From the New World (新世界より Shin Sekai Yori?) is a Japanese novel by Yusuke Kishi. An anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired between September 2012 and March 2013. It has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America.
The story is set in Japan a millennium from now. Five children—Saki, Satoru, Maria, Mamoru, and Shun—have been born and raised in a tranquil town, Kamisu's 66th district, that can be described as a utopia overflowing with water and green foliage. The world is ruled by people who have the "cursed power" or the "gods' power" of telekinesis (呪力 juryoku?). After a certain incident, Saki and the others come to realize the true nature of their world. Before long, they learn everything, including the bloody history that brought humanity to this state. The five throw themselves into life-threatening adventure and fight to protect friends and a world on the brink of collapse.
