Product Description

For years, declining birth rates have forced what's left of the human race to cede more and more territory to other beings who have appeared to take advantage of the emptying ecological niche. Now, only a handful of humans remain among the remnants of civilization and Earth is dominated by faeries - tiny, ten-inch tall creatures of surprising intelligence. But humanity's importance isn't over quite yet, as young Watashi learns as she makes the decision to return to her hometown and assume her grandfather's position as an arbitrator between the races. Unfortunately, the job isn't going to be anywhere near as simple as she expected, and it's going to take wisdom far beyond her years to achieve her most important mission. Because it's not about how often you fall and fail, it's about how often you get back up and try again, and the human race still has a lot left to accomplish in HUMANITY HAS DECLINED.

A great show.

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Just discovered this anime and it's brilliant. In the future, civilization has collapsed and humanity is living in small pockets along with the "fairies", little creatures who love sugar and are becoming earths dominate species. They're childlike but with superhuman intellect and can basically do anything.

The main character is a girl generally referred to as either "I" or "Ms. Sweets". She's the mediator between humankind and the fairies. She is one of the few humans left capable of creating sweets, which causes the fairies to naturally flock to her. Other characters are "Grandfather" and "Assistant".

On the surface the show looks like a fairy tale storybook anime but is a cover for dark, nihilistic and absurdist humor in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Only 12 episodes long and well worth your time.

Good, clean, "twisted" fun

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2021

I liked it. A different kind of "humanity is dead" show. No spoilers will be given. The show centers on one person and her dealings with humanity's "replacements". I thought it was funny, with surprising twists showing up very often. No profanity and no explicit violence. Kids might not understand all the references, but will still enjoy this series.

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2013

Humanity is in decline. Currently the most prosperous species are "Fairies", 10 cm tall creatures with high intelligence and a great love for sweets. The Mediator's job is to act as an arbitrator between the humans and the fairies. Which basically means that she is often swept up in their insane schemes. With the power of the fairies, entire cities are built, then destroyed, over the course of a few days. Mysterious food factories appear on the edge of town. Robotic bread commits suicide. Humans become characters in manga. Time loops. Sweets. Insanity. And dark humor.

I heard good things about this series, so I had some hopes for it. I found the first 2 episodes to be rather interesting, but I couldn't tell if I liked the series or not. It took me a few more episodes to finally grasp the humor and come to love the show. The first arc is still my least favorite, but I enjoyed it better the second time around. Yes, I liked this series so much by the end, that I re-watched it with my sister just days after finishing it the first time. (And then again a third time some months later).

The humor is both dark and dry, with the Mediator running a witty narrative in her head. The fairies are both adorable and terrifying. I loved them.

Finally, I recommend starting the series with episode 10 and then going back to the beginning. 10 is a stand alone episode that is very funny and a great intro to the series. It is also first chronologically (the series runs mostly backwards in time, though that doesn't really matter).

I saw this series streaming on Crunchyroll, but I intend to buy the DVDs, just as soon as I confirm that I haven't received them as a Christmas present :)

Bonus Feature Note: One on of the discs (I can't remember which, but not the first one), has a set of shorts (I think it was call Survival of the Fittest), that combined equal about one extra episode (and they share the same storyline, so it feels like an episode that was just broken up).

Okay, Confusing

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

I have watched the anime. It was funny but the story of it was all over the place and a bit confusing. The more it got into it the more the episodes seem to get off the point in ways. I mean like the characters are built up some what and then all of a sudden the change. Like apparently the assistant can actually talk in one episode... then he dispappers after a while. Some of the episodes are not very clear on what is going on. the story line was all over the place. I mean what exactly are faries and where did they come from whats their story. I mean you know they have to have fun in order to multiply. That they have a weird way of thinking.

Then you have characters that just pop in and out of the show without a real reason who they are except for these robots. Just its funny and all but very confusing for some people

Humanity Has Declined

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2013

In ways, this show defies description, and that's probably deliberate. It doesn't fit into any neat genre niche. I don't think it's possible to discuss this show without spoilers, so I'll try to keep them to a minimum, so just be careful...

A few random adjectives come to mind: surreal, satirical and absurd. The art work blatantly contrasts with the premise. The art showing a colorful world populated by laughing fairies, befriended by a cute girl wearing clothing reminiscent of Bavarian milkmaids. Oh and all this in a post-apocalyptic world, after society has collapsed and humanity is on the wane.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. When you see these fairies talking about starving to death, while wearing their perpetual grins, the humor should start to become apparent. It's a dark and biting humor, but does not resort to any sort of gory imagery. Well, unless you count plucked and skinned chickens who throw themselves over a cliff, while set to the tune of "Ave Maria", as gory...

There's lots of other things I could say, but I'll just leave it there. If you like things like Eraserhead (not the dark and grim and sometimes disgusting visuals, but rather the entire mind-twist), you'd probably like this.

I had high hopes after the first episode. It had a true moment of greatness, a scene that left me howling with laughter that left me wanting more. The series became less and less funny, and by the time I got to the last episode I was glad to be done with it.

国コードチェック有りなので再生環境に注意

Reviewed in Japan on February 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

PS3なら問題無く再生出来るって事でしたが、再生不可（国が違う……らしい表示が出て、再生出来ない）状況で、しばし悩んでいました。
BD再生環境は、PS3しか所有しておらず、過去に北米版のSpice and Wolfがなんの問題も無く再生出来たので、何が違うのかと大分調べました。
原因は、リージョンコードに加えての国コードチェックに有りました。
設定＞セキュリティー設定＞BD/DVD - 視聴年齢制限使用地域
これが、アメリカ（デフォルト）か、Canada以外になっていると、ハネられてしまうようです。
視聴制限は切にしてあり、何も考えずに地域をJapanに切り替えてしまっていた様でした。
PCや、BD再生専用機でも、リージョンコード（リージョンコード自体は、日本も米国と同じAですが）だけで無く、国コードの設定も切り替えられる物で無いと再生出来無いので、再生環境に注意です。

英語字幕なし＆日本語音声で見られるのでとても見やすいです。
しかし、国コードがカナダかアメリカに変更できるプレーヤーでしか視聴できません。
北米版で初めてコレに当たり、プレーヤーの設定を変更することになりました。
ストーリーは普通に１話から見ていくと理解に苦しみますが、
何回か繰り返してみると妖精さんのカワイさと内容がわかってきます。

わぁく

殆ど日本人向け？

Reviewed in Japan on December 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

およそ30年前、米国のアニメマニアはSub-Dubと呼ばれる字幕付きVHSで日本のアニメを観ていましたが、それに次ぐシンプルさです。字幕は消せますが、英語版音声は無し、OP/EDもキャスト表示など日本語のまま。1話毎に別途英語版のスタッフロールが入っているくらいです。お陰で？米国のオンラインショップではリリース予告だけで取り扱いを中止した所もあり、自分はリリース中止になったものと勘違いしてました。これ、逆にアメリカ人には視聴が厳しいでしょうね。
日本版BD画質との比較はしていませんが、もともとこの作品、ハイトーンのパステルカラーに映像が偏っているのでダイナミックレンジが狭く、背景のグラデーション部分などに色の境界が目立ちます。いわゆるマッハバンド。その部分だけ1つ星を引いていますが、これはこの商品のせいでは無いかも。
まとまって観た事が無かったので、価格もコンパクトなパッケージングも丁度良く、自分的には満足しています。

本編に加えてノンクレジットOP、EDさらに「じゃくにくきょうしょく」まで入っているので大変満足おすすめです。
