You guys can hear our impressions on the miniseries' epilogue in
the newest SkullKast.
To summarize the episode: It's likely set after the events of the 6-part miniseries, and picks up as the empire is pillaging the giant of another race of Mu, this time a female serpent tribe. Prome and Delos arrived too late, this time.
As they wander the land, Delos asks Prome what the world was like before, was it filled with life? She says at one point, there were as many lives as there are stars in the sky. But stars fell to earth, creating a superplume decimating life on the planet. Every 100 million years, the planet experiences a mass extinction like this, but organisms adapt and find new ways to survive. The flesh of Gaia helps nourish the planet, but it's being taken by the empire.
Prome says her purpose is to promote diversity of life, and to unify humanity with the rest of the world--returning things to symbiosis.
Delos remarks that when he first met Prome, she was taller, with more features of a woman. And since their travels, she's regressed to childhood. It's a result of her nourishing Delos with her body's nectar, since their travels are so desolate and they rarely find food.
Suddenly, an evolved ancestor of the microscopic Tardigrade
(commonly called the Water Bear) , stumbles onto their camp, and Delos assaults it for food, taking one of its legs. He passes out at the conclusion of the fight, and once again is brought back to health by Prome's nectar, further regressing her to childhood. She says she doesn't mind it.
Note: In this issue of Young Animal, Miura's comment was "では、本業に戻ります",
loosely translated as: "Now... Back to the main business." (image)
With the conclusion of the series, there won't be any news in this thread for a while. But stay tuned for word of the volume edition, which has yet to be announced, but is likely to come later this year.
