Don't let the "cute" cover fool you. This is a straight up 18+ anime. It is very dark and probably one of the best dystopian horror/thrillers I have seen yet. The story centers around a group of kids from age 12 to age 30+ in a future society. The only anime I have seen that is darker or more tragic than this is Berserk. There is no filler. There is no fan service. There are a few short gay scenes of the kids when they were younger. One of the best sci-fi series I have ever watched. You have to watch it in subtitles though. The group who did the dub is just terrible (trust me).
Pros: Art Story is top notch No fan service Adapted from a book Dark/Tragic/Horror/Adventure/Supernatural It's so good, I recommend a 2 day recovery period.
Cons: The dub is bad, and I prefer dub over sub. The subtitles seem to have been changed a bit for an American audience, however, the story is still intact. The cover : I feel bad for all the kids under 18 who stumbled across this film.
Not only one of the best of the season, but truly one of the best I've ever watched. I'm beyond happy I added this title to my collection right from jump street and frankly, knew very little about it beforehand.
The writing is exemplary, the artwork is absolutely astounding from the first scene to the last, the score is wonderful and was thought out and well placed long before laying the audio tracks, the characters are easy to like and understand...some you simply have to love almost immediately. The whole series is both sad and happy, funny and serious. Its touches most emotions in the spectrum but in the end left me feeling completely satisfied. So few have strong endings anymore - and while FTNW certainly "does its own thing" several times and explores routes that are hard to follow or understand at times, it doesn't leave it as such and wraps up everything quite nicely.
Again, one of the best out there - I highly recommend adding to the collection of any anime fan, with no reservations!
Episodes 14-16 finish up the teenage years plot and 17 skips us forward to the characters' mid twenties. The friends have drifted apart into their sperate lives. But they are brought back together when something starts happening in the monster rat community. This builds up to a shocking event that shatters the peace and safety of their village, leading them to take desperate steps towards survival.
I was hooked on this series after the first episode. But I didn't realize the ambitious scope of the series until the end. There are 4 basic plot lines and each one brings up different difficult issues. This set wraps up Mamoru's plot and deals with the terrifying question - if you are certain that your village wants you dead and certain that you can't survive outside of the village, what do you do? The last plot line is the most ambitious, dealing with themes like sentience and freedom.
From the New World was based on a novel and is 25 episodes long. This set contains the final 12 episodes.
To any who say anime is just cartoons or just plain unrealistic need's to see this series,yes it's animated but the story in it could apply to anyplace in the world. It's about how those in power treat those who they consider less, even going so far. As to physically change them so that they match there preconceived idea of not me not mine,and their reaction to not only their repressed who say we are not animals we demand equal rights,and humane treatment but also those of there own family and citizens who say we agree this isn't right or who we say we are there protest were answered you are not like us you never were nor will you ever be,you deserve nothing but what we chose to give you even your life is a gift we give you so be grateful. So like so many other's the oppressed take there freedom,respect and pride at the end of a sword and change there world forever.
I love this anime! I'd say this has to be one of my Top 5 Anime. I enjoyed seeing a story set in the near future where we learn about the changes and development society has experienced through the eyes of a fully rounded character. Also, if you haven't heard of this anime before than you are in for a treat because this is sort of an unexpected surprise because it is unlike much of anything else out there. I wouldn't go as far as to call this completely original and unique, it still follows some common themes in anime, but the progression of the story and dilemmas are entirely their own. Please make sure to give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
