Will Section 9 ever come to the U.S. (American Empire)?

We saw how Japan and Germany looked. We know there were the destructive wars which changed the world between now and 2030. We heard a lot about the American Empire (including it's collusion with Goda and others) and it's interests. There is also an Ameri-Svoiet Union according to dialogue.

Wouldn't it be neat if Section 9 came to the American Empire (New York, LA, DC, Vancouver, and elsewhere in the continent)?

I would like to see if we have destroyed zones, population strife, refugees, coastal cities under water, etc.

I have the three mangas but have not read them. I don't think they come to the U.S. Empire. Nothing about U.S. in Solid State Society. They did too much teasing on the U.S.

We need to see what it looks like in the G.I.T.S. future!

So far we've seen Britain, Russia (not Germany), Central America, South America, and Etorofu (apparently now a lawless zone between Japan and Russia). I suppose it might be interesting to see what an imperial North America would look like, but there would have to be some compelling reason for them to go there. From the role they've played in the series so far, I think it's fair to say that America is a bear that the Japanese government is more than happy to let sleep.

You say Germany, not Russia. It was Berlin in the episode and they called it Germany. Was it supposed to be occupied by Russia or something?

You're right, it was Berlin, Germany, and there was no mention of any Russian occupation. The Section 9 members were working with the Germany police, so that would suggest the country was still independent, or at least Berlin was.

Russia was briefly covered with the episodes of the Russian mob and the Northern Territories, and of the Russian boxer, but otherwise we haven't seen any of Russia in the show.

It seems you're right. For some reason I thought it was set in Moscow, with the previous bombing having taken place in Berlin. Perhaps it was the other way around...

Just for the curious...
If you have seen the Wim Wenders film "Der Himmel über Berlin" you will have a surprise...
I think the german SAC episode does some kind of reference to the film...or am I wrong ?

In the Britain episode, it was disappointing that the English dub actors for British characters all sounded American, with no attempt at British accents.

On numerous occasions american spies were trying to steal Japanese technology and secrets. So from that information America has severely fallen behind as a global power.
