<p>I know that there isn't any story in the series, but they do sometimes get into details about the setting (Merkur Era 48,650-48,794). Was there any reason given for the ongoing (very long) war with humanity that is constantly raging outside the manor? Or anything that can be gleaned from interviews with writer/director Wataru Arakawa?</p>
