World's End Harem (Crossing The Border of Anime)

Anime with a questionable plot that will make you think, how did it make into the mainstream when its content is purely made for adults, are not entirely new. The best example is the Redo of Healer last season. It has become controversial and even banned in some countries because of the violence and mature content. It's funny how people reacted to it like the first time when some anime in the past have similar content. Remember Yosuga no Sora, Overflow, Scums Wish and many more. These anime have crossed the boundary between Normal Anime and Adult Anime.

I like how it becomes more regular, and people accept this genre regardless of what's happening in the anime. And there is an anime that will enter with similar content. And here it is:

World's End Harem

The trailer is already released, and I'm very shocked when I first saw it. I have no idea it already existed in the manga, but because of the trailer, I have no choice but to check it. It can't be helped. I'm dead curious.

World's End Harem was written by a manga author named LINK. I don't have any information about this person, and all of his work was just World's End Harem. That's LINK's most prominent manga, and the other was just spin-offs. Everything about this anime is a mystery, but I can assure you that this is definitely not for Kids.

Plot

The world faces a global extinction as almost 99.9% of all males have perished because of the virus that only kills males. With only women remaining, they will meet a significant burden for ensuring the survival of humanity. Reito Mizuhara, who has been under cryostasis for five years while waiting for the cure of his disease, has finally woken up.

He later knew that he is one of the remaining males left alive, and he holds the key to the future of humanity. He was given a mission to choose and breed with another woman to produce offspring for the next generation. But Reito just can't do it since he made a promise to the girl he loved before he undergoes cryostasis. It is a scenario of what will happen to a world when human treats production of the baby as a mere duty not because of love. Will Reito fall into temptation before he finds the girl that he loves?

My Thoughts About This Anime

I'm not a fan of this genre, but I'm curious about how this kind of anime is viewed in the world. Given how commotion Redo of Healer made, I'm sure it will break the internet too.

About the story. I kind of like it. Unlike Redo of Healer, who uses the Isekai type of story as a base, World's End Harem uses Post Apocalyptic type genre. As to let you know, I love post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories; maybe that's why World's End Harem caught my interest. But the harem is just insane. It doesn't have violence, fortunately. But the mature scenes is definitely not for those who hate it. The story has many loopholes, especially why artificial insemination didn't work. It's just questionable, scientifically. Suppose I compare it to other anime. It's not that bad. Redo of Healer still stand at the very border of Normal Anime and Adult's Anime. So if you only want an exciting story, then maybe you can check this out.

Anime indeed is unpredictable. You don't know what will come. And sometimes they can cross the border of something forbidden. It's funny that it's still acceptable and exciting. Well, it's still news, and maybe I'll try to watch it (even though I've read the manga already). It's an excellent anime to check while waiting for the upcoming anime of Fall 2021.
