Shin Sekai Yori 24 — To Be Human
Another excellent episode where not very much happens. Or at least it seemed that way when the ending started playing when I believed the episode had just started.
Let me take a quick moment to brag: I was right! The fiend just didn’t know he was human. Not that I’m surprised. I’m always right. Just figured I’d throw that out there. Continue reading Shin Sekai Yori 24 — To Be Human

Shin Sekai Yori 22 — Journey to Tokyo
This episode was mostly a setup showing the journey to Tokyo (which looks beautiful, by the way). Saki and Satoru escape from the Queerats and battle monsters. The party is supplemented by a library and Kiroumaru. Continue reading Shin Sekai Yori 22 — Journey to Tokyo
Shin Sekai Yori 21 — The War of Liberation
Aside from their violence and abduction of infants (a pretty big aside) I have to sympathize with the Queerats. The humans have been effectively using them as slaves. Now the tables are turned, with their infants born into slave labor, and they don’t like it.
When they meet the older Queerat underground, Satoru’s words betray some huge chutzpah. Satoru argues that Squealer doesn’t care about whether some of his soldiers die. Remember just a few episodes ago when Saki was daydreaming while she watched the Queerat armies slaughter each other? Yeah, they’re going to be convinced now that the humans give a crap whether they live or die.
