So, prior to this I'm not usually interested in military theme series, but then I give Tanya a watch, and I'm hooked ! I've also watched the movie.

After that, I remember 86 and also finish those. The last one I've finished was Nippon Sangoku, and now I want more like these. I think it's related, but I also throw Sentenced to be a Hero having same vibe, though it's more focus on individual and has much more fantasy flavor setting-wise.

I don't really care about the interpersonal between the character, I think I just enjoy the campaign/battle theater and the logistic side of the war.

Please throw me some of yours recs ! Thanks

Edit: Still reading the recs you guys give, thanks a lot. But for some more context I've watched most of Gundam entries and the usual suspects for space opera so it's already on my radar. But then again maybe other find it helpful, so I don't mind.

Oh, is the series has some full-scale war element to it? I was waiting for the new series and then look at the rest of the catalog based on how I like it.

My impression of it is it's a Blade Runner (the Gosling one) but femme fatale.

Ah no sorry, I don't remember there being any large-scale war element to it, so it might not exactly fit what you're looking for. There's a distinct "spec ops" feel to it and thought it'd be worth checking out given the overall theme.

Is there any particular entry you like that you recommend? the '95 film?

I think the two Stand Alone Complex seasons are great and they've aged really well. I don't remember much about the 95 movie, but I don't think you can go wrong with it. I never got too much into the newer seasons (SAC 2045), as the CGI look and middling reviews put me off from watching them, but I might give them a go as prep for the new season starting this year.
