Ok, I am not familiar with this anime though I try to explain as much as I can.
1) What was the "Summer of Love?"
In Japanese or Chinese term for 'summer', it originally means the summit or pinnacle of something. I believe the term summer of love directly means acme in sexual excitement.
2) What is the Seven Swell?
Seven means 'perfect', seven swell means perfect erection, which is a yearning for all men.
3) Is Anemone a Corallian?
Anemone turns to coral after tens of thousands of years. This is a phenomenon Japanese are eager to get a fossil fuel.
4) What is the "Despair sickness?"
Søren Kierkegaard referred to despair as a disease that leads to death. Every Japanese have tanatus, because they know they never catch up with Westerners very high criteria.
5) What exactly is the Compac Drive?
That's what Japanese feel they are good at.
6) What is the political structure and history of their world? The Council of Sages, the Voderac, the wars they keep refering to, etc. They have this army, but no apparent enemy nation.
It's just veyr silly for us to seek for profound meaning in these settings. They all were set at random without seriously thinking about its factual background. All were made out of strange combination of their arbitrary choice of words and immature knowledge.
7) What they heck was humanity doing for 10,000 years after they left Earth?
Such settings are common in Japan's anime.
In current world Japanese know they always meet their match, so after 10,000 years they think they might be able to win.
8) An explanation of the last scene of the series. What is the final resolution?
Final resolution simply means 'annihilation' of all species. This fear is so common among all Japanese. Their raison d'eta has been always questioned since the end of World War II.
(I understand that Japanese anime producers count on Otaku buying and reading all the source books associated with a series, so that they don't have to cover everything during their limited air time).
Otaku(Nerd) culture has been much more flourished overseas than here in Japan, I believe.
