I just finished watching Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World) yesterday.
For those of you with the mental fortitude to sit through 25 episodes of some of the absolute worst that humanity has to offer, you couldn't ask for a more brilliant show. And trust me when I say that this show is dark. Like, systematic killing of children type of darkness.
But if you can deal with that, the payoff is so worth it. I don't regret watching it for a second.
And if you've heard of it in passing, then yes, the show does indeed have one or two yaoi scenes. And I know that this is something that for some people was reason enough to drop the series entirely, but it shouldn't be. This has nothing to do with your homophobic sexual preferences, this is art.
I gave this show a 10/10 without question. It's thought provoking and evocative. It's easily one of the best anime out there.
