Possibly an environmentalist angle too, but yeah mankind annihilating itself and the rest of the world with its own tech.

So the power of lesbian cruses wasn't enough to save the day? This anime challenges me in whole new ways.

In one of the options the people willingly chose the path, in the other they are forced into it.

It seems a bit more than that. A race which is "sealed" doesn't grow or change further, which seems different from what the pacifist faction want.

Well, that moved fast.

Honestly I'm loving this show just for the breakneck pacing of the story and the refusal to pad things out.

Episode 8: Don't get in the drat robot Shinji.

I'm wondering what determines whether you can understand Sensei/Generalissimo's people. Maybe it's some measure of power, so glasses guy is maybe a lot more powerful than he seems? Shiraishi was able to stand toe-to-toe vs Takashi on her own (without Cat Doping), and while Ginko didn't seem to *do anything*, she was involved in the battle.

My guess is it's tied to empathy, and specifically having psychic powers that are expressions of being able to understand people like telepathy. (I mean, we know that Ginko can read minds and is really good at it, what with the whole sequence of her being able to hear the thoughts of everyone on Sirius.)

Benika's more of a brute force sort of psychic, so she can't get an entire monologue out of a single woof.

So yeah, Planet With continues its trend of cramming entire seasons worth of content into a couple of episodes. Frankly I am in awe of how well-paced this show is.
