Just finished shinsekai yori... was I the only one who saw parallels to animal farm?

Or am I completely misinterpreting it? Great anime nonetheless. Also I see people online saying this animu was worse than sao... really?

Is this a troll?

>Character's name is literally squealer
>"We are human"
You'd have to be brain-dead not to see the reference to animal farm.

The parallels were in far more than just names. They were everywhere. But that's why I thought I might be been missing something... because the parallels were too obvious, and because I thought animal farm was really only popular in the west.

More than specifically the animal's farm, it's an accurate depiction of the human nature in general. Both the "gods" and the queerats act exactly how humanity would act if it found itself in a similar situation.

>people
It's one guy and he's a tranny, trannies aren't people.

Animal Farm is how the powerful change language and rules at will to suit their own needs, and how workers are immediately discarded and destroyed as soon as they aren't useful.
Shinsekai Yori is about the importance of mental health, self-perception, and how humans are fundamentally unable to control absolute power.

So honestly any similarities are superficial, like Squealer's name.

It's a more similar to The Giver. Humans keeping themselves in check and forgetting they even did it, but it's ultimately recognized as a necessary evil.

It's there but superficial. Squealer is an absolute monster and it's never much of a secret humans and queerats are related. You aren't supposed to sympathize with him in the end, you're supposed to pity him.

Why was it forbidden for two people two use TK on one object?
What was the deal with sealing the tk power? The unsealed kid in the final episodes didn't become a walking nuclear station.
How on earth cats were effective against tk users?
Why deadly guilt was considered a legit control mechanism when the main girl was able to avoid it with some simple mental gymnastics?

I've been wondering about the cats myself. I guess their whole thing was the ability to kill a tk user before he could react

Shit anime.
>Nononono Squealer is the VILLAIN, you’re supposed to feel sorry for and support the psychopat- I mean psychics! Never mind that they’re all completely unlikeable pieces of shit.
Wtf? It’s ok to make Squealer the protagonist, you know. What is it with nip insects and shitting all over their own stories?

You clearly didn't understand the point of the show at all user. Bet you also hate Madoka for similar reasons.
Just because we're given a point of view doesn't means the character in question is right.

If Cantus is used in the same location it creates a distortion. My assumption is that is forbidden due to it being dangerous, but it may also cause some kind of mental feedback that is even more dangerous since two minds are overlapping.

I don't think the power was ever "sealed", just a mental block was placed preventing it from being conciously accessed. Passive cantus pollution was directed outside of Kamisu. We never really learn that the Messiah is "safe", he/she could actually be very dangerous to be around.

The cats were stealthy killers and the kids never knew about them. That's my assumption.

It was presumably one of many different conditioning techniques that Kamisu made use of. As proven by Boy K, simply relying on the same ideas didn't work.

What is it with SSY that makes trannies seethe so hard?

Is that a thing? first I've heard of it

You have to go back.

Look up Digibro

Kill yourself

It has a lot of problems and could've been so much better with a few key changes, but i'm honestly baffled at Digibro saying it's worse than SAO.

It has obvious parallels to the Time Machine. It also clearly shows that instead of eating elois morlocks will be shunned and tortured by them.

One of the better anime because it experimented with interesting themes and didn't do the 08/15 run of the mill story for the millionth time.

Zig Forums whined a lot about the homosexual elements in it because they didn't understand why they existed.
Always remember that the anime community is largely immature and the loudest voices you hear are of those who feel the most self-important needing their ego boost to survive another day.

When you say someone isn't a person, you are saying they are beneath moral consideration. If that's what you mean, you should take a breath and take a look at what led you to believe it is your right to judge people who have a very different life experience from you. Try to imagine, really imagine that you are inhabiting a body that does not match your gender identity. Then imagine people treat you the way you do others. It's a simple trick that will save a lot of time if you ever stop being hateful for no good reason.

I would post a soijak but i don't want to lose this IP

>animal farm
wrong book bro shin sekai yori is based on h. g. wells the time machine

>a body that does not match your gender identity

So imagine being crazy.

All of us are what we are born as,a dog meowing does not make it a cat even if the dog thinks it is a cat.

Only insane people would say they are not what they are born as,they should accept reality like the rest of us instead of putting ourselves in the shoes of somebody crazy.

>All of us are what we are born as
Wow, a literal newborn posting.

I'm seeing some lovely analysis of this show that doesn't make up for the fact that 90% of the run time is brain-numbing exposition and characters that completely change their morals and motivations with the weather
>but that's the point
Doesn't make it good, enjoyable or interesting.

And yes, Squealer was in the right.

Not my fault you keep running from reality even more than the average Zig Forums user.

Heck imagine being a bird if you want as well,its your right to be delusional.

Well, it's you who claimed that you are newborn.

I am a lamia.

bump

Does anyone have a clip of the i am human speech Squealer gives?

>When you say someone isn't a person, you are saying they are beneath moral consideration.
Yes, trannies are.
Do I have any moral consideration for the man who believes in his heart of hearts, that if only Wellington and the Prussians hadn't spitroasted him that he'd be ruling France instead of being locked in this funny padded cell?
Of course not.

>Just because we're given a point of view doesn't means the character in question is right.
Sure but the psychos are implied to be in the right when they were clearly fucked up.

>the psychos are implied to be in the right
How?
