Shinsekai Yori

I have no words....i think i'm going to cry.

A complex story with heartbreaking twists and turns, and the ultimate question arises. Would you believe in what was taught? Or would you change your fate with your own hands?

I just finished this anime and i can almost feel my heart bursting with all sorts of emotions. This is one of the most truly complex and imaginative series of 2012. Every episode will leave you at the edge of your seat, and i can tell you that something. Always. Happens.

I love how they make use of soundtracks in the anime, and if the scenes didn't evoke much emotions in you, the music certainly will. An absolute must watch for any anime fan, with a solid plot and beautiful animation, you will never ever forget this series.

In a world where misbehaving children are annihilated, what would you do? I believe that this show deeply explores the human minds. Tyranny, greed, fear and love. You want it, Shinsekai yori has it.

And amidst all this, the children of group 1 mature as they encounter various obstacles which threaten their lives, and their friendship grows stronger. Same sex relationships are also a vital part of this story and i think it is also similar to the relationships of same-sex couples in modern Japan.

There are many twists to this story, one of which is the relationship between humans and human-subspecies called queerats. How far would you go to ensure your species' survival?

I really enjoyed the 25 episodes and i wished it was longer! I have also read many reviews for this anime on other blogs such as THE ANIME MAN (wordpress) and etc. I can say that they helped me truly enjoy this series. Although it was confusing and sometimes heart-wrenching, i do not regret watching it. It is definitely an underrated anime.

Most people drop it after seeing the elements of yaoi and yuri embedded in several episodes, but i will push you to continue because you must not miss this. This is also one of those depressing animes which waste no time in enveloping you in its dark atmosphere. I nearly cried after watching a few of the episodes.

Now onto the review!

I ship them so much it hurts!! Go go Maria and Saki!!

Plot: Mind-boggling and fantastic. 10/10

Characters: They mature as the show goes on, and start to change in ways no one expected. Maria and Saki's childhood is really really bittersweet. ;_; 8/10

Graphics: I don't know much about animation nut this one was really top notch. 9/10

Music: They help the plot move and can either envoke joy, fury or sadness. 10/10

I would like to confess that i did cry a little during the last episode. *coughs awkwardly*. I feel like crying again whenever i think of Saki and maria. Episode 16 that scene!! ;_;

Noooo i'm gonna cry!!!!
