Oh really?

Spoiler for WARNING ->rather heavy saikano spoilers do NOT read if you didn't see it:

I'd say they hardly explained anything.
What do we know?

1. At the beginning of Saikano, the kids say they are bored because of no tv no cell phones no internet, all of these have been banned, it's a first signal something is really wrong but I think most hardly noticed it when mentioned.
2. The war begins with the air raid on Sapporo (I think it was Sapporo) by unknown troops, whoo then are taken out by Chise
3. All we know after that is that Chise is some kind of last resort weapon and that there is indeed a war taking place.
4. It is mentioned that Tokyo and Oosaka have long been destroyed.
5. We find out the enemy speaks english and that it's appears to be a war for survival of the species rather than an actual war of conquest.
6. Chise whipes out enemies by annihilating lost land.
7. in the end everyone and everything dies/is destroyed.

I may have forgotten a few things left and right but I think there are still alot of unanswered questions, not that those really bothered me since the anime was not about the war but about Chise and Shuuji's relation.
