While Mamoru Oshii frequently departs from his source material, I don't find it as a negative thing. He does so deliberately to pursue his own themes, tone, and worldview rather than to reproduce the original faithfully. It doesn't take anything from the source material and also offers fresh experience for anime viewers, no matter if they are familiar with the original work or not. ;) If you ask me, I prefer this approach to, let's say, modifying the original work in a way that it neither resembles the adapted source material nor feel original and fresh in any way.
I hope it will be at least moderately newcomer-friendly, no matter if it's going to be a movie or a series. It may have references to the previous installments, of course, but I'd love it to have them presented in a way that viewers already familiar with the franchise won't have problems detecting them, and newcomers won't be confused in any way by them because of these elements blending well with the whole anime.
It feels like something was missing
