>w-we did all these unnecessary changes for *insert artistic excuse about Japanese generations*
Aka they're following trends and formulas for mass produced pop culture hits instead of being creative with an actual artistic vision. Kudos though that was a nice word salad to say the anime version of "we want the call of duty audience"

>there's no action because its a cold war
And if its a cold war/modern geopolitics depiction than there is a very large lack of proxy wars, saber rattling, tech leaps and most importantly the invisible war of subversion that is causing high amounts of domestic instability that is forcing more proxy conflicts as a means to distract and cause 'rally round the flag' syndrome. Where's the asymmetrical warfare? Where's the numerous terror groups and non state actors operating in the two factions backyards?? Where's the civil war in one of the neutral colonies that is destructive to the innocent civilians living there as both sides disregard all else but political victory to get another piece on the chess board?

This looks more like a list building plausible deniability for the writers if you ask me.
