So I haven't been sleeping well. I have periods of this rather often when I need to do something to "drive" me to sleep. Something like a game or show to take my mind off of things and shut me down.
So I've started watching anime again. The last time I watched a current anime was fansubs of Code Geass so I'd say around 2008? I've rewatched my old favorites since then but I hadn't been keeping up with anything new or even the series I like. (One Piece for example, but I'm still reading the manga.. slowly. I let a good 30+ chapters collect before I read them all).
I'm watching Shin Sekai Yori (from the new world) on crunchyroll since Keir has an account (I also watched some sappy stuff earlier this week). I'm really surprised with how good it is. It's based off a society of people who have developed telekenetic power and use hypnosis and power of suggestion to bend people to their will. Anyone or thing that threatens the status quo or is perceived as a threat is eliminated. It starts from a group of 5 children and then they learn the hidden truths that make up their society as they grow up.
It's like reading a really good book instead of watching an anime. As soon as the episode starts I feel like I blink and its over. I'm also watching Maoyu which is about a female demon king joining forces with a human legendary hero to change the world to one that can sustain itself without war and Magi which has taken the whole Aladdin tale and spun it completely different.
If there is any anime that I should check out let me know?
