Children of The Whales (2017, J.C. Staff)
クジラの子らは砂上に歌う
Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau
This is an interesting show that was almost exclusive to Netflix. Visually it looks great. The style reminds me a lot of Ghibli movies but also of From The New World.
A group of people are stranded on an island known as the "whale" as it travels along the desert. Some are gifted with psychic powers while others are not. As they live their simple peaceful lives on this tiny island they suddenly find themselves under attack by outsiders wearing masks. What surprises them is that they looked alike and also possessed similar powers to themselves. As they let one of the attackers who regain her emotions stay with them, they learn their attackers have lost their emotions. They also learn more about the outside world and the deeper secrets of their own island.
An interesting world setting to say the least. If the above doesn't sound interesting, you can watch it for the artwork at least.
