I haven't seen the original yet. Do y'all think I should hold off on watching this until I finally get to the originals or (since this is likely more of a Manga adaptation), would i be ok to just start it once its airing?

I don't think you have to watch the original first. While the characters are the same their portrayal is slightly differen in every adaption and the story differs too

I strongly recommend to watch the 1995 movie, then wait for the new TV series.

This series is supposedly an adaptation of the original mamga, which has never been fiathfully adapted. You are free to check out the film and the spinoffs of the film, but they're very different in tone from the manga. Meaning you can start with this new series and be fine.

Considering this will be the first ever faithful adaptation of the manga, you don't really need prior experience with the series.
I heavily recommend the original film tho. It's a great watch.

Every piece of content of this series is amazing, but for this you don’t need prior experience. Still, there is no reason not watch at least the two Mamoru Oshii movies, they are a mandatory viewing for anyone watching anime🙃
