The official website for the Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 anime began streaming a teaser trailer for the compilation film of the anime's first season on Thursday.

The site also reveals that the film will use a new Dolby Atmos mix of Millennium Parade's theme song "Fly with me."
The anime debuted on Netflix worldwide in April 2020. The first season has 12 episodes, with plans for a second season moving forward. Production I.G.

Toda is best known for composing the music of the Metal Gear Solid series alongside Harry Gregson-Williams, and Toda and Jinnouchi collaborated on the Ultraman anime.
