https://anilist.co/anime/10357/HumanityHasDeclined/ Note For the simplicity Im going to refer this Anime as Jinrui. Im writing this review simply because this seems like a niche Anime on AL. There isnt a single review or discussion thread for this and even one of the three people I know who watched this ended up dropping it while the other two gave a 9/10. But now after completing this just few minutes ago Ill say this This is a very unique Anime but Im NOT recommending this to everyone. Postapocalyptic Fairy Tale https://i.ur.com/PUulsrh.jpg Jinrui takes place at a time where humanity is at the brink of its existence due to decline in birth rates. But a new chibi life form known as Fairies who have very high intelligence and a sweet tooth for sweets happy things are starting to take over the mass population of the Earth. Our nameless protagonist who refers herself as Watashi means I or Me is a mediator who helps to maintain a balance between declining Humans and overgrowing Fairies. That didnt really sounded like a postapocalyptic setting now does it? I mean just look at this vibrant relaxing artstyle and tell me they look like theyre in loss of hope and existential dread https://i.ur.com/lqkudhX.jpeg Ok. Maybe the last image does gives away Humans are intelligent Dominoes Because we tend to follow each other https://i.ur.com/Q1OdalH.jpeg Jinrui is just Watashi throwing quotable satires on everything she interacts in this world like Politicians Business BL fans Manga and some other pop culture media storytelling cliches. And the protagonists cynicism and dry sarcasm makes it all funny but can be a miss sometimes or a lot of times depending on your type of humor. But my favourite satire is from episode 2 which is a satire or callout to subwatchers. The scene goes like this Miss Protagonistsan In this cast of eccentric characters no one really has a name or atleast wont call each other with names which is ironic when you find out theres an entire episode dedicated for naming fairies. The protagonist refers herself as Watashi the grandfather is called Grandfather assistant is called Assistant and pretty much everyone is just like that except one person. Protagonists friend Y and even that doesnt sound like real name more like a code name. The fairies are pretty cute which goes against their destructive personalities. They all carry these dark negative thoughts that hit home a bit but theyre mostly left like that. It goes more in depth into its human characters mainly the protagonists in its last couple of episodes that follows her life in her school days. And now comes one thing thats a bit problematic Not Uncertain but very Random The Anime is in achronological order i.e. it shows events out of order. The problem is that even though its basically a satire it doesnt feel coherent or ordered. Youre thrown into events without a clear introduction or explanation with only dry humor that doesnt sit right with its cutesy art style as only entertainment which makes it feels like its confusing. If youre patient enough for 4 or so episodes you might get the hang of it but it can feel really boring considering the only entertaining point here is satire dry humor and the achronological order makes it unnecessarily confusing. Jinrui has a total of 7 arcs that are individual to each other. You dont really have to watch one arc inorder to know what happens in the other arc. Its just there only to form a jumbled timeline. It goes like this The Release Order the Creators intended order 1. The Fairies Secret Factory Episode 1 2 2. The Fairies Subculture Episode 3 4 3. The Fairies Homecoming Episode 5 6 4. The Fairies Time Management Episode 7 8 5. The Fairies Survival Skills Episode 9 6. The Fairies Earth Episode 10 7. The Fairies Secret Tea Party Episode 11 12 The Chronological Order the Timelapse Order 1. The Fairies Secret Tea Party Episode 11 12 2. The Fairies Earth Episode 10 3. The Fairies Time Management Episode 7 8 4. The Fairies Survival Skills Episode 9 5. The Fairies Homecoming Episode 5 6 6. The Fairies Secret Factory Episode 1 2 7. The Fairies Subculture Episode 3 4 Im a Creators order on first watch Chronological Order on a rewatch kinda person. Even though the intended order has its problem its better to watch it that way because thats what the creators wanted view it as but I think the intended watch order might not make an entirely enjoyable watch it didnt for me atleast. I found a couple of episodes boring but it was a good watch overall. Conclusion If dry humor and satire is your type of comedy If you like weird but not completely explained Anime If youre OK with cute but slightly dark stuff This is for you. Now excuse me.
