| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now that was some pure Science Fiction, shame it's slightly incoherent. The art was good for 1987. A new planet composed of Anti-matter in our solar system is totally impossible though :P I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it was Dark Matter or something in the original Japanese. The only review currently is 0/25 favourable so in case anyone's looking here for info I'll spoilerify the rest, since I overanalyse the whole bloody thing~ overall a nice story! |

| I think, beneath the surface, this is actually a tale about one man's massive ego and deluded fantasy of being a god-like figure to a new race (note the Great Flood and calling his son ADAM ferchrissake); a man who binds his son into an impossible obligation in his will so he can have no life of his own, while letting the Earth go to shit, keeping back the funds that could've saved the planet for a vanity project on a ludicrous scale, due to his deep-rooted misanthropy and astounding self-importance that only his genes are the ones capable of creating a paradise. And the moral was that this was doomed to failure since the kids are already contracting the space disease that killed off all the other colonies. A dark, cynical tale of hopelessness and man's eternal folly! |
| Aha! I knew it. The Soviet Union will be rebuilt by 2058. In all seriousness though, 7.2 billion people was a very low-ball guesstimate for the human population at the end of the 21st century / the beginning of the 22nd century. |

| The whole idea with the Adam and Eve dumping their kids onto Ozma was interesting but afterwards, I stopped caring about what was happening. |
