Yusuke Kishi /Sentai Filmworks you to discover what lies beneath the surface of their newest acquisition, FROM THE NEW WORLD (?????, Shin Sekai Yori, 2012). Based on the award winning novel by Yusuke Kishi, this epic tale explores the forces that shape mankind.

Born into a world 1000 years in our future, Saki and her friends Satoru, Maria, Mamoru and Shun, have lived their entire lives in what seems to be a perfect utopia. Not only is their small idyllic community overflowing with clean rushing water and abundant green foliage, but almost all technology has been rendered irrelevant by the magical power of “Juryoku,” the psychic ability to materialize anything one desires. But when Saki discovers a long lost artifact from the past, the facade of their world is shattered and the cracks that split the foundation of their new reality threaten to swallow them whole! Faced with a bloody secret history of how their world really came to be and thrust into a nightmarish new paradigm, Saki and her companions are confronted with dangers they never knew existed and a series of choices that may change the fate of every intelligent creature on the planet – ‘human’ and otherwise! Y?suke Kishi’s award winning novel becomes an epic new animated series as five young teens fight to survive the shocking revelations that come FROM THE NEW WORLD! FROM THE NEW WORLD will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow in 2013. The series will also be streamed on the digital distributor Anime Network starting in November (schedule to be announced). Episodes will be shown in Japanese with English subtitles and will be available to watch on Anime Network Online for FREE!
