Both series are set in the future and are very heavy. Both require you to really think about what is going, watch carefully, and will have you thinking about them long after you've finished them. If you are looking for something serious and mind boggling to watch I would definitely recommend you either of these!
Both keep the audience "in the dark" for most part of the show. Giving away only bits and pieces of information for the audience to piece together and confirm as the show continues.
Both have pretty dark plots. And ask some deep questions.

They are both character driven shows that take place in a realistic future and follow child characters that learn about the harsh and dark reality of the world they live in wile the adults in charge of the situation keep trying to hid from them.

Both are an unsettling look into the human psyche in a dystopian future.

Similarly, this anime is dark depressing and melancholic with heavy themes of humanity, it's flaws and the perverted sense we have of what is right and wrong. Sometimes the perspective we have as humans is biased and limiting. In Shinsekai Yori the feeling of the human perspective on the world feels suffocating and this theme is explored thoroughly.
