Serving as a prequel to the iconic anime film, Ghost in the Shell, the new four-part series Ghost in the Shell: Arise is set to debut in June and will finally detail the story of how Motoko Kusanagi became a cyborg. In anticpation, here’s the first trailer!

Haven’t even watched the trailer yet, but I already waaaaaaant.
Actually, given that there are already three distinct GitS universes (the movies, the manga, and the Stand-Alone Complex TV series), are we sure this is a prequel to the movies (and not SAC)?
Isn’t the reason for her being a cyborg explained in the second season of GitS:SAC?
*SPOILERS*
She was in a plane(?) crash when she was very young, and most of her body had to be replaced with cyborg parts.
This looks pretty awesome, I’m a great fran of Ghost in the Shell, and I really hope it’s as good as Stand Alone Complex was (I ended up getting the LE’s with the OST’s etc).
GitS is my favourite anime of all time. This brightened my day, completely!
