Well episode 8 was certainly disturbing. It really caught me off guard. Glad I waited for the series completion to start a marathon. It would have been horrible to be left with that impression of the anime for a whole week at least.

Up to episode 16 now. Looks like they "straightened" things out...

Episode 8 was definitely the worst of it. I disagree with some people that say the sexuality aspect of the show is a benefit. As an example, here is a quote from one of the "top" reviews for this show.

"As if to defy the conventions of mainstream anime, sexuality plays an important role in the story. The main characters are not innocent and devoid of sexual feelings, even despite their young age in the first two arcs. Much like us, they fall in love, experiment and desire to act out on their feelings. They are not restrained by otaku concepts such as 'purity', and this is an immense benefit given the mature tone of the series. One further thing to note is that they do not only express romantic and sexual desires towards the opposite sex— but towards the same sex as well."

I personally don't think the sexuality adds anything beneficial to the show. That entire aspect of their society (the one in the show) was not needed at all for the story being told. There is only one instance in which a sexual act was necessary (and it wasn't shown at all in the show). I'm saying all of this, knowing that the source material supposedly takes it much further in terms of the details in what actually happens (The show was apparently the toned down version). Now I get this is likely the original vision of the author...I'm just stating my opinion.

Reading most of posts here, each sides arguing with each other, neither side not changing their views or even try gonna be a little but understanding of others. A quote from the Great Mark Twain "Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." I have my own personal opinion on how people are reacting to episode 8 but im too fabulous & awesome to be arguing with someone. With that said Im off this unpleasant thread.

Hmmm ok let's answer the thread

I did drop it after episode 8, yes it was because of the yaoi, like on episode 4 i saw this coming but i thought they would be like ''Lets ignore the rules'', and after all the fact that Maria and Saki would kiss just blow off my mind, but really the BL scene turn me down so much, i felt really disgusting, i'm reading this thread for while now and there was a post like: ''If you saw two guys kissing would you quit from life?'', well my anwer is that I would get the hell away from there and was what i did with the anime, you now is really bad watch an anime afraid of a scene, like I'm watching and i got to look out for BL, i don't like and I'm not going to watch.

There is my answer

NOW i want to explain something

Homophobe? Who are you to judge me? looks like you better...If you don't respect my opinion how do you want me to respect yours, i dont like gays, but two cute girls kissing turns me on after all its two females =D
I'm proud of my opinion and i dont expect to changue, i dont hate you because you are gay im just not going to stay near you, after all you dont control your fellings so i dont want to restrain myself so you can feel confortable, i dont like gay people, im heterosexual i dont want to listen to homo thing, i dont want to look out what im going to say so that way you dont offend yourself, i dont like to restrain my actions so that way you dont understand wrong. I dont want to think about what im gointo say, i dont want to changue my jokes or my discussion, i dont want to changue just because there is a homosexual with me.
If you parents were gay you would not be here
The thing is that in this post you guys are lik": HOMOPHOBES WHAT A SHAME!

I don't understand at all how somebody could drop this just because of the yaoi/yuri stuff. I mean it's not even a MAJOR part of the show. It's so easy to ignore if you don't like it/find it uncomfortable and you're missing out on a pretty good anime because you're not even trying to understand the reasons behind it and how it fits with the story. And it does make you a homophobe since the word implies that you fear homosexuals rather actively hate them.

All of this over one scene, you all actually need to get out of the house once in a while, you'd see shit far worse than two dudes kissing. There is something called a fast forward or "skip" button.

What annoys people is when you classify an anime as yaoi because of a short scene lasting barely a minute in total when it's nothing like that, and then proceed to make a spectacle of it.

Get over it....I'm not shitting on anyone's opinions, but believe me when you try to make a show out of your opinion...yeah you're going to have people comment on it one way or another.

Well you sure have a nice opinion here, like just because i don't think like you im just a fucked up person with a fucked up opinion that doesn't deserve respect (and i'm not english so it isn't my language)



Lets think about your post for a second, in my post i ask you guys to respect my opinion and the first thing that i got as answer is "Your opinions is fucked up", well guess what? Telling me that two guys kissing is completely normal is fucked up on my point of view, you know if you had tried just for a little bit understand my opinion maybe i would also try to understand yours, like i said before i don't hate homosexual people i just don't want to hang out with them because i don't want to restrain myself so that way i don't hurt anybody feelings (jokes,action,discussion,nicknames, etc..)

My affirmation is not "wrong" if you parents were homosexual you would not be here, i don't remember seeing any males homosexual couple giving birth to a child

It doesn't mean that is wrong be homosexual just mean that you are not going to give birth, you see like i said before : I don't like and I'm not going to watch

A funfact about this post, I don't remember anyone saying that is a bad show, i just saw people dropping because they didn't want to see BL, like for one episode it didn't matter how good the history was people just dropped it, in my case i wasn't enjoying the show but there was a promise of yuri so sure why not? But one entire week to see BL...its just no my thing ^^)

That and there is talk about this specific episode in the thread for episode 25

Everyone knows that Japanese otaku have shit taste. Hell, Gundam SEED Destiny and Sword Art Online sell like hotcakes over there, whereas gems such as this and Kaiba didn't sell as well as they should have.

And to everyone complaining about the yaoi, Shun and Satoru making out is the most explicit instance of yaoi in the series and that only lasts for 6 seconds. And it's not like there isn't any yuri at all in the series either. Hell, in this exact same episode a couple of minutes later you have Saki motorboating Maria. And while the yaoi is restricted to only parts of one episode the yuri scenes between Saki and Maria go on throughout the entire second arc of the show. Did you guys complaining about this honestly just go "2gay4me" and stop the episode when you weren't even 5 minutes into the episode yet?

But honestly we shouldn't even be reacting to sexual relations like this. Because of our backwards culture it's somehow fine if we see depictions of violence and destruction yet when it comes to depictions of love, passion, and the act of creation people start flipping out and going crazy.

But even then the ritualistic acts of homosexuality do serve a larger purpose in the series.

They serve to show just how far removed this society is from ours, and along with things such as death feedback, the extent that Cantus users would go to just so they can survive without one of them turning into a walking genocide machine. It's supposed to make you feel uneasy and disturbed. All of this is here so that in the end we wind up questioning whether these people can even be considered truly human anymore, and if it's even worth humanity surviving in light of what they've done to themselves, the Queerats, and the environment and world in general.

Edit:In retrospect sorry that this turned into such a rant.

No offense, but really anyone that dropped this anime due to what happened in episode 8 is losing out. Shinsekai Yori was BY FAR the best anime I watched in 2012.

Seriously, THAT is what it takes to turn you off from watching a series? Here, maybe this will help you get past that. After watching that episode, try watching something like Begotten or A Serbian Film. Then, come back and watch it. You'll be so desensitized that you'll probably give up your "eeew, gays kissing" thought process.

Not best anime ever made, surely. But it is pretty damn good especially in critical circles and does some unique things here and there. If you're idea of quality is similar to that of popularity, well you're doing it wrong unless you think transformers 3 is the greatest movie ever made.

Also, bitch please. You have shit taste true and true. Also calling Japanese people Nips is quite racist. Stop that

Lololol All these people are so close minded or just overreacting.
I wouldn't even call what was in episode 8 yaoi or yuri. :/
It was just a little kissing for crying out loud.
Not even hype worthy.
Go watch the Boku trilogy for some real shit.
I did find it a bit strange that suddenly 4 of the main characters were bisexual. Didn't make a lot of sense. :/
But in no way was it a reason to drop it.

LOL so stupid. Cant make an argument worth shit can you, homophobe. I know you dream of muscular men violating you at night and you liked it.

There's no dancing around it, you're ignorant and you are the wrong one for being a homophobe (nobody gives a shit if you don't like the anime, though. Wanna drop it because watching boys kissing for two seconds is not your thing? Eh, it's alright. Wanna drop it because you just don't like gays anywhere near you? Haha, nope). I don't give a flying fuck if it's you opinion, it's still dumb.

Shikata ga nai....


I know you're trying so hard to take attention away from the fact that you have a boner each time you think of men that you have to result to insults that befit a 12 year old kid who plays Assassin Creed (lol retarded game )but it really is ok to be gay. You dont have to hate the world or yourself now because you're gay. You should learn to like it :)

BTW can you tell me how insanely good the sales for SSY were? Wasn't this anime a masterpiece? Or are you saying only when a very small group of people like something, it is a masterpiece?

I like how you use the word ass alot when talking about men. Its quite obvious that you have an affinity and desire towards men's asses, probably stemming from your rejection of your homosexual desires.
Also, I am better at you in every way and sales number does not assert the quality of the show. As anyone would tell you. Of course, its difficult for anyone to tell you anything when you leave in your parent's basement playing Assassin Creed and fapping to Altair's ass.

Dan, you really need to grow up dude, its the 21st century, its ok to be full retard and have other people, like me, be totally awesome and better than you in every aspect of life. (I'm a better AC player than you too btw.)

So dan, for your own good, stop being so ass-annulled over me being a better person and having superior taste to you..., as the saying goes: Shikata ga nai...

Also by your definition; Mars of Destruction is a masterpiece right? TOP LEL!

I don't understand at all how somebody could drop this just because of the yaoi/yuri stuff. I mean it's not even a MAJOR part of the show. It's so easy to ignore if you don't like it/find it uncomfortable and you're missing out on a pretty good anime because you're not even trying to understand the reasons behind it and how it fits with the story. And it does make you a homophobe since the word implies that you fear homosexuals rather actively hate them.


Well now the question is: All those people dropped just because of the yaoi/yuri or they weren't liking the anime at all? The post ask who dropped after the episode 8 ^^)

Did you read OP's first post? Or did you just read the title of the thread? Because OP is obviously hinting that the reason people would drop after ep 8 is due to the yaoi/yuri content that showed up in this episode. Here let me help you if you're having problems.

As the title says, I'm just curious.
Didn't expect they would put some yaoi/yuri contents in the anime like that. It's okay if it was just teasers, hints, but ... I think they went a bit too far.
But still, I will keep watching it.

I like how you are making logical leaps with no links between them. Its obvious that I;m getting you butthurt and bothered so much that you actually cant even think logically. No where did anything I say that point out lower sales must been high quality merely that sales are not a representative of quality. But you're obviously too stupid to realize that, with what being a 12 year old homophobe playing Assassins Creed in his father's basement.

Are you still trying to get my attention dan??? I realize your need to be around awesome people like me because I am clearly better than you in all aspects of life..., but this is getting ridiculous now bro. Give it up, you will never be as awesome or as superior as me. It's ok to be full retard, I do feel sorry for you though.....

So basically what you're saying, is that SSY sold like shit, nobody watched it in Japan but is a masterpiece of the universe???? Ahhhh...., i now understand dan. You have shown me the light :)

People are okay with two girls kissing each other, but as soon as two guys kiss there's a huge shit-storm.

First off everyone, if you want people to take your opinions seriously it helps if you don't constant resort to ad hominem attacks.

Now let's take a look at how Naxrrhid tries to refute dankicksyou:

Naxrrhid said:

First off, you're saying that Shinsekai Yori's lack of popularity and sales is reflective of the quality of the anime itself: this is a fallacy, as the popularity of a work is independent of the popularity of said work. Poor works can be popular (ex. Twilight) and well-written works can be unpopular (ex. Legend of the Galactic Heroes). This is known in general as the bandwagon fallacy.

In addition, this is contains examples of an appeal to ridicule (what you're saying, is that SSY...is a masterpiece of the universe????) and attacking a straw man (refuting dan's position based on SSY's lack of popularity and not on the inherent quality of the work itself), two additional logical fallacies that everyone would be wise to avoid as they could wind up discrediting your entire argument.

If you want to credit or discredit this as a good work (or not), use examples and proof from the anime itself, not external circumstances and/or the credibility of any of the arguers.

I'm going to lock this as it is not significantly different from the discussion of episode 8, has no purpose as a poll, and is generally getting out of hand.

It is clear that many people are uncomfortable with the idea of homosexuality. It is also true that popularity and subjective quality are independent. This episode discussion is not the place to discuss those ideas, nor is there a simple argument that would settle them.

Locked.

I am a banana.
