Shinsekai Yori First Impressions

Shinsekai Yori First Impressions

Going in blind, always a good idea!

Starts off nice and creepy.

I've heard the young girl's voice somewhere before. Gonna bug me now. (Maria-chan... maybe?)

It never hit me - cat-god what - how much I miss watching anime regularly. And writing regularly.

God damn this has a good soundtrack.

It's got an 'old' look to it.

"Burn away the last bits of your earthly desires." Creepy.

Note to self: Play more Ten Desires; haven't touched it since patch came out.

POLTERGEIST

... or just psychic powers.

I love how nobody's freaking out about it except Saki.

Sealing gravity into a tiny paper dollcharm. 'kay.

Oh god they impaled and burnt her gravity!

Wait... she lost her psychic powers? I thought those were good!

Those uniforms look weird.

I'm assuming she knew all these kids beforeha- OH GOD TERRIFYING CGI FACE.

Anyway yeah, apparently this is a school for... psychics?

Giant flying insects. Wonderful. Nice use of spot color for the flashback, though.

So that's how shimenawa's pronounced...

Mind-painting. Or mind-sketching, or whatever.

This show has some excellent artistic moments. The story about Akki stands out in particular.

People disappear before graduating from Wakien? Creepy. And presumably a graveyard in the court yard.

Someone's gonna die aren't they?

I always pick the best shows to watch around Halloween. Another being the prime example.

"I've had it with losing children!" Holy shit, the cat spirit thing is true. God this is creepy.

What exactly /is/ a spirit of adulthood?

Ending theme isn't bad; entirely too upbeat (disclaimer: I have no idea what the lyrics are) for what seems to be a horror/psychological series, though.
