So which Japanese Anime or film did you recently watch?
Sounds like classic Phantasy Star lore to me, wherein the three planets of the system form a dimensional seal that imprison an entity called "The
Profound Darkness". The seal was weakened by the summoning of Dark Falz by a religious cult of some of the elites in the government. Since then, the
seal weakened once every 1,000 years - allowing for the avatar of Darkness to be unleashed to destroy the seal. With the destruction of the first
planet Palma in PSII, the seal was nearly destroyed. Civilization was nearly eradicated by the termination of Mother Brain who controlled the
government and all planetary maintenance and communication NWO style. The population was soft and weak, and the loss of this caretaker coupled with
orbital bombardment by the debris of Palma killed off over 90% of the population. The heroes you play are killed defeating the Earthlings (us) - alien
invaders who set up the Mother Brain system and go down in history as reviled terrorists.
In PSIV, the heroes discover a hidden fourth planet on a highly elliptical orbit which is home to sentinels of the Great Light (a loose reference to
Nibiru possibly) who provide them with the means to survive the Profound Darkness's dimension and strike at the heart of evil.
