Shinsekai Yori is among the greats of anime with its top-notch narrative and the questions it poses about morality.
I have had the hardest time coming up with writing down articulate thoughts on the subject of Shinsekai Yori. Intrinsically, it's a difficult show to review in an unbiased manner. Either it blew you away with its world building, intrigue, intensity, and suspense or it bored you to death in the first…

Shinsekai Yori is a unique work of art that is difficult to classify. The mere fact that society is portrayed both as a utopia and a dystopia, should be indicative of this enough. And not only for its mixture of apparently contradictory genres, but also for the treatment that the anime gives to its…

This anime flew right past me on its original release back in 2012, but I can say I'm so surprised at what
I watched. This anime was marvelous because of its production, animation, and story. This isn't a regular dark/horror anime its a plot driven anime that has a constant dark vibe around it. It…

I'll make this review as spoiler free as possible, but it's impossible for me to write without minor spoilers. But don't worry, I have covered the spoilers with spoiler tags, so you can just skip it

I have heard people describing this anime as "Weird" so I hesitated. But now, I'm glad I w…

~~~The future of Shinsekai Yori is far from from cyberpunk's deams of neon or other dystopias' decaying concrete. It's a return to the old, a handful of villages surrounded by greenery and filled with beautiful traditional homes. It's post-apocalyptic, but really far into the _post_. Society has rec…
Read full review on AniList →Taut thriller paces perfectly through its narrative turns. The open fields of rural Japan never felt so oppressive.
There once was a gifted boy who had one fatal flaw. Oh yeah, and like some rather ordinary girl? ‘Shinsekai’ is about her, and thank *** for that.
Set aside for a moment the singularly mournful mood, the evocative use of music (especially Dvorak’s New World refrain), the rip-roaring plotting, and w…
Read full review on AniList →Shinsekai Yori is a blend of different genres that succeeds in entrancing the viewer with its world building.
Shinsekai yori(From the new world) is based on a novel by Yuusuke Kishi that centers on a utopian society in a dystopian future. The story explains how during a time period much like we are in now, a phenomenon occurs giving psychic abilities to 0.3 percent of the world population. This causes human…
Read full review on AniList →Shinsekai Yori affascina con il suo mondo e l'horror lovecraftiano, ma una narrazione frammentaria ne limita l'impatto
Shinsekai Yori è una serie che sembra aver alzato troppo il gomito, e ora vi spiego perché. Ogni buona storia ha bisogno di una bussola che orienti il racconto e mantenga il percorso il più lineare possibile. Ecco, Shinsekai Yori una bussola ce l’ha, ed è pure ben funzionante, ma prima di partire pe…

Anime has a high potential to provide a rich and thought-provoking story, but it wastes this potential for many reasons.

One of the most important ambiguous points of the story is Canto itself. A great power that i…

#__Scattered Thoughts__: _Shinsekai Yori_
_(Minor spoilers, no direct plot spoilers)_
<hr>
_Shinsekai Yori_ is not good, and that gives me zero pleasure to say. For a show that I've been apprehensive about watching for the sole reason that it's labeled as horror (I'm a wuss), I was excited to go…
Read full review on AniList →A masterful recipe; A hodgepodge team of amateur cooks
__Shinsekai Yori__ has one of the most polarised receptions out there. One side claims it to be heaven-sent, while the others find it to be deeply offensive to their very intellect. This polarisation boils down to pretty much one thing—its unconventional style of storytelling.
This review/essay is…

There's often a point in one's life to acknowledge the possibility of another worldly phenomenon outside of our collective conscience from where we live that is in contrast with our ideals. This philosophical problem has…
