I don't want to pull you either way as a critic here but I'll just say it as it's out of the way, it would have been ok to be harsher unless you really did like solid state more than how SAC set itself up. I really do feel like grabbing by the collar "more about the booklet! Now!" Lol, but I do have the set so I can read it myself, I'm just spending more time enjoying the series though and well I keep thinking I need glasses. I will say one problem i have though - TRUMP and GitS' world wars. For one thing, GitS shows nothing of predicting trump and is set in Japan, Japan is not an ally and is not obligated to be in world wars involving the West, also those wars in reality are pretty much impossible, koreas greatest threat is old American nukes, and they are buried under a collapsed mountain, not to mention that trump ended his Twitter beef by mentioning that America has anti nuke measures that would surely work against any nukes they sold decades ago, and Mexico has so much nothing the crime Mexicans are best known for is leaving their country illegally. If anything trump is only a coarse mouthpiece for relations that have always been poor, and that's what the wars in GitS are about - poor relations. Even if those wars did happen now, they would hardly be trumps fault
