What an intense, compelling episode, right all the way to that 'holy sh -' ending. I don't know if Shin Sekai Yori can be classified as horror, but this episode had some unsettling moments, such as the ghostly shadow of Maria at Saki's window, Saki's 'decayed-like' memories of her sister, and Saki's elongated shadow while she was standing amidst dead trees, holding a torch.
Other than that, the animation was much better this episode. The preview's visuals remind me of Madoka Magica, for some reason. I hope Shun isn't dead yet...
