| Loved Watashi confronting Y about her "hobby" ... but the things she was shown! O_O Keeping a record of EVERYONE doing something bad against you? COLLECTING HAIR?! D; Oh god ... not to mention Curly was SO CREEPY with her doll and then STABBING it! D: Oh dear lord ... Their teaming up was pretty epic though ... eventually graduating and then Watashi remembers the fairy! :O It's not there when she goes to check though ... but they just show up when she needs to fix the robot?! O_O Uh ... I feel like I missed something D: One was in the robot though ... I didn't expect that :O Plus she has a tea party in her head ...? It was a nice ending, sure, but kind of weird at the same time XD I mean, it didn't feel like a real "end" ... then again, I guess not going in chronological order does that :P Overall, I really loved this show. It was great and quirky - certainly something new! The animation and music were wonderful. It gave me loads of laughs and things to think about - the mini arcs were really great, though there wasn't a real linear plotline or anything. I loved all the characters too. I've heard rumours of a second season ...? Well, in any case, I'll look forward to it and give this a 9/10 |
| I'd say 7/10 Everything episode 8 and past I really enjoyed. Before that it was a mixture of mehhh, uninteresting, too random, pointless, and alright. Maybe it's because I didn't try to find the deeper meaning, but if the universe itself is not fleshed out or uninteresting I don't care enough to try. |
 |
| Lmao so everyone in that society were crazies. Didn't expect Curly to be a yandere and those senpais to be creepers and slobs haha. It was still pretty nice to watch them all end on good terms though after Watashi and Y teamed up. And they actually got me feeling pretty sad as each one of them graduated and separated at the end. Not to mention that reunion between Watashi and that fairy, which was basically her first friend. Aww that scene was just so nice to watch. This was a great anime and had an even greater mc in Watashi <3. |
 |
| Although I seriously love this arc, it doesn't fit with being an end arc to the show which is chronologically disordered. I was hopin that they would add a 13th episode which would be the final new one. |

| I think they should have added this arc earlier in the series, but I'm no expert and I'm sure it was added at the very end for a reason. Either way, I really liked it. It was interesting to see how she ended up befriend Y. Time to watch the specials! |
  |
| I just finished rewatching the show and oh boy, what a treat. it was as fun as the first time. I'm so glad to put this on my top 5 anime. totally worth it. 9/10 |
| Those fairies. Those fuckin' fairies man. SO FREAKING ADORABLE. Like I don't think I've giggled and laughed so much at an anime before, this anime is just... so cute... I'm really gonna miss the fairies. 9/10 because it made me feeling really emotional towards the end. Normally I would give a 8/10 but the OP is just catchy and amazing AND the ED is beautiful also. Both the soundtracks are great and I always listened to them. NINGEN-SAN |
 |
| I loved the scene where the fairy she saved jumped out of the robot. |
 |
| 7.5/10 |
 |
| I watched it for the third time as i was translating the anime to my own language and i must say ... even in third viewing it was wonderful. now i am sure of having it in my top 5 anime and i think it will be there for a very long time. 9/10 |
| This episode was GREAT I'm gonna miss this series. The least worst out of the bunch was the two girls in the room, they're freakin hilarious. look like the all the members of the Wild Roses are actually pretty wild haha Curly is a yandere goodbye, Humanity Has Declined |
| Great episode, the series was really weird and I feel like I will miss its weirdness 7.5/10 |
| The ending was so sweet! I will miss this!! |
 |
| Loved the ending. I'll definitely miss everyone. 8.5/10 |
| Why did the robot change colour? anyway good show 8/10 |
| Shit the curly girl was a yandere! But then again, pretty nice series. 8/10 for me. |

| For me Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita was a disappointment and proved that Romeo Tanaka is overrated. The title suggests that Humanity has declined, but we don't get any explanation on how, when and in what fields Humanity has actually declined. What we got are scarce references of social criticism that don't lead to anything, not character development nor plot progression. Even if Romeo Tanaka wanted to address pathologies related to human nature, he dindn't explain the meaning of that "decline" that has such a relevant role, given its insertion in the title. Even if he wanted to raise doubts about certain fields of human society, he didn't add anything to the criticism other than naming a possible problem. It's interesting to point out the possible deficiencies of the manga industry, but the Author didn't give any explanation on how exactly we can call those irrational behaviours deficiencies inherently related to human nature, rather than human stupidity, which is circumscribed to a limited number of individuals. Having said that, maybe a more appropriate title would have been "Some Humans are brainless", which isn't anything new by the way. Actually, cosindering what I just said, and considering that brainless people plagued human history since its birth, I can safely say that Humanity has progressed, despite those irrational and asenine humans. Regarding the show there are other flaws that I can't help but notice. The wordbuilding is weak and incoherent to some extent (read what I wrote earlier). The fairies have unexplained and endless powers, which can be considered as the epitome of the lazy writing of Romeo Tanaka, as well as a cheap deus ex machina. The characters hardly develop. This is especially true for the protagonist. A proof? Consider the order of the arcs of the show, that doesn't have any chronological order nor any reason behind it (another flaw, if you want). You can't order these arcs based only on the main character, because she doesn't develop, thus making her extremely plain. Moreover, the character design doesn't have any particular reason and it isn't used to develop the characters or the plot. Just thinking about how much Romeo Tanaka could have done with only the character design to improve his social criticism might give you an idea of what I'm trying to convey. All things considered, the impression I got from watching this show is that, despite touching some of the most deep aspects of human nature and society, the Author couldn't come up with a likewise deep work. |

That said I think there were all pretty great in this anime, so it sounds like you're describing your perfect anime instead of seeing the real strengths and weaknesses of the show. And talking about lazy writing, learn to edit your post when you copy them from somewhere. Your newlines are anything but easy on the eye. |

And talking about lazy writing, learn to edit your post when you copy them from somewhere. I just wrote a wall of text about what I consider the strenghts and weaknesses of the show, if you don't agree with me that's another problem. Any weakness is considered in relation to something better, otherwise they wouldn't be called weaknesses in the first place. And talking about lazy writing, you can call my bad copy a lazy copy more than lazy writing. Also, countering my arguments with something better than "I don't agree with you" would be much appreciated, or maybe you consider relatively unimportant your lazy writing too? |

| I don't know what to feel about this anime. Oh well, 8/10. :) |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Asking a comedic-parodic anime to be overwritten in the way you describe is like asking Logh to have more ecchi. It doesn't make sense. While it's interesting to point out intrinsec flaws compared to similar works, pointing extrinsec flaws makes it seem like you missed the point of the show, especially when you do it in an inconsiderate way regarding your editing, in a discussion thread, which I must remind you isn't your blog. |

Your references to Logh and ecchi are completely out of place. Asking coherence and more developed characters/plot isn't trivial nor "relatively unimportant" as you say. I didn't ask for a mixture of unrelated genres or objectives, if you read my first few lines you should be able to understand that. I don't know how you can consider weak worldbuilding, lack of character development, incoherent order of episodes and pointless plot "extrinsic flaws", really. And what about the unexplained powers of the fairies? These are all intrinsic flaws, unfortunately. The purpose of the show? I think I made myself clear enough when I pointed out the social criticism of the show. Read again my wall of text. My newlines may not be easy on the eye (yours, better), but they have a clear purpose, dividing my wall of text in three parts: Introduction, Exposition and Conclusion. The next time I'll try drawing a flower, maybe you'll find it to your liking. And talking about lazy writing, in my preview my message appeared without problems: http://i39.tinypic.com/28jglug.jpg |

Would this short show be better with lots of explanations? Imo, no. And in a way lacking explanations reduplicates the POV of Watashi in the viewer, ascertaining both as humans facing the incomprehensible beings that are the fairies (and coincidence, watashi means I). Now the worldbuilding. In the same way, it doesn't have to be wordy. The show displays a factory, the village, Watashi's school, a large ruin with blobs and robots, each with their own rules and details. Do I think the world is efficiently and concretely build? Yes. I think the reason for our different interpretations lies in our too different ranges of expectations. The show doesn't have only one purpose of social critique. Episodic plots aren't pointless, assuming there is no meaning in the order of the episodes is borderline arrogant, and there is micro-character development (at school, during the assitant arc, on the island). Asking for drama-type character development in a comedic anime (I invite you to watch Excel Saga, or Gintama for example) is irrealistic at best, since the kind of comedy here is mostly of the straight man (tsukkomi) type, meaning the mindset of the character is more or less fixed. As for your editing, this is what I see, and you can change it afterwards whatever the preview shows: http://puu.sh/5FCe4.png |

EratiK said: I'm afraid we don't speak the same language. Something unexplained isn't a flaw per se, for me it's left behind so the show can focus on other things. Something unexplained is a flaw, and a vital one, when is necessary to understand what is going on. I don’t care if the Author doesn’t say when the characters go to the bathroom, it’s not necessary for the plot to make sense. But when you talk about humanity and create a new race, if you don’t tell me who these fairies are, when they appeared, from where, why they went where they went, what are their powers, I’m sorry, but I can’t help but point out that there are important plot holes in the show. If you think that plot holes aren’t important, good for you, for me they are extremely important, especially considering that the title itself concerns Humanity. How can you consider unimportant essential information about New Humanity? EratiK said: Would this short show be better with lots of explanations? Imo, no I'm not asking for lots of explanations, I'm asking for a limited, but meaningful, number of answers, immediately related to the same theme that animates the show. EratiK said: And in a way lacking explanations reduplicates the POV of Watashi in the viewer, ascertaining both as humans facing the incomprehensible beings that are the fairies (and coincidence, watashi means I). As you can see I didn’t raise any criticism about the lack of a name for the main character, exactly because I can think of some reasons for that, even though these reasons are not explicated. EratiK said: Now the worldbuilding. In the same way, it doesn't have to be wordy.

Regarding the wordbuilding, I can't help but think it's weak. One line of text can't be considered an efficiently built backdrop. EratiK said: assuming there is no meaning in the order of the episodes is borderline arrogant Maybe providing a reason would be a better argument than just saying I’m borderline arrogant.

| I don't know, technically those aren't plot holes, they're ellipses. And there are several currents of scifi: not only there is overwritten and overexplained hard scifi, there is also a a current coming from the utopian writings in philosophy, where are given only a few premisses to explore hypothetical developments. But whatever. Even with the code obviously bugging for some reason (my guess is invisible markers), it's not hard to do this: |

But whatever. I’m not so sure those can be considered ellipses. For an ellipsis to take place the necessary and sufficient elements to infer its consequences or premises must exist, circumstance that doesn’t occur in this case. And those necessary answers, that Romeo Tanaka neglected, for whatever reason, aren’t superfluous, because, as I stated earlier, everything connected to the main theme of the show, and to the title itself, should be considered fundamental for a clear understanding. |

The only necessary and sufficient element for the ellipsis to work is the title, which is self-explanatory. The main theme of the show is social criticism and satire, there is no way around it. The Author tries to convey his criticism through vicissitudes that always have as participants the fairies, thus making them, and everything related to them, extremely important for a clear understanding. The risk is that, without explaining almost anything about these fairies, their powers may sound like deus ex machina, therefore I reprehended the laziness of the writing. |
| That was a very strange anime lol. I did however enjoy the hell out of it. Each episode gave me so many mixed feelings from melancholy to joy, had me laughing and creeped out, confused yet felt like I knew what was going on. Splendid little show that I will miss. Is there going to be another season? I wouldn't mind it if there was. 8/10 That could change, I'm leaning towards a 9/10 but for now I'll stick with my 8. |
 |
| Lol, that was strange, but It's good I like such weird a things, it's long time since I gave last 8/10. |
 |
| I thought this was just another light-hearted SoL series set in a fantasy world. I didn't expect it to be so hilarious and dark at the same time. Simply brilliant. 9/10. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Seriously, that green fairy made my eyes all teary. And in the end, it smiles with closed eyes!! And a yandere girl in this anime? didn't expect that O_o It was brilliant. 9/10 for me. If I was going to be all critical it would be less, but I can't xD |
| 5/5 A mere exercise of intellect was this anime, maybe a little mistreated by those who like watching anime and reading manga hobby and whatever. The fact remains that while not capendoci much, I loved it! To be precise, I have to see him well to understand more. Never the less I can say that Watashi is quite a character. Very original settings and characters. I will miss the fairies! ^ _ ^ Final rating passing for now, 6/10 to 8/10! |
 |
| Pretty funny last episode. Seeing the other sides of those tea party members was creepy as hell. Especially Curly lol.Kind of a heart warming finale with the first fairy Watashi ever met coming back from the robot. This anime was strange as hell and it is definitely an interesting pick. Didn't understand about half of what was going on during the ride but it was awesome. Reminded me of the first time I watched Bakemonogatari. 9/10 ep 7/10 series. |
| I really enjoyed this anime it really hit me in a unique way, even had to add Watashi high among my fav characters. |
| Jaywalker. |
| And so it ends and humanity is still in decline. Kinda funny how I teared up at the ending even though this show was never meant to be dramatic. That fairy popping out and saying "friend" was too much for my frail heart to handle. He was there the whole time with her even though she never noticed. I feel like that fairy's smile was genuine. It's great that she met again the first fairy she met. |
 |
| I'm definitely way too emotional because I started crying at the end scene with the robot and the tea party. |
| --- theories incoming. major spoilers ahead. --- Ever watched the 3 minute specials? episode 6 was mind breaking. It turns out that the fairies there were the --same-- fairies that Sweets-chan kidnapped on her first job. compare their appearances for proof yourselves. The kidnap happened at the regular episode 10. There were major reveals in the specials. like... The fairies way of talking. Normally they speak of 1-2 word conversations, but in the specials they were conversing normally. Furthermore, special EP 2 (which turned Sweets into something smaller, as if a fairy herself) was practically the same when she conversed with gramps. This heavily implies that the fairies were once also humans. The greatest difference is 1. they are, well, idiots and forgetful 2. very powerful 3. needs motivation 4. needs fun 5. fond of sweets 6. fond of Sweets-chan. Watch the OP again, more specifically when the title shows up. there are 3 important frames I'd like to detail. One is where the background shows high rise buildings, followed by the fairies covering the screen, and finally replacing it with wonderland-like scenery. I wanted to theorize that fairies and humans went war, but that doesn't connect with frame 3 since it became a wonderland and not a wasteland. Also the magical spoon, where the number was reduced from 322 to 280. I'm guessing that was her INT points and the remaining number was eaten by, well, somebody else. This means Sweets' INT was reduced by 42, and whoever ate her INT will, hmm, I dunno. The hamster (end of special EP 6) definitely ate at least one INT of hers. --end of theories-- More reasons to wait for season 2. Like the living hair, the magical spoon (EP6 specials), why the UN --needed-- mediators, but more importantly I just wanna see more of Sweets-chan. |

| Couldn't help but laugh when the girl went psycho on the Watashi doll lol idk why but it was hilarious |

| What a brilliant and clever series. It's got one of the best delivery of humor; nothing excessive or cheesy, just the right dose of satire at the perfect time. The characters and setting were both interesting and fleshed out fairly well. Storywise, it was confusing halfway through before realizing the writing was done in an out of order fashion. Overall, this series is fantastic and deserves more attention. |
| The series tries too hard to be different. The reserve chronological order just made it seem like there was a lack of continuity, some characters were introduced never to be seen again, and even for a comedy anime the show felt too random half of the time. Was hoping to find out a bit about what happened to mankind and where the fairies came from but it was never touched upon. Overall a pretty disappointing series for me. |
