Synopsis

In the town of Kamisu 66, 12-year-old Saki Watanabe has just awakened to her psychic powers and is relieved to rejoin her friends—the mischievous Satoru Asahina, the shy Mamoru Itou, the cheerful Maria Akizuki, and Shun Aonuma, a mysterious boy whom Saki admires—at Sage Academy, a special school for psychics. However, unease looms as Saki begins to question the fate of those unable to awaken to their powers, and the children begin to get involved with secretive matters such as the rumored Tainted Cats said to abduct children.

Shinsekai yori tells the unique coming-of-age story of Saki and her friends as they journey to grow into their roles in the supposed utopia. Accepting these roles, however, might not come easy when faced with the dark and shocking truths of society, and the impending havoc born from the new world.

A unique and honest depiction of humanity and the unshakable grasp that fear and hatred have on it. Humanity will do what it must to preserve its culture and society, morally grey (or flat out destructive) as it may be. We see in this anime strong themes of class division, racism, war, death, and isolation. Dark, poignant, and heart wrenching at times. I love this look at post apocalyptic earth. Leaving behind the usual trope of technological devastation, the story follows a more philosophical and naturalistic movement. Animation is absolutely stunning, and they pulled it a very high concept world extremely well. Great soundtrack also. ...

This series is held back severely by poor pacing in its first half, which, although necessary for fully grasping the events that occur in its second half, unnecessarily confuses the watcher, testing their patience for and tolerance of constant barrages of unfiltered and unexplained information. However, Shinsekai Yori shines in its second half, gripping the audience with brutal depictions of rage and fear, building tension in a way I thought it wouldn't be able to. For me, this series is a rewatch, and unfortunately, a sort of disappointing one. I had thought I loved it, but after watching it again, the flaws stand out and ...

It started when I thought of watching anime similar to "Shiki". This was one of the recommended and had a higher score than Shiki so I had high hopes. Turned out this is like a nightmare and literally made me believe that to whoever the people who scored this with a 7 or above on MAL were definitely trolling. Save your eyes and your mind! The first two episodes made me think maybe this has the pace of Shiki and has probably a similar plot to "A Promised Neverland" but just has a terrible and bland story overall. Stupidly overrated. If I were to give ...
