What on earth is going on? - Jiggly - 12-08-2015
I have just started watching this show: Shinsekai Yori

Now, I'm hooked on it... But am currently baffled. I literally have no idea what the hell is going on in this show. Has anyone else watched it or want to try the first couple of episodes and let me know know what you think?
MyAnimeList Synopsis:
A millennium from now, in Japan, exists a utopia. The protagonist, Saki Watanabe, lives in an idyllic village barred from the outside world. Her world is ruled by the people who possess the "gods' power" of psychokinesis. After finally obtaining her own powers, Saki enters the Zenjin Academy to train along with five other children: Satoru Asahina, Maria Akizuki, Mamoru Itou, Shun Aonuma, and Reiko Amano.
Not all is as it seems, however. In this utopian village, strange rumors about a monstrous cat that abducts children circulate, and students are said to disappear from the academy. The world and its history are much darker than they appear and humanity is on the verge of collapsing.

Yep. I dropped it around the last 2-3 episodes. It's fairly good, just lost my attention. We should watch the last few episodes together.

Yes please! That would be great! I still can't work out why I'm so drawn to it.

Spoiler: Actual Spoiler
The episode or two where the characters are all in homosexual relationships was somewhat off-putting. Not that I'm homophobic or anything.

I'm currently watching it, it's great anime but it can be slow at times. I'm planning a review when I finished the last couple of episodes.

That gets explained further onwards.

I like this idea! Except we live thousands of miles away from each other...

It's a very weird show, but I am strangely hooked.
