From the New World
From the New World (Shinsekai yori) streams on Crunchyroll, and it's one of anime's most quietly devastating sci-fi masterpieces. Set in a far-future society built on psychic power, it starts as a serene coming-of-age tale and slowly peels back layers of dread and horror. Patient, intelligent, and genuinely unsettling, it rewards viewers who like their sci-fi to think.
About
A thousand years from now, humanity has been reshaped by the emergence of psychokinetic powers, and society has walled itself into a fragile, rule-bound utopia to survive its own abilities. Young Saki and her friends grow up inside this seemingly peaceful world, but as they come into their powers, unsettling questions surface about the fate of children who fail to awaken and the secrets their idyllic town keeps. Their coming-of-age becomes a slow descent into the disturbing truths beneath the new world's calm.
