And up we go again on the Shin Sekai Yori rollercoaster. Compared to the previous episode, this one was epic. I absolutely loved the suspense involved with the four slowly remembering things about Shun. It even got to the point where I was hoping for some big moment where they defy the odds by remembering everything that they were meant to forget. Alas, it's unfortunate that Mamoru ended up bringing their momentum to a halt. On one hand, I don't really blame him since sometimes the truth is better off not knowing as the responsibilities and/or consequences that come along with it aren't worth shouldering. However, as a viewer, I really would've liked to group to have went against the Ethics Committee by continuing to pursue the reason behind their fuzzy memories, even if it meant that they would face trials and difficulties. Luckily, the turn of events at the end might just be what I'm looking for.
Given that the head of the Ethics Committee is actually Satoru's grandmother, it makes the trio's interactions with her all the more interesting. I'm really frustrated that the episode ended right as Saki was about the meet her, and it'll probably be tough to wait a week to find out what happens next. The preview doesn't show much except for a few horror-like scenes and the possibility that Satoru's grandmother was behind everything that's happened ever since the summer camp. The conversation between her and Saki, as well as Satoru and Maria, should definitely be interesting.
