Main Description
Set in Japan a millennium after our present day, the story follows the lives of five children as they live and attend school in the peaceful village of Kamisu's 66th district. The children, Saki, Satoru, Maria, Mamoru, and Shun, have telekinetic powers like all humans do in their time, and learn to harness and hone these powers through the strict supervision of their school and society to ensure they integrate and act peacefully in their utopia-like world. Soon, the children, especially the girl Saki, begin to witness and question mysterious elements of their society, and soon plunge into discoveries meant to be censored and hidden about humanity's past.

Personal Opinions
Willsun
I was pleasantly surprised the show kept my interest the whole way through. By now I've gotten sick of most of these Hunger Games-esque stories about big-brother societies managing "sheeple" and blah blah social commentary, but I think the whole thing kept itself afloat with really good suspense and mystery about what their world was like without using a lot of exposition. In fact, the whole series was good in delivering spookiness because they do a good job holding you back from knowing exactly what or who the enemy is, and showing you just enough trippy visuals to make you draw your own scary conclusions.
