Saki has been joined by Satoru in their mission to retrieve and bring back Mari and Mamoru with the promise that no harm will come to them - as you might expect, tracking them down could well prove to be decidedly more difficult than it seems on paper. For starters, the missing pair seem to have done a particularly good job of covering their tracks since Satoru and Saki left them behind, meaning

It was clear to me from the moment the kids met the rainbow library demon that Shin Sekai Yori was a show about the Progressive Ideology taken to logical extremes – I made a post about it a few months ago.  At that point, I figured that the show was taking a stance against progressivism – [...]

Sorry, I fell way behind on this. It’s such a good show, but even better when you don’t have to wait a week for the next episode. A Wonderland of Snow First off: snow is awesome. Every anime should have … Continue reading →

Damn you Squeara. You just had to come back didn’t you. I thought we were done with all this monster-rat-mayhem after episode 7 but now the Robber Fly colony is back with a vengeance. They’ve greatly grown in number since last we saw them and even have their own parliament system in place, which of all [...]

Saki and Satoru pairing buildup and tension in this episode, but the main attraction in this are the queerats. From the last episode preview, Squealer sounded more menacing than usual and true enough, he’s the star of this episode. He … Continue reading →

Anyone who knows me knows that I love discussing the true nature of us humans; it’s a most fascinating topic! According to the Bible we are, at our cores, not particularly nice beings, and any behaviour that seems to contradict that can often be drawn up to psychological processes- forgive me for being so pragmatic!!

Wow…the bakenuzumi sure work fast…even with the time skip, they’ve developed a lot. The time skips really have distorted perception of time, though…yeesh. Things aren’t looking good for Maria and Mamoru…either they’ll live together in exile forever or they’ll die together. Personally, I’m running under the theory that the main reason for this whole chase [...]

Well it appears I may be right (something I always enjoy) about Mamoru! I suggested he was the next most likely character to become a fiend, postulating that his skittish nature, and fear of being eliminated by the Ethics Committee for being the ‘weakest link’, as it were, could cause him to lash out, using [...]

It felt as though this holiday hiatus would drag on forever but thankfully things are back on schedule. First up is the latest episode of Shin Sekai Yori which continues to impress. This show does a great job at setting up questions and mystery, answering some things, then making you question some more. The reveals [...]

The missing Mamoru has been found, but given what he has to say about the reason for his flight from the town what next for our group of youngsters in this week's Shin Sekai Yori. Although Maria opts to stay behind with Mamoru, who staunchly refuses to return home for obvious reasons, both Satoru and Saki realise that they have no choice but to go back to the town if only to find out what awaits

As I pointed out during my last Shin Sekai Yori post, I absolutely love the episodes dedicated to exposition. Not only do they answer some of the many, many questions raised by the show, they do so in a way that raises even more questions, which really encourages you to think. This week we learnt [...]

「雪華」 (Yuki Hana) "Snowflakes" If this is the prelude to what we can expect in Shin Sekai Yori's second half, there's probably little worry about any drop in quality. This was a meaty episode that threw some really interesting game-changers our way.

It’s really weirdly awesome that Saki and Maria would engage in goodbye sex in the cold, I guess in the future there’s always a reason for sex. Saki follows Satoru back to town only to be interrogated by the Board … Continue reading →

We’re en route to another climactic mystery and these two episodes have got the ball rolling in the right direction. For me these episodes were about Saki.  I do realise that she’s been the main character all this time, but now that she’s been given the role as the peacemaker for the Education/Ethics committee she’s … Continue reading »The post Shin Sekai Yori – 13, 14 appeared first on Anime Aura.
