| Gay in 2 years! CONGRATULATIONS |
 |
| What the hell is wrong with the animation, the quality dropped again?! Poor Mamoru is pretty much alone, Saki is even aware of that and his one-sided love but doesn't understand in what kind of situation he is, they are still young though, so you can't really blame her. Everyone who keeps spoiling here, should be banned. |
| This episode's display of affection made me feel uncomfortable, not because some of it was homosexual but because of the pure display of hormonal raging than any true sign of it being done out of love of even like! It was just lust, lust, and some more lust! Which is why it wasn't 'heartbreaking' when Satoru and Shun had a fling and then Shun dumped him. The development between Shun and Saki was nice though, but I'm not putting much hope in that seeing how this bonobo society whores around =.= At least Saki's disgusted with herself a bit. And I feel SO BAD for poor Mamoru! He's like the only sane teenager there who's not getting on on someone else just because he's horny! POOR KID! He should be the one to save the society or whatever is supposed to happen next. Sigh, anyways, this was a rather interesting development otherwise. Seems like Shun created a monster than helped the chick hatch. Also, not sure if the powerful guy who came to visit used some time thing to approach Shun or that Shun had a barrier around him that prevented anyone from coming closer. Also, although Shun's hotter now, his forced smiles aren't that great. I also wonder why he didn't make a barrier against the 'cats' for the rest of the gang too if he actually realized what was going on. Speaking of the 'cats', could it be the large 'lion' animal that we saw in one of the first few episodes where the boy cheated in the game where you had to get the ball in the hole? Also, what's so special about the cats? And didn't we also hear in the first few episodes how Saki's mom was concerned that she was being 'targeted' (or something along those lines) by the cats? Hmm, either way, hope the next episode is focused more on action. Looking forward to it :P |
| Sometimes I wonder if you understood or missed the part where they explain that their society was based in bonobos? anyway... You know what I would really really like? that Homophobes/people who use hate, discrimination and prejudice and are happy for being simple minded brains that will never suffer a process called "EVOLUTION", would drop this show and just leave. If you dont want to give a chance to the show, your problem. Dont come here criticize the others who still want to watch it. Because All Ive been seeing since this morning on this thread is people who supposedly "dropped" the anime because of this episode, but keep coming back. Why are your torturing yourselves lads? Because you see, your unhappiness is sad....but we (aka, people with open- mind that spent the whole day laughing with your hate posts), we´re happy you see. We´re happy because we tried our best to understand you and try to convey our opinions and show you the path to a better world where people actually talk about yaoi/yuri without making a big deal of it, respecting the subject, respecting the story and fans, and not calling it "disgusting" every 5 seconds. No one is deaf here. We get it, you dont like it, wow, CONGRATULATIONS. Go in peace. Resume: We are still happy and you´re still angry. At the end of this long day the ones who can go to bed with a mind filled with peace and good feelings and a good smile on our face, its us the open-minded people, while you guys, I actually feel sorry as you try desperately to flame and spread your anger to the world, going to sleep filled with nasty hate in your mind trying desperately to seek 23234 reasons to find homolove "disgusting". The day you finally come to realize that a kiss between two guys or two girls is not "disgusting", "sick", "fag" and accept it naturally as any other form of love, you will be at peace. Until there good luck with your inner struggle/avoidance of "gay" anime-no-matter-if-it-has-plot-its-still-gay-because-yes-I-said-so. |

Bobbypick said: I have no problem with Yaoi or Yuri, but this is pointless and shameless. There was no rhyme or reason for this sort of thing to be added. In the end, it had absolutely no effect on the plot, or the characters. They just threw SatoruxSaki out the window and made him gay. He wasn't even looking at Saki anymore.This is something they'll just throw out and forget it ever happened. It was just done for shock value. If anything though, I'm glad it drove more people away than the other way around. This show deserves to be watched by nobody for doing such a stupid thing. You just don't randomly throw something like this into an anime. Uh no, Shun DID look at Saki, twice actually. First when he and Satoru were making out in the grass and the second time when Saki overheard Shun breaking up with Satoru and heck Shun even blushed then! |
AiCon said: So much BL and GL along with the unfortunate odd one out. Yup. Just like middle school. Tyrel said: Guess the rule is you have to be a homo or you'll be alone.InfiniteDestiny said: Found it odd how they treated the one straight guy like the outcast.... LOL. It's like straight people don't exist in this show :| Yeah, that's probably why Saki told Mamoru to go out there and 'have some fun' only to end up crying at the sickness of that statement when she goes to the bathroom. |
jimjimex said: Engineered homosexuality by this civilization actually makes perfect sense! Introduction of homosexuality behaviors by genetic and social engineering actually keep their population VERY low. If their civilization have a population curve like we do today, there is NO way they can monitor and control the kids' education in such detail. That's a good point! O.O |
| Lol I just came here to see how many people would drop it lmao |
uniquelyme91 said: OK first thing's first; They are not all homosexuals they are all (except Mamoru apparently) BISEXUAL! There is no gender discrimination here, I thought people who didn't know what Bonobos are would look it up by now, they are a species of apes who are bisexual. Ok imagine a world where boys didn't "have" to be with girls and girls didn't "have" to be with boys. Imagine sexual intimacy is something you can have with anyone you are close to, something you both benefit from and just a less violent way of relieving stress. Now imagine you are in puberty and you child body is changing very quickly, and you start having a wider range of emotions and you are looking at your friend's bodies differently. It's all confusing and a little scary. I remember at that age I was very close to my friends of the same gender, they were having the exact same changes as I was. I don't see it as a big stretch that in a community where there is no "only boys kiss girls" and vice versa, that you would explore your new sexual feelings and urges with someone of the same gender. It's less scary that way with a close friend who shares a similar body. I can guarantee that as they get older there will be more boy/girl coupling. And anyway if they were all homosexual their community would cease to exist. I think I can understand the Shun x Satoru coupling. Saki likes Shun + Shun likes Saki + Satoru likes Saki = Satoru likes Shun, Shun likes Satoru or something like that. I always wonder about the voice actors, I mean they're in a room together and they're kind of making these declarations and um, sexy noises at the other's character. I know there is a level of professionalism involved but what do you say at the end of recording, "It was nice making the sounds of making out with you,"? I mean do any of them blush at all? LOL :P and nice perception! |
| Anyone else surprise that Mamoru is actually a dude? |
| The gay stuff was to be expected. Don't know why people are whining about it. And they kissed for like 4 seconds. Oohh boo hoo 2 boys kissing eeewwey gross!!1 Please. Are you in fucking middle school? Go watch your kawaii moe girly bullshit and gtfo. The only problem I had was the awkward animation. Wtf some scenes looked so bad! Oh well, at this point, the animation doesn't really matter cause the story is so damn interesting! That eye! Shiit this show is awesome. Looking forward to next week No love for Mamoru T.T |

| After weeks arguing and anticipation i guess some of our most transparent members of MAL finally got the Yaoi action they were seeking. I must say though, in this episode, the ratio of yuri to yaoi was quite disproportionate such is a reflection of both genre's i guess. Anyway enjoyable episode, two years have passed and a lot has changed. The cantus of the kids has been fully restored and developed quite well for them. Also new mysteries were born in terms of Shun's mysterious behavior and the Cats that apparently have the kids under scope. Also i'll give the anime its props at how it portrayed homosexuality as an normaility. It was quite weird seeing it so rife as well as how seemingly accepting it is. Especially when you factor in the age group being that it would be social suicide if this were to happen in a similar environment in our reality. -Cross- said: Anyone else surprise that Mamoru is actually a dude? No he was wearing the male uniform. What was surprising to me was the spineless, effeminate member of the group turning out to be the only straight one. |
 |
| If you an't homo you're riding solo~ felt bad for the kid not only that saki had to rub it in his face besides that more important things had me bothered like the Quality dropped again!, and how distance everyone is to each other,also whatever the hell Shun made inside that egg think that boy is going cray cray. |
 |
| This school is pretty gay. Animation was awful. Please get us back on track. I wanna see more MariaXSaki and less gross yaoi. Also Satoru's new bitch had a ridiculous voice. I guess it makes sense though, the thing said that they would fuck like bonobos and they fuck all the time. The Kinsey Scale says that 10% of people are 100% straight, 10% are 100% gay, and 80% fall somewhere inbetween. What uniquelyme91 made a whole lot of sense. I don't understand those who say they're going to drop the show because of this though. |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| im so confused?? Didnt Shun hold saki's hand when they went to watch the stars and then Satoru tried to sleep with her as well and then bam satoru and shun are a couple wtf lol not that i disliked it i love yaoi and yuri but that came out of left field and im left confused lol where is this anime going.. |
| - Marissa Chan! |
| I'm really curious as to what happened between Shun and the mage. He had this evil smirk before he collapses (with great power comes great evil?). Shun's cold demeanor was a bit sudden in this episode but it seems to be for Saki's and Satorou's safety. This could confirm the foreshadowing of the Karmic Demon (Gouma) story and Saki's dream of Shun + the Minoshiro in the earlier episodes. Shun is a genius, but how does he even become like this? And what's the significance of the vinyl record playing? It seems to be one of the few -if not the first- electronic shown in their world. |
| What a tasty episode. Gotta love the yaoi hate from some of our members XD |
 |
| People watching this anime for romance must suffer. 5/5 for causing all that butthurt. And those GL& BL scenes were hot, don't get what's so disgusting about beautiful 2D people loving each other, they are not even real. Besides, it took me almost 3 episodes to figure out that there were boys in that school, they all look like girls, so whatever. |
| > Shun's smile ...how about rather than a "Yeah I'm evil" smile, it's a "That's it, I'm done for" smile of giving up hope ? Both him and Kaburaki know something is wrong and they know what would happen after that. JennyEsquire said: No objection on this. If it's not for the cast he's a lot less annoying. But, I bet he used to be like Mamoru, just waiting for the chance to get Satoru for himself. It's just that they don't like having conflict so he stayed out. Those with tendency of starting conflict like that boy in eps 2 is likely all pruned out by the adults earlier.Also Satoru's new bitch had a ridiculous voice. If Saki would leave Maria, maybe Mamoru will make his move too. Or if given time, maybe Saki will make her approach to Shun too after he breaks up with Satoru. |

Bobjones said: Orulyon said: /clip I have no idea what you are talking about, a person cannot "suffer evolution" because individuals do not evolve, populations do. For a quick explanation of what evolution is, check wiki. Despite believing that homosexuals are entitled to rights like everyone else, homosexuality is REALLY bad in the eyes of evolution. Homosexuality = no reproduction = dead species = no evolution. If everyone turn into homosexuals, it would be REALLY REALLY bad because we would go extinct and I would fight it with every fiber of my soul. |

| Ok, so, can anyone explain me why everyone turned gay in this 2 year gap? I dont think it was like this back when they were 12 years old. And, I don't really mind the yaoi and the yuri. Really, what's the problem? Just skip those parts, if it disturbs you that much. Some people should be more open minded. |
| This episode was so so weird... How come Shun became like that... hope he won't die |
Limechan said: 1. Two years, a lot of things happened.Ok, so, can anyone explain me why everyone turned gay in this 2 year gap? I dont think it was like this back when they were 12 years old. 2. They're 14, and when their body is growing to adulthood sexually, the desire to couple up became stronger, just like teenager in our time starts dating with the person they like. Thus, it just became more apparent to the viewer. 3. They've been like that all along (interested to other boy/girl), but during the first arc (12 years old) we don't see a lot of the other students outside Saki's group. 4. Hunting demonic creature and running from blood-lusted pack of rats doesn't help. Not so much time to snuggle with each others and not like Saki had another girl with her that time, as does Satoru :P |
| That was a great episode. Nice turn of events at the end. Didn't see that one coming. Wonder why they were just observing them and let them go back to a normal daily life? But the animation quality was partly a complete train wreck. Subaru for example at around 03:40.. just disgusting. And I am looking forward to see less hate against homosexuality in future episode threads from now on after half of the viewers dropped it. :P |
 |
| I didn't expect Satoru/Shun scene, but the episode itself was good nonetheless. I also thought the dog looked like Squealer xD |
| So i dont know if someone asked this before but has anyone read the novel? If so, can you tell me if there is more of this yaoi and yuri scenes? A great story ruined for me... but if its just this ep and there is something that explains all the yaoi and yuri then i might consider not dropping it. |

Dude, are you going to get a fucking hernia if you see two guys make out? Grow up. |
| On the first moments of the episode: Dafuq? What the heck just happened in those two years? There is still guys and girls, but they are attracted in their own sex. This series became so warped! Just what the heck is going on? This anime is like so controversial. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Can someone tell me where the dark theme of the first minutes of the first episodes went? I've been waiting for 8 freaking episodes now for something to happen... And then they all turn gay. Yeah, very likely -.- Me disappoint! |
| Poor Mamoru, seems like he was the only one who kept being straight xD |
| i paused this video 5 minutes in just to say HOLY SHIT. i have not had such a similar reaction since Another. |
     |
| My jaw dropped as I watch that episode; I mean where this came from?! I was asking where is the shounen-ai of the season, I had no idea that would see some from Shinsekai, I was looking for something like this in Zetsuen if you could believe that. I always laugh when people drop an anime because of some shounen-ai content, wonder what they are scared off. I'm not into shoujo-ai but if it happen that anime I am interesting in as some in it, I would bare with it for the story because that's what I care about. I feel for Mamoru, you wouldn't almost not notice him. |
kpk10 said: By the way, the animation was really, REALLY BAD in this episode :/ I agree, it was really lackluster. I wonder what happened. |
 |
| T-that's was.. really unexpected.. Shinsekai yuri/yaoi. I'll keep watching anyway. If things getting worse, I'll probably drop it. |
 |
| I'm not homophobic in anyway. I just don't like the fact how the characters start making out with each other even though there wasn't any indication of them being interested. Defenders of the anime say that it's "part of their genetic makeup", which is true I guess. They are supposedly horny monkeys according to the novels (lol). Unfortunately for me this seems like a total dismissal/inconsistency of the character's personality and this leaves me with a bad aftertaste. Satoru just humps anyone he sees and it seems like Mamoru is the only normal one LOL. That is why I dropped the anime PS: Don't get me wrong this is just not my cup of tea. I don't like characters with inconsistent personalities. I really loved the magic aspect of the show. Everything else in this anime was great. |

I still won't drop it yet though, but if it does continue to stay this way or get worse I'll probably drop it. |

I just don't like romance without character relationship development, but supposedly it's part of their society. I just have a hard time accepting that. |
| well, this was some weird shit. ill keep watchin, but i just dont get why they suddenly start been interested in each other |
| Yes! Finally what I have been waiting for all this time YaoiYuritopia *(ﾟヮﾟ)* I love this anime I officially ship Satoru/Shun can't wait to see what happens next. I'm sorry but I just couldn't help but laugh at Saki and Maria's little "face in boobs" moment haha ^w^ Oh and honestly some of you people are acting like big babies dropping the show because of a few gay/ lesbian characters. This anime was confusing at first but I can tell it will only get better and more clearer from now on so keep on watching everyone. |

Not saying im against guy on guy but seriously i think many here have to agree with me that this series is wasted because of this ep. If you wanted to watch some yaoi why not try gakuen heaven or junjou romantica.. |
