Shin Sekai Yori (aka From the New World) is a 2012 anime series by A-1 Pictures. Based on the award-winning 2008 novel "Shin Sekai Yori" by Yusuke Kishi, the story is centered around Saki Watanabe and her group of friends who live in a future where humans have developed psychokinetic powers. This power however, comes at a cost that soon enough Saki and her friends discover.

Like most anime that are adapted from works of fiction outside of the genre, Shin Sekai Yori is very atypical in a good way. The pace is rather slow and plenty of time is spent on world and character building. I recently finished it and wanted to create this thread to check if people were even aware a Complete Collection was coming out. I think I might grab it down the line once a good sale comes along.
