even if its an unpopular opinion: slime season 3. It’s a transition season with a lot of meeting and not a lot of action but it’s ok because they are preparing for season 4 and the meetings are pleasant to watch.

The first season alone is meh, but the second season twist completly the 1st season feeling and make the whole series a really good full fledged GitS SAC and nothing in the second season feels like everything in the 1st season is retcon based on the reception but a plan decided from the beginning. After SAC_2045 i’m confident they can make another really good SAC TV show or movie in 2023. But you have to accept the really bad CGI in the first 8 episodes of SAC_2045 to enjoy the ride ^^

I show my mother Hathaway and she never watched any gundam movie or tv show and she really loved and had no problem to understand what is happening.

As a better entry point I would recommand Witch from Mercury which is the lastest TV show

France has a doctrine of not depending nor trusting anyone, including USA and since France inject directly money to private arm industry with a budget voted for the period starting from now until 2030, the arm industry does not have to care about duration of the war. From what I know a lot of countries in Europe does the same (vote for a defense budget over a long period) unlike USA that vote every year. But USA prepare itself for a possible conflict over Taiwan and needs to buy a lot of arms and ammo to the private sector so the are not takeb by surprise so it would be better for them that the Ukraine war that empty their stock end soon.

Well in France the defense historical budget has been voted few month ago and Nexter has already double the ammo production for Ukraine and is expected to double it again before the end of the year (so a 4x the production since the beginning of the war)

Didn’t china the one asking japan and south korea to come closer to china geopolitic veil? Seems that’s not the best move to convince them…
