It's funny, does the story take place in the "Sea of Fog" (or whatever it's called) to reduce drawing demands? Reminds me of the Fog of War in the olden days of early 3D games to limit the number of polygons drawn far away and at the same time prevent the disconcerting sight of objects and characters suddenly popping up in the middle distance
The lines of battle have been drawn: on the one side we have the Galactic Alliance, where every person is a cog in a giant war machine; on the other side we have the natives, lazing about and squabbling amongst themselves without a care in the world. The story leaves no doubt as to which side is the villian.
I think the story is a metaphor for democratic capitalistic states vs totalitarian regimes: the former an unruly lot of people squabbling amongst themselves but often finding prosperity, seemingly by accident; the latter being a purpose-built war machine with every human member being a cog therein.
I find it ironic, however, that the land of the free is a sparsely populated, "verduous" planet, when democracy, peace and capitalism have proven in real life to lead to population explosion and ecological calamity. Totalitarian regimes have actually done more to keep the planet sparsely populated and "verduous" for thousands of years, by means of directing the members of different totalitarian regimes to spill the guts out of each other.
Perhaps that's all totalitarian regimes are ever destined to do, wage war on each other (China being a notable current day exception), thus the Galactic Alliance deserves to be demonized. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but think that the current world could use a little totalitarian direction, for, like, birth control, environmental conservation and concentrating our formidable research muscle on finding a habitable extrasolar planet and finding a way to GTFO of Earth before our already-committed ecological mistakes turn the world into sludge.
There were a lot more things I thought about while watching the episode and I rewrote the spoiler several times. I started writing the spoiler intending to lambast Gen for idealizing the status quo, and I still think he's guilty of that; however the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the truth about the world is so complicated that I don't even know what the truth is, and whatever it is, it surely won't make a good story.

I LOVE music that makes me feel like me brain is getting scrambled while my body is getting beaten to pulp
Who needs stupid easy listening stuff, when you can have albums that take five ore more sittings to understand?
Since I am responsible for composing the series, I took the first and the last episode for myself. You could say the first episode serves as a handhold for other writers so that they can get a feel for how I would like them to write by showing them the taste I am going for. The first episode needs to be done by the composer.

This one on the other hand, I really like. Never heard of them before (not really into Technical Death - most of the stuff is pretty boring, frankly), but will probably check the rest as well... Thanks!

And tbh the other writers did a mediocre job as a whole. Not surprised if there's going to be a "rewrite" if they want to milk money out of it if it sells enough. Like a "true Gen" edition.
