| so, there are strict rules which lead to making the transgressor "going missing", which applies to anyone even, and mostly, childrens tecnology is kept limited only for few to use too many forbidden things to do, see and even mention the chances of the "committee" being a fair government seems slimmer with each episode passing hope that collar will be of some use against those "cats" |

| The drop in quality this show has suffered after episode four has been mind-boggling. Not only the animation, but the directing as well. It's very clear that they didn't put a lot of money into this. As someone already mentioned, this show came out around the same time as Sword Art Online did, and both shows were produced by A-1 Pictures. So, you can easily guess that SAO, which looks absolutely gorgeous in comparison, was allocated the majority of resources (budget, talented staff etc.), whereas Shinsekai just had to make do with whatever was left. I might be mistaken in the above assertion, but it does make a lot of sense. |

| Wait, they know how lions look like? How? Wasn't all the old literature forbidden or something like that? |
 |
| Wow. Getting even more interesting ^^ |
 |
| Maria surprised the crap out of me when she appeared at the window. And I wonder how Saki's going to get out of the situation with the cat with high heels. |
 |
| Interesting revelations but Saki was extremely obnoxious, more than usually. Just how stupid can one little girl be? |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| This show really manages to create a mood of horror and foreboding. That ending couple with Shun's disappeareance and Saki remembering she had a sibling. |

| I only barely understand what's going on, but this show is a lot better when it's mysterious. I still have no clue what a "karmic demon" is supposed to be either. |

| Wow...this was a great episode! And damn, what a cliff hanger in the end! I feel bad for all those who gave up on this anime because of the previous episode :) |
 Holy crap that was intense. I don't think I've mentioned this, but I'm loving the visuals in this show. They're really going all out to create this hollow-but-not-quite-empty otherworldly atmosphere. It's like questioning what's in a mysterious box. All you can do is rattle it around, but what's inside could very well be something horrifying, yet without knowing, it's hard to stave away curiosity. In addition, so far there's just so many layers of mysteries being added on one after another. To be honest, I've already lost track of the original premise of the show. Instead, I'm just going along with the latest thing driving the plot, but at least it's working. It almost reminds me of Casshern Sins, which is something I've also greatly enjoyed. Good stuff so far. |
| I like the scene when maria's sillhouette's appeared behind the window,.. that gave me goosebumps... |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| The security sure is lax especially in the inner yard. I cant wait for Shun's death. |

| I am not that surprised tbh. It was foreshadowed that Saki used to have a sibling before. Similarly, Shun turning into a karma demon was somewhat foreshadowed in episode 2. The story of the boy who turned into a karma demon, he looked similar to Shun and from what I could understand, had a similar personality to Shun i.e. Shun's actual personality. Still, a great episode. |
 |
| Suddenly got a bit darker. Saki remembers her sister after her mother unintentionally mentions it again. Shun is about to die, if not already. Saki comes into contact with one of the kitty cats rizqyfadly said: Yeah looked kinda scary.I like the scene when maria's sillhouette's appeared behind the window,.. that gave me goosebumps... |
 |
| Holy cow the world they live in is just messed up. |
| How do I signature? |
| Although I hate wimpy mc's and like characters who get down to business this mc seems a bit....forward. Like seriously I would've given up searching looking for Shun and try to live a quiet life with my parents and that sexy redhead girl. |
| This society is so fucked up. It's like living under a dictatorship. |
 |
| meow ω(=＾・＾=)ω |
| Awesome episode, the action is picking up. I wonder how Saki will fare against the cat. Maybe the necklace will protect her? |
| Things are moving fast. I can't believe that I forgot about this anime for awhile!! |
Vandelay Industries, this is George Can’t-Stand-Ya speaking, how may I assist you? |
| Definitely Shun was taken by the cat. The suspense at the last part were great too. 3.2/5 |
 |
| I love how HanaKana's character flies. It's simply amazing. Anyway, I thought Shun would be strong enough to kill the cats? |
 |
| Meh....a bit slow-paced for my taste |
 |
on 
| Good god just how far are these ethics people going to go and for what?! |
 |
They are soo ugly, and how the hell can they kill humans with PS powers, if the adults could restain them with such powers?! Very atmospheric episode, that ending was "oh shit"... |
 |
| OK at last after 9 episode, AT A VERY LONG LAST things get interesting hope the tension increases in the next episode..... I WANT FIGHT SCENE WITH THE CAT!!! |
 |
| Phew, I barely survived this episode, just too much pressure for me |
 |
| Pretty good episode if it comes to story. Sickly_Grin said: The drop in quality this show has suffered after episode four has been mind-boggling. Art quality, art direction, awful use of 3DCG. Yeah, It looks really bad. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I zoned out for probably about 1/4 of the episode. Didn't really catch my attention much.. I want to really like this anime so I'll continue for now. |

| Another friend gone. Ep 9. Plot:Shun has been missing for days so the others try to find him. However certain events make things more difficult and haunting, such as the disappearance of a village, kids from Shun's old school disappearing as well, and most damning of all. An old gone child called Yoshimi, and the school being the ones in control of the trickster Cat and behind SHun's disappearance. In the end, Saki goes in search of Shun at his home in Pinewind and runs afoul of the Cat. Character: Lots going on here. Saki's world continues to spiral as uncomfortable truths and memories come back. The fact that its just her that goes full adventure into the unknown shows her bravery shines brightest. Satoru's losing his cool as usual but he does light a fire under everyone when they need it. They need to find out what happened to their friend. The adults man. They make me sick. Animation/sound: The melancholy where Satoru and Saki sit together hits home the depression of losing a close childhood friend and the helplessness of not knowing what to do. The reveal of the trickster cat was especially horrifying. 5/5. It's a grim picture forming and I dread where Saki will end up. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| I'm still loving the dark and mysterious atmosphere of this anime. As I thought Saki wasn't an only child. Shun is about to become a Karmademon, but the adults want to prevent that and therefore they are sending a Tainted Cat after him. I know they just want to protect their village, but that's just messed up,who knows how many teens were already killed that way. Even though they are a civilized society they are behaving like people back then imo. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Loads of new info this week. Shun's turning into a karma demon - do we know why/how? I don't really remember what the library thing said. Not to mention Saki used to have an older sister who is "gone", did she lose her memory (or have it erased)? I thought the scene with her parents was very telling, they're obviously worried and have to follow the rules or something will happen. The adults are sending Tainted Cats after ... someone (Shun?). Well good thing Saki has that collar that Shun gave her to protect her huh, especially considering she's right up close to one at the end :P Hm, is that demon Shun we see in the preview? Either way how are they gonna get him back ... we shall see :P |
| I can't believe Saki is fucking dead! Jokes aside... Well, I guess I may have been wrong about some things. I don't mind, but I didn't want Shun to die... The episode was better, and I appreciate that we didn't linger too long in the "safe zone", like in the previous episode, and instead we're now back in action. |
| Intense episode. We know more about the cats. I was thinking that only Shun disappeared, not the whole town. That was a good plot twist. 4/5 |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Finally some action happened man Saki's parents are really annoying hiding everything from there daughter. |
| Oh shit! She's fucked! |
   |
| He looks cute and kinda harmless lol X) |
| Holy shit, this anime is really getting intense, great developtment, love it. Hope Shun is still alive and rip Sakis siblings |
| When Saki was remembering Shun while going down the river...where have I heard that exact music before? |
 |
| That scene when Maria appeared behind Saki's window in red background, I guess that's foreshadowing something... So it's a rule to not to talk about a disappeared student. So Saki's parent want her to be the youngest child. Which could mean that if Saki is dead they're not going to have another child again. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| A very intense episode. The whole atmosphere gives such a sense of foreboding. I hope Shun is alive. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| It was implied in the earlier episodes that Saki had siblings in the past. The question is, what happened to them? Did they turn into karma demons like Shun and were then killed by the cats? Or did something else happen? And also, what really turns someone into a karma demon? It seems like Saki's life is in danger. Fortunately, Shun gave her his charm, which will probably protect her from the cat. At least I hope so. |
| Another suspenseful episode, and one that felt a lot better written and built up than the previous few. Saki having a sibling was well teased from the start so it just makes the mystery of the kidnappings more interesting to ponder. Music was again good too. |
