Since this the "era of the gods", my suspicion is that earth has been split into the dominions of many gods (of which Shinju is one, and it and the Taisho are no secrets to the general populace). Some great unravelling has occurred in the past, there is absolutely no mention of foreign countries. The main characters use distinct flower and Shinto visual motifs, to signify how Japanese they are. So there's something uncomfortably nationalist about a show all about Defending the Homeland Against the Foreigners.


That'd make sense. If you looked when they kept going into space, the Shinju-area was just the one flower, presumably where Japan is on the globe, and then just Earth. And since they apparently can't do anything outside the Shinju's area, that'd make sense so long as you pretend it's area is just 2d.

Honestly, I'd be pretty happy if it just ended at six episodes. Not everything needs A SHOCKING TWIST, after all. I mean it won't, but that'd be pretty neat.

Right now it seems like someone watched a bunch of old war movies and then thought, "why do these always end right after a battle? I wanna see what happens afterwards." And then added magical girls.

Then they decided that the world needed to be ever so slightly off, just because. But I agree, this probably isn't something you'd go back and watch once you know what's up.
