| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What a tense and intense fight !! I have thought the war ends in this episode and the last episode will be wholly for the aftermath, but it is not to be. Anyway, the sakuga/animation looks particularly good this time I think: |
| 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. |
| I really wonder how they are going to end this next episode. The preview shows Saki looking at a field in what appears to be a classroom so I'm assuming she'll be fine, unless that's a red herring. Anyway, awesome episode. I'll miss the minoshiro that Saki threw. It was really cute. ;u; |
Time to fucking kill the Fiend. At least I hope.Hmm, episode was decent. The face of a demon: Well, I hope the finale will have the Fiend put into his place at last. Hopefully. |
 |
| Wow, this episode flew by. It's been a long time since I've really wanted the next episode right at this moment. Let's see what they can do. Amazing tension as usual. |

| Holy hell that tunnel scene was intense the whole way through, and the music added to the effect wonderfully. Satoru gets a ton of points for this episode, standing face to face with the 'fiend' in order to protect Saki, and nearly sacrificing himself to end it there and give her a chance to escape. But in the same way Satoru refuses to let Saki die, she refuses to let him die. They don't want to be alone. Beautiful display of realistic human emotions, especially in the face of something so terrible that will drastically affect the entire world. Not sure what the solution Shun helped Saki think of is gonna be, but I expect a good one and I'm sure we won't be disappointed. Also, I love how Shun is able to communicate with Saki through this, and his consciousness didn't just disappear inside of her after she remembered him. Good writing right there. |

| Great episode. I didn't really like Saki's decisions this episode however but it looks like the final episode will finish off this show well. |
 |
| Holy shit at the tension. I couldn't sit still in my seat when they were being chased. Friggin' cliffhanger at the end, though... Can't wait until the next ep! |
| Hmmm I wonder what Saki will do; half of me tells me she's going to hug him... |
     |
| Saki could've easily pushed Satoru back... Anyway, I really liked how the tension built through the episode. I don't want it to end ;_; And I want to know... |

| 'Fiend' looks like a she to me. And I do hope it ends with her still alive ; ; I doubt death feedback exists for those raised without the rituals of the human society...wasn't it learned and not born with? |

wheresthehandle said: It is possible and perhaps they keep it deliberately ambiguous. At the end it really does not matter what gender the kid is at its age (9). As far as the physical representation is concerned, I like how the kid is drawn in the anime. It looks much better than I imagined when I read the novel.Nah, if my math is right |

It's time she makes herself useful...Saki is very idealistic, wanting to help Maria and Mamoru's child, yet at the same time, she would be risking all their lives doing it. Whatever her plan is, I have a feeling that it's not going to work. |
| that kid seems to be a girl Go Kiroumaru! Kill that kid! That kid will get the death feedback if he/she counters another Queerat! Imagine if Shun survived he will be awesome. |

| The tension is always so perfect, can't wait until next week, |
 |
| I'm sad to say that I'm pretty heart broken as to the direction of this series. I'm glad that there wasn't a epic plot twist involving Kiroumaru. But... I'm confused why Satoru didn't experience any feedback since he obviously had ill intent to another human. Also, it was pretty obvious that although Saki was trying to destroy the psychobuster, she did in fact hurt the kid. At the moment, I feel like there are numerous ways to circumvent the feedback which bothers me. The death feedback should be further explained since it plays a vital part in this anime. Also, although I'm a fan of this anime, I'm kind of disappointed how this series turned out if there aren't any more twists in the final episode. After the encounter with the 'fiend' I thought the finale was going to be something along the lines of Saki figuring out epic plan X to defeat the 'fiend' and save the world. But instead we got... The plan is actually a disease that wipes out PK user which is located in this random far away place that no one goes to. Oh yeah, as a bonus only one vile is preserved in a secret safe after the 1000+ years... The 'fiend' is not actually a fiend, he/she is a human thinking that it is a queerrat so as a result it probably only has the feedback towards queerrats (it's own kind). And Saki's plan is probably trying to beat the 'fiend' with Kiroumaru... For me, this anime had high potential and so much suspense built up; but if it ends how I think it it will, I feel like the creator has dropped the ball and made a potential epic series into an above average one. |
| The next episode needs to come out already. What a cliffhanger. Part of me feels pretty stupid not being able to predict what's gonna happen next, but hey it adds to the suspense. |

MelbShaw said: A few episodes on retrieving the psychobuster. Saki destroys it. Okay. Yup, exactly what I thought Finale next week, hopefully the can create an amazing ending. I wonder what plan Saki came up with. |
| I must say watching Shinsekai Yori every week really always leaves a big cliffhanger, and this is of course the biggest one so far. Even the preview had nothing really to say/show as one would expect. |

| Aw shit that cliffhanger. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ And then that preview, this will be a very, very, very long week. This episode was epic and even after his story I still like Kiroumaru as a character, he's just the best non-human character out there, not a single doubt about that. I can't wait for the next episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This was just amazing. Hard to believe people rated this a 3/5. Then again, I have a biased love for this anime. |
 |
| Man the suspense x.x Ready to see what Saki's plan is. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout most of the series |
| Uhh. I can't believe that the Psychobuster would just go and be useless. Can't wait to see what is Saki's plan. Moving on the final episode! |

I think, Saki will manage to convince the kid that he is, in fact human, and son of Maria... I'm concern for the kid though, I mean, if he realize that he's human.... Wouldn't death feedback really hurt him? |

| The show did a good job on making us speculate and distrust Kiroumaru for a second, then he turned out to be trustful anyway, good tension. The kid sure has long wavy hair, I like the ambiguous gender, it doesn't really matter if it's a boy or girl. I kinda laughed when Saki threw the Mino-shiro at the kid, couldn't she have picked a rock instead. Good bye Mino-shiro nobody wanted to listing to you anyway xD Psychobuster was wasted, three episodes in Tokyo Hell wasted, pfffhh, if only Saki explained to Satoru about Shun, then he would have understand her better. |

I really enjoyed this anime, such a crazy ride just like Psycho pass. He is really an amazing trap but judging by the dirty rags he wears you might wanna give him a bath first. |

| LOL, I don't know why I didn't think about using Kiroumaru before that. Anyway, very good episode as usual. |
| So with the final episode next week, will it have included everything from the Novel? |
 |
| Great build up for the final episode next week! This episode was full of tension and I cannot wait to see what that preview will be for the final episode. This is going to be soo good! I just hope it also done properly and not rushed as well though. Well Saki retrieved the Psychobuster last episode, and in this episode she destroys it because she doesn't want to be left alone and has already lost most of her closest friend. Though understandable that Satorou is one badass guy, we can let the Fiend\Human live for a bit longer! I already thought that the mirror trick wouldn't work in this episode, but I hope they will somehow get through to Fiend\Human in the next episode. ^^ Kiramarou didn't backstab Saki and Satorou, thankfully. Though he did reveal us why he actually went to Tokyo. As expected he wanted the Psychobuster as well just to protect his closest ones and hi colony. Though I have a bad feeling he will bite the dust in the next episode. ;_; This show is amazing, can't wait for the next episode already! |

| if the fiend sees the humans as his enemies,he will see the queerats as his allies,what does it mean? quite simple- in case the fiend kills kiromarou,death feedback will be activated and he will die,thats why kiromarou is the key,and thats why the fact that the fiend isnt really a fiend is that important. |
| What doesn't make any sense to me is why they're going through so much effort to kill this kid. The reason nobody can kill it with their powers isn't because they just can't, it's because they'll experience the feedback afterwards and that'll kill them, right? Nobody seems to become deathly ill when they're thinking about killing this guy with the psychobuster, so just having bad thoughts about them doesn't seem to do anything that would physically stop you from killing the person with your psychic powers. So why are all these people willing to sacrifice themselves so they can get the psychobuster when in reality only one person would need to be sacrificed. This would all be over if just one person would explode the fiend real quick, and die from the feedback. It doesn't make any sense that everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for all these other reasons, but nobody is willing to die doing that. |
