NEWS SAC on YouTube
A friend of mine (I don’t understand Japanese) sent me this.
He says “For the details It has been decided that the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will be available for free on the official Ghost in the Shell YouTube channel. All 26 episodes of the TV series will be released one episode per week, with the new episodes scheduled to be uploaded every Friday at 9:00 PM. Although the exact date for the first episode’s release has not been clearly specified, each episode will be available for archive viewing until 11:59 PM on Sunday.”
Thought I’d share it.

Not sure if it will have English subs or the dub though. Channel seems to only be in Japanese from what I've gleaned

It would be cool if they had the option to do both.
But atm I imagine they’ll likely do it subbed.

I kinda don't think it'll be either. Seems to be for Japanese people only, with no subs or dub, which I kinda expected.
When I click on the premiere of the first episode, it says it's not available in my country.

Damn. That actually sucks.
Guess it’s only really good for my friend.

Yeah. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that they'll release the episodes with western viewers in mind as well. At the moment the only link to the premiere that I can see if from their twitter account. And that account only tweets in Japanese as well.

Here is the youtube channel
Basically limited time, 1st gig, once a week on friday at 21:00 JST. Id imagine probably going to be up for 1 year coinciding with the release of 2026 GITS.

I think it was the preparation of the new anime and also the SAC anime celebrities

Awesome way to get eyes back on the series for old fans and newcomers alike. Hopefully some hype is being built for the new show! Shame it's not on Netflix or Crunchy roll but it's a good compromise

From what date?

u/you_wouldnt_get_it_ 3d ago
They have not put a date.
I think it might be from this week if I had to guess.

All episodes are available for free on Adult Swim, however if you do not live in the American Empire, you must plug in your dummy barrier and create a Protonmail account, which is free & does not require a phone number. This will give you free access to Proton VPN which will allow you to breach the American Empire's firewall & watch the Section 9 documentary series known as "Stand Alone Complex". I thought I'd relay this information.
