Fans of Ghost in the Shell have something exciting to look forward to. Japanese public-racing internet-betting platform Odds Park has announced an official collaboration with TV anime Ghost in the Shell: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL, titled “THE SPEED IN THE SHELL,” running from 3 to 16 September 2026.
About Ghost in the Shell: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL
Ghost in the Shell (攻殻機動隊) is a landmark of cyberpunk science fiction, originating from Shirow Masamune‘s manga published in 1989 and since expanded into anime, a Hollywood live-action film, video games, and more. Set in a near future where advanced networking technology and cybernetics allow humans to connect their brains directly to digital networks, the series follows the exploits of a special-forces unit led by full-body cyborg Motoko Kusanagi as they combat cybercrime.
The latest anime series, currently airing since July, is produced by Science SARU — the acclaimed studio behind Dandadan — and is directed by Moko-chan, a Science SARU veteran who served as assistant director on Dandadan, making this her solo directorial debut.
