Planet With is only 12 episodes long, reminds me of Gurren Lagaan, but has 3 factions with 3 philosophies instead of 2. Unlike many other anime nowadays it is wrapped up at the end pretty well.
Animes are not getting wrapped nowadays because authors can't finish what they start, standard is starting a series, series gets popular, and after 100-200 chapters author burns out and everything either gets abandoned or trickle to 1 chapter per month(s). It's been a major reason why i now prefer manhuas, they can keep it up at least and often even finish.
Also even if a manga gets anime adaptation, the curse of seasons replaced consistent work, so it never catch up to manga anyways.
I have noticed a trend of the publication dates of hit series switching to bi-weekly or monthly schedules, or even longer in order to combat author fatigue. For example, Black Clover switching to quarterly instead of weekly; Chainsaw Man (part 2) debuting as a bi-weekly when the first part was weekly. Not to mention the increasing trend of short- to medium-length stories instead of long stories.
The era of major manga series being hundreds of chapters long may now be over! May Oda finish One Piece so I can find out what the hell the treasure is!
I don't think that one chapter per week is some heinous crunch, some people are able to keep it for years (Joji Morikawa for example write like that for something around 30 years). I more meant those like whomever shithead made a Drifters series and abandoned it when it was the hottest.
I use the usual manga agregate sites, they have tons of manhuas by now. For some reason they lack sorting by chapter amount though so it's PITA to find something interesting often.
My philosophy is that if a story needs > 100 chapters to be told, it has no substance at all.
A silly show like this is kind of hard to take seriously from a material analysis point of view.

There is the "Paladin" faction that uses the psychic powers of dragon scales to be "heroes" They believe in growth through strife. The dragon scales exalt them from the rest of humanity and their leader intends to make them grow stronger to take over the world by force. They believe in justice through conflict and domination. Using the dragon scales too much sometimes makes these "heros" turn into spree killers. The dragon that these scales are from is responsible for extinguishing mostly all life from at least one planet. They share similarities with fascism.
There is the "Sealing faction" that seeks to suppress psychic abilities for everyone on earth. They send devices that are immune to non psychic attacks around the world to seal everyone's psychic abilities. They also give people experiences like dreams where the disappointments and despairs in their lives did not happen. They have the power to win when they feel like it but for some reason they just want to give anyone that opposes them a chance to beat them. They are kind of smug. While on the surface they oppose the Paladin faction, they really go far out of their way to enable them. They share similarities with liberalism.
There is the "Evolution of love" that believes that psychic powers should be nurtured responsibly. They believe that beings should be allowed to develop psychic powers and use them to live in harmony with others instead of dominating others with force. At the beginning, they see the dragon scales as the problem and seek to take all of the dragon scales from the Paladin faction. They would rather the danger of the dragon scales be addressed first because nurturing destructive behavior is worse than sealing people away. Not ideological per se, but I do think it is funny that they get extremely powered up by alcohol. They share similarities with some form of leftism but I can't tell you which one because the material conditions of this universe are so different from this one
Maybe I'm streaching it out a bit, but it is a fun watch. Some people complain about the cg, but it is not really that bad
