Children of the Whales is like Shinsekai Yori’s ‘dumber’ younger sibling - reflected in the differences in target market between the two shows. They both feature seemingly peaceful worlds and young protgonists that fit in well with them, only to be thrown into much darker reality upon discoveries along the journey. Both shows revolve around an innate human supernatural power that effects society and politics. Expect plenty of world building and plot twists within both.

Both shows feature lush wooded settungs prominently. The tone for each is light but bittersweet, and likely makes the viewer emotional... there's a supernatural element to them too giving them a similar feel. Recommend both

...then you might like Made in Abyss add

Both shows feature very young protagonists who have an unusual sense of curiosity - although Shinsekai Yori is a coming of age story, which and has more of a dystopian feel. Both open up many questions for the viewer, and the characters strive to discover these secrets along the way. The settings are filled with nature over civilisation, creating a seemingly light atmosphere that has darker undertones (especially Shinsekai Yori)

Light-filled, airy, art palette. Anime follows main character who lacks confidence, and their path to becoming pro on a key hobby - Piano/Dancing although there is prior experience in Shigatsu. The atmosphere is lighthearted in both and many 'goofy' moments along with great characterisation.

...then you might like Yuri!!! on Ice add

Both shows feature a talented protagonist and follows them as they work their way up through competitions. A lot of time is spent on the performances in each, featuring excellent camerawork, and monlogues to make these moments highlights of the shows. The emotions and tension surrounding these events are closely explored too. The atmoshpere in each show is lighthearted, with comedy and heartwarming moments along with periods where the show is more serious. There are also romantic undertones in each - this forms a large part of each show's appeal. Art style in both is crisp and features a vivid palette.

If you liked Flying Witch add

...then you might like Amanchu! add

Both made by J.C Staff, 'Amanchu!' and 'Flying Witch' both have the same overarching lighthearted feel. The 'Slice of Life' genre is explored in both and each of the main characters move to a more rural setting, where they meet new people. The art style is comparable in both: highly detailed, brightly coloured landscapes and similar character designs. The main differences lie in the two locations: the seaside in 'Amanchu!' and rural Japan in 'Flying Witch'. The former focuses on diving while the latter combines the supernatural with reality.

If you liked Zetsuen no Tempest add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

Both have a similar mood and atomsphere. They both focus on groups of people with supernatural powers. Both have been adapted by BONES from a manga and feature a rather similar art style/colour scheme. Also each contain links to literacy - characters representing book authors in Bungou and the plot links to Shakespearean plays in Tempest (hence the show's title).

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

Both shows have a similar atmosphere and are intriguing. They are made by the same studio and feature a similar artstyle. Both shows are rather dramatic and involve mature themes/issues. Shinsekai Yori is not for everyone, but is very unique and BokuMachi is faster paced and has a wider appeal, but both shows are really something special.
