| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Dat secrets revealed. Saki is having some mental thoughts. Overall, this was a action packed episode with the new bold headed guy, a rat archer, and the fire being lit on. So many rat creatures and..oh that cliffhanger. |

| Looks like things are picking up now. Dialog heavy episode. |

| Whoa, things really started to pick up at the end there. Lots of dialogue and information clearing things up. Awesome episode. |

Vortiene said: Quite honestly one of the best episodes i have seen thus far this year... Yeah, it was really, really good. |
| Another dark secrets revealed. This is getting intense. |
 |
| Dark history as expected though some of the reactions were annoying, granted shock is an obvious reaction so that was ok, but that one kid breaking down, i would have easily got over this as just a bad moment for the character but then he cries just to look around T_T, well anyway.....good episode that felt tense the whole way through. I wonder if bodies will start falling next episode, i mean normally i would say to early, but i didn't think they would lose their powers that quickly, i figured it was possible after last episode since there would be consequences for that info, but dang them having powers didn't last long at all. |
 |
| This is beyond horrible. So I was probably right when I said Time skip next episode. So we are going to see them a bit grown up as they attempt to make a change to this disturbing society they grew up in. 5/5 for this episode even though I don't even remember a third of what that moving library creature said. |

| Time skip next episode? Really? What? I feel confused. Why is that?? @_@ But damn interesting. Though the somewhat overly dramatic reactions were annoying. I'm interested to see how the relationships develop. o.o |

| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Awesome episode...I had a feeling that when this series really started to pick up that it would be amazing. The next episode should be even better when they are on the run from the queerats |

| Holy cow. This was truly an intense episode, and yet again for the fourth time it felt like 5 minutes went by. Not as important but, I wouldn't mind if this show never had an OP. That, or it's hard to top the ED as of now. 5/5 |

| ^ thisthisthis my thoughts exactly. that ep was soooooooo good wow. now to wait for next week... orz |
| THIS EPISODE WAS... ABSOLUTELY.... EPIC, JUST EPIC! |
| Its amazing how they fit all that into one episode without rushing it. Excellent episode. But the one thing that bothered me is that crybaby, right from the beginning. Oh well. Can't wait for next week, this series just keeps getting better and better. |
 |
| Since last episode you know, I always though of a personal saying I like: “What you know of too much can cause you trouble.” I was so right in this episode. Saki totally flipped out, Mamoru wiped out and Satoru/Shun had their problems. I guess I could say that Maria was the most cooler of them all. My thoughts follow of what the abstract art did to this episode and how explicit it got. About the explicit of this series, whereas I heard of the novel being explicit, the anime itself is doing quite an amazing job on this field on many ways. First of all notice the naked silhouette in the following,  It’s a naked female riding on a scythe from what it seems. A rather gruesome representation of the Grim Reaper. What is interesting is when it looked at Saki in the spoiler To further make things clear the series does not shy away from its depiction. However this time around it’s far more artistic IMO. Such can be stated with the spoiler The killing in the spoiler Furthermore the flashbacks in the spoiler So the series does certainly and hopefully not shy away. There are female monsters and their bodies will be shown with no hiding. In other words if a monster is female and it has breasts, they will be shown. I was warned of this beforehand and that’s fine now that I see it shall be the case. If a monster is female and naked, it’s pointless to shy away from its depiction. In that the anime will be good and so far with the scene it proves itself that it won’t shy away. About the bombing, I was quite surprised of all the B2 in the spoiler I can also say it was quite gruesome in the spoiler About Saki and the gang. I knew they could not handle it in the spoiler What is however clear to is the spoiler About thee end, well I liked all that priest monk person in the spoiler  OH SHIT! THE INSANE DOG! The one Satoru mentions except it looks totally deformed man! Well remains to see if the monk can kill it in time. About the preview, from the looks of the spoiler In conclusion, the gang is in shit! They know too much and will get involved in the war. That alone will change all. I doubt there shall be any going back after they found all they did in this episode. It’s too late for them. Saki’s mentality change is no good at the end IMO. |
| That was an intense episode, that monk went in when he killed those queerrats. The reactions from the kids to the past was annoying, I wanted to find out what's going on then they're crying because they don't like the past. I think it was the same kid who was put on the floating thing as well. |

Saki’s mentality change is no good at the end IMO. It makes sense that Saki wanted to suffocate herself, because she was having a intent to kill after someone around her, or maybe towards the robot library. Besides, try to think more about those questions you made yourself, now I'm not in the mood to answer them =| |
NightMareX1 said: I am trying to think but the output is too varied due to the abstract delivery of the series.There already tons about the shadow lady herself and Grim Reaper references. It can be as wild as Saki seeing herself as a killing machine. It's wild. |
AiCon said: I felt the same way when I saw that reaction. Because these kids have cantus, so they can likely relate what happened with their power. And they were just kids, they didn't expect that their history they have been living on was that bloody hell. Yes I will consider this episode of Shinsekai as one of the best episode anime this week. Honestly you can't get bored reading the dialogue. And some action near the end as well, that priest was a badass, but there must be a reason why he wanted to slaughter the queerats that badly ... Well according to the pv, next episode will be the escape part. Perhaps they will run away from the village. |
| Now this was an amazing episode! It seems that their 'enemies' aren't enemies after all but some sort of people instead. edwd2 said: 7.47 (scored by 4150 users), this is terribly underrated, I don't get why :( Perhaps most people still need to watch it or some people stalled/dropped it because the first 2 episodes were meh-meh and it seemed as if it were going to be an episodic show. I can't wait for more, this is getting really, really interesting! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| On a side note, I wonder what will happen when they learn that their cantus isn't actually sealed. I mean, if they could seal it away, why not seal EVERY cantus and live a happy PK-free life? Because they CAN'T. They just make people BELIEVE they can. Psychology. |

| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Gotta love the spoiler wall in the first page xD This episode was amazing. Lots of shit went down, and equally as many were thrown into the air. I wonder what that girl in the tornado was? And someone mentioned that failed/exiled cantus users become queerats? That'll be awesome to see what'll happen when they find out. The only major gripe I have with this episode are the frkn guys minus the mc's romantic interest. I just wanted to slap that crybaby silly, and punch that dumb ass' face in. Aside from that, really, really good episode. 4.5/5 Apparently time jump next episode? That'll be interesting. edwd2 said: 7.47 (scored by 4150 users), this is terribly underrated, I don't get why :( I actually prefer it this way. No retards and trolls infesting the threads. At least until the end of the season in which (I hope) this anime gets best of fall 2012. |
| Everyone is dropping this show because of yuri/yaoi unfortunately. 5/5 btw |

 |
| From just plain weird to a post apocalyptic setting. Well, at least something is making sense now (kinda). |
| Finally,a good episode. this is what I waited for,4.5/5 for the episode. |
| There are quite a few hints suggesting that Saki bears a rather violent personality from the presumably sealed memory about her stabbing the old priest to her stress reaction during the explanation by the library. Last episode she also had no qualms about damaging the false minoshiro forcefully. Once again Maria stands out by being remarkably quiet which was exeptionally noticable when her companions freaked out. She also seems pretty close to Mamoru which has been emphasized in the last few episodes as well. I sense a mother-child dynamic developing between them. |
 |
| This is crazy. I love confusing stories. I didn't even understand shit in the explanation about the past. The Queerats and Blowdog. Fucking awesome! AWESOME! Omg Im too excited I can't put it with words. This Anime might be the best this season. |

| Seriously people, these are 12 year old kids who just found out that not only is their society was founded on the slaughter of an entire civilization, but also that it was their own ancestors who did it using the very power they were using at that moment and treasured so much, not to mention the fact that they had been genetically modified and environmentally programmed so they wouldn't cause trouble. Seriously, as if you guys would take it much better, and if you can say you would then you're most probably just an idiot or someone with serious emotional deficiencies. Anyway, this was a fantastic episode, I'd probably even go so far as to say it was the best 24 minutes of television I've seen in the past few months, so definitely a 5/5 for me. |
| Finally we get all the interesting backstory on human civilization. I've been waiting for this. Action was great and I can't wait for the next episode. |

| Queezrats are awesome. period. And regarding the spoiler of the novel of you know what, all I have to say is... AWESOME!!! Just the type of story I like the best XD Also ranting a bit, all characters except Maria will change their VA´s and are listed. I dont understand why Saki´s other VA is not listed. (Endo Aya). Oh well... damnit, Kaji Yuuki again... |

| This is the best episode so far. A lot of information revealed in this ep and by reading some of those spoilers seem like things are going to be picking up even more. |
 |
| Amazing episode What are those Queerats exactly, are they hunter, slaves or what? many questions still unanswered, but it really become interesting That preview looks great |
| really enjoyed this episode. the library explained a lot of answers, so that was good. we're finally understanding the type of society they live in. and also, that was crazy how they said that that clapping scene for that emperor lasted 3 days.. |
