Shinsekai yori brings to us a realistic future that is happening around one thousand years from now.Its setting is mostly happening in a small village that is excluded from the outside world.That village is the definision of the so called man-made utopia.The story follows a group of children with the power of PK(psychokinesis) who are living in that village.Ofcourse there is no such thing like a utopia and the children slowly discover the secrets behing the missing children,tainted cats,bakenezuims and the history of the mankind.
The anime may look childish at the beginning but I would not recommend letting your children watch it.Trust me!!!This anime is by no means a pleasant watch.If you want a nice relaxing story that you can eat popcorn with while relaxing on your bed search somewhere else it deals with many adult themes that are very disturbing.Well I guess that there are some people that laugh at tragedies but I am not one of them.I almost forgot don’t get turned off by the yaoi and yuri scenes , there arent a lot of them and they arent on level of the legendary ,,Boku no Pico”.Even these scenes have a impact and a meaning in the story.
The characters…There hasn’t been one anime that made me feel like this .I hate all of them.I want to butcher them all and burn their bones.But at the same time I love all of them.The main cast is composed of five characters Satoru Asahina , Mamoru Itou ,Shun Aonuma,Maria Akizuki and the lead Saki Watanabe.I love and hate all of them.There was also another character but I wont mention him here you will probably guess when you watch the anime.Each of these characters have unique personalities and all of them make realistic decision based more on their common sense and knowledge than fellings.
When writing about the sound of the anime you would begin from the opening.Opening ,opening , opening…Was there such a thing?No I don’t think so.There was no opening. Who needs an opening when you can listen to nice music all 24 minutes of the show. I think there wasn’t a moment when I didn’t hear the background music.The BGM was amazing and I don’t say that a lot because I don’t even notice that there is such a thing as BGM in most animes.
Art is probably the weakest point of the series,but I didn’t say anything about it being bad.The character desings were good and the background was amazing.Shortly said it did its job right.
I didn’t enjoy this anime.Not in a single moment.There were times when I was jumping around my room imagining myself killing all the people in this anime.Especially in the end I even had dreams in which I did all sorts of censored thing to them.There is no enjoyment in this anime only suffering.Only a true M would enjoy this.
So this is the end of the review, I said all I wanted to say now its up to you guys whatever you will watch it or not.I fell like I forgot something(Probably nothing important).
Sorry for the gramatical mistakes in the review.English is not my mother language so bare(deal) with it.Thanks for reading.
