Flawed masterpiece.

Really interesting story, but the adaptation had some flaws. Still, you can feel that the source material is an actual novel instead of the usual light novel fare we get. So much of it is left to interpretation, there's proper use of themes, a unique setting, moral ambiguity, a deliberately open ending, a protagonist that is fairly helpless throughout, it goes on. Most people dropped it because they couldn't follow what was happening and now the only discussion it gets is in the form of Squealer did nothing wrong threads.

Great show. Very thought-provoking without being edgy for no reason. Neither the humans nor Squealer were wrong. Even Saki, who's uselessly idealistic throughout the show, learns in part by the end that things exist for reason. Worth reading the book.

Yea Forums tricked me into seeing it. One of the worst anime I had ever seen. Made it up to episode 9. Seemed like every episode past 2 I was thinking how stupid a character's decision was or how awful the animation and art style is. I was watching the BD, mind you.
I thought the setting was cool.

7.5/10
Interesting world-building, decent music, compelling plot that keeps things interesting. Points docked because I felt like it was baiting and switching me a lot and it's ultimately not that interesting of a story; I didn't appreciate the very slow pace and it's fairly standard as far as post-apocalyptic plots go.
Jonathan Powell
Underrated masterpiece.

Probably the only show that I love and hate at the same time. It's a weird feeling.
