Both are disturbing tales about a group of children with special powers, forced into a situation they did not choose for themselves—with severe consequences.
At first glance these 2 shows aren't all that similar but my gut tells me otherwise so bare with me. Children suddenly find themselves working to keep the people they love safe. The children in both shows have access to special powers. Mecha in Bokurano, telekinesis in From the New World. The atmosphere and the tone of both shows are very similar along with a dark feeling of doom that keeps you watching to see what will happen next.
So yeah it might just be me that feels these 2 are similar but either way try one if you liked the other.

Although both anime differ greatly in terms of plot, there are a few striking similarities.
1. The protagonists are all children. Most part of Shin Sekai Yori, anyway.
2. The children of both anime are plunged into a cruel conspiracy created by the adults of both worlds. As both anime progress, we will soon realise the truth behind the cruelty of both worlds.
3. In both anime, the children are given special abilities to fight with. In Shin Sekai Yori, the children's psychic powers will awaken when they come of age (i.e., mainly telekinesis). In Bokurano, the children were given robots to pilot.
Both From the New World and Bokura No have similar art styles and utilize heavy psychological themes within their storytelling to slowly develop a horrifying truth that the story mainly revolves around. The main cast features kids who have to rely on each other to survive and pull through an overbearingly bleak circumstance that they've mysteriously gotten themselves in. Also, the adults within both series have a mostly negative relationship towards the chosen children, which makes them feel singled out within their unique societies. Furthermore, some extra similar qualities include how both are very existential, deal with Earth-at-stake scenarios, and explore identity quite a lot.
