About From the New World

From the New World (Shinsekai yori) blends supernatural, sci-fi and mystery by A-1 Pictures (2012). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: In the town of Kamisu 66, 12-year-old Saki Watanabe has just awakened to her psychic powers and is relieved to rejoin her companions—the mischievous Satoru Asahina, the shy Mamoru Itou, the cheerful Maria Akizuki, and Shun Aonuma. However, unease looms as Saki kicks off to question the fate of those unable to awaken to their gifts, and the children begin to get involved with secretive matters such as the rumored Tainted Cats said to abduct children.

Next up: Shinsekai yori tells the unique coming-of-age story of Saki and her companions as they adventure to grow into their roles in the supposed utopia. Accepting these roles, however, might not come easy when faced with the dark and shocking truths of society, and the impending havoc born from the new world.

With supernatural at the core, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. If you count yourself among fans of eerie, otherworldly settings, put it on your list.
