TV Animation "THE GHOST IN THE SHELL" 2nd Teaser Trailer

A stylized poster for the anime film "The Ghost in the Shell 2026," featuring a female cyborg protagonist.  The character, with short teal hair and piercing red eyes, wears a futuristic, off-white, military-style jumpsuit with dark gray accents and straps. She is holding a large, dark-colored rifle or machine gun, and her right arm is visibly augmented with mechanical components, which are connected by visible wires that spark with electricity. Her left hand rests lightly on the weapon.  The background depicts a gritty, cyberpunk-inspired cityscape with red and green neon lights, suggesting a chaotic urban environment.  Part of a faded red sign with the word "POL" is visible. The artistic style blends elements of anime and cyberpunk aesthetics, using a vibrant color palette and sharp lines.  The Science SARU logo and the year 2026 are prominently displayed at the bottom.  Japanese text is included, likely providing credits and additional information.
