I just finished watching Shinsekai Yori and would like to hear what Sup Forums thought about it.

Personally, I didn't really care for the "big twist" at the end about the ratpeople having human DNA or whatever. They should have erased the whole race nonetheless.

Also, how could any society be so stupid as to deprive itself of any defense mechanisms against other humans on a genetic level (death feedback)? They should at least have had some emergency plans in order to deal with fiends or other humans in general. Even with things being as they were, why did nobody sacrifice themselves and just kill the fiend, knowing that they would die too due to the death feedback but at least saving the rest (in a "jumping on the grenade" sense)?

a lot of centuries without war turned them into faggots like OP

Squealer's cause was right but he was a mad tyrant not fit to stand up for a righteous cause. Kami-samas had every bit of payback coming to them. Basically nobody had the moral higher ground. Also, Squealer's punishment was undeserved.

Okay, so you clearly weren't paying enough attention. The queerats didn't just have human DNA in them, they were the remnants of the non-psychic humans that were twisted and experimented upon by the new humans.

Also, the tainted cats were explicitly created to use to kill other humans. That was their defense mechanism.

>, how could any society be so stupid as to deprive itself of any defense mechanisms against other humans on a genetic level (death feedback)?
Its not the current cantus society choice.Its explained somewhat in the series.
>They should at least have had some emergency plans in order to deal with fiends or other humans in general.
The council is the emergency mechanism, they were too deluded by their own superiority they didnt think a mere rat would rise up and with this plan.

>Even with things being as they were, why did nobody sacrifice themselves and just kill the fiend, knowing that they would die too due to the death feedback but at least saving the rest (in a "jumping on the grenade" sense)?
They had not only death feedback but attack inhibition, watch the fucking series faggot.
Pay attention to the story next time.

I probably paid more attention than you. Of course they were humans at one point, how else would they have human DNA. Still doesn't make me care about them or their oppression one bit.
Also they weren't experimented upon randomly, but the whole point was to make them different enough in order to not trigger the death feedback.

The tainted cats were only usefull to kill defenseless kids and had no use against the fiend. The same way they wouldn't have had any use against any malicious humans that could have come from the outside.

>Its not the current cantus society choice.Its explained somewhat in the series.
It was the choice of the scientist-faction that eventually ended up founding the cantus society. Which makes it so stupid.
>The council is the emergency mechanism, they were too deluded by their own superiority they didnt think a mere rat would rise up and with this plan.
The council only had emergency mechanisms against threads fro inside. What if a fiend or something came from the outside, like another village?
>They had not only death feedback but attack inhibition, watch the fucking series faggot.
I have an inhibition against eating zucchini. I still manage to overcome this inhibition and the stakes are a lot lower. An inhibition isn't like a physical law, set in stone.

you must be one of these anime master of which people keep talking about

Shitsgay Yuri
Dropped it

>It was the choice of the scientist-faction that eventually ended up founding the cantus society. Which makes it so stupid.
They are the supreme being at that time and could reverse it whenever but with the society becoming more tightly controlled over time, the knowledge is lost and they cant reverse that shit since its in their dna.

>The council only had emergency mechanisms against threads fro inside. What if a fiend or something came from the outside, like another village?
This nigga, this is literally the story in ssy.

>I have an inhibition against eating zucchini. I still manage to overcome this inhibition and the stakes are a lot lower. An inhibition isn't like a physical law, set in stone.
Its a physical law in this. They cant do anything at all with all the conditioning and dna modification. Remember Shisei "strongest cantus of all time" scene, he could only toy with the "fiend".
Also
>comparing this to your own issue
My sides.

>They are the supreme being at that time and could reverse it whenever but with the society becoming more tightly controlled over time, the knowledge is lost and they cant reverse that shit since its in their dna.
Well, it was already in their DNA, so even with the knowledge on how to reverse it, it would take a generation and would be useless in case of emergency.

>This nigga, this is literally the story in ssy.
Well, it's also exactly my point. They were retarded for not having any emergency mechanisms for outside threads.

>Its a physical law in this. They cant do anything at all with all the conditioning and dna modification.
Well, it's not. If it were literally a physical law, the fiends also couldn't break it.

>comparing this to your own issue
I remember when reading comprehension was still being taught in school.

>Well, it was already in their DNA, so even with the knowledge on how to reverse it, it would take a generation and would be useless in case of emergency.
No shit, in hindsight its retarded but back then?

>Well, it's also exactly my point. They were retarded for not having any emergency mechanisms for outside threads.
The series show how they acted around the rats with kamisama stuff and you still dont get it? Alright.

>Well, it's not. If it were literally a physical law, the fiends also couldn't break it.
Which fiend? Mamoria/ the guy attacking the village wasnt a fiend and not conditioned for it while the other normal cantus villagers are.

don't be mean to rato

I didn't watch this along with Sup Forums, but what was the deal with some of the shit episodes? I'm not surprised people dropped it after that episode where they're running through the forest. Considering how good this series got later on, what the fuck was going on at the start?

Many animals share a lot of DNA in common with humans. The rats were the result of horizontal gene transfer by reality warpers, and the resulting species were not humans and could not sexually reproduce with humans. They were no longer humans.

Squealer was also an idiot that would have doomed all life. Once a defector emerged among the humans conditioned to think of themselves as rats, it would bring about the return of the psychic tyrants.

>Well, it's not. If it were literally a physical law, the fiends also couldn't break it.

Fiends are literally nothing but rare cases of mutation where the child's attack inhibition and death feedback are not working. Not more, not less.

Hell, attack imhibition even keeps them from using strong language against other humans (novel).

Also the taintedcats would've killed the Messiah if he/she wasn't protected by queerats.

>Also, how could any society be so stupid as to deprive itself of any defense mechanisms
HAVE YOU SEEN LITERALLY ANY OF THE REAL WORLD IN THE LAST 10 YEARS?

WATASHI WA

FUCKING DAMMIT STOP STEALING MY DUBS

as the second you think about doing something bad you are knocked down so you can't be a grenade like you say

If the show had delivered on a promising beginning instead lol info dump, it could have been good. Instead it became a skiing simulator with extremely contrived plot points and a weak moral dilemma. Interesting setting, though.

I find that a lot of anime does exposition badly, especially when they try to contrive to fit it into dialogue. Shinsekai Yori was rather reserved about it and incorporated the world building aspects and plot info quiet well. The audience learn as the young uninitiated characters learn about how their world came into existence. Adult Saki's narration of the goings on was naturalistic in keeping the audience in the loop about the world as opposed to the detachedness of your 3rd person.

I couldn't get past the homoshit in the fourth episode. Forced homoshit is the absolute worst thing an anime can force onto the unsuspecting viewer.

it wasn't forced they had a reasonable and sensible explanation why homosexuality wasn't a taboo within their society

What a fucking wimp. I'd understand if there was actual pornography but there was like one malexmale kiss.
Go outside or something.

>why did nobody sacrifice themselves and just kill the fiend
I dunno OP, maybe because he/she killed them before they even had a chance

I'm pretty sure death feedback actually prevents them from using their psychic powers on other humans on a subconscious level.

Should have just kept a rifle around.

Hahahahahhaahahaa

Let's put this another way.

From how the world in Shin Sekai Yori goes, everybody here would be turned into Queerats and apparently we should all be genocided according to you for not being espers, so either you are a esper or a retard.

Either way kill yourself.

I giggled like a moron when the timeskip happened and everyone was fagging out for some reason.

>in the fourth episode
The homo scene was past the 10 episode, stop pretending you have watch even one episode.

homoshit was in episode 8.

but hey, at least you tried. try harder next time.

I think he meant the info dump at the beginning that explained the past to the kids.

>What if a fiend or something came from the outside, like another village?
fiends weren't supposed to be possible in their society. it'd require a person being raised without thinking themselves as human which would be impossible in regular circumstances, ie. being raised in a village. about the "or something" part , if it isn't human they don't really need any defense against it.

>I have an inhibition against eating zucchini. An inhibition isn't like a physical law
no, you don't. you just dislike zucchini. an inhibition is a thing that affects you physically as well as mentally.

>implying they wouldn't be able to stop bullets in midair with cantus.
