When i for the first time started to watch anime, the show i watched was Clannad and Clannad: After Story around 08-09, after that i havent watched any anime that has a Drama *tag*.. Only action, war mecha superpower, basicly everything else. But after so many good reviews of this one i got to ask you folks.. Will this be a sad show like clannad? Am afraid of watching another show that will break my heart

So can i watch it or should i keep on moving? :)

Thanks in advance

1. it wont break your heart like clannad.

2. but i cant promise thet you wont feel sad because of a certain reason.

I cant tell you more without spoilering it XD It has a fine ending but it is not like clannad so dont worry.

So was that an ogre? Or a karmic demon? Not sure of the difference but it has to be one of them. That was quite the cliffhanger, things are really intense.

It could be Maria since they referred to her as "her".
I just feel sorry for that lady. She is just sweet. I am sure she will die.

Creepy. So another Fiend for the first time in however many years that it's been since the last one.

I'm a little confused why they didn't use their Cantus to run away though. Given that we've seen how they can float with it, surely they'd all have been able to fly the fuck away before they got slaughtered?
Even had they not learned how to fly (but who wouldn't wanna fly?) then could just power their feet to take giant leaps / strides to get away faster.

Either way, it was a somewhat more tense episode. It had kinda lost the creepy factor since the early episodes.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

So aside from the Queerat Rebellion, a Fiend had come but if every one is accounted for in the villages then it's a human from outside the barrier. The only ones we explicitly know outside the barrier but currently know nothing of status are those two, so... crap. >_<

It's Maria isn't it? She probably go mad crazy because Mamoru died or something.

Anyway, the animation is always superb in every episode! Wow, this is like the best animation in an anime I've watched other than the over the top light colored No Game No Life.

Great episode. I find it funny so many people keep avoiding the obvious, Maria is not dead!
Guys, Saki already gave us many hints before that Maria would kill many people, she is the fiend.
I m reading this thread and thinking people must be really dumb... even the ED is hinting to Maria, seriously...

It's either Maria, Mamoru (hence "he" in the Portuguese translation) or their child.

Like finally, someone is using his brains. Thank you sir.

Then you have missed out alot of shows, I can name a few that have even better animation, Gurren Lagann for once.
That said Shinsekai Yori animation is excelent when it needs to be.

Just when I was wondering why that many people said it gets awesome after episode 16/17, here it is xD *wham episode*
And I even liked episodes up to 15-16 (and thought 17 and 18 were a bit boring).

But this...kept me on the edge of a seat xD

Night of O. Ep 19.

Plot: Saki and Satoru team up with a small group to investigate a hospital. It all goes to hell as the group and survivors are picked off one by one by queer rats and...that which should not be allowed. Saki and Satoru are all that remained...but they are being followed.

Character: Satoru has been killing it these eps. That battle knowledge is comin in handy here. Kinda wish Saki would show off more too.

And holy shit was that O terrifying.

Animation/sound: The lack of ost and slow footsteps enhance the creep factor. Those last five minutes were terrifying to watch unfold.

5/5. They got 99 problems and the Ogre is a Big One.

Oh dang, this episode was really suspenseful. The Fiend is probably the one helping out the queerats ... though how they got to cooperate is beyond me. Maybe she's Maria and Mamoru's child? That would be why they weren't found by the Board and they could have tried to teach her how to use Cantus. Although I'm not entirely sure if that would have worked without mantras and stuff? Either way the tension in this episode was great, I wanted to shout at them all just to leave already!!! We don't know why those three were left alive, but judging from the preview the villages are gonna get destroyed next episode >_<

Heh, I thought that leader was a scaredy cat but turns out in the end he sacrificed his life.

Seems the queerats got the upperhand here.

Seems Saki forgot that there's a death feedback.

I wonder why they didn't just unleash the Copycat to help in this, or a Blowdog would be better but it's a question whether they can control it or not.

Ok that was not fair to end the episode like that. I mean holy hell that was a eerie closing to that episode. It was a very thriller like episode and very intense.

I can't wait for the demon's identity to be confirmed and that bastard queerrat to get what's coming to him.

What a dramatic & thrilling twist! Didn't imagine the development this way. Poor those who dropped the series early on. They should've waited for this episode.


There was no real good reason to drop this show anyway...



Lots of reasons to drop this show.
It was a real drag until episode 17/18.
I would have dropped this show if I didn't read about how it gets better in the end.
Due to bad 2/3 of the show it won't get a better score than 6 or 7.

Holy shit, this episode was the creepiest and most horrifying of all. I couldn't stop shivering even after it ended. It was really a bad idea to see this in the dark in the middle of the night with a storm outside, but I still loved every minute of it. Satoru was impressive here, very smart and useful. And dat cliffhanger at the end.




I want to know what it is,

Ok, at first I thought it's maria for sure, but then the head said that they did a DNA test on the bone and made sure she is dead. but now it seems like the ogre being her is the only possible answer.

so... the monster rats somehow faked the bones perfectly, and I have no fucking clue how.

still though what a great episode.

What the fuck is happening? @_@

This was probably the first time in this series, perhaps one of the first times ever while watching anime, that I felt tensed and anxious about anything happening. The dread is real.

Well, this was kind of a long time coming considering how poorly this society was held together. But it definitely sucks that Saki is so caught up in it. If ever anyone needed some main character powers it's Saki and it's now.

Can’t remember the last time I got this anxious and tense watching an anime. This was a proper horror episode and I think I see now why the show’s score is 8+. And the “entity” in this situation… I wouldn’t say he’s not scary but we’ve already known about the Fiend. So the element of fear from not knowing is not there. But the show manages to make it scary anyway.

Also, the head of the Ethics Committee confirmed Maria and Mamoru’s death through all the dental records and DNA tests. So are they really dead ? Or did she help cover up their escape as well ?

What an episode, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. The tension felt very real. Most likely, it's an ogre because it's clearly a case of 'Fox in the Henhouse' syndrome, similar to the case of K described by Tomiko. Bruhh, looks like the last 8 episodes are all going to be intense af, and I can't wait to get more of it!

5/5 episode.
