I think the Japanese Miracle came about in the aftermath of WW3. As in, apparently the world overcame their fear of nuclear weapons and had a firefight with them, and only Japan had the technology to clean up the mess. Then they had a WW4 with no nuclear weapons... Seems backwards. Makes more sense for the technology to arrive and then have a nuclear exchange.

Guess all the nukes were used up. :shrug:

I don't think it's worry about fallout that kept humanity from blowing itself up. At least I think the main picture in popular imagination was the mushroom cloud and everything being on fire.

They're different stories kind of so it's not a big deal.
The first one definitely has a more deep thinking vibe than the newer one. At least that's how it came across to me.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

the new one is boring, there's no artistry to it, and the music is far worse

It seems to me in SAC that “Non-nuclear WW4 aka the Second Vietnam War (lol Anime)” was the global north putting down a revolution by the global south. NATO invades Mexico and South America (we see a flashback with the Major, Ishikawa, and Saito in Mexico with some Americans and Canadians and we see a flashback with Batou in South America). There is also some kind of conflict in Asia where we see Kuze in a flashback that leads to the refuge crisis. Seems like there’s no nukes for the same reason America doesn’t nuke all the places we invade, the goal is maintaining imperialism,

Man what a great series. So many blink and you miss it details. E.g. The CIA are the ones pulling the strings during all of season 2 and pushed Goda to mastermind everything. You only find this out in a 15 second scene during the last few minutes of season 2.

Put simply, collectivist action without direct collaboration. Like if a whole bunch of people copycat each other to accomplish some goal

I don't remember if it's true for every GitS continuity but there's some maps showing that Beijing, Moscow, Washington and most of eastern Europe are simply not there anymore. America in general has a lot of new great lakes. So even if the world isn't permanently uninhabitable, the governments that survived that might have lost the taste for it.

It's important to instill a strong moral code from a young age. That's why I would immediately recommend Death Note if you haven't already done so.
