Synopsis:

Ghost In The Shell returns with it's brand new incarnation, ARISE. A 4-part series. This release includes the first two Borders.

Border 1
In the year 2027, a year following the end of the non-nuclear World War IV, a bomb has gone off in Newport City, killing a major arms dealer who may have ties with the mysterious 501 Organization. Public Security official Daisuke Aramaki hires full-body cyber prosthesis user and hacker extraordinaire, Motoko Kusanagi, to investigate. On the case with her are "Sleepless Eye" Batou, who believes Kusanagi is a criminal, Niihama Prefecture Detective Togusa who is investigating a series of prostitute murders he believes are related to the incident, and Lieutenant Colonel Kurtz of the 501 Organization who also wishes to keep an eye on Kusanagi.

Border 2
Freed of her responsibilities with the 501 Organization, Motoko Kusanagi must now learn how to take orders from Aramaki. When unknown forces hack the Logicomas, Batou enlists the help of former army intelligence officer Ishikawa and former air artillery expert Borma. Kusanagi also seeks to enlist ace sniper Saito and undercover cop Paz into the new Public Security Section 9. The two groups rival each other in a case involving a man who receives false memories of a refugee transport operation.

We like it because:

We love anything relating to Ghost In The Shell, and ARISE puts a whole new spin on things. The fact we get to see Kusnagi before she joins aligns herself with Section 9 and then ultimately get to see the formation of the unit is a real treat for GITS fans everywhere.

Stunning visuals, a compelling story, an amazing futuristic setting and brilliant action are synonymous with the Ghost In The Shell, and trust us when we say you won't be disappointed with first two 'Borders' of Ghost In The Shell ARISE.
