Jyu-oh-sei: An anime. Based on a manga series drawn by Itsumi Natsuki under the same name. Produced by Bones. An under the radar anime that not enough people watch despite its absolute goodness.

I am writing this not just to advertise for this anime, that is still part of my intent obviously, but also because I am dying to give reply to a few posts on the Jyu-oh-sei forum at Anime Suki. I know the whole story already because I read the manga but I never gave those people definate replies because this is one of the few series I don't want to spoil other people for. So, take that as a warning. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read what I am about to say....













I think that's enough warning don't you think?



Here's a post:
I think something will happen between Karin and Thor. If a guy goes out in a snowstorm or blizzard just to save you, most of the time, you'd fall for that guy, especially if he's young, handsome, has silver hair, kind, the Top of his ring, and benevolent. Chances are, him banging her is very, very possible.

Here's my inner response:
In my opinion you are also somewhat in denial considering all those foreshadowing in the opening... well at least the fall in love part. Lust =/= Love. Furthermore, remember Karin loves Zagi (who also happened to be young, handsome, has silver hair, top of his ring, and kind in his own odd way) best.

Here's a post concerning episode 7:
For all that Thor in this ep says that he wants to always be with Tiz, then why won't he have a child with her when the next...whatever you call it comes around?

Here's my answer:
In episode 7 Thor still thinks of Tiz as family not a woman in her own rights.

Here's a good question:
I have a quick question about the science behind the aging process on Thor's colony. If it is a simulated Earth then why is their age affected so signifacantly, especially since they have the same technological advances, supposedly, against diseases and what not?

Here's the answer:
Earth died a long time ago. Thus, people of the Earth, built to live on Earth and not colonies are also dying. People on the Beast Planet are not dying because their DNA have mutated and evolved to suit the planet's environment because in that world it is survival of the fittest, and thus only genes suited for life on the planet gets passed on to the next generation. Technically they are not humans, but a new species similar to humans. People on the colonies never evolved because they depended way too much on science.

Someone commented:
...Really, she (Tiz) doesn't get the freaking hint that Thor is Not. Interested. In. Having. Babies!!

Here's the answer:
In Tiz's world, a world where success = survival, and later passing down of genes/reproduction, males would only refuse to have babies with you if they hates you. Females can choose who to mate with though. So that's why Tiz is so confused. On one hand Thor keeps saying he loves her, and then on the other hand he refuses to sleep with her. Thor is technically an alien on this planet, remember, his logic differs from the people born and raised on Jyu-oh-sei. It's as much Tiz does not understand Thor as Thor does not understand Tiz.

A good comment by someone that people should keep in mind:
But there are a unique alien society, an interesting new way of looking at gender, strong female (and ex-female) characters, and a lot of angst. In addition to the unusual music and unique character design. And there's one way in which it resembles Noein: the sakuga is really inconsistent from week to week, but very artistic.

Comment:
Yes, it reminds me Noein for some reasons too. I think it's the fact both are science fiction shoujo series.
