Shin Sekai Yori

[Ryllharu]

I didn't get the commentary during the fight. One side is shooting the other with firearms, and they're surprised that the ones being shot at have bamboo shields? wtf.

The ones using the guns also had the thick bamboo shields. The comment was meant to point out that the Robber Fly Alliance is using ancient human warfare technology, largely mirroring human history detail for detail. The implication is clear, Squealer/Yakomaru has captured a False Minoshiro.

Haven´t watched the new ep yet, but random question that came popping in my head:

What is "shin sekai yori" translated into english? "Shin Sekai" means "new world", but how do you translate the "yori" here? Afaik "yori" is used for making comparisons, like "otoko wa onna yori tsuyoi" ("men are stronger than women"). But I cannot make out how to translate this title. Anyone?

I shouldn't even respond to this, but try reading the first post in the thread.
