The sound is one of the areas this anime excels in. You will not see one character behaving as such and then the next episode they are being the polar opposite, everything is explained and shown very well. However, Shinsekai Yori pulls this off very smoothly, which is evidently seen with Saki and Satoru, which even applies to the supporting characters as well. With an anime that has twenty-five episodes, you would think it would not be enough time for proper character development from children to adults. There are a couple of anime who have attempted this children to adulthood metamorphosis motif within one season but they do not pull it off as well as Shinsekai Yori.

The main characters start off as children and by the end of the anime they are adults, with proper illustration of character development. The characters in this anime are just something else, with Saki as it’s shining star. The plot of the show flows very nicely from episode to episode and just as we approach the climax, there’s a plot twist and the storyline from that point just flips upside down in a way you would never expect it to. From the beginning we follow a group of five children as they grow up in the anime and see how they develop within a community bounded by strict rules, and deal with the decisions they make that alter the course of their lives and the entire society they live in. Japan a thousand years from the present in a utopia where a portion of the population retain a special power called psychokinesis. However, I did give it a shot and after finishing the anime I can promise that it is truly a spectacle, a diamond in the ruff. During midst of 2013 I looked at Shinsekai Yori, the promotional picture did not catch my eye and the premises did not spark my interests. But I can promise that the majority of you, as did I, most likely did not have Shinsekai Yori as a pick. Rewind back to the dawn of fall 2012, you are looking at the fall 2012 anime chart, and you pick probably 5-7 anime you are going to watch.
