My focus is really more on the story of how their society was built, as well as the origin of the queerats and other creatures and their history, and the suspense of what will happen to them when they go home after knowing the truth. There seems to be a time skip so I can assume that their arrival was safe. However, I'm very curious to what the narrator was saying as well as what the adults were thinking.

But anyway, I do hope they don't introduce some yaoi here since no matter what, it'll still be disturbing. According to Baka-Updates, the manga is tagged with "Yuri as a Subplot" but so far, no yaoi. Ahhh... Hopefully, hopefully...

@Walk

Don't feed the troll. You are just embarrassing yourself.


Anyway, pretty good episode 4/5. I am just disappointing that those other kids got through this battlefield 100% safe even though they got no power.

Regarding the preview, is the Yaoi stuff actually in the novel or the animator just trolling us?

That preview completely killed most of my interest for this anime. Just when it started getting good.

If we're going to be seeing shit like that, then I'm going to have to drop this, especially if it might be a regular occurrence since it looks like they may be in a relationship(?).

Yea, no thanks. Yuri I'm fine with, but if there's brokeback mountain shit, fuck that.


If you're trying to sound like a close-minded idiot then you've got it down pat. Because of one scene you proclaim you will drop this show that, let me remind you, you implied you have rooted interest in. I don't understand how your intolerant brain works.

I felt as if some of the scene was cut or just weird sequence. But luckily, I'm able to understand the episode unlike the previous few, where I had to look through all the threads' pages to find the answers to my queries.

Hahahaha I'm SURE they're not gonna be ridiculously graphic about it. They're probably gonna do it episode 5 style (the whole scene between Satoru and Saki getting all hot and bothered), just a little more... intense. Penises won't be flaunted all over the place.

At least I don't think so. :'O

I would be definitely surprised if they were. If they do then... whoops?

Good episode. I like the cliffhangers in this show so far. I have a feeling I know what's gonna happen, and I'm curious to see if I'm right.

I found this episode to be quite nicely conclusive only to open up to more terrible things the village is about to do to them. I hence follow with random interesting and positive comments to the community’s interest.

The beginning in the spoiler
had a very nice touch to the group getting the rock and falling out of place. It was well done despite being static it showed at least the group of rats in their nasty plight being hit back by their own rocks. While Saki’s fear and scream was done properly.

The babies in the spoiler
looked rather not cute but more disgusting even for babies. I don’t know but I could not accept any of it despite the object being a baby state.

The following part,

Was the most action pumped but sadly in surprises only as the problem got quickly solved by Satoru in the spoiler
whom sadly collapsed as it was his last power use but still he saved Kiroumaru’s life.

I really liked how the insinuation of such a close up of rather romantic values such as in the spoiler
sadly never went farther than a tease. Sadly a Saki x Satoru happening might not be too soon in terms of kisses.

I find the part in the spoiler
to be nice due to it reminding the viewer that Saki still longs for Shun’s love.

About the reunion, as things got smoothly it suddenly happens in the spoiler
OMG! ALL GROUP UP! Oh dear the joy was overwhelming there. When Saki yelled Maria (no worries my room is sound proof) I yelled MARIAAAAAA! And on MARIAAAAAAAAA! During all that meeting. I really like her as a character. It was so nostalgic. Especially the following part,

That was nice to see them converse with such reactions.

In thee end I liked how the interactions and goodness of the group continue in the spoiler
whom Shun got his powers back I presume from the fire rising up suddenly?

About thee end of the episode, it’s easy to see in the spoiler
of the gloomy atmosphere looming around to show of nothing but problems from the villagers. I strongly plea the kids pretend to have forgotten all from the fake shit. However it seems from the looks of Kiroumaru that he got orders to get rid of them. Could spell trouble.

About the preview, I have a little list of that since much changes occur in the next arc.
  • Looks like Shun and Satoru in the spoiler
    are older but also more into BL? Well the homosexual aspect of the series.

  • OK in the spoiler
    PLEASE do not tell me Saki saw Shun/Satoru doing it? Please! I am really worried why is she like that and what did she see in the bushes?

  • Can’t wait to see Maria’s talk with Saki in the spoiler
    does it also mean I might be detecting some changes in their relationship?

  • Looks like Shun in the spoiler
    has the rather homo looks? Or is it not? Well his dress and fashion seem to indicate something there at least to me.

  • Finally it all goes back to Saki in the spoiler
    WTF is she fussing so much about? Shun’s love change to Satoru and the homo stuff? Well certainly she should accept it if his love interest changed and does not undo itself.
In conclusion is it safe to say the following?

Saki caused the war. Her rescue was in fact 2 factions rescue and one faction rebelled against the other colony therefore Saki’s crime was judged there and the village hates her for it. Could it be due to that notion the village hates Saki and the friend associated with her? This is still to see in the next episode but 14 years time?

There's a difference between keeping an open mind, and talking about dicks going up dude's asses. I have had gay friends in high school and had no issue. Why? Because they kept it to themselves. If they want to fuck each other in the ass, they can do so privately.

When you start doing it publicly, or in the shows case, on-screen, then I start getting uncomfortable. I could deal with the characters in the show being in a relationship - just keep the intimacy between dudes off-screen. Yuri I'm fine with. Yea, double standards are a bitch, but as a straight male I prefer pussy over dicks.


So the problem here is your underexposure to homosexual activity. Just watch a few homo scenes to desensitise yourself to it so you won't get grossed out anymore. Simple as that. Maybe next week's episode of SSY will set you on the right path. Look at it as having one less weakness as a person, 'cause right now it appears you can't handle teh gay.

Stop bitching brah. I sat through the stupid, sloppy gay blowjob scene that HBO decided to stick in Game of Thrones because I liked the show. And you can bet your ass that shinsekai homosex wont be as graphic as that.
Difference is they weren't the main characters in the show and were given little screen time together.

Here, they are the main characters so if there's a relationship you can bet your ass it will be recurring throughout unless one of them dies.

I'll have to pass on that. I'm not going to 'desensitize' myself for one show.

And honestly.. weakness? I don't see how being disgusted at two guys fucking each other is a weakness. I see that as a strength, because if I ever see that shit I know to turn the other way and gtfo of there, not sit there and stare.

Your logic makes no sense. If I'm grossed out by poop, should I desensitize myself to it by looking at my own shit? Should I bask in its smell as well? Maybe take some shit and put it all over my body and becoming one with my shit so it could set me on the right path?

But hey man, if the thought of dropping the soap in prison sounds dandy to you, that's all on you. Whatever floats your boat. Desensitize away.

I don't like it either if I see guys kissing or having sex. I'm a straight guy too so it's normal. True Blood, Game of Thrones, they both have gay stuff in it but I simply tolerate it like most people. Besides, I doubt that they'll show much other than gazes into each others eyes and stuff like that.

besides, shounen ai/yaoi isn't even the theme of this show. it's a very small aspect, so either learn to deal with it or just move on.

It was sort shoved to us when it hinted to it in the preview.

Still, I don't think that that stuff will take up a major part of the next few episodes so this should die down eventually. Til then, prepare yourself for the next couple of episodes.

This is my first time posting here aside from my one post from ep 1.

I've stuck with it up to now. I havn't yet fully decided to drop it - right now I'm concerned if it will be a regular occurrence between the two characters. We'll see next ep.

If it's an issue in every single ep discussion, then I wasn't there for it since I havn't even opened this forum since ep 1.

Honestly though, if you don't like it, then stop replying to it, and if you reply to it, then stop replying with the same drivel and try and spark a discussion so you can both come to a consensus. If that's not possible, then ignore it.

i applaud you for having "stuck with it up to now", it must have been truly difficult. but you would be doing everyone here a favor if you just dropped it already, as you will inevitably do anyway after the next episode, if you're just going to continue making bigoted comments. and making these types of comments is NOT OKAY.

This was great, the lion-like commander is actually a good guy, but I wonder what most will do when you lose your cantus and therefore are no longer a god. Will they really kill you?
The end felt like a giant cliffhanger, but that preview made it look as if nothing happened.

Just a few hours that I was way, and FIVE pages of comments? Let me guess what it is about... of course no prize to me for guessing it right.

Anway, I advise not to take any troll or flame bait from people like Naxrrhid and Yvese. Arguing with people who freak out at any display of male homosexual intimacy is absolutely pointless because those people are biased the core anyway. Any merit of the work would count as zilch and nothing just because of a depiction of such sexuality.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Are you absolutely certain of this or is this just speculation?
Absolutely certain as it is how it is depicted in the novel. It is not something only disclosed later so I think it has to be made absolutely clear to all anime watchers so that they do not keep watching the anime under some incorrect understanding.

All this build up...gotta admit i don't care for the Yaoi garbage that is being implicated left and right but if the story actually matches the hype that the build up implies then i will look over it, but that said the timeskip seems promising, and if they must throw scenes like the one in the preview in there i hope they actually give it reason, because while it may have just been me that scene with Satoru and Saki in that crappy animated episode seemed misplaced to me.
I don't see why if it is yaoi then it must be garbage. I think in Shinsekai Yori there is already a good explanation why yaoi/yuri and promiscuity are common. As for why put it in the preview, perhaps precisely to give watchers a heads-up so that people who have not read the novels will not freak out when they see that scene.

The anime gets it pretty close to the novel for the part where Shun got his power back. Shun is a very intelligent boy.

Getting scared what will happen to them when the querrat catch their canoe,when the adult waiting for them, when squelera/traitor began questioning satoru power, when the traitor show satoru & saki location and when blowdog blow up.
Satoru so badass that he still can think calm in such situation. Normal person won't last in 5 minute


The preview almost make me puck. But i won't drop it (yet)

I'll have to pass on that. I'm not going to 'desensitize' myself for one show.

And honestly.. weakness? I don't see how being disgusted at two guys fucking each other is a weakness. I see that as a strength, because if I ever see that shit I know to turn the other way and gtfo of there, not sit there and stare.

Your logic makes no sense. If I'm grossed out by poop, should I desensitize myself to it by looking at my own shit? Should I bask in its smell as well? Maybe take some shit and put it all over my body and becoming one with my shit so it could set me on the right path?

But hey man, if the thought of dropping the soap in prison sounds dandy to you, that's all on you. Whatever floats your boat. Desensitize away.


There is nothing wrong with my logic. Your fear of homosex stuff is a weakness in that it prevents you from enjoying works of media that you would otherwise enjoy. Your counterexample doesn't really count for much at all. If you really wanna run with it, maybe you should actually do that if you want to get into scat porn, or if you're preparing for an escape from Shawshank... The point is, being desensitised is advantageous if your sensitivity is preventing you from doing or feeling something positive.

Boku no Pico was probably your gateway anime huh?

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

Thanks, that really clears up what was quite a confusing scene. I, for one, came out of it with the wrong impression of what had happened.

I don't know what the big fuss is over the homosexual scenes is about, it probably doesn't even play a big role, be a little more open minded.

I'm glad we're finally at the time skip but I think some of their character designs are worse. Mainly Saki and Shun.

Good episode, although I thought it was a bit convenient that all of them could get their powers back.

Also not really looking forward to the time skip since I generally dislike those but I'll wait and see how it plays out story wise.
Ara ara.

Perhaps you did not read my posts in the previous ep. thread. I do not want to write the whole long post again, but suffice to say:

- It is no try out. The society is permissive in terms of homosexuality, promiscuity and underaged sex, and it even comes as part of the education they have at school and home. And there is good reason for it, and this has been mentioned by the Library in an early episode. Only heterosexual intercourse has strict rules, perhaps because of the pregnancy concern.

- It is never a major or even minor part in the novel. Each sex scene lasts a page or two, and there is yaoi, yuri and even the hetero kind in the novel. It is explicit in the novel but it never goes overboard like in a full-blown erotic novel. It serves both to illustrate the different social and sexual mores of a world 1000 years from our present world, as well as serve as events that explore the evolving relationship between the characters. It is not there just for the sake of it.

Well, I would think Saturo x Shun will be important considering what I heard... that they are in love with each other. Is it true?

Great episode, glad it managed to regain its usual quality
Looks like from the ending there are still so much mystery hidden
Kiroumaru is nice, I like him
Time skip next episode
Adult character design, I'm not sure if it looks good..
