Eureka Seven (TV).

It seems I was watching a different show with the same name.

In the show I watched the scub coral on gaining sentience tried to reach out and communicate with all life. However, the only way they knew to do that was assimilation. This became a serious problem for humanity and eventually chased them off the planet. The scub coral left with thousands of years of nothing to communicate with finally realized that communication via assimilation was counterproductive.

When the humans returned the scub coral was overjoyed but they still only had assimilation as a means of communication and decided to explore other options to see if it was possible to communicate and coexist with humanity. Eureka, Sakuya and Gonzy were some of those attempts. I suspect the desperation disease was another phenomenon that the scub coral explored. The situation reached crisis as a result of the limit of questions and Dewey’s final solution annihilation crusade. The scub coral started to think that survival and coexisting with humans were mutually exclusive.

In the end no final solution was found. Half of all life largely made up of scub coral and some humans who were living inside the scubs went to another dimension to try and figure out this coexistence thing and the other half of life largely made up of humans and some scub coral stayed here to do the same. This postponed the limit of questions business and both sides were supposed to meet up at some point and compare notes on their solutions.

That’s the show I watched. It was a pretty cool show. What you guys watched sounds interesting too though.

so they were peaceful but completely passive. I think you just have a different philosophy than those people but its like being mad at monks for not solving the wall-street crash in america. In their current state the fate of the physical world has nothing to do with them. Its a long standing tradition of fiction that enlightened people don't give two sh!ts about normal people

This is why I said, this 'evolution' was actually a fall of humanity and reducing it to a passive mass unable to act and think for themselves.

poilk92 I do have to ask how you think humans would evolve into energy beings. Gradually fading away into energy over millions of years? Losing your corporeal form naturally just doesn't seem likely.

since there is no evidence to support or refute that in the anime all I can say is. Thats not the impression I got at all

Maybe its because I'm in the school of thought that says the next step of human evolution is being thought without corporeal forms so I'm biased. But they seemed perfectly happy and still in control of their own will. In fact I got the impression that the library was just the shape that the dimension took so that renton and eureka could comprehend it. When in reality it was some sort of shapeless realm that housed all the knowledge of humanity and the coral (and what is the physical representation of a store house of knowledge if not a library)
