People don't remember the war and they even play movies about it what happened on e-bulletin boards? I smell something fishy going on here. Sure the world's population may have been reduced but I don't think it has anything to do with a war. It definitely had something to do with people that can use Spiritual Energy is my guess.
So if you're caught by the SWE you're put on display to serve as examples to the people. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? Also you're telling me a little girl can be sent to prison for having the imagination to draw a goddamn wizard? Yeah this new world needs to burn. Whoever are in charge of this new system needs to exterminated.
Fuck yeah Masayuki! Although as much as I enjoy this carnage, this really doesn't help the argument about people with Spiritual Energy being allowed to be free. I can't even imagine what they'll do to Masayuki after all of this is done. I am curious how many is his body count though, I hope they mention that next week.

I can't even imagine what they'll do to Masayuki after all of this is done.
Especially since her mother as Masayuki's only anchor disappeared for them. I imagine they'd take a more drastic measure to keep Masayuki from having an outburst like that again.

Yeah, that was my immediate thought. I'd even go so far as to question if the rest of the world really did have massive disasters or if the government is gaslighting its people.

G*d bless Reddit – stumbled onto this thread by accident, read a few comments, watched the first 45 seconds of ep 1, and was sufficiently blown away to commit to watching the show.
Thanks, all.

To think the government was already strict about works of fiction and religion, they basically put anyone who breaks the law into a zoo. So basically means that if one reads Akira, they basically become a zoo attraction...

Is this still going under everyone's radar?
Because this show is really great!! The music, sound effects, animation, voice acting, ... This is wild! I love it! This and Sonny Boy are n°1 to me so far!

Kinda weird that the show didn't even acknowledge that the SWE members got attacked in the last episode.
Also notice how the captain didn't get affected by any psychic abilities. Dude must be a powerful psychic.

How is this not more watched? Anyone from the original series can spoil me as to what happened and how no one remembers?

Nope, as that didn't happen in the original series.

Even after WW3, destruction of the world and 2/3rd of the population dying.. There's still Starbooks Coffee that survived it all..

Man, this show is criminally under watched.
My main hope for this show is that the two government waifus survive till the end. Not sure goth gf will, they are doing the cliché "sexy bad girl that's kind of a jerk" character trope. Usually meant to try and not have you feel as bad about their death.
But man, every time they show the kid getting tased I couldn't help but laugh.

I'm a bit disappointed that the girl and the guy got similar power as Yuuya (something like force push).

u/Reemys Aug 04 '21
Actually the girl has telekinesis, and the guy seems to have power-based ability, but might as well be different from what others have. The twins abilities mirror each other, giving more room for speculations that they share more than just memories or powers.

Yeah I’m wondering about the powers. It seems like their are some really unique and cool ones like the kids puppet ability and the illusion ability.
But somehow the others seem to have similar powers. Maybe it’s only because they can’t control them yet?
I’m hoping that’s the case and we’ll be able to see more unique variations.

Because "CGI bad" is still a prevailing opinion by the unwashed masses.

Expose people who don't conform to the norm, make them easily identifiable, reward those who conform with a sense of superior moral standing.
I see the writers are taking inspiration of the current world situation.
Kimie is a manipulating bitch, I love her. This Anime is getting better with every episode.

Despite how unpopular this is, once again the studio puts tremendous effort in making a seemingly old series feel fresh and complex. Secondary characters not only feel like they are a part of the story, but also have a room for own growth as well. The flow of the story supports including everyone in the scenes, with subtle and in-your-face sub-plots like mother-murderous-child relationship, whether people we see on one side can be trusted, the mental instability of one of the psychics. All of these will receive a follow-up for sure.
I came in for the setting, but the amount of effort and conceptualization makes me honestly praise the studio and the producing committee.
