Koujiro Shindo. A highly skilled and sought after negotiator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Scarily good at what he does, he prepares to depart by plane for his next assignment.But he and the other passengers aren't going anywhere, as their plane is suddenly enveloped by an impossibly huge cube. A pulsing object of obviously inhuman origin and design.While those on the outside scramble to try and make sense of what they're witnessing, Shindo and the plane are alive and well inside this cube. But they're not alone.This is the KADO. And its mysterious occupant, Yaha-kui zaShunina. Yaha-kui zaShunina wishes to speak with humanity, and he needs a negotiator. Shindo and the world at large can only guess what this enigmatic visitor from beyond has in store for humanity.Kado: The Right Answer (or Seikaisuru Kado) is a 2017 CGI anime produced by Toei Animation and written by novelist Nozaki Mado, and can be legally viewed subbed on Crunchyroll here, and dubbed on FUNimation here. The Simuldub premiered on April 25th, 2017.The series received a manga adaptation as well as a spinoff manga, detailing how the civilians are dealing with zaShunina's arrival on Earth and the gifts he gives to humanity and set from the perspective of two high school students. An alternative take on the tale written by Mado, Seikaisuru Mado, was published shortly after the anime finished up.A movie retelling the events of the anime, Kado: Beyond Information, premiered at Anifilm in 2018. The movie advertises itself with a different ending than the anime's version, which it delivers on. The movie was available for free with subtitles here until 2019. | |

Arc Symbol | |
| Kado: The Right Answer / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: Origami is ever present throughout the show. Shindo folds paper animals whenever he's idling, and he gives zaShunina a paper-seahorse bookmark, which becomes a symbol of their bond. Kanata discovers how to create a source of limitless energy with origami, using nothing but ordinary paper.note Of course, it turns out there's a hyper-dimensional trick to it too. If you think about it, the anisotropic is used to fold the space-time continuum, which takes the symbolism to a cosmic scale. Even KADO itself looks like higher-dimension origami with its dynamic fractal patterns. The series ends on a shot of three conspicuously color-coded paper cranes, kept inside a glass display box. Inside of which no force should be able to act upon them; yet somehow the blue one gracefully tips sideways, gently resting its wing over the smaller purple one. | |

Instant Expert: It takes zaShunina roughly a minute to become fully fluent in verbal Japanese, having taken the language from Shindo's cell phone. It takes scientist Kanata Shinawa a few hours at most to crack how the Wam works, giving her the ability to make them. | |

Elephant in the Living Room | |
| Kado: The Right Answer / int_26fa627a | comment |
Elephant in the Living Room: Even by episode 8, zaShunina is largely ignored by the international community. Or rather, zaShunina is pretty much ignored by any and every government, other than Japan's. That being said, what can be described as a low key Resource War over the Wam that zaShunina bestowed and was intended to be distributed among all of humanity almost occurs when the UN demands all of the Wam to be handed over to them. Ironically, the media succeeds in making solid contact with zaShunina on a semi-regular basis and even interview him. | |

The World Is Not Ready: When asked what she thinks of the Wam, Tsukai answers with this, believing humans have just been given a power they are in no way ready for. It's not just that— her viewpoint reaches toward a conservative view, saying that the gifts zaShunina is giving us are a huge, all too suspiciously quick step for the world after billions of years of natural evolution. | |

| Kado: The Right Answer / int_55d919f7 | comment |
Lovecraft Lite: Thankfully, instead of the massive Cosmic Horror Story potential he is implied to have, zaShunina only seems to be interested in advancing humanity. So far. After episode 6, the full extent of Yaha-kui's motives appear to be more like the exact opposite of a Cosmic Horror Story...taken to its Logical Extreme. Ironically, this really is the main driving force of the show. Anisotropic beings constantly crave for more information to process. As such, they have - after many attempts - succeeded in creating an endless source of information: humanity. | |

| Kado: The Right Answer / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Shindou, in spite of his otherwise eccentric personality off-duty, is still considered one of, if not the best negotiator in all of Japan. Despite his relatively meek personality, Hanamori seems fairly reliable when it matters. Kanata Shinawa is stated by her teacher/mentor/guru (a Nobel Prize winner) to have so much talent that she will earn 10 Nobel Prizes. This, despite being a massive Womanchild (which is another description her teacher gave about her immediately afterwards). This is exactly why she is one of the very few people in the whole world who can actually make Wam. | |

Lies to Children: zaShunina's explanations usually have to be boiled down to this. His problem is that much of what he's talking about lacks even a concept in this universe's laws of physics, and then has to be conveyed using human language. | |

Humanity Is Infectious: As zaShunina spends more time on Earth, and as he spends it alongsode Shindo, he starts to show more human traits and physically express himself more. As Episodes 8 and 9 show, this is not portrayed as a necessarily good thing, especially for the man he eventually falls in love with. | |

In order to solve humanity's problems, he is ultimately willing to introduce an amount of change that many might perceive uncomfortable. Then there's also the fact that he wants to bring the whole mankind to the anisotropic with him, even if that means that most of people on Earth will perish in the process. In his mind, he is doing a good thing. | |
