Shin Sekai Yori review

Shin Sekai Yori is a show I’ve dedicated a lot of time to as a blogger. The task of writing a post on each episode every week was made a lot easier by the fact that I actually really enjoyed it, and always had something to say about it! I actually had too much to say about the show at times, which is why I’ve now decided to write a review on it. I’d like to be able to compile the most important thoughts I’ve had on the show during those 25 weeks into one post. Who knows, maybe it will help someone reading this to decide whether or not they want to watch the show? One can only dream!!

I won’t waste time by giving you a synopsis- if you want one, read it here on MAL- I’m just gonna launch right into it!!!

Shin Sekai Yori episode 25- Well that was a bundle of laughs!

So it’s over. I’m really glad that our characters managed to stop the fiend so early on in the episode, it allowed the dust to settle, and really gave me an opportunity to mull things over…

Why you should watch Gravity Falls

Now that I’ve seen more than enough anime to last me a lifetime, I find I must now approach prospective shows with more of an open mind than before, which is why, more and more, I’m choosing to watch western cartoons as opposed to anime. So when one of my good friends suggested I try Gravity Falls, her latest obsession, it really didn’t take much convincing! Gravity Falls revolves around the bizarre lives of Mabel and Dipper, twins banished to their crazy uncle’s, and who, soon after arriving, experience all manner of supernatural goings-on- and it’s really very good, a lot better than some of the anime I’ve seen, and that’s why I’ve decided to write about it!!

Shin Sekai Yori episode 24- All you need is love…?

I really do have to hand it to Shin Sekai Yori, right up to the very end I’ve no idea how this series is going to wrap itself up! Part of me doesn’t want to ruin the surprise by theorising about the show’s conclusion, you know, just in case I actually guess right!! *scoff* But then again, very few of my educated guesses about the show have turned out to be on the mark so far, so… And as a blogger, it’s sorta my duty to provide a service for my readers… If that service just so happens to be making you guys giggle at how spectacularly wrong I turned out to be, so be it!!!

So after some deliberation (and tea and cake) these are two theories I managed to come up with!

Shin Sekai Yori episode 23- More crazy conjecture

So we’ve only two episodes left of Shin Sekai Yori now, and I still have no idea what will come to pass as the series wraps itself up! Of course, I haven’t expended much effort theorising about what might happen, as it feels as though whatever does happen, it won’t be much of a cause for celebration!! Even if Saki and Satoru do manage to stop the fiend and survive, so many people have died now- Inui, Maria, Mamoru, Tomiko, Saki’s parents, countless villagers- it will feel as though their achievement has come a little too late… But what else can we expect from SSY? This is a show about the disease known as man-kind. We’ve seen over and over how we corrupt everything that is around us (albeit not always consciously), and how that has spelled our defeat, so a happy ending in which everything is resolved seems impossible, we cannot escape our destructive nature, you know?
