Humanity Has Declined

A fascinatingly strange series. The premise is elegaic science fiction, and the show leaps off that idea to do slice-of-life absurdist comedy and social satire. But deeper than that, it's about a selfish girl who cares deeply, who lives in a dying world but can't help dedicating herself to the new world being born. And fucks up a lot, but still makes a difference! But that gets expressed thru time loops and memory alteration and the joyful strangeness the fairies embody. Wonderfully weird.

The show has a peculiar sense of whimsy in treating the ills of humanity in a lighthearted manner, but the humor is overly reliant on absurdity and when it tries to be poignant it loses me. Its portrayal of humanities decline is not the least bit convincing, and its commentary of consumerism is as surface level as you can get. This is made worse by how inconsistent the show is - it goes from wacky insanity at one episode then tones down for a half-baked theme the next.
