At first glance, the worlds in Psycho Pass and Shin Sekai Yori couldn’t be any further apart. One has a megalopolis where humans have come to rely on machines so much that a central system now dictates everything they do. The other has people living in villages with wooden houses and no electricity. Taking a closer [...]

Add Shin Sekai Yori to the list of series with build-up episodes from the past week. The past week has brought with it either dramatic developments or build-ups.  It’s that time of the season where a lot of series take the foot off the accelerator and regroup for one last time.  For Shin Sekai Yori, … Continue reading »The post Shin Sekai Yori – 22 appeared first on Anime Aura.

「東京」 (Toukyou) "Tokyo" If this is supposed to be the stage for Shin Sekai Yori's climax, well then, I can think of few other settings better than wasteland Tokyo.

Now that we seem to have our hands on the full extent of Yakomaru's nefarious plan, it's hard to see much hope for the remaining humans in the face of the Monster Rat rebellion. That said, not all on the Monster Rats are taking part in this revolution, and this episode reintroduces us to Kiroumaru, who still seems to be very much on the human's side, even going as far as to save Inui from the

For fans of the Shin Sekai Yori series (especially those that wish to see a translation of the source material), North American publisher Vertical Inc. has expressed interest in releasing a translated version of the Shin Sekai Yori novels. Due to the cost and time requirements for such an undertaking however, they are unwilling to do so unless enough people express interest. ...More details after the break.

The search for the most environmental friendly biological weapon is on! Psychobuster as it is called, is simply a strain of anthrax that has been heavily modified to specifically target humans with cantus abilities and it even has a 1-2 … Continue reading →

It felt as though A LOT happened during this episode, when it was actually more the case that what did happen, happened very quickly! The pace of Shin Sekai Yori in its entirety has been kind of erratic. To start with, it took until episode 4 for our characters to face any kind of serious [...]

This episode was mostly a setup showing the journey to Tokyo (which looks beautiful, by the way). Saki and Satoru escape from the Queerats and battle monsters. The party is supplemented by a library and Kiroumaru. Pretty standard adventure fare. … Continue reading →

The power of the Psychobuster must be harnessed to defeat the fiend! The minoshiro mentioned contagiousness when it was describing it…if they’re not careful, they might just inadvertently wipe out all of humanity in the process. That’s assuming they weren’t already planning to do that from the start. Not sure what’s going to happen…everything in [...]

Just a short post today. I have so many deadlines over the next few weeks that I’ve hardly been away from my keyboard. So when I give myself a break from all the essay writing, doing even more writing doesn’t fill me with much joy! The last few episodes I’ve really found myself wondering: why [...]

Shin Sekai Yori 22 has our heroes going on a little field trip. But first there’s some exposition to get through. The letter Saki’s mom left her tells of a fiend-killing agent, though to me it sounds like it’ll kill just about anyone who inhales it. Well, it’s a convenient weapon to have. Now that [...]

There seems to be no let-up in the Monster Rats' invasion of Kamisu 66, via a number of innovative and downright sneaky plots to overthrow their human masters.  Surely they can't hope to challenge Kaburagi Shisei, however? Although they do surround him, it's very much clear that the Monster Rats have no chance against the town's protector... but what about if they had an Ogre to back them up?

Not much action in this episode, but still a huge WHAM in the terms of the stuff the anime revealed. Seems my theory about Maria’s kid being akki was spot on. I totally feel bad for Kaburagi Shisei, being the … Continue reading →

Now that I’m no longer behind on Shin Sekai Yori, I realise how inattentive I’ve been with the series. At this point in the series, I realise how little attention I’ve paid in the previous episodes.  Actually that’s an inaccurate statement.  What I should say is, I haven’t paid the series enough attention.   This … Continue reading »The post Shin Sekai Yori – 21 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Aside from their violence and abduction of infants (a pretty big aside) I have to sympathize with the Queerats. The humans have been effectively using them as slaves. Now the tables are turned, with their infants born into slave labor, … Continue reading →
