| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It officially started and I love it. Art and setup is great. It centres around a town and school for now but there is exile due most likely from the synopsis. One thing I will love is Maria and Saki the following,  those 2 girls and the soft lovey-dove between the 2 will be nice to see. Hope it does not overflow to more than friendship though. Both girls are great in design. About the religion, one of the things to remark are spiritual attacks such as Saki had to go through in the beginning. They are known IRL as Poltergeist attacks and are rather nasty. Put it this way, object in mid-air with something taking that you don’t see only to throw at you to hurt you. The most shitty thing in a exorcists IRL job. Spoke to a few of them. That being said the most intriguing I find is the spoiler About Maria, well for now I shall put the spoiler About the preview, there is further into and development of Saki’s friend in the spoiler  Kuradeel? WTF ARE YOU DOING? Or so he looks very like him. For a minute I though Kuradeel came back in this series to do shit but sadly it’s just someone with a similar design. However it’s nice to see the annoying shit that made Kuradeel be hated to be back into this individual TBH. Makes for a great evil dude. Can’t wait to see Maria in the spoiler Finally in the spoiler About general outlook for guidance for some people, if you like supernatural stuff and aren’t too tempered towards Yuri in anime then this series is for you. It promises to give you visual that may be to your liking while giving you supernatural elements à la a little Shaft style visuals or like episode 1 of Hyouka showed. Bear in mind this show will not shy away from showing monster’s full features and that does mean if they are females the private parts are in there. Blanked out of course and nor do I think the series will benefit of anything from any details. Blanking should be the way to go of this series if any nudity is to be shown as the situation requires it. The powers are so far of Telepathic/Telekinetic value but it will get better than that with perhaps whole dimensional fights or other dimensional wars going on. The multi verse is quite easy with spirits to do. This totally a tale of darkness as the atmosphere tends to express that where the world is in disarray or so it shows due to the spirits themselves or perhaps due to its course of history. The series should be taken as a supernatural war struggle that eventually gets uglier and darker. Might edit later. |

| Just saw the RAW. I love it already. The music and artwork is great. The ED is a nice song as well. Judging from your screenshot, I did see the same episode you did. |

| Definitely a good watch so far. I liked the setting and visuals as well as the way the characters are introduced. The overall theme fits well as well.

Compared to KyotoAnimation, I'd say it's on par. However, yuri? That's the least thing that would be on my mind when I watch this series. You also made a thread about "fan-service in this series?" which I found absurd since this series was about so much more. inb4 you give this series a 8-10 of the entire series based on the first episode The powers are so far of Telepathic/Telekinetic value but it will get better than that with perhaps whole dimensional fights or other dimensional wars going on. The multi verse is quite easy with spirits to do. This totally a tale of darkness as the atmosphere tends to express that where the world is in disarray or so it shows due to the spirits themselves or perhaps due to its course of history. The series should be taken as a supernatural war struggle that eventually gets uglier and darker. The theme of it is pretty good. If it plays out in a supernatural dimensional war like theme, then it's definitely worth the watch. As for the yuri part, I'm pretty sure it won't happen or take place at all actually as the author of the novels did not mention it in this article. On that interview, What are some highlights in the animation, From the New World? Yūsuke Kishi said: It depicts a world that, in some sense, is a utopia. However… (Snip)…and I hope people can enjoy their conflict and their dangerous adventure. So, be prepared for jawbreaking animation work in an utopia like sense setting. Here's more from what he mentioned in the interview: What are your hopes for the animation of From the New World? Yūsuke Kishi said: I hope that they take great care in depicting the “karma” that every man possesses, something I wanted to depict most in my novel. And how they try to overcome those hardships and fetters. I hope they do a good job depicting that. But after looking over the script, I don't think I have anything to worry about. I can tell they wrote it with that aspect well in mind. In fact, I don't know if I could've put it all together as well, had I written the script myself. In other respects, I leave the presentation of the animation to them. I have high hopes that their creativity will drive them to add new things not in the novel. |

Ejc said: GOOD! Glad you got itJust saw the RAW. I love it already. The music and artwork is great. The ED is a nice song as well. Judging from your screenshot, I did see the same episode you did. As for your Yuri inclination, yeah I know I hope not. If they do it will be bad for this series. There is simply no benefit in fan service in this series. If anything to take seriously would be if a ritual requires (situational) or character development (romantic) but not to dick out (stuff like in your face like you know panties in some shows) anything of that in this show is not accepted by me at all nor any variations. I can accept Madoka like stuff as they did with Sayaka/Sakura. That's it. In thee end it depends how they choose to show it. I think it will not give in the manga's Yuri antics and will be more story heavy from how I see with budget going for visuals and monster designs IMO. |

I mean the adaptation is based on a novel that won a prestigious SF award in Japan. I don't think they have the intention of ruining such a premise, but to make people more aware of the novel. |

Stark700 said: Indeed the manga goes a little too far. The person that replied has a point but the problem is outlook and not all can eat all the time. That being said I think the studio should be a example as much as Little Busters will be and Clannad was. That a series can have all its Fan Service ROBBED and still be MORE AMAZING than its counterpart. So if the anime goes in the LN version and it surpasses it...would that not be fantastical of the studio. Any studio can draw out breasts, blanked girls privates and enticing ass. Not any studio can take out the ecchi, make it better than the original version and surpass the LN itself. It takes far more efforts and merit IMO.Yumekichi11 said: About general outlook for guidance for some people, if you like supernatural stuff and aren’t too tempered towards Yuri in anime then this series is for you.

Just as Muv-Luv stuff was not around for a while that being Aliens/Gore/Nudity as example.The theme of it is pretty good. If it plays out in a supernatural dimensional war like theme, then it's definitely worth the watch. Ejc said: That's exactly what I want from your point of the spoiler. Personally with a visual flavor..... exactly like in Madoka!Yumekichi11 said: Ejc said: GOOD! Glad you got itJust saw the RAW. I love it already. The music and artwork is great.

The series is based off a novel I believe, not the manga as it was written first by the author. This isn't a light novel, it's just a novel as book. Interviewer said: Could you please tell us what made you decide to write this book? Yūsuke Kishi said: I first had the idea for it over 30 years ago when I'd just entered university. It came to me after I read the book, On Aggression, published in 1970 by Australian ethologist Roland Lorenz. In his book he wrote that because humans were weak creatures to begin with, the checks against intraspecies aggression were also very weak. I took my idea from that description, and spent the next 30 years refining into this novel. Unless, of course you mean Little Busters! or Clannad here. But the series is not based off a manga originally, it's a from a book. |

Stark700 said: Very nice find that I overlooked sadly. It's quite nice to know this and certainly I am surprised of his pour out from one inspiration. 30 years is sure long TBH. This is fascinating for this series may even have intellectual value based on ethology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethology being as it mentions it there, it is important to realize that the species are the supernatural this time. Ironically it is a species Japan is dealing with a lot from haunting to many other such occurrences. With all the spiritual referencing, I am not surprised exorcists have work to do in Japan and not surprised that such a anime series will show how much of a struggle like animals put out will they do. Those 2 series were just examples of how ecchi can be totally absent even if the original material had them. That's all the purpose I had of them. Well I am sure Little Busters will remove all ecchi content from the VN counterpart. |

He probably divided into multiple sections as 30 years is more than enough to write a novel imo even with a ghostwriter. He has also written other pieces of work including:

| Great introduction episode. I'm loving it already. |

seraphzero said: Does anyone know who's subbing this show? CR is subbing it also as it seems. |
|
| This anime, from the first episode at least, is definitely worth watching. When I saw the PV I didn't think the animation part of it would be THIS amazing. It's like KyoAni's animation style almost. Absolutely amazing. The art is simple, but it's really really beautiful at the same time. I don't really know how to explain that feeling, but, well, whatever I guess. The ED was really nice too. Very catchy. It somehow reminded me of Muv-Luv's OP, in terms of catchiness. :D |
| Should I wait for subs to watch it...? My Japanese is a bit sketchy still so I'd prefer subbing, but if it's 8-10 in terms of quality i guess i'll watch the raws.? |
 |
| Seems good, looks promising. |

Tyrel said: Blah thats lame. Looks like EveTaku won't sub it now, and we won't get subs til 2nd.. As the Translator for Aidoru, we're working on this and hope to have it out before CR's stream. It's a tough show to translate, but we've got a native Japanese who has read and enjoyed the novels on our team. YorozuyaGinSan said: Should I wait for subs to watch it...?

The level of technical terms in this show will leave you lost if you don't understand the language at quite a high level. As for the episode itself; it's a good introduction. We'll see where they take it from here. |

We prefer to let the results speak for our group. Edit: Translation is, by the way, now done. On to other aspects of the process! |

| Nothing really stunning in the first episode. I hope things start to happen soon. :| |
 |
| If it's in raw now from what I hear, the subs should probably be up within the next day. I would like to ask where this first episode came from exactly? Was it a special on TV(as in it's popular enough to show the first ep before its release date), a special screening, etc.? |

EveTaku will drop it cause its Simulcasted, Aidoru which is a new group so not too sure how accurate the subs are. Hadena is hadena being bad. I think UTW is doing it too.. |

| uh am i missing something or did like nothing happen other than really basic stuff well its a 2-cour no need to rush anything |

It was a screening on a premium channel that not everyone has access to (but clearly someone has, because a raw was posted from it). Screening on the standard channel will be around when the Crunchyroll stream hits. |
| watched this with Chinese subs and it left me confused. at the end, the narrator (I believe) said that the person was missing from the school ever since that day. ... O_O so who went missing? --- relatively boring, but the plot seems interesting. :O and the creepy music really kept me on edge. and now I'm left wondering what happened to the main girl's sibling. |
weiqifan said: so who went missing? It was |
| @Shoujo_Q: ah, I see! Thank you very much for the help. |
| Ohhh! I'm liking it so far, though I'm a bit confused. I might not have understood if I didn't read the synopsis afterwards. Looking forward. Will continue to watch! |
| Serious I don't get the story but the ending song was nice |
| Wow. This was...amazing. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Wow, I'm so impressed. I love the tension in the first episode, and Reiko disappearing was just the icing on the cake. |
| Wow, that was creepy... O_O And I freakin' loved it! XD So interesting. Will keep watching this one. :D |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| A nice start there. I love sci-fi, so I'll keep watching this one. |
 |
| Okay I don't know where all of this is going, but I sure as hell am looking forward to finding out! There's something very dark, eerie, and sinister about this show. It's like Elfen Lied meets The Giver or something! I wonder who that guy at the beginning was who was massacring everyone. Perhaps he was the reason why society is so structured and strict about controlling the telekinesis abilities now. He was some mutant who went on a rampage, and people don't want someone like him to appear again. Anyway, this show was a great way for me to start off the fall anime season. Can't wait to see how things unfold! |

| I will have to rewatch when there are better subs out. But regarding the episode itself, I didn't feel a thing. I'm totally indifferent about it. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Interesting first episode. I'm not a great fan of the character design, but the atmosphere and the animation were good. Also, dat Ending song! |
