I love it when these kinds of series pull back the camera onto the wider world, and I've been really wanting to see more of the decrepit left-over Earth setting, so I was very happy with this week. Evil Schoolgirls A and B from last week were rather cardboard characters, but it's really important that this show fully lay out the extremely valid reasons for the Earth people's resentment. The genuine anger behind the beating at the start of the episode. It's not "just evil", or meaningless cruelty. These people are held under a rock.
Anyway, the otaku-tragic detail is that the poor kids have just an AV Famicom hooked up to a LED screen. One controller. Eight frames input lag. I wonder how many hundreds of years old that Fami is in this show's timeline. I wonder how long ago the last CRT burned out.
