A thousand years from now, a fraction of humanity has developed psychokinesis — Cantus — and the rest has been quietly bred or relocated out of the way. Saki Watanabe is twelve, awakening to her own Cantus, and being processed through the Sage Academy alongside her four closest friends. The town she lives in is small, the lake is beautiful, the rules are explicit. The forbidden things — the existence of monsters called Tainted Cats, the unspoken rules about which children disappear before graduation — only start cohering into the truth as Saki gets older. By the time she does, the new world the title promised is harder to come home from.

A unique work of art.
Uma verdadeira obra de arte em suas ideias e execuções!
Taut thriller paces perfectly through its narrative turns. The open fields of rural Japan never felt so oppressive.
Shinsekai Yori is a blend of different genres that succeeds in entrancing the viewer with its world building.
Shinsekai Yori affascina con il suo mondo e l'horror lovecraftiano, ma una narrazione frammentaria ne limita l'impatto
The slow decay into nothingness as everyone clutches to a life bound for failure.

Not so much a trainwreck as a train that has derailed and somehow keeps moving.
