Will we have a new batch of sci-fi or cyberpunk anime in the future?

>Do you think that with all the fuss about Gits movie cyberpunk will be popular again?
it's possible
dystopian futures were a popular thing not too long ago, cape-ish squads doing stuff seems to make a buck given Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad, stuff like that
I don't think it would be enough to push the normie market to cyberpunk but I figured cape movies would have died off a while back and I remember seeing the booth at Dragoncon for that new "walking dead" comic and chuckling derisively about getting on board the neozombie trend right before it ended, so what the fuck do I know.
I think it'll be a question as much about what the GitS live action would be to figure out what it would beget if it succeeds.
>Will we have a new batch of sci-fi or cyberpunk anime in the future?
maybe something like Denno Coil or Gatchaman Crowds, but something where the cyber police bust cyber crooks and flash cyber guns around I'm not so sure about
it seems that Japan has an appetite for that at its own time, I don't know that a western GitS live action would affect it

We'll never see a Blade Runner-like environment in the movies.
And modern anime writers can't do shit.

I still have faith in anime writers, I think they can do good things, but producers won't let them. Those are the actual problem, you come with the idea of a detective mecha series and you end writing a fantasy harem.

No.

Not GOOD ones

Nah. I tried two of the modern not-/m/ series.
The basic idea is promising, but the execution is horrible
Pacific Rim did nothing to end the "all mechs are Power Rangers or Transformers for kids" stigma in the West, so probably not.

To be fair Michael Baye probably wasn't helping with his retarded ass movies.

This.
At best we'll get a revival of a superficial cyberpunk aesthetic, received secondhand through people who grew up with old cyberpunk media, but who never bothered to read or watch any of what inspired it in the first place.
A cargo cult version, basically.

I would be fine with that.
Im tired of fantasy aesthetics and I'm the biggest fantasyfag anime you can find, but I'm so fucking tired of generic medieval settings than anything futuristic even if its only in aesthetics would please me.
Of course, speaking strictly about anime here not other forms of media.
She was bitch
I learned not so long ago that even normal current-day movie are made with 70% CGI, like : you see that women getting in a bus ? in the winter ?
Well, only the bus stop is real inside a green room.
So they absolutely can do cyberpunk as long as they build the 3D asset and 3D models. For that GitS would need to be a huge success akin to Pirate of the Caribbean.
However it will not improve the quality nor the originality of their production.
- They'll always dumb thing down to stuff the most common public can understand or stuff that "sell" (always seeing the face of the actor even if it's stupid)
- They'll go back to their basic plotline (hero chased throughout the story, super heroes story, crime investigation)
- They won't ever make research to address properly the SF concept they'll use (easy AI, hollywood hacking, airfight & sound in space, visible laser)
No need to say I don't expect much

Even If it repopularized it, Blade Runner 2 will nail the coffin again.

Joker Game and 91 Days.
