Overall Rating 7.0 out of 10 - Somewhat deep literary fiction type of show with important flaws.
I still recommend watching for people who understand literary fiction.

Cantus is wasted on these idiots - Me
Communism of USSR, the Animation - Also me
In Infinite Ryvius you can see how paragon of virtue who wished to protect everyone, Ikumi, ended up creating a much worse, inhuman and oppressive society compared to selfish, unscrupulous, outlaw who just took power because he could, Airs Blue. I guess I will write a separate article about it later.
However, if Ryvius allows you to compare the two, then this show is about society created by people like Ikumi. Also, unlike Ryvius, where that situation was created in ad-hoc manner, here these idiots deliberately created these conditions.
Kamisu 66 is virtuous on the surface, but cruel and inhuman if you dig a little deeper. They are so afraid of so-called fiends and karma demons; they use various monsters to exterminate everyone whom they perceive remotely dangerous. People just disappear and everyone's memory is tampered with so that they forget they even existed. That is just like USSR in 30s.
Ironically enough this security drive produced a society paralyzed by fear, suspicion and lies. People in this society live in fear of their relatives and they themselves disappearing. Everyone suspects that spies are everywhere.
Just like USSR Kamisu 66 is a tyranny of Ethics Commitee and Board of Education. Even titles sound much like governing bodies of USSR: Political Bureau is like a board; Secretariat is like a committee.
In case of Saki, most of her friends have disappeared over the course of the show. I suspect that is because leader of Ethics Committee, Tomiko, loved Saki and was jealous of Shun and Maria, whom Saki liked. Envy of the powerful assholes ruined lives of poor children.
In general, this society is basically gerontocracy. Ruled by the old, again like USSR, who prune children so that they would not be danger to those in power and do not hesitate to kill those whom they do not like. In a system like this, only sheepish idiots could survive and live into adulthood. Indeed, the whole society is sheepish and illiberal. They all hold great reverence for various dignitaries in important positions, most likely conditioned by fear.
Their ideology is communist too. They claim to wish to create a "society of love", similar to bonobo, a species of apes. However, that would be a de-evolution as humans are more advanced than apes.
In reality it is a society of hate, where they demonize and dehumanize those whom, they fear as fiends and karma demons. Much like communism and radical left calls everyone they do not like Nazi.
Finally, despite having cantus, a power to manipulate matter and create things out of thin air, they somehow managed to go back in technological development. Ethics committee banned various technologies, classified a lot of knowledge and information. The end result was a backward society that lived in wooden houses, work fields, have temples and monks and such.
They had powers of near literal gods, instead they became senile primitivist idiots, who hate technology. The anti-technological primitivism is staggering.
A smart enough person with these powers could have created spaceships and huge towers of glass, steel and concrete. As well as an army of cyborgs to exterminate these bonobo-like idiots.
In fact, even a person without cantus, Squealer, nearly managed to wipe them out. It was Kamisu 66 and Tomiko themselves who gave him chance to do so by driving Maria and Mamoru out of society. I almost wished Squealer would win this one.
Their own fear of everyone made them unable to kill a kid, raised by queerats. Death feedback from killing a human would have killed them if they killed her, but not doing it would have just led to them dying by her hand instead. Desire to protect one's life made them lose their lives.
In fact, it was these cantus wielding "scientists" who turned humans without cantus into queerats in the first place, reshaping them into some ugly beasts.
This show shows that science can lead to regress instead of progress in wielded by idiots would try to push their disgusting ideas on the rest of society, using science. That reminds me of feminism and ecologism, two disgusting ideologies, modern idiots try to push on the rest of society.
Finally, women should treat men, like queerats treat humans. More like men should treat women like humans treat queerats.
Men are gods, women are just beasts, that only look human.
