    So death feedback was genetic after all? AND there's something called attack inhibition? They did a good job in making me forget that (or even bringing attack inhibition up at all).

    Saki's plan was much better and practical than I had initially thought too.

    Best show this season. I really wished Psycho-pass was more like this.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    the ending is bittersweet, hope we get a 2nd season or at least an ova, anyone know how it did with ratings in japan and dvd sales ?

    It was a novel, an actual novel, not a light novel. Two volumes (it is hard to tell on Amazon.co.jp since I can't read Japanese). I believe it is completed, despite what wikipedia says. About 1000 pages in total, and the anime covered it.

    Though there is a manga spinoff version, it isn't the same plot, it is an ecchi and yuri version. It's like how the Mai-Hime/Mai-Otome mangas are completely different from their respective anime series, but with similar premise and characters. The art isn't bad, I'll give it that. It's like a cross between Yabuki Kentaro (To Love Ru) for the humans and Oku Hiroya (Gantz) for the queerrats and monsters.

    Does Wiki says the manga has 2 volumes and is ongoing. The novel is just one book, right?

    She's cuter, that's for sure. I'd still prefer the gaunt version of the anime though. It conveys the "future, godly human" plus horror feel a lot better. The manga's more comical and wouldn't have worked with that dark theme music the way the anime did.

    Rushed, but very satisfying ending considering the theme of the overall series; jesus, squealers fate wasn't a pretty one.

    And I loved Saki's animation and how she...developed throughout the time-skips.
    Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, who believes in you.

    Two volumes in Japan, about 500 pages each. The companies stating interest in translating into English say it is a total of 1000 pages, and they would produce just one unified novel. That said, the translation seems unlikely, due to finances and low interest.
