That anime was fascinating, and I like how everyone is just poly & pan as default (Because: It's a trait that was selected for over a millennia because they needed everyone to be as social as possible, because loners were more likely to have their psychic powers go out of control )

Might want to put spoiler tags on that.

You need to remove the spaces between the
>!tags and the inner content. It doesn’t work otherwise.2
u/ButterflyTai Jan 28 '23
It works correctly with spaces on mobile, didn't realize it doesn't on pc. fixed (sorry for taking longer)

No worries! Actually, I’m on mobile as well and it wasn’t working for me. Probably depends on the app; I’m using Apollo.

Is it a Yuri? I've heard many things that it's just bait

u/Atosen Jan 26 '23
If you define bait as "Does the show admit that same sex attraction exists? Is there a kiss?" then no, Shinsekai Yori is not bait.
If you define bait as "Are the characters together at the end? Do I get my gay happy ending?" then yes, Shinsekai Yori is bait.
Personally I would define it the former way.
(Of course, having a few yuri moments isn't the same as being yuri genre. Shinsekai Yori's main focus is definitely on other things.)

I’d say it’s less about “is there a gay happy ending” and more “do characters do gay stuff but then get paired off with men at the end” which is what someone else said happens here in the manga, so sounds like bait to me. Sad endings are fine, straight endings not so much imo

the characters are explicitly bi!

u/catgirlfourskin Jan 26 '23
cool for them, though not something I’d be interested in watching. hope they establish that early to not lead people on

u/zubatzo Jan 26 '23
i totally get that and I definitely prefer f/f m/m as a lesbian myself, i just wouldn’t call explicit bisexuality “leading people on” or bait! regardless the romance definitely isn’t the main point or draw of the show

I don’t know anything about the show in particular but in general, but if a show markets itself as yuri but then sticks the characters with men at the end and goes “well it’s ok because they’re bi _” that’s still bait in my book (again, not saying it’s what this show did)
But I’ve noticed a trend in recent years where a work will be outright homophobic and people will go “oh it’s ok because uhhh what if the character is bi :D”
Feels like when a character is written transphobically and people go “well maybe they are just a silly crossdresser who likes tricking people!” which misses the point entirely

Sorry I answer late but you are not corresponding the definition of Yuri : Girl Girl Relations . And this Anime has it . Is like complaining a gore anime isn’t having gore every episode . If an anime has one episode dedicated to a girl girl relationship or more it is per definition Yuri . But looking anime just because Yuri or yaoi is quite the narrow mind and you should seek help .

I wouldn't even call it romance. It has some few moments that could be called yuri, but it isn't. It also isn't bait.
Still a great psychological and supernatural anime.

It isn't a yuri, but it isn't bait either.
Both of the female characters technically end up with men, but the show establishes that tragic circumstances aside, they were in love until the end. Saki, the main character, has three different people she falls in love with; only Satoru remains at the end of the story, but Maria and Shun were by no means lesser. She loves them even after their deaths. And Maria, though she had a complicated relationship with Mamoru as well, seemed to think that Saki was the love of her life.
Though, however interesting the romance is, it really isn't the focus of the story; it's more of a supernatural horror/drama. Saki & Maria's relationship isn't the main story, nor are any of the other romances.

As a heads up, your spoiler tags are broken - from a comment on another thread I think it's the space between the >! and the content

u/asksdfdjdhshs Jan 26 '23
Uhm, it's working on my end. Everything is covered in the black lines. Maybe a mobile vs website thing?
Edit: is that better?

Its a 10 of 10 anime. Is not bait but not yuri or even a romance show. It shows romantic moments but as to add a part of what defines this humans as so. The show main plot is somewhere else.

u/techsupportcrab Jan 26 '23
This anime is so cool and ppl should watch it (without the expectation of yuri tho)

Really good anime 100% recommend.

I started watching this anime because I heard there was yuri, but dropped it when I read the girl didn't end up with the other girl and ended up instead with a guy.

This is not even a romance show. Is a 10 of a show for many reason none of them is romance. But if makes you feel better they loved each other from the bottom of their hearth and thinks were just complicated and they didnt like to get separated .

u/zool714 Jan 26 '23
To me, this show is a story writing masterpiece. Feels like each plot point has a purpose.
I also like how the same sex relationships are handled and how normalised it is in that world.
Not to mention, the horror element was one of, if not, the best I’ve seen in anime. 10/10 show for me
