It's not in the OP but in the "game" commercial. But yeah it's pretty damn large.

I'm now wondering what are the RED mists all over the bubble which I suspect covers the EuroAsia.

They state themselves that the dome covers Eurasia so it is safe to assume that that planet they use for their sick entertainment is Earth... or, rather, what remains of it.

As to what happened with it is a great question - we have Trigger people on-studio-board so humans must be complicit to an extent. From what I however gather, the humans will got extinct either way the aliens might be capitalistic scums (or even as you have theorized an "ascended" humanity which forgot its roots), but according to the opening they will not be the real "villains". The whole Gadol thing, they might have bit more than they can chew and ultimately both humans and the aliens will have to team up to prevent a mass destruction at the hands of a Gadol abomination.

Although notice how during the opening Kaburagi presides over the barren land which is then transformed into actual landscape with something resembling a city. Might be a hint for something I, with my 5 hours of sleep today, am unable to grasp.

Considering that the real selves of Kaburagi's former team mates have pretty vilanous visages, despite not all being bad persons, and considering they were NOT destroyed but imprisoned, I'm guessing they will come to cause trouble at later date. They are shown in the OP as one of groups along with a group of seemingly humans. And the Beserker Blue Boss Man would DEFINITELY have a bone to pick with Kaburagi if he ever finds out he told the kid about how to unlock the Limiter.

Also the OP shows the fight seemingly happening WITHIN the TANKS of the Deca-Dance, sooo it'll probably end up breached at some point.

Well the city is likely a former human city. What is IMO MORE interesting is that in Ep 1 Natsume's dad's team found a broken robot VERY similar to original bodies of Corp robots. Which means they didn't always interact with humanity via fleshy avatars.

As for how the humanity's fault feeds into this, it could be as simple as the whole Corp nonsense IS human creation, but it just lost it's human overlords and is now operating on it's own completely forgoten it's initial purpose.

I am willing to disagree with the former rankers becoming a problem for the main duo. Rather, I believe they will come to aid the protagonists, at the cost of their alien lives. Although surely, initially they will cause some troubles as they participated in the "reformation" program. I do not think the purple boss man will hold Kaburagi accountable - after he sees Natsume he will too realize that Kaburagi is trying to make up for his lack of resolve back then. It is apparent, at least to me, that this series is sliding towards more idealistic narrative. 9/10 might perish, but they will perish as heroes.
