Shinsekai Yori

Description: * Based on Kishi Yuusuke's award-winning 2008 speculative-fiction novel Shin Sekai Yori.

The story is set in Japan a millennium from now. Five children — the protagonist Saki, Satoru, Maria, Mamoru, and Shun — have been born and raised in a tranquil town that can be described as a utopia, overflowing with water and green foilage. The world is ruled by people who have the cursed power or the gods' power of telekinesis.

After a certain incident, Saki and the others come to realize the true nature of their world. Before long, they learn everything, including the bloody history that brought humanity to this state. The five throw themselves into life-threatening adventure and fighting to protect friends and a world on the brink of collapse.

Airs on September 29th.

That was... different? Not really sure what to make of it. Will have to see the next episode before I can say much.

Having just watched the first episode, I honestly have no idea what this show's about, what it's going to be like, or even what genre it belongs in. But it's definitely got me interested. Looking forward to the next one.

Really love that opening/theme =)

Story itself looks nice for now, and 25eps are enough to get a story running...

Uh huh... okay then. I still don't have a damn clue as to what is going on exactly. Weird as all hell. Is it good? Yeah, I think so? It's just weird.

jaybug · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2012, 05:56:42 PM »

First episode was interesting, second...um...er... not sure what to think.

Well, I know what I think of it: a complete and utter mess. I'm not sticking around for more when the other shows I've seen so far were far more interesting from the start.

One thing I'd like to ask, WHY IS THIS SHOW SO DAMNED LOUD?!?

Slysoft · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2012, 01:43:51 PM »

I think this show is too intellectual for a lot of people.

I wouldn't say it is too intellectual, it is maybe too Japanese styled storytelling. Where the author leaves a scene, because if not, the reader would know what is going on, and we can't have that now can we? Jump from here to there, and make everyone wonder where the hell we are now. And why.
