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.

What makes a person? People say it takes a village to raise a child and in the case of this anime it very much rings true. What intrinsic details and elements go into making a person who they are and how they deal with their life? How we grow up, how we are raised. You know what it's like to be a child, to be a teenager.

This is easily one of the densest stories I've experienced. From the powers to the customs to the very fabric of the world they live in is very reminiscent of some elaborate social studies thought experiment. I won't ...

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 ...

As a lover of psychological/philosophical/mystery anime, this is NOT one I recommend. Shinsekai Yori fails terribly to hold any interesting substance, wether it be within its stories or its characters. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I truly do not understand how someone could see this as a good anime, so I will explain my thoughts with lots of details so you may figure out if the problems would disrupt your viewing experience as well.

(spoiler free)

Story - 4
The IDEA for the story is brilliant and had so much potential, which is clear throughout the first quarter of the anime. But it is poorly ...
