Summary:
A millennium from now, in Japan, exists a utopia. The Protagonist, Saki Watanabe, lives in an idyllic village barred from the outside world. Her world is ruled by the people who possess the "gods' power" of psychokinesis. After finally obtaining her own powers, Saki enters the Zenjin Academy to train along with five other children: Satoru Asahina, Maria Akizuki, Mamoru Itou, Shun Aonuma, and Reiko Amano.


Not all is as it seems, however. In this utopian village, strange rumors about a monstrous cat that abducts children circulate, and students are said to disappear from the academy. The world and its history are much darker than they appear and humanity is on the verge of collapse.

This anime is really unique. It does not really have a specific genre.

The anime was really quite hard to understand, especially since they do not give us time to digest the information they are feeding us. The names of the creatures and the types of species there are were hard to grasp. They way they give us information was also really dry and not unique, so it was hard to take it in since it was boring. 
It was also hard to understand the feelings at that point of time, because they make it seem like everyone was evil all the time. So it was hard to understand who was evil and who wasn't. There was also a change in drawing in the middle of the first arc of the show, so I was very confused as to what was happening. 

The anime may have very boring parts, but it's usually quite intense and thrilling for the climax of each parts.
The unique thing about this anime is that human relationships between one anther is not differentiated between boys and girl. You can be a lesbian one time, and yet still like a boy after that. I guess this is how the society would look like if the world accepts lesbians and gays. 
I think that this anime actually shows a lot about the human race, in a unique and indirect way. About how human view themselves as a being more superior than others, and also about the way the human acts when facing different situations (e.g. when stressed).

I like the way they draw the hair. Didn't really like the way they drew the eyes though.
I find the designs some times a little weird. But I think they could really bring out the personality of a person from their designs.
The animation was smooth too.
