Exclusive First Look at Production Materials from The Ghost in the Shell
It is a shame that it is impossible to cover every work in detail, but the venue also features dedicated areas for Innocence, Ghost in the Shell S.A.C 2nd GIG, Ghost in the Shell STAND ALONE COMPLEX Solid State Society, Ghost in the Shell ARISE, Ghost in the Shell The New Movie, and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2045. And even more surprisingly…
Even more remarkably, the exhibition includes production materials from the brand new series The Ghost in the Shell, scheduled to air in July 2026 and not yet publicly released during the exhibition period. Produced by Science SARU*, these materials are being shown ahead of broadcast, something that is said to be extremely rare.
This display speaks volumes about the exhibition’s clear commitment to covering every animated iteration of Ghost in the Shell. It is a section well worth paying close attention to.
At the conclusion of the AR goggle guide “Cyberbrain Vision,” one of the series’ most iconic moments is recreated through AR technology: the protagonist diving into the nighttime cityscape alongside the line “The net is vast and infinite.” Even during the press preview, the effect was powerful enough to stir genuine emotion, but it feels like an experience that would be even more spine tingling at night.
That is because after sunset, the roll screens on the windows of TOKYO NODE on the 45th floor are raised, revealing the real Tokyo night skyline as part of the exhibition’s backdrop. Details can be found on the exhibition’s official website, but as a rule the venue stays open until 9 pm on most days except Tuesdays and Fridays. Visiting in the evening, deliberately timed for nightfall, comes highly recommended.
