Aside from the saturated Innocence-esque colors and modern digital compositing, I have to question whether GitS needs to be "updated" with videogamey 3D effects in the first place. There's a lot of elegance and beauty in the way the original used its 2D animation and (now primitive) 3D effects/compositing. In the new trailer, I'm not seeing how the excessive digital re-compositing, 3D characters and flying cameras angles are supposed to enhance the meditative, 'yuugen'-heavy feel of the film.
