I would object to using shinsekaiyori though. If I am to transliterate the Japanese, I would also go for Shinsekai yori too. Shin-sekai yori or Shin Sekai yori are also OK.
I consider Shinsekai as a whole unit of 'jukugo' (word unit) and hence grouped them together. Yori is a preposition-like modifier so is best written separately. Hence "Shinsekai yori".

shinsekaiyori is one word

since you're using romaji anyway why not use spaces since we're talking in english anyway
"shin sekai yori"
"from the new world"

Oh wow reading that post about the darker/more mature elements has actually made me a lot more excited for this.
Beyond jealous of those who saw the pre-air ;v; I can't wait for this!

I have read all the dozens of reply but it seems nobody had the slightest inkling that this is going to be a very different anime from what the synopsis and artwork tell you.
While I have not read the light novel, I have checked around discussion in Japanese forums to understand more about what this work is about.
Of course the anime adaptation may take a different approach, but so far what I learned is
- Terrible and scary things happen, including the history before the main story starts. Some readers of the novel in fact call it a scifi horror.
- The characters go into hardship and tough challenges in their growth. The story goes from the time when they are 12 to when they are 26.
- In the world, the relationship is dominated by promiscuity and homosexuality of either gender is openly accepted. (Check this diagram http://blog-imgs-55.fc2.com/r/a/k/rakusyasa/41814.jpg )
- The manga got a lot of attention in Japan for having very steamy yuri sex scenes

- The culture and intention of the ugly looking beast-like creature named Hagenezumi is one important key to the story
An advance screening event has been organized earlier this week and those lucky souls got to watch the first THREE episodes and the feedback has been very positive.
According to those who attended
- this anime will have TWENTY FIVE episodes (2 cours)
- in each of the first three episodes, the beginning shows part of the history before the main story. Ep.1 is the modern age where we live now. Ep.2's beginning part will show 500 years after that. Ep.3 570 years after our time. And the main story is 1000 years after our time.
- People seem to like the animation and the music a lot, particularly the ED
One thing I want to point out is that "From the New World" is classified as a proper Science Fiction instead of a light novel. The novel itself won the prestigious Japan SF Taisho Award ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_SF_Taisho_Award ) in 2008 and the author Yusuke Kishi was an acclaimed horror and mystery writer before he wrote From the New World. Apparently this anime project took 5 years to prepare so I have some expectation about this.

I also read/saw bits and pieces of this on the forum thread over at AnimeSuki. I however did not read about the pre-airing information since it was only a few days ago on September 25th.
That's pretty interesting. Pretty large time skips but i'm sure they'll be able to pace the story well. I'm definitely now looking forward to this airing in less than 24 hours in Japan. Thanks for posting this summary.

This sounds really interesting. I really like the key illustration, and I absolutely love Hanazawa Kana! ^^=
I'm really looking forward to this. Hope the "newface" does well; it'll certainly be an interesting experiment.

Sounds like there will be a high death count to this at the end. Innocents being forced into war never ends well.
I'll watch a few eps and see.

kanji are your spaces right so shin se kai yori
That's not how it works in transliteration of Japanese to English. The key unit is the jukugo 熟語 which can be formed by more than one kanj and one jukugo becomes one English word when transliteratedi. So you don't write 電車 as Den Sha but Densha in English. Some Japanese words that enter into English vocabulary follow the same rule, like Bonsai 盆栽 or Bushido 武士道.
