The new season is animated by a totally different company, and the first episode looks great (aside from the OP).
That being said, I spent years reading all the light novels, totally worth it. The series is longer than The Wheel of Time by word count, but is so fucking cozy.
Sub food is good, except when the E2 cooking your meal serves up medium rare chicken.
Was not a nuclear explosion, sure, reactors can't really explode in the same way as bombs, but it absolutely was a meltdown. Meltdown really just means that the fuel melted, which did happen shortly after the power peak flashed the coolant to steam and blew open the core.
I enjoyed that story, thanks
I'm reminded of something else I saw recently, A Good Girl with a Gun: https://youtu.be/pN9buwCCMuM
I'm sure at least one other person will get a kick out of it.
