There is a middle ground. also I don't believe people somehow become worthy of technology, it just is. your great-grandfather is no less worthy of the internet than you.
>The technology was crap in the series, it didn't even bother to show a single negative consequence.
would have been easy to show someone accidentally burn away their life in a time dilation or companies forcing people to work crazy hours because they don't need sleep(electricity is not where the human needs end). someone falling into endless sleep because another version of them kept staying up all the time.

It still sucks that they spent the entire series endearing this character to the audience only to put him through such a cruel and unusual death, and didn't even try to work with him to find an alternative solution.
We're right, you're wrong, so instead of trying to find a middle ground, we're just going to kill you. Even if Shindo's original plan had worked, he still would have been trapped in the isolator for eternity, which isn't a much better fate.

To be fair, free infinte energy also means adding more and more energy to a limited system. A drastic increase in energy consumption would heat up the planet, because most energy is lost as heat with our current technology.

I am talking about the "this is the right way because it is the way of our people and it always has been" logic that served as the special snowflake's logic to justify ruining uplifting for all of humanity instead of trying to negotiate a way in which we could keep the awesome tech and also not die, when she and the protag were both supposed to be amazing negotiators.

The fact that the villain ended up a bland character that had to have a secret, completely absurd agenda, that required the deaths of thousands of millions, and thus made negotiating useless is precisely a sign of the closemindedness of the author.

Kado was an allegory for the current crisis Japan is undergoing as it faces increased foreign cultural influence and declining birthrates.
The anisotropic represents the siren call of information from different dimensions (representing current Japan's addiction to 2D media). Japan needs to fight against being absorbed completely by the anisotropic otherwise it will lose itsself.
zaShunina represents the evil of non-breeding, not homosexuality per se, but the temptation to be a non-productive, non-child producing individual who does little to contribute to the preservation of Japanese culture and society for the future.
The anisotropic temptation was overcome by the worthy act of procreation which allows the Japanese people to continue as a nation.
In a nutshell - BE PRODUCTIVE. MAKE BABIES.

The thing is, the actual idea of artificially pushing us forward with the three gifts was never actually proven to be a bad thing by the show.

There's no such thing as free lunch.
If a foreign entity offers you so, then you'll be dumb not to expect that it wants something in return.
If it doesn't explicitly state what exactly that it wants to you, then there's a high chance that what it wants is not a good thing for you.

The series wants to tell the viewers not to rely or assume help from foreign entities.
Misrepresenting that and dumb it down to 'conservatism for the sake as conservatism' just because you happened to disagree with the message is just plain dishonest.

I think this is one of the worst endings in anime I have ever seen.

Copy pasta.


The wam, all the gifts
- it's like it never fucking happened.

Hanamori and Yukika
- why the hell did they need Hanamori to raise Yukika? I understand Shindo trying to not look older but what about Tsukai? Can she stay young forever?
It would explain why Yukika doesn't seem to give a shit about her parents. She doesn't even acknowledge her mother and doesn't even look sad that Shindo is dead. Then she proceeds to fuck off. It's like she is telling them "this is all you wanted me to do? I am done, I am leaving" what a fucking sad family.

Shindo probably just used her mother so that he could have a backup plan and Yukika probably knows that's the whole purpose of her existence and Tsukai probably figure it out too eventually considering she grew up having an actual loving father and a real family instead of the bullshit they put her through. Plus she just stood there and didn't do shit. Also fuck Natsume for saying that Hanamori is not Yukika's father. He is the closest thing Yukika has for a family and that's sad.

Show about negotiations
- shonen fight end.

It's bad end for everyone

1. she was not raised normally. 2. her dad is not really dead to her because as a super special being she can talk to the dead in their dimension.

I imply nothing of the sort. Expecting something and knowing something is a completely different concept.

In the series, Japan decided to bet against that while the UN did otherwise.
The show only progresses to show the most likely outcome in the setting.

>they thew away even the good. also never asked the will of the people
Saraka asked her daughter to disable them as to being responsible by preventing all the various negative affect the gifts can have to humanity.
True there might be a positive effect as well. But this just describes that she rather prevent the negative than allow the positive. Which is an entirely justifiable action for one's character in terms of responsibility.

That is for the character in the series to make the choice.
Saraka's choice might not be optimal in everyone's interpretation because it doesn't need to be that way in terms of storywriting.
It only has to be justifiable, and her actions is perfectly justifiable.
Whether she asked her daughter to disable the gifts out of responsibility to prevent a preventable potential disaster or whether she believed that humans would be better of to reach that level technology by themselves.

>>159222719
>If a foreign entity offers you so, then you'll be dumb not to expect that it wants something in return.
The start of the fucking show had the protagonist talk about how negotiation is about finding a way in which all parts can fulfill their interests. That is a correct assessment of real world politics, foreign or internal parties be involved. It would have been nice to see the author creating a situation where that would have come into play.

But no, the villain HAD to have a plan that involved risking the lives of ALL humanity, possibly to gain nothing, and showing no patience to achieve it despite perceiving time much differently than humans. JUST so there was no option but telling the foreign entity to fuck off.

It is conservatism for the sake of conservatism because the antagonist is given a goal that the protagonist wouldn't ever consider letting him achieve, and the effects of the antagonist's intervention on humanity are dismissed without giving them the slightest scrutiny. The female lead's logic makes no sense and she looked in the wrong right until the villain admitted he didn't really care about sacrificing all humans for a small chance of getting one into the anisotropic. Had the work portrayed the destructive effects of the alien technology on the world, or had the antagonist been given a more realistic goal, then it might be a properly justified stance on isolationism. But it was not.

He'd possibly look around nervously, keep his hands close to his chest or mouth, and tail very closely to the new anisotropic as if it will protect him.

True, and when the other party hides or avoid their interests, then there's a good chance that the other party is aware that his interests contradicts yours.

>Had the work portrayed the destructive effects of the alien technology on the world
It does shows but not explicitly. In fact, it would only be naive to assume infinite power, time/space manipulator or mental anisotropic won't have disastrous effects on the world.

>antagonist been given a more realistic goal
What other goal/interest for an anisotropic being has that one would classify as realistic?
The entity has been living since the start of the universe and human concepts such as mortality wouldn't regard to him properly.
His goals/interest might not seem realistic to you or humans in the series, but the same cannot be said to an anisotropic being.

>True, and when the other party hides or avoid their interests, then there's a good chance that the other party is aware that his interests contradicts yours.
And so? You can negotiate those by finding middle grounds. In fact, in real world politics it is common that some of your interests contradict some of your other interests, which leads to the complex bullshit that most politicians have to deal with.

>It does shows but not explicitly. In fact, it would only be naive to assume infinite power, time/space manipulator or mental anisotropic won't have disastrous effects on the world.
But why does it not show them? The conflict these technologies would cause would lead to more conflicts much better suited for a team of negotiators than the ones we do see in the show and wouldn't have required superpowered daughter to be solved.

>anisotropic beings I don't have to explain shit
Cthulhu might have an agenda we don't understand, but the real agenda behind all of his actions will be the writer's agenda. And the writer's agenda in this tory was creating an antagonist that couldn't be reasoned with. And that is because he was created as a strawman to be burned.

>>159224672
Not that guy. And the part I call "conservatism for the sake of conservatism" is the female lead's logic for cutting off the anisotropic, which is more or less presented as the logic of the show. And I call it that because there is no proper development to her logic. Things are better the way they are because that is the way they have always been. That is about how deep her logic goes and that logic is the root logic of conservatism in all its historical forms. It was the logic of conservatism when it was in favor of mercantilism and it is the logic of conservatism nowadays when it favors free markets.

Again. I wouldn't call it that if the logic was well developed, but it was not. Negative consequences of the technology were NEVER presented in the show. Especially for the Sansa.

I'm not sure where you are going with this, but if you're meaning to conflate an infinite power source and time/space manipulator with railways and cellphones because in the past people have different opinions on something then I don't know what to say to you.

>I'm not sure where you are going with this, but if you're meaning to conflate an infinite power source and time/space manipulator with railways and cellphones because in the past people have different opinions on something then I don't know what to say to you.
Im trying to say that humans adapt to new conditions. There is never the "right" time or "natural" time for phones or infinite power. times change, they could have worked out a deal. The usual "if we don't take it then someone else will" kept poping up so it turned out that one of the negotiators has been an anisotropic all along so they could now chose isolationism till the time it was convenient to them.
>>
>>159225814
But this is not her logic. The female lead says that so far "human development" has always been "natural" and it should stay "natural" and the alien technology is bad because it is "not natural". By her logic, if humans were to develop infinite energy on their own, it would be fine, and it would somehow be "natural" in the same sense as a jellyfish's evolution.

Moreover, what was wrong with the Sansa? Nobody even suggested possible negative consequences for it at any point and it was eliminated as well.
>>
>>159225794
>And so? You can negotiate those by finding middle grounds
Negotiation on succeed when both party are willing to.
If zaShunina won't compromise to get his anisotropic companion asap, then there is nothing Shindo can do.

>But why does it not show them? The conflict these technologies would cause would lead to more conflicts much better suited for a team of negotiators than the ones we do see in the show and wouldn't have required superpowered daughter to be solved.
Same as above, I don't think you quite get how much gap there is between humanity and anisotropic beings, if they don't have a stake as much as they had with the daughter then negotiations are not possible to begin with.

>And the writer's agenda in this tory was creating an antagonist that couldn't be reasoned with. And that is because he was created as a strawman to be burned.
Well I can't change how one interpret something entirely, it is your prerogative to assume what the writer was thinking when he writes the story. But I can tell you that from the perspective of the anisotropic beings, it is only natural that zaShunina acts the way he acts. The writer didn't add in an unexpected element to the setting to change how behave. In fact, it would have been so if zaShunina as a being that lives more than a billion years suddenly cares about mortality and what not.

>is the female lead's logic for cutting off the anisotropic, which is more or less presented as the logic of the show
>>to disable the gifts out of responsibility to prevent a preventable potential disaster or whether she believed that humans would be better of to reach that level of technology by themselves

Shindo wasn't willing to compromise either.

The show does present it in a subtle manner, if you pay attention to the soundtrack/atmosphere when the gifts are being showcased to the masses, you'd notice. In fact, you'd have to be naive that those kind of 'gifts' would not cause a potentially disastrous effects to the society.

Wow what a trainwreck this show was. I would not have been opposed to a "to be continued" ending instead of the one I just watched. So much potential but not enough time it seems like.

and it literally ended with a deus ex machina.
>>
>>159226319
What could Shindo compromise about though?

The anisotropic were not willing to wait and risk humanity's overall existence. They were dead set on ascending 1+ humans as soon as possible, even if that meant the rest of the race died.

Shindo could of said, "give us more time to reach the anisotropic by ourselves" and they'd go "no". ZaShunina would say no harder because he wanted to bring Shindo in particular.

>>
>>159226459
it was clear that other anisotropic's had no real will in this case and ZaShunina's insistence was born of misunderstanding. This is common in mediation, after all if it was clear cut there would be no need for mediators
>>
>>159226459
>What could Shindo compromise about though?
Maybe just accepting zaShu's offer to go with him on the condition he leave the rest of humanity out of it? There is no doubt in my mind that zaShu would have accepted those terms. It was selfish of him to refuse (especially since dying was apparently part of his gambit), when he could have saved literally everyone (including himself) by putting the needs of the entire world before himself.
>>
>>159226028
>>159226247
>There is never the "right" time or "natural" time for phones or infinite power
Infinite power or time/space manipulator poses an astronomically different drawbacks than phones. Infinite power results in infinite and uncontrollable amount of heat energy as most electrical appliances converts excess energy to heat. I wouldn't even have to give example to a time/space manipulators.

>natural argument
The natural argument is not as arbitrary as you think/presented.
A natural development means there is no one responsible for the possible negative effects.

>>159226278
>Negotiation on succeed when both party are willing to.
>If zaShunina won't compromise to get his anisotropic companion asap, then there is nothing Shindo can do.
Then why put a fucking "master negotiator" in the lead role?

But we know he is acting weird because it turns out that anisotropic beings have been interested in Earth for millions of years and sent probes to collect data, but he is the first to intervene. He himself admits being a "weird one".

>The writer didn't add in an unexpected element to the setting to change how behave. In fact, it would have been so if zaShunina as a being that lives more than a billion years suddenly cares about mortality and what not.
The author has control over everything added to the setting unless he is writing a biographical/historical novel.

>to disable the gifts out of responsibility to prevent a preventable potential disaster or whether she believed that humans would be better of to reach that level of technology by themselves
The author didn't choose to have her tour us through an episode that showed us the way in which achieving things through hard work mattered to improving spiritually or something like that. The author DID choose to have her tell us about how cool outdated traditions are and somehow compare an animal's evolution process through chance with humanity's technological progress through the scientific method
>>
>>159226459
Perhaps turn the tables on the Anisotropic by introducing the child instead of using her to kill/remove the Anisotropic. To the Anisotropic, the child would resemble a sort of new technology and advancement for both Humanity and the Anisotropic which seems to be the "right answer".

Since the child is literally more powerful than the Anisotropic she would probably control the entire situation, just like zaShun in the beginning.
>>
>>159226620
zaShu backed of when it became clear that Shindo would stop being shindo even if it worked. also there is like 0. chance of it working.

Shindo was negotiating for ZaShunina.
Tsukai was negotiating for humanity/japan.

Well yes, without that event then there will be no show to begin with.

True, but the author are still restricted to common sense and natural progression of plot and character.

>>159226613
Wrong. All that was stated was that naturalism wasn't completely uncommon in the anisotropic (just an eccentric one). ZaShunina is still, based off his resources, acting as the "official" stance of Novo here.

>>159226620
>Maybe just accepting zaShu's offer to go with him on the condition he leave the rest of humanity out of it?
This was never an option. It was stated multiple times that the majority of humans would be destroyed to ensure the process of ascending a human was created successfully. Shindo agreeing to go by himself would literally be saying "hey, leave me for last so I survive". And even then, zaShunina decided ansiotropic Shindo wouldn't be the same as human Shindo, and didn't want that.

>>159226660
This I could see. The daughter deus ex machina could of been used as a deterrant and forceful way to ensure non-genocidal cooperation. Instead she only shows up after he dies. Probably just bad/gimmicky writing.

>>
>>159227283
>Instead she only shows up after he dies
She literally kills zaShun or demonstrates that she is more powerful than the Anisotropic Beings. She even says she has a greater understanding of this Universe and the Anistropic and even zaShun, I believe, acknowledges this.

Instead she shows up, removes zaShun/everything Anisotropic because her "mother" asked her too, and then disappears. Hanamori is more of a parent.

>>159227623
>why is the child more powerful
because she claims to have "a greater understanding of the Anistropic and the Universe" and mostly because of plot reasons.

>>why would it care to be involved in this situation?
Just another plot hole to hand-wave away. or maybe instill some sort of humanity in her through Hanamori. (This would be how I hand-wave it.)

They are not that person. humanity had a choice on accepting or not. you could argue that more disclosure was needed and many other peoples opinions should have been consider(which does not happen in rl when advancement comes knocking) but she just took their choice. hell going back to the negotiation I expected her to argue on behalf of humanity, instead of Shindo turning on his client

noShindo makes him understand but zaShunina is all "If I can't have you no one can" he kills Shindo while crying, he foresaw all his technological tricks because he was the one who gave them wam and knew the professor could come up with anti weapons. zaShunina carries Shindo towards his big altar where they can watch humanity get boosted. suddenly le twist, turns out Shindo, knew that zaShunina knew so his real master plan was to get killed and act as a distraction. while a magic kid he had in a pocket dimension was raised by his best friend to fight zaShunina. the way they kill zaShunina is very sad

I would've been fine with it, if they somehow hinted or foreshadowed this.
We only see how the Anisotropic affect Humanity, we do not see any of Humanity affect the Anistropic other than:
Humanity can be a source of info/pleasure? for the Anisotropic
Anisotropic Beings gain (yandere) emotions (not counting tsukai since she was there since the beginning and grew up as a human (This tangentially touches on how she recognized herself as a reincarnation of an Anisotropic Being in the form of a human/other forms))

Both of which have nothing to do with an Anisotropic Being (who is human in-form) mating with a Human. If they somehow explained more about the bodies the Anistropic Beings are in, like zaShun body, is it fully human? etc. Then they would have had some more leeway to pull shit like this.

>>159228390
>But the infinite power through balls and the immaterial cubes isn't any better of a writing than kid in a time sphere.
It is when those objects are laid out, from the start, as within the rules of the universe being written. The anisotropic concepts were introduced as the foundation of the story. "Hey, this is what's going on here, and here is the explanation for each instance, and here is how it all fits into the confines of what I'm writing."
Yukika's existence absolutely shatters the rules of the universe that were written up till then. Okay, sure, this was intentional on Shindo's part; he wanted something rule-shattering. But to have this complete gamechanger whisk in and blow wide everything we had been told till then, and to have it happen in the last few minutes of the final episode, is bad writing. You don't shit all over the universe you created with no warning and no precedence.
The vague mythological references throughout the show don't count as warning, by the way.

>if you started from episode 0
I was still hoping for negotiations even up until the end. When the Tsukai reveal happened and people started saying that the author was vilifying ZaShunina, I thought they were overreacting.

I was expecting that the compromise would be that ZaShunina would wait until earth goes to the anisotropic themsleves. All he would have to do is set his time to be 1minutes=1billion years and if they still aren't there yet, zap them to the anisotropic. Problem solves, he either lives with new earth or give new old a chance to survive from the death of its planet. He can take Shindo as well, why not he was gonna kill himself anyways.

>>159228779
and that is what Tsukai did. people who do not judge and engage the issue often complain about the results but the truth often is that "wrong vote" and direction of the country can often be traced to general apathy of its people or reluctance to engage. There are always reasons, often understandable but there is still a cause and effect. Tsukai had the power to prevent many "potential disaster" in history but she chose not to move, even in the end she had all the cards, she could have told the kid to do anything and yet this is what she chose and I will judge her for it and I will not agree with it.

this isn't a point. the author can't be expected to explain how alien devices work. the endless energy ball and immaterial cube are fine because they're supposed to illustrate that the alien technology is simply far beyond human comprehension - almost like magic. the show has tons of problems but that isn't one of them.

Its even better than "nothing personal, kid"
>>
>>159229028
>Tsukai had the power to prevent many "potential disaster" in history but she chose not to move
From the very start it was like this, she should have felt the moral responsibility to educate zaShunina on what it was like to go native.

Regardless of how valid your statement is, I fail to understand why it is relevant to the discussion. I am not judging as the viewer, not as a character in the series.

>Tsukai had the power to prevent many "potential disaster" in history but she chose not to move
She was there on earth as an observer. It was only when Shindo was nearly killed by zaShunina that she broke her 'promise'.

>even in the end she had all the cards, she could have told the kid to do anything and yet this is what she chose and I will judge her for it and I will not agree with it
Even more so than to prevent disaster, she did what she did to preserve the 'humanity' of humanity. As shown that she did nothing to prevent researchers to continue researching anisotropic after all that events, she believed that humanity would be better of to reach that level of technology by themselves.
>>
>>159229348
I think she can be blamed for it, actually. I'll never not be butthurt that nobody thought to stop and see how being exposed to and absorbing human qualities was affecting zaShunina, and Tsukai was the individual in the best position to do so. This show was all about showcasing and questioning moral responsibility, and her lack of it there is something I see as a huge failing.

To be perfectly honest, I don't get the symbolism behind the opening of this show. Why is zaShunina standing in a forest and why is associated with it if he is unnatural?

>>159229551
I was trying to point the fact
>>Tsukai had the power to prevent many "potential disaster" in history but she chose not to move

As you guys have continued the discussion based on a potentially inaccurate premise.
>>
>>159229448
well we did not get to see it even on the human side. I mean if zaShunina can shit out wam and do other magic who is to say he did not brainwash shindo or that all his freed people are not clones or sleeper against, I mean who knows what fucked up shit he could have done before his humanity kicked in but no one questions it outside the box. even the ending, I wonder how many will buy into shindo's story and how many will say there was some accident with the box and zaShunina sacrificed himself to save everyone. a lot of anime have dealt with such situations and its strange that one seemingly focused on it just glanced over it all, its more half assed than gatchaman

Even so, you contradict yourself a bit with

>Even more so than to prevent disaster, she did what she did to preserve the 'humanity' of humanity.
Not to mention, ultimately, she didn't need to reveal herself as an anisotropic being in order to measure out zaShunina's mental state and offer him some guidance. Instead of behaving antagonistically toward him (or behind his back) from the get-go, she could have taken the time to ask him what he was feeling and what he thought about things.
Maybe it wouldn't have worked. Maybe the only person he would have ever answered truthfully was Shindo. Maybe the gesture would have been entirely fruitless. But the point is she didn't try in the slightest, and only sought to sway other people away from him.
>>
>>159229521
I never made that point in my post, though. I think you're mistaking me for the other Anon

granted, perfect human/alien hybrid makes absolutely zero sense and I don't think the author understands the traits he gave to his aliens.
>>
>>159229652
Yes, and she 'promise' to herself to act like an observer to that cocoon.
If she was being active and preventing disasters from the start then maybe the dinosaurs wouldn't have to be extinct.
>>
>>159229603
>I mean who knows what fucked up shit he could have done before his humanity kicked in but no one questions it outside the box.
This is because it was made clear to most viewers, and then explicitly stated by staff, that zaShunina arrived as an entirely pure-hearted creature with idealistic intentions and a trusting nature.

>>159228011
But that's how it ended anyways. She killed zaShunina and likely acted as a deterrent from the rest of the anisotropic from trying again. She was literally just a big gun created to force the anisotropic to fuck off, whereas she could of been a symbol to say "hey, look at what you can achieve with humanity as it currently exists."

>>159228132
I think her deal was that humanity was a source of absurdly OP information whereas the anisotrpoic were higher dimensional. If you mix those two things, you have higher informational anisotropic beings, above the normal ones. Not the whole "diluted" blood/power thing.
>>
>>159229685
>you contradict yourself a bit with
Can you elaborate a bit?

>But the point is she didn't try in the slightest
Tsukai knows that zaShunina's interest contradicts hers to begin with. She knows he want to bring humanity to the anisotropic and Tsukai doesn't wish for that to happen.
>>
>>159228958
He wanted specifically Shindo to come with him, and he failed to convince him, so he go to the option of "if i cant have you, no one will"
He was gonna take the earth to the anisotropic OUT OF SPITE, even when he already knew forcing them was not "the right answer" his emotions clouded his toughs.

But yeah, i wish the ending would have been one where both parties where happy, like a negotiation... or maybe that was the idea, killing zaShunina was better that living eternity without his Shindo, and maybe he can also be with him in that other dimension.
>>
>>159229729
you have a point. If dinosaurs did not go extinct than there may not be humanity, she chose her path but did not stick with it when it came to extra dimensional, despite it not really being different from any other situation or aliens just rolling in town. she made a change that will have effect lives of billions and then fucked off.
>>
one of my biggest gripes in this show is actually how uninvolved humans are and yet all the talk is about humans staying human. you put this world-changing technology shit into your story but narrative-wise human perspective is nearly worthless. and it's mouthpiece was literally an alien until the show went full shounen.

and its a bad ending. doing the same in a different way is not much better
>>
>>159229830
Both of those statements seemed a little at odds--she the catalyst for her intervention was the prevention of a disaster (Shindo's death) and yet her reason for intervening was something that hadn't caused her to intervene up until then? Anyway, in the interest of not being nitpicky, that's not really the important part. Rather, to address the second part of your post, I'll say it's very sad when an allegedly extraordinary negotiator chooses to give up before even trying just because she doesn't agree with the other party.
>>
>>159229903
Still better than what we got. But yes, her not existing would of been ideal.
>>
>>159229835
>she chose her path but did not stick with it when it came to extra dimensional
If so, then she would have intervened the moment zaShunina went to Japan.
Its more likely she couldn't stick with her promise when Shindo is getting killed, which is supposed to be the romance of the story I guess.
>>
>>159229870
Sure, but the first part of your post made it sound like the audience should be questioning whether or not zaShunina was evil.

This. cooking professor does not count

>>159229677
Completely unrelated but I thought it would be quite funny if zaShunina ends up becoming a mangaka somehow.

Its not just disagreeing, rather being completely contradictory.
But even if she was to negotiate as an anisotropic, then she would have to break her promise of not interfering as an anisotropic.
>>

>>159230089
>Negotiators negotiate contradicting opinions, desires, and actions
I think you have a slightly unrealistic opinion to negotiation. Negotiators find middle ground or compromises between multiple interest or agendas. There are logically no common ground between zaShunina's and Tsukai's interest which are accelerating humanity to go to anisotropic and humanity stays being humanity.

>>159230160
Yes, you just haven't considered the possibilities of such in a scifi setting where multiple dimensions of self entity exists with its concept of Anistropic & information
>>
>>159230244
First of all, what you described as negotiation doesn't contradict what I said, so please don't condescend. Second, I disagree with the idea that there was absolutely zero compromise to be found between the two. Even if that is true, Tsukai didn't bother to check and make sure. There was zero attempt from her side to find any measure of middle ground. Say that's the logical action to take all you want, but it was pointed out earlier in the thread that Tsukai chose not to move. Whatever her reasons were, I'm saying I disagree with it and how it was (and wasn't carried out), I and think it sucked.
>>159230462
So do you want individual choice or not? If someone chooses to stay in the shittier situation, that's on them. Other people shouldn't be held back from progress just because someone isn't ready and doesn't want to deal with being left behind.
>>
>>159230462
But they go by their own choice. If this were to happen and Tsukai fought actively against it then she would be no different than zaShunina at his worst, when he tried to move everyone into the anisotropic by force.
>>
>>159230432
>zashu gives the earth a chance and decides to wait until they naturally progress or break themselves

Tsukai wishes for humanity to keep being humanity.

If it's that what it boils down then no one can change your mind.

I never implied anywhere in the thread that I am for that. In fact I explicitly said otherwise, since there's no such thing as a truly individual choice since those choices would affect another individual in one way or another.

>If someone chooses to stay in the shittier situation, that's on them. Other people shouldn't be held back from progress just because someone isn't ready and doesn't want to deal with being left behind.
Regardless of the morality or the validity of that statement, it is not in the interest of Tsukai. Therefore she made no effort to negotiate that.

>>159230631
>implying its not

Yeah, I understand that, it's made clear and I'm not arguing it. I'm saying all these things are very poor of her and she could have done them differently but chose not to. I'm not arguing her position or questioning her motivation, I'm condemning her (in)actions.

>>
>>159230853
I don't understand your point. Shindo's character is largely irrelevant to human perspective. For the majority of the show, Tsukai was pushed as the mouthpiece of human perspective while Shindo was established as the neutral entity who was open to zaShunina's existence.
>>
A friend pointed this out and i kinda agreed altough it could have been show in a better, less flashy way...

"If you take this ending at face value, it seems absolutely ridiculous, but think about the themes and final message this show has been trying to push since ep0. They just decided to show it to us in a flashy way.

It's about how to "advance", how to improve. What is the right answer for advancement. The entire plot/theme of ep0 is basically the layout for ep1 - ep12 - New foreign tech? Not the right answer - Negotiation? Only takes you so far

The solution (the right answer) for both ep0 and ep12 were to make a new generation. I originally thought the show would end with zaYandere somehow merging with Shindo to make a new generation, but this is 200% better and also has the added bonus of more concretely pushing Japan's "plz hab babies" agenda

Also for why zaShunina and Shindo died: They tried Shindo's normal answer, of negotiation, he had some faith it could work. When it didn't the half saiyan kid was the backup plan"

in ep 0 Shindo dragged an uninterested party yo the table, promised him money and the guy stayed because of nepotism. negotiation worked fine until zashu was stable.

In the beginning when she has a 'job' to represent humanity, she works at a different set of interests. She's being professional which is why Wam and Sansa gets to the public hands eventhough she doesn't agree with it.

Hanamori actually plays a decent role in defeating one of the literal gods. And raising a 16 year old takes resources that the government/humanity would certainly plays a role in.

Also don't forget the red herring armor. Even if it doesn't work it still play a role that enable zaShunina to suspect that Shindo had nothing else but that.

>>
>>159231470
Episode 0 was the strongest episode. But my point is that the show thinks all of that is irrelevant and has no problem shitting all over itself in favor of baby end. How many subplots were dropped for Tsukai and Shindo to fall in love and fuck? Why do you think so many people feel Tsukai's character is poorly developed? Because the show took 8 episodes discussing things that matter like negotiation and limitless energy (probably the most important thing they've introduced and I think the author legitimately has no idea what the fuck he's writing about) instead of developing her, and then it was time to get to the right answer so they dropped everything they were doing and rushed towards it. The answer was reproduction all along; the show clearly indicated that his daughter is the best end among potential ends for humanity.
>>
>>159231776
more is need, news guys were a good start but they did nothing with them. same with gov, nothing but evacuations. Why did Shindo need to think of the armor, why was not gov already working on it? It often feels like shit does not get moving unless shindo prods someone.
>>

I heard it was supposed to be 2 cour, but got slashed into 1. Not entirely sure though.

Speaking of which, how did Shindo and Saraka even get out of that isolator themselves? Did I miss something? At one point everyone could enter it, hakase with Hanamori even came to them, and then everybody just left the prison. How? And if they could do it ZaShu could have possibly done it too.

Why did they turn him into some stilted yandere lover when the show wanted to do exactly what he was planning in the end? Tsukai and Shindo are literally the only ones opposing. Could they not find any other way to make Tsukai relevant outside a romance subplot?

Because he had already seen humanity wasn't ready to go to the anisotropic but wanted to go through with his plan.

Speaking of which, what exactly did he say when he revealed Tsukai was an anisotropic being? I can't remember.
>>
>>159235433
>was stopped by Tsukai who had ran away with him.
So he wanted to capture them in isolator, but he couldn't? Why is that? And if Saraka could prevent their imprisoning by creating her own safe space, why ZaShunina wouldn't be able to do the same against Shindo's plan to imprison him? Saraka even gave up most of her powers to become human and ZaShu was much more powerful. So he should be able to avoid isolator the same way they did.

I wonder if he could though? He probably didn't even know where they were at that point in time, the same way he didn't realise Saraka had created the Yukika space. I don't know. As for his actions in the last episode, let's just say he was being overwhelmed by feelings and leave it at that.

I don't know what else were you expecting of a series that had a giant cube swallowing aircrafts in airports to begin with.

What I find bizarre is that they anticipated their daughter being the most godlike being in all existence (which doesn't seem guaranteed to me), literally superior to everyone else involved, and then they remotely trust that, as a teenager, she'd be so emotionally detached that she'll just go along with this crazy plan when she eventually learns about it, rather than decide to take matters into her own hands and come up with an even more successful solution than her regular human father and pseudo-godlike mother. Like, the revelation at the end should be that Shindo's future daughter surprised HIM.

That would have made for a better ending, I think, albeit needing an extra level of convoluted exposition

That has nothing to do with it. If the writer writes a story it has to act according to the inuniverse rules that were set up ans it could very well still make sense. That's what people expect from good writing.
>>
>>159237626
I think the actual best ending would be if Yukaka and zaShunina fucked on the altar near Shindo's body in a femdom style. And then fucked off together to the hyper universe. And let humans and Tsukai do whatever the fuck they want with all the "gifts".
Now that would have been a happy ending.
>>

In a 'sci-fi' show such as this what was the point at which '>lol magic' magically applies to the setting if it doesn't at the start?

On the other hand if these "exceptional happenings" happen way too often and with no logical build up in the series we feel cheated and it's basically a writer, trying to bullshit his way out of the corner via deus ex machina etc.

Because that's how negotiation works.

Remember when Shindo said he was a negotiator? And negotiating involves giving both parties what they wanted? Everyone got it!

Shindo got to die without ever talking to his family in months.

The bitch got to have that thick Shindo dick, lose her virginity, and get preggers.

Their daughter got exactly what she wanted, too: 16 years of isolation.

And the best friend? 16 years of baby-sitting! He also did not want a thank-you, so he didn't get that.

And the aerosol-person wanted to get out of the shitty lower-dimension universe. Exactly what he got. He is no more there.

That's how you negotiate. Everybody clap, please.

I'm confused why you guys fails to understand this concept.
Tsukai's avatar offspring are not inherently super powered anisotropic in general to begin with.
What made Yukika special was that her genetics was from Shindo (partly anisotropic thanks to zaShunina) and Tsukai as well as that she was raised on an anisotropic space to learn and feel more into the anisotropic.

Because Yukika being anisotropic and all that Tsukai's offspring is not a plot hole contrary to what you have been claiming.
Yukika being an anisotropic that can defeat zaShunina is pretty much debatable in terms of plot hole, as zaShunina wasn't that bright to begin with (not killing Shindou with the first strike through his heart, etc..).
I can leave the latter to be considered a plot hole, but the same cannot be said to the former.

It's a shame most viewers simply just shut off their brain for the past few episodes, labeled it trainwreck, nonsensical, plot holes etc and called it a day. The way I see it, these episodes are the ones where viewers truly have to use their heads and think about.

>baby
>reproduction
>genetics
You guys are too focused on this.
The baby isn't the point, she's just a symbolism of having reached an understanding for one another. That in essence, is the right answer that would bring both side to new heights,
as oppose to what zaShunina had been doing, forcefully making people adapt to anisotropic,
or what Tsukai had been doing, completely denying anisotropic. By combining the understanding of the universe (from humanity side) and the understanding of anisotropic, they can reach a state that goes beyond information.

Daughter aside, the scientist has managed as well, and so has Tsukai at the end. zaShunina, too, could have reach it had he spent more time understanding humanity through interaction rather than from books.
>>
>>159213921
>it didn't even bother to show a single negative consequence.
yeah it did. It was complete dependence on Kado as a power source

Aside that, the last episode was bullshit
Is Shindo alive or dead? He gave birth to a new being that's somehow beyond an anisotropic. zaShunina's reactions to Shido's surprise were so bad, to straight up throwing a tamtrum.

The ending was bullshit, it was all bullshit
Relative time my ass
>>
>>159225607
His body was destroyed, but his information probably went back to the anisotropic. Unless Shindou's daughter erased him from existence because she is just somehow, for whatever reason, beyond what the creators of the universe are because of some singularity bullshit

What a shitty ending. Can someone enlighten me on why it was a decent ending. I can't find a single good thing to say about it. I want positive opinions.
>>
>>159242622
>Can someone enlighten me on why it was a decent ending. I can't find a single good thing to say about it. I want positive opinions

This thread is basically everyone shitting on the ending while 2-3 posters trying to find something positive about it. I suggest leaving to dodge more disappointment
>>
>>159238220
Why didn't his daughter, someone beyond the anisotropic , basically yet another singularity, save her father, reanimate him. She's beyond in and out of the Universe.
Because her father being alive would disrupt the space time continuum?
Then, oh man, fuck this shit. Why introduce time travel at the very end of the last episode.
>>
>>159235566

I agree with you. I'm going to only save the first 6, possibly 7 episodes and pretend that the show was canceled suddenly.

As far as Shinawa goes, she's not gone, I'm pretty sure she figured out how to ascend on her own and that she'll come back eventually. Does that make any sense, though? Well....

>>159226432
well it started with a meta Deus ex Machina for interesting world scenario of how people would interact with tools like wams and sansa.

And it ended with ironic double meta Deus ex Machina and shat all over the first half of the show

We should have gotten this as an ending and not this melodramatic confrontation. I wanted to see zaShunina come into realization and give the actual human experience a try. I wanted Shindo to show him the right answer as a master negotiator.
Not have his daughter from the future Deus ex Machina her way to fix this mess of a show.
>>
>>159242845
Or, you know, have him in the time bubble raising his kid?
It doesn't matter if zaShunina would have noticed that, "Hey Shindo, why are you suddenly 16 years older?"
If plan was to have an unstoppable 43D weapon by that point, there was no reason not to.
>>
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Hanamori lost 16 years of his life to babysit his friend's daughter?

His life is basically over now.
>>
>>159244041
>Can create multiple universes and freely manipulate the very physical constants of existence, but can't give a brotha a quick temporal facelift
Knowing Hanamori, though, he would have probably refused it and stayed the way he is as "proof of his love" or similar.
>>
>>159244041
He's a nip, he's probably got 50 years left, but still.

Man, what astronomical balls you need to go to someone you already owe big time (Hanamori has sacrificed job advancement and vacations for Shindo) and is in love with you, and ask them to give up two decades of their life to devote to the living reminder you fucked someone else.

Did zaShunina's character get derailed when he became the antagonist or was it justified by foreshadowing him developing emotions?

Any kind of plot development that you need a fresh character to resolve is bad. Deus Ex Machina is frowned upon for a reason.

That's a great interpretation of the show, but you've got to admit that it did it in the absolute worst way possible. You could've easily had the same themes and meaning without resorting to making zaShunina a yandere bitch and having a high school girl killing him with a genki dama. The fact that you were the only one who came up with this interpretation while everyone else "shut their brains off" just shows how the series failed to convey that message and experience properly.
>>
>>159239157
No that's exactly what everyone should do.
The ending is like a sandwich with top tier bread and okay filling seasoned with a 10 years old sauce someone cummed into. It looks good, and you can't say it's bad quality, but that doesn't make it any less of a sandwich that leaves a sour aftertaste in your mouth.

zaShunina is an advocate for accelerated and unchecked growth. Hence the illuminated forest.
>>
>>159248555
It doesn't even make sense given the two opposing philosophies. One was the more naturalistic approach, which is fucked completely by being given superpowers by the anistropic. Yukika was just as much as a gift from the anistropic as everything else.

Kinda confused on Saraka's hideout cocoon timeline. After we see them bring in Hanamori and finish the fregosuit, they actually stay for another year just to fuck and wait for her to birth the baby after seeing she became pregnant? So she adjusted the time in there to speed up faster than Earth's time. But what was Hanamori doing the whole time before the birth? Fapping to their moans as they have sex? And why did Shindo and Saraka exit the cocoon while she's a baby to get a useless suit if they figured their kid would be able to handle zaShunina? They should've stayed in the cocoon to raise her since apparently it would not take much Earth time, or at least avoid zaShu until their daughter raised by poor Hanamori appeared.
>>
There was no time travel.
Shindo and Saraka fucked, and then used the nanomis-Hein to create an isolated space where time flows much faster.
There, they spent a year until Yukika was born and made the video. Then they had Hanamori raise her in that isolated space while they went to confront zaShunina. Since time passed so much faster in the isolated space, she had enough time to grow up.
Present Shindo is dead. The one in the video was recorded previously.
Why is that so hard to grasp? I got it immediately.
>>
>>159251097
If you meant to respond to me, I know that time flowed differently in her cocoon, I never said anything about time travel. I just don't get what Hanamori was doing during the sex and pregnancy process, it must've been so boring for him to sit around a year before his babysitting job. And why they felt they had to confront zaShunina in the first place when apparently they fucked just to produce a strong kid.
>>
>>159251363
Why the fuck would you think Hanamori spent a year listening to them having sex? I think you just have weird fetishes anon. Tsukai and Shindo probably only brought him into the pocket dimension after they were done giving birth to her.
>>
>>159251439
But the dimension was still simplified and they were not with the baby. If it were after they had the baby they would've already constructed the house and would not have just left her alone. I believe that, with this whole concept being goofy anyway, they brought in Hanamori before.
>>
>>159251363
Nah, it was in response to the general confusion and time-travel assumptions I kept seeing in the thread.
As for Yukika, if they wanted to surprise zaShunina, why not just bring her with them even as a baby? He was visibly excited at the implications of her existence when video-Shindo explained her, so wouldn't that be enough of a surprise? He only got angry because of the deception involved.
>>
>>159251363
They probably set the time on fast forward in the cocoon, while a day or two passed in the real world, otherwise zaShunina not noticing Shindo was missing would have made no sense. Why not hide Saraka for 16 years then?
>>
>>159251552
Hanamori got out of the pocket dimension between the moment Tsukai kidnapped him and explained everything to him and the moment Shindo begged him to accept. I don't understand why you think it's so hard to go in and out of the pocket dimension when all it takes is Tsukai farting on someone and bam they're out.
>>
Now I truly understand the meaning of Deus Ex Machina

Maybe, probably also the main reason why everyone's in love with him in universe.
Also I have a feeling zaShunina and everyone of Nozaki's recurrent super intelligent heroines have a counterpart irl, except she never gave him the time of the day so he compensates by making these heroines fall in love with his own counterpart in the books he writes only to cuck them at the last minute.
