At the end of the sixth episode of _Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita_ the two
drones in form of black panels have handles attached to them and placed in a
wooden shelf with a note near them saying "1 hour of winding = 1 minute". It's
not very clear from the characters' lines what this all means.

Can't drones recharge from electric sockets? I thought Pion just did at the
beginning of the episode? Why resort to manual winding mechanism? What's
really going on?

What happens to the drones at the end of episode 6?


Okay, I was a bit confused as well, but I think I know what happened at the
end. So that Pion and Oyage could stay on Earth instead of going back into
space, the main character (Watashi) destroys the electric generator, their
only source of power. Near the end, Pion and Oyage are at about 15% power. So,
Watashi converts their batteries into wind-up batteries to get past the
electricity problem. As said on the sign, 1 hour of winding= 1 minute. They're
still okay. :)

And, if it helps, Chris Seibenmann on
<https://cks.mef.org/space/rtblog/anime/JinruiChronologicalOrder> provided an
explanation on the timeline of Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, and the episodes
go: 12, 7-8, 5-6, 1-2, 9, and ending with 3-4. This explains why you don't see
them anymore, because the later episodes are flashbacks, albeit episode 9.
