiTS if I wanted to go for that one (Watched the first movie twice a while ago, some sparse episodes of First Gig and none of the second... The rest is unknown to me), but hey it darn is worth it.

The picture of Holon (below the video featuring her) quite creeped me out. She seems to be suffering from the "bulging peepers syndrome" or in other words seems to have the eyes (the upper ones) of a cow.
Perfect for Halloween. ^^;;

If you people can remember SAC when Motoko fought the armored suit and lost part of her arm, then she screams to Saito to bring down the heavy sniper rifle, the scream animation of her (mouth) is exactely the same as the guy that is screaming in the first video.

hope the anime will be an easy one to understand. I myself dont understand some parts of the GITS series, way too scientific but not so bad as ergo proxy
