I love the hell out of that anime but it’s difficult to recommend to people because explaining the setting so it doesn’t make people uncomfortable would spoil several of the plot twists.

back when Shin Sekai Yori aired, the yaoi jumpscare of Episode 8 caused a lot of people to drop the (very good) sci fi anime.

its why I dont like calling it scifi to people on suggesting it, because it kind of spoilers the premice on the idea how humanity got to that position in the first place. Its better advertised as fantasy mystery, than scifi.

Exactly. “Alternate timeline fantasy with some mythology vibes”, something like that.
