Production/Background Information:
Today let’s talk about Masashi Sogo, who not only wrote today’s episode but also holds the role of Series Composition. He writes 14 of the show’s 25 episodes, more than double of any other writer on the show. He had previously written episodes 1 - 3, 7 and 10 and will write episodes 12 - 13, 16 and the final 5 episodes. He started his career writing the script for some OVAs including Dr. Typphoon and D-1 Devastator in the early 90s before making his series composition debut with the show Shadow Skill: Eigi in 1998. He’s soon after do two seasons of Nippon-ichi no Otoko no Tamashi, as well as a Rurouni Kenshin OVA and the TV show Great Teacher Onizuka. It looks like similar to Shin Sekai Yori, most of his work is done as an adapter (although typically manga rather than a novel). The years 1998 - 2002 are really prolific for him, with him also contributing scripts for a number of episodes of Hunter x Hunter, Yu Gi Oh and the Prince of Tennis, a show that was considerable in length (75 episodes) and he also acted in the series composition role for. He’d continue in the series composition role for anime such as Gantz, Bleach and Fairy Tail and would also contribute some Pokemon episodes for the “Diamond & Pearl” season. In the years before Shin Sekai Yori he primarily worked on a number of Break Blade movies as well as some more work on the Fairy Tail franchise, both of which he’d return to once Shin Sekai Yori was finished. His output seems to have slowed the last few years, with the last credited work of his I see on Digimon Ghost Game in 2021.

Questions of the Day
-
This episode has the students needing to pair up. How would you have paired up our characters?
-
If you were Saki what questions would you have asked Ryou to see if he was really part of their group all along?
-
Any theories for why the Head of the Ethics Committee has called in Saki, Satoru and Maria?
Tomorrow’s Questions of the Day
