I used to assume that the Human Monument project was intended to represent vaporware on a massive scale, just something being thrown around to demonstrate how ineffectual humans were at getting anything done, but this episode makes me wonder if it's meant more as an impending death-knell for civilization, Easter Island style. Many people pointed out the comparisons, and I notice that approximations of the Moai were among the fairies ill-conceived efforts.
This show is relentlessly satirical. The fairies of course provide microcosms of the subject matter being lambasted, but Watashi's so biting, cynical, and occasionally amoral that she completely earns her top billing.
