Ghost in the Shell ARISE border:less
MovieGhost in the Shell ARISE border:less is an anthology of short films spun off from the Arise OVA series. Overseen by Katsuyuki Motohiro and put out by Production I.G, the project gathers five brief pieces, each handed to a different director working within the Arise setting.
Overview
The border:less collection extends the Arise branch of the franchise into short-form storytelling. Rather than a single feature, it assembles several compact films under one banner, with Katsuyuki Motohiro leading the project and Production I.G handling publication. The format lets a range of directors each contribute a self-contained entry.
Plot
The anthology is made up of five shorts, each credited to its own filmmaker. They are Foreseeing 2027 by Yoshihito Sasaguchi, memory by Junta Yamaguchi, Color by Shintaro Ono, Shimamura Yuki wa Tanaka Kenji o Wasurenai, meaning Yuki Shimamura does not forget Kenji Tanaka, by Daisuke Yamaoka, and Working High by Kaori Umewaki.
Reception
The shorts were released as a streamed set tied to the wider Arise continuity, giving fans a spread of short experiments built around the same world. As a director-driven anthology, it functions as supplementary material to the main Arise OVA line rather than a standalone theatrical release.
