Shin Sekai Yori

From The New World is an amazing show. It is very thought provoking when it comes down to it. Everything is designed to make you think and see the world from the eyes of the well developed characters. The music and art style match the tone very well to help bring this show together as a masterpiece. My only complaint is that I want to see even more! I have watched through the show several times while sharing it with friends, and I am impressed all over each and every time. There is always more to see and understand in this show, and that is why I keep on coming back. I highly recommend this show to everyone, it is an experience you won't regret.

Despite his really slow rythm, it is indubitably worth it. The ending is simply the wisest of all, allowing us to make senseful parallels with our society. Plus the drawings are really enjoyable.

I gotta say this anime gave me such goosebumps that I hadn't felt in a long time. The story had a nice flow to it especially with it's intense horror scenes. It was even nice to see added romance into it as it kept the storyline going. The animation was well done including the English Dub actors.

Very satisfied that I got to see a decent horror anime for a change!

This show was pretty weird, and considering most animes are weird by default, that's saying something. I did like it, but it was kinda slow.

It's set 1000 yrs in the future and mankind has evolved psychic and telekinetic powers called 'cantus'. Saki and her friends are adolescents who are just learning about their cantus powers. They live in a seemingly peaceful and idyllic society. Yet children from their school occasionally go missing, and everyone forgets about them really quickly. Saki and her friends go on an excursion and meet an interesting creature that reveals secrets about mankind's past. From then on, Saki and friends become targetted as troublemakers since they now know things that were meant to stay secret.

While this show is long and can be slow, it's not boring, and has a constant sense of menace, where you don't know what's going to happen next, but you get a feeling it's going to be something bad. The animation is different to most of the shows I've seen lately, maybe lower budget, yet it's still decent. The characters are well developed and you really care about their predicaments.

I say watch it if you're looking for something dark and different.

This anime took my heart and crushed it into a million pieces. There's so many surprises in almost every episode and it combines complete horror with mentally traumatizing information. Loved every second of it. From the suspense it builds up in the first few episodes to the last heart-pounding seconds, I could not stop watching. This one, out of all animes, followed me into my dreams. It is an unforgettable anime, but it is worth every single second of your time. I recommend this one 10/10 to thriller fans. The character design art is beautiful, the scenery is amazing, and the composition of real life cultural diversity and political problems makes it almost realistic. It's gripping and tragic. It comprises all genres into one amazing plot line. Truly surprising that it isn't as popular as other animes.
