Shinsekai Yori episodes 1-8: I watched the first episode and was skeptical. I didn't get what was going on really, but It had potential so I gave it a chance. And I must say, i'm not impressed. The artwork and animation gets worse as the episodes go on, the characters are incredibly unlikeable and have no interesting qualities, am I supposed to care about these characters? I don't. What is the point of a "Break the cutie" story If I don't care what happens to the characters? The plot tries way too hard to make the setting seem horrible, but nothing horrible has actually happened yet, the characters reactions are overblown and there is absolutely no reasoning given for their actions.
The way it is animated makes it hard to tell what is going on most of the time, and when stuff does happen it is incredibly underwhelming. the music seems out of place too. The show doesn't seem to be able to settle on a consistent theme.
Nothing about this show fits right for me. I kept hoping it would get better and I would start to understand what's going on, or I would start caring about the characters, but I didn't and I think I've just wasted my time.
