Glad I'm not the only one who's had this thought. Though not so much that this isn't the real Ami, I still think the Ami we know probably is the "real" one (or at least as real as any version can be depending on how right this particular theory is), but I had also found myself thinking maybe Ami died with her parents and the version we see of her is some fucked up manifestation of the girl she would have been that's been willed into being by some combination of Sekai/Nozomu/her own power. Because honestly if we're going with the theory that Sekai and Nozomu are at least partially able to control the world, why wouldn't Ami share that ability as well, potentially even moreso? Like maybe the fucked up roadkill Ami we see during resets is her true form showing through as illusions start breaking down, and when she didn't feel good and went to her room when Maya and Ayane were over, she wasn't disappearing, she was reverting to that form.
I do think this theory would fit in well if the one I've seen ends up being true that

Question:
What even is the space war? If the world is at a loop, then is outer space the same as well? Considering that Makoto's dad died a few months (?) before, then I guess he's already dead at every reset?
I mean to me, it seems pretty evident that

I don't even think the space war is real. No one ever leaves Kumon-mi, memories can be fabricated, we're not even sure that Kumon-mi is real. Maybe the call that Maki got was also fabricated memory. Though it's hard to explain who is managing all of these "rules" like when does Makoto's dad die or who has been answering all of Futaba and Uta's family call, I think it's harder to explain why no one ever returns to the city, even with the space war around.

The space war, which Ami tells us to ignore, seems to be implied to be the outside world facing whatever is actually behind Kumon-mi.
Makoto's dad seems to have just now died, and with how time seems to work differently in certain places, it's possible that Makoto's dad was fighting since the resets started and just now got killed in the real world. The thousands of years that's gone on in Kumon-mi possibly being only days or months in the real world.
Overall: No one really knows yet.
AmIOkay Maya has seemed to claim everything is already gone though:

So, whatever the "space war" is, it doesn't sound good for those outside Kumon-mi, or for those within it.

thought maya said that was new for her at one point but could be wrong.
the space war is a joke, its not real, the characters gloss over it like crazy and talk about and redirect attention from it like you just asked them about the reset if the line of questioning has anything to do with details
i really want there to be a space war... it sounds like an actually cool plot, but this game keeps making me think its not 'real' and is just one more mental whammy everyone is living with.
that's why i think the absurd homeless rate in japan is just the 'space war soldiers' shoved into a corner of town no one goes to often to be forgotten about and they were probably the people that interfered to much in this new world
this also implies potentially that ami killed 'makoto's' dad by telephone call like todd to make makoto suffer
and didnt for haruka... to make her suffer through guilt

Rin said she was able to skip a year though. It's not like Selebus has to know every single detail about Japan. He made fun of Imani in game for choosing being a college teacher in pursuit of good money. And she was actually on point: an assistant teacher (yes an assistant) is among the top 10 better remunerated jobs in Japan.
We are told not to bother with that. I think it's just a gag or something conveniently made up. And better not touch that, I mean if they are fighting an interstellar battle out there and we are following Einstein theory, from the perspective of Kumon mi's residents the war shouldn't even started yet, the combatants are still just travelling through space (not enough time has passed). But anyway who cares about physics, right? Lol Specially when it gets in the middle of a fun story.

That's what I thought at first too, but things got weird when the report about Makoto's dad's cause of death came in and it confused the heck out of me.
Although by seeing it the way that we see Kumon-mi, it'd make sense that it's just a fabricated lie. So basically, a prank call was made by____ (I want to say Nozomu or Sekai, but that's probably pushing it too much) if we assume that the calls were staged.

Does this bother anyone else? It's just the number 5 that is short... pisses me off all the time.

And all that things is to help Makoto move over it and continue to fuck with Sensei.
It would be really nice if it have been, but unfortunately it wasn't

The space war, as we've been told, doesn't actually matter. It's a contrivance to explain why most of the men are conveniently not in Kumon-Mi. I'd go so far as to suggest that the space war doesn't actually exist at all.
The powers that be, whoever they are, isolated Kumon-Mi in a bubble that exists outside time and space, and the space war is how they hand-wave away all questions about it. It's just an excuse.
Makoto's father may not even actually be dead. They got a robocall about his death that told them to "remember to smile," which sounds like some HOPE fuckery. At the same time, Haruka gets a robocall about her husband being alive so that she feels guilt about having sex with Akira. Almost like HOPE is trying to steer Akira away from the adults and into the students.

Actually, Haruka is optional, so there's not necessarily any guilt going on. Haruka does seem to go a little crazy if you're not with her though.
