There's that, and also the fact I don't have the time to patch together disparate discussion threads from multiple sources, an issue that's less pronounced in a single thread. Anyway, such comments are more relevant in the feedback sub-forum, so I'll just stop here. |

Oh, it was a different director? That makes a little more sense.
But seriously. When was the last time you almost had sex up in a tree, then fell into a queerat's nest where a hexabreasted queen awaited? Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. Found the new style very interesting. It focused a lot more on the facial expressions of the characters, which allows you to see deeper into what they're feeling. However, it was kind of odd as there were moments where you'd think someone would be frowning, but it looks like they're smiling, or something else to that effect. Also, I know they're running from the brink of death, but when did Satoru suddenly stop being such an asshole? Now I can't justify my want to tie the kid up to a tree and leave him there.

However, if you did not mean it that way I apologize (it's the internet and I understand sometimes misinterpretations happen). That being said I don't have different priorities than you. I would still put storytelling above visual style as well. I also had no problem with the storytelling in this episode. Although it was weird for Saki and Satoru to be separated from the group, I also felt it created some interesting interaction that we wouldn't normally see, especially since they only had each other to rely on. That dynamic was very interesting to me in the episode and it made for a captivating episode, the visual style only added to this. So from a visual and storytelling perspective, I highly enjoyed this episode. I don't exactly want to get in a debate about that though because if someone else didn't I can't exactly say they were wrong either

The animation went downhill for this episode, particularly when close-up shots at the characters' faces were involved.
Nevertheless, enjoyed this episode because both Saki and Satoru unknowingly and accidentally ended up in the world of the others; the world far beyond the boundaries of their village. I feel like finally Shin Sekai Yori exposes at last its full universe and unique mythic world with the introduction of the Ground Spiders and the Robber Flies colonies, and their bizzare world. Unlike the previous episode, there wasn't much plot progression, but we got acquainted with the tribal issues between different Bakenezumi breeds. The native ones are those submissive to the human village and holding a non-aggression pact. The other ones who were previously called blowdogs I theorized they migrated from far away lands, possibly came from the west and the north. Those bakenezumi aren't afraid of humans with canti or deterred in anyway if humans use their psychokinesis against them. I speculate that maybe those bakenezumi actually encountered humans before in their native lands or while migrating to Japan, however, those humans might have been descended of the tribesmen group which never develop canti at all. Hence, the Ground Spiders could have easily crushed or conquered those canti-less human tribes and deemed the whole species as not a true threat to them, which could possibly explain the reason as to why they do not flinch or are scared of the humans from Saki's tribe that use Cantus. |

The animation style is popular with younger staff and animator "insiders". I also don't like it (which is a matter of subjective personal preferences, not skill or complexity), but concerning this episode the style was not the problem, rather the director and/or the storyboard had to work with.

Don't really think that's the case with Yamauchi,he's mainly popular with the oldschool fans,the guy isn't exactly young (he's 59) and plenty of his fame comes from the 90s.

Oh! and a reminder, I am not talking about the storyboard and the director's involvement with it, which IMHO caused most of the problems this episode; nor about the series composition which causes problems in general and discussing it here makes mods uncomfortable. |
