Fairies are pretty ideal as far as civilization goes. There's no social classes apparently (and even if there were nobody seemed concerned about social mobility). Food is freely distributed by the ruling monarch so this appears to be a communist society as well. However, due to the complete absence of social classes, this society was pretty utopic and ended only due to the depletion of natural resources. In a real human society there always had been social classes and a desire for social mobility. As interesting as this episode is, it's not anywhere close to being a legitimate critique of human society, but definitely an enjoyable episode nonetheless

Holy crap, I can't even begin to describe the awesomeness of this episode. So much to be said about how civilization goes ... starting with the basics then spiraling out of control and then collapsing ... history in a nutshell, wouldn't you say? :P
Queen Watashi ... making sweets and stuff all day! Crazy how they got electricity and everything ... oh my :O The fairies are adorable though XD Eventually it all has to come to an end ... no more trees ... sounds familiar D: Then they get all depressed and it leads to a massive rainstorm ... AND THEN IT ALL FLOODS OVER?! O_O She gets found by her grandpa and assistant ... lulz :P Too bad she has to "clean things up" ... we haven't been doing that so well IRL D;
What she was saying about just cutting loose and going somewhere else to start this all over again ... well, that certainly sounds like what's happened over the years! :O
First one-episode arc IIRC ... wonder what's up next? :O

Way too many emoticons there.

Anyways, this was another great episode.

All honor is a source of joy and duties, in summary, the juice of the episode. I thought that the plot was again a source of bizarre and inexplicable events, but this has not happened, too linear.
Dialogues always epic and strong impact in terms of comedy, but I would call it more sarcasm.
Watashi is one of the most charismatic female characters!

This is probably my favorite episode of Jinrui I've seen so far. Nice little demonstration of the rise and fall of a civilization. I half expected a revolution during the last couple of days.

Oh I see. So that's how Jintai is, eh? I was sensing some satirical undertones ever since the chicken shit, and now it makes sense when you inter-relate this ep and the first ep/s/arc.

Christening.



Know what? Fuck it. Dropped. Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita may be appealing for its allegorical style of the real world and history, but that's exactly it.

Why the hell am I watching an anime showing the problems of the world

I don't get what else there is to like about it. Watashi's personality doesn't help either. No one's does.

Fuck you Kishi Seiji

Tentai Senshi Sunred's the ONLY good thing you directed.

This episode was brilliant. The fairy that presented a new species of narcotic plant and peed on himself and then went into a shivering fit after eating it was hilarious.

As I'm currently rewatching the series I can't help but think that this episode is beyond brilliant. So many great references, remarks to the real world. And afterall, it also explained the setting of the series itself. The fairies are such a brilliant satirical depiction of the human race.

I think many people are missing the beauty of this episode.

This is essentially the story of Easter Island which is largely considered the historical metaphor for humanity as a whole... i.e. Earth = Easter Island

We watch this and laugh at how obnoxious the fairies can be while we're blindly doing, essentially, the exact same thing.

This could very likely be one of the best episode's of anime I've seen.

I honestly don't really get why people love this episode so much. I thought it was good and hammers home that this show is actually a social satire instead of a comedy, but not incredibly amazing. At least, I won't agree that this is the Best Episode of Anime Ever because this one, although funny, wasn't 'crying, choking, can't breathe, sides hurt, might vomit, losing oxygen' funny which other shows have managed to do to me. I do agree with another user here. That Beard episode from Dennou Coil was much better. Similar content and themes as this, but nothing can top "YASAKO IS DEAD".

Also, I just want to point out something. It feels to me that this episode ended at a very heartwarming note. The ending credits sequence had Watashi interacting with her Grandpa and noting to herself that "The last time Grandpa hit me was before I left for school",a surprisingly personal remark, before stating that she has returned to her old everyday life. This feels to me completely out of left field and unrelated to the rest of the episode before it. Sure, one can say that it symbolizes the hope that still exists for man when a civilization falls, however other than that, it's just so random. It's similar to back in the Pioneer/Voyager arc wherein the latter half of the second episode was startlingly dramatic. It feels like this show is trying to hammer in this heartwarming tone to go along with its sarcasm, and while I feel that it does sometimes succeed in doing so (The Time Paradogs Arc really enriched The Assistant's character), it often ends up feeling random and inconsistent.

To think something so small and adorable could give rise to a whole civilisation and bring it to ruin in the span of a few weeks, my favourite arc so far.

What an episode. Prior to this one, this show has been 6-7/10 for me, but this episode in particular is 10/10 - simply amazing from the first and till the last line. It could have easily become preachy and heavy-handed, yet it didn't. (I've actually left the first comment on these forums simply because of how much I've enjoyed this one)
