Just because this anime isnt happy and sweet..or even humorous it digs into some deep social issues and it has a profoud message of racial tolerance...i suggest everyone see it because it realy makes you think about the darker side of society (the bit we pretend doesnt exist)...anyway..the truth isnt pretty..

Getting a little tired of people misspelling it to be honest... Anyways its trying to teach a lesson so a lot of people won't like it, not many people like Brave New World and it's a classic but it also is trying to teach a lesson people don't want to hear.

Some people ignore real life events because they are real, so a fictional media is applied to reel them in so to speak. Its like a worm on a hook, the hook being the message.

-__-"??
but it was sooooo damn depressing!!


i can watch plenty of other shows about racial tolerance that aren't as violent or that dont have such a random storyline.
in short: i didnt like the anime AT ALL!!!

This is really an anime for over 18's due to the issues delt with.

Somewhere on this planet as I type this post that scene of rape will be played out for real. If you found that the anime was disturbing then how do you think the real victim feels?

There will always be boys killing animals somewhere on this planet. Boys do this kind of thing when left to their own devices.

There will always be people that you hate in an instant as they look strange or different.

Many people are guided by their superiors and do not question the morals of what is being done.

Love is a hard thing to find and even harder too keep. It may even be impossible. This fact can break a person.

While I completley agree with you, you must addmit it is happy, sweet, and extremley humorous during many scenes and episodes. Those are actually some of the best parts, but they get ignored because people are too fixated on the shocking and desturbing parts to notice.

But I really did think that the romance/comedy parts really added to the show, and were an excelent way to release some of the tension in a more positive way.

This is a violent show.... I've seen it (I still need to buy the box set) But people who do not like the truth should'nt watch it. I mean it is a great show once you start to understand it, but the first 10 min. will probably make you want to bash yourself over the head with a hammer if you don't like a naked woman tearing people apart then peeing on the floor after.

Definatly an older teen thing. (But I'm 16 and it doesnt affect me...)

I think that the three little kids deserved to be killed, for killing the dog in front of lucy like that, especially that so called back stabbing friend. The show was pretty violent at first but kinda mellowed out. It surprising how much blood the human body can hold in till the head is taken off. I think Nyuu was the best:rheart: I give the show 3 stars.

Oh I agree about the kids. I was extremley pleased that they were killed. I just wish I had vectors so I could rip those little bastards apart myself.
