Now, you have an official procedure by which each person is paired off with someone of the opposite sex. Why is this kept until adulthood? Why the sudden, widespread change from homosexual relationships to heterosexual relationships? We know this is a tightly controlled society. So I think that the implications, at this point, are clear. Quote:
Yes, I can get how a fictional world can be interesting/fascinating in and of itself, and that certainly is the case with Shin Sekai Yori. But there's no way I could care about such a world unless I cared about at least some of the characters in it.

I mean, the idea of mask-wearing priests doing a "mwhahaha, everything you've known is a lie!" type of speech is admittedly pretty amusing.

If I were in that kind of situation, I personally would rather be kept in the dark until I'm safe.

That's different from the current class pairs, where the adults are officially pushing for heterosexual relationships. |

No, in the novel there was a specific reason for homosexual parings until adulthood. I don't know why the anime skipped over this. Maybe they thought it didn't need explanation and it would be enough to show how things work. Clearly it wasn't enough though.

But yeah, Kazu-kun is right here. The anime really goofed on this one thing. The anime probably thought that people would read between the lines, but no, it's not happening.

They have the means to accomplish it and they must have a reason, whether it is a good reason it will probably be upon up to debate when it is shown. If it is not shown or hinted at, heck, we will need people that read the novel to tell us. Quote:

Now I think of it.. Sex between same sex in their age is considered the same when they're adult? |

Sooo.... this far into the thread, I hope we've already gotten over the obligatory "omg bonobos!" and "the sexual aspect is the single most important part of this show!" part.... *looks above* Oh, we have not? Ah.
OK, my own addition to that: poor Satoru was kind of left out of the loop there. xD I hoped they'd let him in on the kissing, too, but I can see why they're pushing the Saki & Maria aspect. (Also, the scene with boys despairing in the background when Maria chose Mamoru was hilarious.) Anyway, I would just like to take this opportunity to diverge a little from the usual topic... 1) The seiyuu of the main characters are doing a great job so far. Now that they've settled into their "older teen" voices, both Saki and Maria have a very, very pretty voice that I could listen to all day (and I'm usually neutral about female seiyuu). As for the boys, people seem to have a hate-on for Kaji Yuuki for some reason, but I think he has a great voice, especially for this type of character, and I love what he's doing with Satoru so far. (I mean, not much, because screentime and everything, but still. I can't wait to hear adult!Satoru.) And while I don't think I've ever heard of Murase Ayumu before, he was great in ep 10. He seems to be a total rookie, but he did an awesome job carrying the episode, and I hope I'll hear him again in other shows. The only one who I think is kind of miscast is Mamoru... or rather, not miscast per se, but rather, very predictably cast to the point where he kind of stands out and not in a good way. I hoped they wouldn't give him the clichéd "sort of effeminate, child-like falsetto" voice treatment. (I really wish characters like him weren't pigeonholed as far as voice goes...) It's even more distracting with Satoru's speech being made rougher and more "macho" than in the book, so there's an even larger contrast between them. The part where Mamoru almost broke down was nice, though. I hope he (I mean the seiyuu) will stay on this track. 2) The outfits. Have I mentioned yet how much I love the outfits in this series? I've loved the school uniforms since ep 1, they're kind of familiar but also a bit traditional and yet unique. Really nice. The summer camp outfits were also very nice, and the coats and headgear in this ep were adorable. Maria's earmuff thingie was the cutest earmuff thingie ever, and I want Satoru's coat. If they ever release merchandise for this show I want the clothes. (The fashion sense so far gives me hope that we won't have to suffer the sight of Satoru in an Aloha shirt and he'll wear something nicer. *keeps hoping*) |

Guys, I think we need to drop the whole bonobo discussion. That horse is as dead as Shun and Reiko.
Quote:
I agree on this completely though, they've been doing a great job, though I wonder if they'll have a new voice for adult Satoru. Saki's already guaranteed to have Aya Endo's sexy voice after the next time skip so they might give the guys new voices? I'm also looking forward to hearing Murase take on more roles from here on. He looks pretty young though, I can't imagine how extra awkward the recording session of ep8 would have been. Quote:

I think there is none but it's difficult to explain why when you can't quote what is written in the novel. The anime is so far very faithful to the novel, only it seems that it doesn't have enough budget and episodes, and maybe in some respects lacks skills needed in anime adaptation. And I think it will remain to be faithful until the end supposing the novel is rather a serious SF and it's aired on TV asahi, so I don't think they have brought in the anime's original settings either.

Yes. Btw, while the anime didn't mention this because it's irrelevant to the story at hand, it's not necessarily male/female groups only. Yes, it's supposed to be, but given that there are never the exact same number of boys and girls, they also have same sex pairs and groups of three. |

I certainly don't think it's misguided to come to that conclusion. In fact, it seems quite logical to me. Quote:
To the extent that we see their unnamed peers, they're portrayed in groups of two. They're portrayed as romantic couples, in other words. I don't recall ever seeing a group of three all holding hands, for example.
