Noein: Episode 20-21

A world devoid of pain, a single consciousness without flesh. Everyone is connected. It is harmony. It is perfection. An unmarred world is Noein’s ultimate wish.

Haruka, Yuu, and Karasu find themselves trapped in Shangri-La. While they escape Noein, Karasu exposits the future Haruka’s sacrifice for La’cryma. A moment later, Haruka seems to follow the same fate.

In theory, a perfect world is rooted in goodness and purity. However, Shangri-La’s existence does not play by these rules. Noein sets the law of the land; he plays Pygmalion with countless lives. Noein’s perfect world is nothing more than a shell of selfishness, arrogance, and misguided justice.

Random thought. Can someone explain to me why I have neglected Noein for all these months? I’m such a dope.

P.S. Have I mentioned how much I love Atori?

Beware of Spoilers. You have been warned.

These episodes, and the three subsequent installments, were just so totally brilliance; greater sci-fi has not been made since Kurau.

I truly disliked Atori at the show’s beginning, and thought that he would be a mere minor villain, but after he returned sans memory he became my favourite cast member with ease, although I am not sure if I prefer his amnesiac mode or his restrained-pyscho persona unleashed in these latter episodes.

Noein = Awesomeness.

Atori’s indeed a great character. Especially his feelings for Miho made a huge impact. I’m wondering how he would’ve wound up if she wasn’t there with him. :)

I love Atori’s protectiveness for Miho. SInce Sarah, a character from his past whom he vowed to protect — exists in his past, there is continuity in his arc. Atori can sell the shift in his character without audiences feeling robbed.

Well, I’m off to watch ep22 and 23. I hope they won’t disappoint.
