Synopsis

In the year 2011, a small percentage of humans began manifesting psychokinetic abilities known as "Cantus." Over a millennium later, in the small town of Kamisu 66, Saki Watanabe is the last of her friends to awaken her powers and join the Sage Academy, a school for psychics like her. Although everyone at the institution has Cantus, they are not all equal; shortly after Saki enrolls, one of her classmates who is regarded as being weaker than the others suddenly disappears.

Walking home one day with her friends—the determined Maria Akizuki, the intelligent Shun Aonuma, the observant Satoru Asahina, and the timid Mamoru Itou—she comes across two unfamiliar creatures known as "Monster Rats." These beings resemble moles and worship those with Cantus as gods. As a result, when Saki uses her abilities to save one from trouble, she is met with exceptional gratitude.

Now unsure about the Monster Rats' place in society, Saki and her friends find out about another disappearance. As time passes, they slowly look for answers to the mysteries that surround them and begin to realize that this seemingly "perfect" new world masks humanity's dark past.

Civilization as we know it has ended, and in quite a spectacular and brutal fashion at that. (It is just as well - we probably are not destined for a peaceable ending as a species anyway.) We are flung many centuries into the future, where a new kind of civilization exists comprised of humans that can use telekinetic powers, and we follow the perspective of a young girl who comes of age and is finally able to use these powers, having undergone her rite of passage through the village elders. From there, we follow her throughout her youth, exploring what it means to grow up ...

Mixed Feelings
Art - 6/10 Some clear Dips in Visual quality during the season, the character designs look pretty good but the inconsistent animation and lack of innovation lead to a 6.

Characters - 7/10 There is alot of characters, Soo many that names are hard to remember even though i finished this a few days ago, and alot of the characters are just there for one certain thing to happen, Saki is pretty cool!

Story - 6/10 The ending was very satisfying and the last 5 episodes were by far the best of the show, but the middle drags soo much just for an expected but good twist ...

Shinsekai Yori is psychological in the sense that it tries to carry a profound meaning with it. Anime with psychological themes tend to follow a pattern of the characters realizing the world is a big bad place, followed by well, the characters undergoing psychological distress upon this realization. The thing is, the characters being interesting should be the number one priority of the genre. There are a lot of messages this series tries to convey, and yet, the presentation of these themes are just so boring that it becomes difficult to care. Having something vaguely entertaining or engaging should be the bare minimum.

Initially, Shinsekai Yori ...
