Both yuri and yaoi aficionados can now enjoy their favourite fetish in a single episode of Shinsekai Yori (“From A New World”) – even if it remains exceedingly tame by the standards of the original manga.
Fans of the original can still be forgiven for feeling they are missing out all the same:
I’m surprised that everyone is missing how the writers are portraying free love and especially homosexuality with what seems to be a very conservative Buddhist social outlook. This is highlighted when they compare this type of societal love to that of what apes have, more specifically bonobos. Am I the only who sees the writers shinning a negative light on this culture’s morals?
So much butthurt downvoting…
true.
Those tits in pic #1 are the worst. She needs a doctor.
Moar Yuri!
will buy the manga
Odd. This is the first time I’ve felt the need to outcry about this basically being soft core porn…huh…not sure if it went without saying before, or if I was just lying to myself THAT much…
Omg omg, I did not see this coming-
Yeah, that’s what I’d like to say.. ._. Oh well.
If only the character designers A-1 hires didn’t stuck the same face on every character ina show and if it didn’t happen in pretty much every anime they did I might start watching their stuff again.
Yuri!
YES! HELL DAMN YES! Finally some yuri back into the air waves.
No…just NO
y do they have to kill amano reiko on the first ep!?
Because the village weeds out the weak cantus users as well as users who exhibit deviant personality and those who don’t possess the ability.
Amano Reiko turned out to possess a weak cantus so she was eliminated.
As a certain celebrity would say: Thats hot~
Yaoi pls go….
Indeed. Yaoi is the only stupid flaw that keeps this series from being awesome.
Also that the show looks fugly.
weeeeh i’m an immature manchild how dare there be something i dont like in a series
You suck bitch!.
what are GAY turn of events.
SO WRONG!!!
wasnt this AND the manga based off a novel?
A Brave New World. It’s a story about a dystopia future where the population is appeased by sex and free thinkers are crushed by the government.
The only difference is Brave New World was horseshit. Also, no. It’s directly adapted from a novel titled Shin Sekai Yori.
maybe but you can ditch Orwell that easily, he had an insight into the future way ahead of its time. people who don’t understand the times that are running and how governments act today is because they never read this books.
“The only difference is Brave New World was horseshit” You have to be kidding me right? Brave New World is one of the greatest novels of the early twentieth century, mainly for how prophetic it was. Huxley blows away Orwell with Brave New World or any writer attempting to capture the future at that time.
Actually I believe that this is a novel on its own. Now, you can say that the novel this stuff is based on… is loosely based on The Brave New World.

I believe both the anime and manga are based off the novel, while the manga covers events a little earlier (prequel?).
I correct myself, I just ended the first volume and there’s no yaoi action between Satoru and Shun AT ALL (and no so much yuri either ,apart from the scene of pic 50 to 53, ot’s just some breast grabbing action -bath time-)
@JustLemonz
For how much I’ve read : more yuri than yaoi and the anime is really different form the manga
(manga: you actually do see Reiko beeing killed by the Faze cat and the teacher appear on the scene , during the summer camp they don’t encounter the niseminoshiro and didn’t have their canti sealed nor they learn about the “truth” and they don’t get sepaated before meeting Squealer and his queen (pic 50 onward are from after they reach squealer’s colony).)
i was talking about the SSY manga and anime based off SSY original novel. While Leon says the anime is based off the manga.
Apparently if this is all the shonen Ai/yuri we get from the series, we should be glad
someone who read the novel told me that the amount of gay scenes are disturbngly high
all that yuri paid off after seeing all those fucked up monsters in the original manga
hnnnnnng
Interesting that they balanced out both the yuri and yaoi.
But it seems a majority of the male viewers got turned off by the BL while the female viewers dont seem to give a shit.
because the majority of male anime fans, especially those on this site, are so insecure about their sexuality they feel threatened by the slightest hint of two men getting friendly. And thus have to cause a stink in comments all EWWW GAAAAAY MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM HETERO HRRGH RROOOOAR.
pretty sad really.
about the GL I mean
Lol at your getting voted down. It’s true, the girls watching this don’t mind the yuri at all, while the male viewers are freaking out like crazy at the yaoi. Just stating the facts. I’d rather not see any BL either, but the decent thing to do is enjoying the yuri while ignoring the yaoi without making a fuzz.
There’s also still the manga, which is almost exclusively yuri, so guys have no reason to complain. Dunno how it was in the original novel.
Here. I just ignore the Yaoi. Bara can gross me out but I don’t care as long as it has Yuri.
not all guys were affected by the BL, some of us arent homophobes and just didnt care.
what got me annoyed tho is the strange turn of events, i mean it was clear as day that shin and saki had something going on during their younger days, and satoru always showed his signes of jelousy. heck satorus jelose actions were directed in a way to make him look like he was trying to impress saki, so how in the hell did he and shin become butt-buddies. not to mention the obviouse oddity of everyone forming same sex couples, in the anime at least its like the authour/director completely forgot about coupling of different sexes.
Bah to those male viewers.
They obviously don’t have need hentai to teach them.
Der what?
Why aren’t you in the kitchen?
What is this crap? Why is all this yuri soaking up the valuable screen time? This is the only yaoi this season, it needs maximum exposure (AND PENETRATION!).
Fuck off, fujoshi loser!
creepy dudes wanting to bone lolis are ok here though apparnetly
