Ghost in the Shell Guía y cronología

The Major's cases can support a concentrated film about identity or a longer run of investigations and institutional conflict. Choosing the form you want is more useful than assuming every familiar character continues the exact same life.

The different versions revisit bodies, memories and connected minds without sharing every event. Their similarities are reasons to compare them, not proof that one missing season lies between a film and a differently framed series.

Stay within one continuity first. In SAC, follow the original series, 2nd GIG, Solid State Society and the SAC_2045 seasons. In Arise, begin with its opening material before The New Movie.

Oshii, SAC and Arise have distinct screen histories. The live-action film and Science SARU adaptation are separately identified rather than later chapters that require every previous version.

• Oshii Films (2 entries)

  Oshii's 1995 Ghost in the Shell and Innocence film sequence, separate from SAC's television history.

• Stand Alone Complex (5 entries)

  Stand Alone Complex, 2nd GIG, Solid State Society and SAC_2045, followed within their own series continuity.

• Arise Continuity (2 entries)

  Arise's animated reinterpretation and The New Movie, not early events automatically inserted into another branch.

• Live-action (1 entry)

  The standalone live-action interpretation, separate from the anime film and series histories.

• Science SARU (2026) (1 entry)

  Science SARU's television interpretation of the source material, identified separately from the older screen branches.

The 1995 film is the compact opening to its film branch. A chosen series starts at its own beginning, with its own follow-ups rather than the combined list's next unrelated adaptation.
