Ghost in the Shell gets a manga-faithful reboot by Science SARU, Bleach finally closes the book on the Thousand-Year Blood War, and \u2014 yes \u2014 there is now an official Sekiro anime dropping on Crunchyroll in September. With shows spread across Crunchyroll, Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, Singapore fans have no excuse for an empty watchlist this July.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IanqpvZsp_s\" title=\"Sekiro: No Defeat | Official Trailer 2 | Crunchyroll\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Sekiro: No Defeat | Official Trailer 2 | Crunchyroll \u2014 via Crunchyroll on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Sekiro Gets the Anime Treatment \u2014 Exclusively on Crunchyroll<\/h2>\n<p>FromSoftware&#8217;s 2019 action masterpiece <em>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/em> is making its first leap into animation. Titled <strong>Sekiro: No Defeat<\/strong>, the series is fully hand-drawn 2D by Studio Qzil.la, directed by Kenichi Kutsuna with a screenplay by Takuya Sato and character designs by Takahiro Kishida. The production was developed in close collaboration with FromSoftware, adapting one of the game&#8217;s branching narrative paths into a single definitive storyline \u2014 so expect Wolf&#8217;s story to feel personal and complete rather than a loose game recap.<\/p>\n<p>The anime premieres on <strong>4 September 2026<\/strong> exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide (excluding Japan, China, Korea, Russia and Belarus), the same day Japan gets a limited theatrical run. Crunchyroll is fully available in Singapore. This is the first FromSoftware IP ever adapted to another on-screen medium, so it is kind of a big deal.<\/p>\n<h2>Ghost in the Shell Goes Back to the Manga \u2014 Prime Video, 7 July<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ghost-in-the-shell-2026-anime.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Ghost in the Shell 2026 anime by Science SARU \u2014 key visual showing Major Motoko Kusanagi\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Science SARU \/ Amazon Prime Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Science SARU \u2014 the studio behind <em>Dandadan<\/em>, <em>Devilman Crybaby<\/em> and <em>Scott Pilgrim Takes Off<\/em> \u2014 is taking on Masamune Shirow&#8217;s original Ghost in the Shell manga. Directed by Mokochan (assistant director on Dan Da Dan) with scripts by EnJoe Toh, it is being billed as the most faithful adaptation of the source material the franchise has ever had, leaning into the manga&#8217;s goofier, more eccentric Kusanagi rather than the stoic icon of the 1995 film.<\/p>\n<p>Before the global debut, the first two episodes will world-premiere at the <strong>Annecy International Animation Film Festival<\/strong> in June.
