Shin Sekai Yori tells about the events of the future, in which people have learned to use telekinesis, and the appearance of humanoid intelligent beings. In the same year, the studio A-1 Pictures has released the anime adaptation of the manga series, directed by Masashi Isihama.
The anime does not have an opening theme but theme songs that are played during the closing credits. "Wareta Ringo" (Sliced Apple) by Risa Taneda was the first ending theme, and the second is "Yuki ni Saku Hana" (The Flower Blooming in Snow) by Kana Hanazawa.
