| Deep story. And the philosophical questions and ideas brought does make you think alot. Like everyone had their faults, and no one was really in the right. For one, it never occurred to me that the Queerats were actually humans. It does explain alot. It's just a wonderful story, really, very insightful and clever. |
| Shinsekai Yori: mind=blown And that about sums it up quite thoroughly. |
| Shinsekai yori made me think alot about various themes. Really enjoyed this series. 9/10 |
| Ooh. Just as I expected. The queerats are the old humans. They cleared everything in the end. Woo. It was a decent watch. |

Nequam said: I generally agree. So in summary : As for your next part of the post, it got a bit confusing to read in the middle so I may not have read everything correctly. But I have doubts about some of the assumptions you stated. - I do not remember any mention that DFB was introduced to non-Cantus or there was an attempt to do that. I am not sure about the reason. It may be in the novel and I have forgotten, but I honestly do not remember. It may have to be the specific circumstances the Scientists found themselves in, which drove them to put all their effort into reducing the ability to commit violence to other human as it could be their biggest concern. Perhaps they were sponsored by those in power (by that time the ruling class must all be PK human). So when the issue of non-PK human can then kill PK-human because non-PK human does not DFB, the ruling class chose instead to make non-PK human not human any more rather and allow the non-PK human to share their noble DFB. Of course this is all speculation but I can imagine this as a possible scenario why non-PK human did not get DFB at the end but instead relegated to the rank of beasts. - It is clear that DFB is not limited to using PK, as I have said repeatedly in the past. The rite of passage in which Saki was tested for her DFB by the priest who used a knife to hurt himself is already proof that DFB is not limited to PK usage. - All kids are born with DFB, which is not related to whether he can use PK or not. The question with DFB is mainly how well it works. It has to work because at the end the human society always lives in fear of the emergence of a fiend (which in fact is just a human without DFB). So any kid without DFB has to be eliminated. - I am not sure where it was said that a fiend "gets endorphins whenever they kill thus causing 100% impairment". So far we only see one clear case history of a fiend and his killing spree was triggered by some mental illness condition, but we were not told if his condition was caused by his fiend status or the other way round or the two are independent of each other. Actually I could imagine in the past when DFB check was not done so thoroughly, when the age beyond which a kid is not to be eliminated was still low, there might be some human without DFB but did not go on killing spree because his mental condition was good all the time and he used his PK power very carefully. > "he did not die from DFB from knowing that he killed the doctor, so the non-perceiving threat consistency theory (that fiends perceive everyone as non-X) remains to be false, leading us to require an explanation for fiends for DFB to be consistent." Not sure what you are trying to get at here. Basically the fiend did not have functioning DFB, so he just acted like the old time before DFB appeared -- he just used his PK to kill any human whenever he wanted to, whatever his perception was. > Also PK users always leak aura, and they genetically affect everyone around them (this extent is magnified with False Demons). Not sure how you got this idea. PK users indeed leaked power/aura but it was supposed to flow outward to area outside the village. This is why mutations seem to go on much faster than it should have been while human seems to stay the same as it is all these hundreds of years. > The explanation for DFB to remain consistent, is that these genes must have mutated in fiends when inheriting a copy. Which implies that the genes were originally inserted and left there, not that Tomoko is proactively mass genetically modifying everyones' kids concurrently. A lack of DFB or a defective DFB gene means that you get super violent as PK users were noted to be selected evolutionary for their abilities, and mass killings were not a rare incidence to say the least, thus having removed DFB may nature, PK users must be inherently violent. If the above is true, then DFB is consistent and the behavior for any abnormalities would be consistent To be honest, you lost me here. I really cannot understand what you were trying to say here. |

Nequam said: I also don't quite understand what you are trying to say here. But basically PK is supposed to be hereditary. I have a feeling that you think that this kind of insert mole gene or insert PK gene can still be done in the time of Tomiko 200 years ago or Saki at present, but the skills of this mole gene insertion were supposed to be all lost by that time.Also if PK is hereditary, and they really did wanted power in the past. There's no reason why they wouldn't remove PK genes now because Tomoko said that these consequences of having to remove said children were as a result of it being the only choice combined with DFB, so this means PK must be non-hereditary. But that makes no sense because non-PK users could have just as easily become PK users, so that suggests PK users inherit PKness probability via two PK parents. And I have to again stress that we never know if PK is purely a gene matter. The reason why some human developed PK was the biggest mystery in the world of this novel and nobody was ever able to explain why PK appeared). Of course you can argue that because PK is hereditary it must have to do with genetics etc etc, but my point is that according to the world in this novel, no scientific explanation was ever found to explain PK, how it emerges and how it passes from one generation to another. Nequam said: OK, you are not talking about the trigger, but why he kept on killing after he starts. Yes, there are all kinds of theory and in the anime two were mentioned. Basically we do not know which one is true, or even if none is the real cause, all Tomiko said is to highlight the syndrome, that once fiend starts killing he will keep on killing. 8:14-8:36 episode 12 ; Two-Hypothesis Theory for Fiends - Perceive everyone to be a threat, so they kill them all - Get endorphins from killing, so they get intoxicated with killing Nequam said: I am not sure why you said it must be defective and I do not think I said DFB is "inhibited". You mean for the "fiend"? If DFB is inhibited like you said, then that means the DFB gene must be defective |

Nequam said: Why did they put the effort through to remove non-PK people and make them moles instead? I can't understand why the author let this go unexplained. Better to massacre them than to turn them into queerats. Nequam said: If PK isn't genetic, then PKness will show up in non-PK populations anyways, which means that they wouldn't of needed to remove said population. They could have just inserted DFB. If PK is genetic (as suggested with only allowing PK users to survive), then that means they could have removed PK and prevented humans being the greatest enemies of themselves. I can think of two reasons why. 1. Same reason why we can't rid of nuclear weapons. With the non-PK humans they could have just killed most of them and changed the genome of the few remaining. Seeing how they reproduce queerats could have come from just 2 humans. Unless they were willing to massacre large numbers of PK users first, simultaneously disarming all of them of their PK may have been impractical. Even a few slipping through the cracks could prove disastrous and they would have no way to fight back since they disarmed themselves. It would oPnly hurt them unless it was 100% effective which was impossible. 2. They couldn't remove PK from their genome. We don't know how much they could actually manipulate human genes. PK is kind of obscure anyway. It randomly appeared in the year 2010, not in only 1 person but in several different people around the world and unless we assume that it's hereditary it doesn't make sense. |

Nequam said: But as I said, the aura leaked by humans is supposed to flow out of village. Karma Demon's case is he has no control over his leak and so change everything, from non-living objects to living organisms, around him.In episode 12, we see that Tomoko says K.Demons genetically alter everyone's DNA around them via aura Later on we know that all users leak aura but the effects remain negligible, but K. Demons seem to cause "bad spills" |

Nequam said: Assuming you are talking about Fiend here. I do not see why you can draw any conclusion that DFB gene is or is not defective for human if fiend is a human with no functioning DFB. I don't think things are this simple, like "DFB is all in one gene, and if it is inherited then everyone will have DFB working just fine" All we know is DFB are passed down and inherited but we are not sure whether we can even isolate a DFB gene using our current technology and understanding of genetics. It goes back to what I said earlier, we are speculating over the science in a far future world, and trying to apply our science understanding to this future science is tricky. At the end the situation we have isIf DFB is inhibited like you said, then that means the DFB gene must be defective - If DFB gene is defective, then they can screen all individuals for fiendness traits - Thus no need of "bad cats" - Tomoko did not assert such a theory, thus we cannot be sure if DFB is genetic - But DFB is genetic as stated in earlier episodes of scientists trying to come up with a solution, and every child in this village having DFB - Since DFB is independent of using PK as you said, there's no reason to remove non-PK users (from the academy and their village), since DFB is hereditary and every parent is a PK user, so their offspring are either non-PK or PK - Which means they did introduce DFB to non-PK users, even if inadvertently - Why treat non-PK users non-equivalently, non-PK users from PK parents are disposed of but non-PK users in the past were "moled" - If PK is not genetic, why remove non-PK users, since PK incidence is random - Suggesting PKness is probabilistically related to having PK parents, since only PK were allowed to survive - DFB is supposed to be inherited - DFB may not function well - So DFB needs to be tested and checked - Any kid who cannot show his DFB is working must be eliminated That's it. |

Nequam said: Alright I accept that DFB is not unconditionally expressed. However, why did non-PK users of PK parents get removed? If some can't show DFB, then they are removed. So that means both non-PK and PK would both be subjected to DFB testing, but the former group is not entirely bad. - If DFB gene is defective, then they can screen all individuals for fiendness traits If it is this simple, they would not have needed the DFB test at a kid's rite of passage ceremony. - Thus no need of "bad cats" Bad cats is used to kill not just potential fiend, but other kids deemed not fit to grow up to adult (Saki's sister, Reiko, Mamoru etc). - But DFB is genetic as stated in earlier episodes of scientists trying to come up with a solution, and every child in this village having DFB I would say DFB is inherited but how complicated DFB expresses itself via genes we are not sure. - Since DFB is independent of using PK as you said, there's no reason to remove non-PK users (from the academy and their village), since DFB is hereditary and every parent is a PK user, so their offspring are either non-PK or PK Basically anybody not being able to use PK are deemed not worthy to join human society. It does not have to do with fear of fiend or concern over DFB or whatever. - Which means they did introduce DFB to non-PK users, even if inadvertently I don't think DFB was ever introduced to non-PK human in the past. - Why treat non-PK users non-equivalently, non-PK users from PK parents are disposed of but non-PK users in the past were "moled" The skills to "mole" non-PK human no longer exist in present time. Also the thinking may have changed over the years. The sensibility of the times in the past may have encouraged the thinking to "mole" non-PK human. Such thinking does not seem to have any currency in the present time. - If PK is not genetic, why remove non-PK users, since PK incidence is random We never know how genetic or hereditary PK is, but by the time of novel it seems more likely than not a human kid will develop PK. However, still not every kid is able to develop PK and those who cannot are eliminated. - Suggesting PKness is probabilistically related to having PK parents, since only PK were allowed to survive In fact I suspect one reason why human population does not grow as fast as queerat population is human needs to be so selective in who can grow up to be adults. |

Nequam said: So to summarize - Non PK not worthy to be human, kill - Weak-willed and not strong PK, kill - PK not shown DFB, kill - PK suspected to be fiend, kill - PK might be false demon, kill I changed the wording from "not worthy to be human" to "not worthy of joining human society" but just a nuance change. There are also other situations when kill can happen - PK breaking important rules set by ethics committee, kill - PK displaying a mindset that indicate he may grow up to break rules and cheat, kill - PK who cannot control his power well, kill Of course all these are referring to human kids. |

Nequam said: So to summarize - Non PK not worthy to be human, kill - Weak-willed and not strong PK, kill - PK not shown DFB, kill - PK suspected to be fiend, kill - PK might be false demon, kill 1. Yes, to maintain a PK society and to prevent normals from crying unfair and develop malicious thoughts 2. Yes, Same reason as 1. 3. Yes, it'll mean that they're "dangerous" as they are either messed up genetically or psychologically disrespect human life. (They have PK too, so that makes them as dangerous as a fiend) 4. Look at 3. 5. Again, you do not want people who don't have death feedback to move around unchecked. They're just trying to protect themselves. Though their method can be questionable, but it's been working. |

| Bittersweet ending, the best kind and maybe the only possible good end in life. It's hard to find out the truth about things and how they work and still go on, this series pretty much shows this. It is even harder to believe there is a way to change it and make it happen. Again, Shinsekai yori is about that too. Saki is an amazing character, one of the best I've ever seen. Intelligent, sensitive, strong (very), perceptive, kind... And the best kind of story always makes you wonder how much the good is actually good and the bad is actually bad. Squealer is not bad at all. Humans are not good at all. And you get the feeling that you don't know which of them you really want to win. If it is possible to win, of course. I get the feeling in this last episode that there is not a winner and Saki confirms that. Shinsekai yori is a great and intelligent story (and very different from most of things we watch/read) and this last episode didn't disappoint. :) |
| 9.6/10 > 9/10 Great series. Great characters. Great plot. Liked the last episode all in all. 4/5 My OTP got together yaaaay. :3 I wanna see their children though :V I had a couple of issues with some episodes and it's directing. Kind of abrupt with the scene changes. Some things were dragged too much. Not that many problems to be honest. A couple of plot holes but not too big. --- Also gotta compliment the soundtrack. It's not about the music compositions but more like, they pick the right ones to fit in with each scene. That's what makes Shinsekai's music so boss. :) I love the character designs, even if the animation got weird in a couple of episodes. I'm gonna try to find the BD Fix ones when I decide to rewatch this show. ARE THERE ANY OTHER SHOWS WITH SHINSEKAI ART? PLEASE TELL ME. lol |

Bc everybody forgot about it , we all thought it was bc of cantus leakage and we didnt care about it, but when it was revealed after the war (during which we were all discriminating them bc we fought they were just pissed off beasts ) it was a real kick in the balls since after it we were all questioning our morals |

When it was all revealed I shouted "I WAS RIGHT WHY DID I FORGOT ABOUT THIS?" |
| Wow, what an amazing ending, I wish the series would have lasted longer! The ending was just so good and well put together |
 |
| What a rollercoaster ride! The first few episodes were very confusing, but as the anime progressed, the mysteries were explained. Actually I do agree that most of the characters were a little "meh", but I feel like the story was more plot driven and thought provoking than character driven. Kiroumaru and Squealer were devious and interesting characters. Even near the end, I couldn't tell whether Kiroumaru would betray the humans or not, and I don't think the plot progression was obvious overall, which is a good thing. I loved the depth of this futuristic world. The humans were put in a shitty situation 1000 years ago. I'm not sure what else they could've done to guarantee the survival of the human race. Their current culture is extremely different from ours, and I think that people who were scared off by the few minutes of yuri/yaoi are immature and missing out. In the end, this is one of the animes I looked forward to watching every week. The music was good and the story was entertaining and not obvious. Definitely one of the best animes of this season. |

| I think most of us are confusing about Death Feed Back(DFB). To make simple and easily understandable, DFB is not a perfect mechanic and that should be one of the reason why their ancestors never try to explain it because it has a flaw in it and to prevent people from abusing it. To be precisely, a human can actually kill another human without receiving a DFB, on the other hand a human can still receive DFB without even have to kill another human, which was demonstrated in this episode. So how is DFB work? IMO, it should work just like human's expression. Lets say, 2 people one is American and another one is Asian were watching "Family Guys" but only one of them are laughing because only American people can understand those jokes(just an example and please don't quote me on this one). Which mean if you don't react to the killing you will be fine but how many people who could actually resist from laughing when they find something is funny? You really have to have what it takes to achieve that. In this episode you can see that Saki would have died if she still insist on believing she was also the one who killed "Akki" but she escaped DFB with just a simple trick to her mind. As for the show, Shinsekia Yori and Shiki are the best of its kind. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Well, that was an epic ending. Great characters and the best story I'd seen in years, deserves a solid 10/10. |
 |
| I question some people's ability to rate a show. Someone removed 1 point because one episode they did not like. Does that really justify it? Then again, 84.328935% of the idiots on MAL knock off points of endings because it's not how they wanted it or a particular scene. Honestly if these people wanted to have it their way, either go to BK or write their own story. Katagari said: Started out as one of my more anticipated series of the season by the end it was pretty much my most hated. The artwork/scenery was beautiful. The characters were blah, had a hard time getting attached to any of them with the exception of Kiroumaru he was cool. And Saki...I don't understand how someone with power can be so useless. That last episode had me a wee upset. By that time I was sided with Squealer, he had a reason to do what he did and to punish him so cruelly was awful. The humans pretty much stayed arrogant and ignorant for the entire series, wtf is that? 3/10 Such an ignorant post. What's the point in read/watching things if you want it your way. One of the main plots of the story IS the fact that us humans are contradictory and we are scum. Humans killing other humans because x reason and y reason. Don't you go outside or something? You can remove Queerrats and pretend they are normal non-pk humans and it's the same results. We humans, as a collective race, are scum. There's a lot of good humans but a lot of bad ones too. We don't like other intelligent beings correcting us nor like to share our world. Watch Shiki. I'm not sure if you actually watched the anime or understood anything. |

What you forgot to mention is, in my theory, that since Queerats have 23 Chromosomes just like humans, it's a lot easier to trick the human genome thinking that he/she is a queerat and not a human. The genome is hardcoded into the DNA and the DNA knows what it wants to be unless a mutation occurs. If he thought he was a cat or land shark, he would most likely still be effected by DFB. But, since it clearly says Queerats have 23 pairs of chromosomes like humans, it's a lot easier to trick. |

Better to massacre them than to turn them into queerats.Why did they put the effort through to remove non-PK people and make them moles instead? Why is this not clear for you guys ? Cantus people were at war with non cantus people. They COULDNT kill them because of death feedback. That's why they turned them into rats. And STILL they couldn't kill them as rats because they knew they were human originally. So they HID the fact that the humans without cantus were transformed so that future generations, like Saki's generation, wouldn't know about this and be able to slay the rats without any death feedback. This explaines probably why they kept everything a secret and why they were firbidding everyone to learn things about the past. Because then, they wouldn't be able to kill the queerats anymore, knowing they were human. But here is the genious question of the season: If they turned normal people to rats and hid it, how come Saki, who found out the truth and knew Squealer was human in the end... was able to kill him without death feedback ? |
| Ttippy shit, great series tho. 8/10 |
| I was at first skeptical in watching this for the first several episodes but as it continued, the story got more interesting. I really enjoyed watching it every week and absolutely enjoyed the ending! |

macamiki said: But the fact is, the anime made a mistake of making that idea look suggestive at ep.4 (a really big mistake I would say) because that scene is not supposed to suggest that and is meant to show something else. It would have been a disaster if this fact (queerats were human) was revealed this early because it changed a lot of perspective and thinking you would have following the show. Fortunately, as many people said here, they forgot about it later and so still got the shock when it is revealed at the ending, but this is really not what is supposed to happen. Ep.4 is NOT supposed to reveal the origin of queerats.lj167 said: That is simple :I'm surprised that so many people were shocked by the reveal that the Queerats were humans It was meant to make it obvious at ep 4 , but that is why the reveal was so great. |

| After the first few episodes, I was confused, the story was slow, and I figured this was a 6/10 series. Then the time skip came and this show really took off. It got better and better each week and I couldn't wait for the next episode to come out. So glad I didn't give up on this show. It was easily a 9/10 for me. |

| 10/10 I always had high hopes for the anime, and sure it wasn't perfect but it was still very very good. It never failed to bring progressions every week. The nice thing about this was also that the ending wasn't cliffhanging or it didn't leave you with that sense of nothingness and SatoruxSaki!! Although I would pretty much like to see how the new civilization will turn out with Saki, and the new kids and queerats. I need to rewatch this. |
