Yakusoku no Neverland

Surrounded by a forest and a gated entrance, the Grace Field House is inhabited by orphans happily living together as one big family, looked after by their "Mama," Isabella. Although they are required to take tests daily, the children are free to spend their time as they see fit, usually playing outside, as long as they do not venture too far from the orphanage—a rule they are expected to follow no matter what. However, all good times must come to an end, as every few months, a child is adopted and sent to live with their new family, never to be heard from again.

However, the three oldest siblings have their suspicions about what is actually happening at the orphanage, and they are about to discover the cruel fate that awaits the children living at Grace Field, including the twisted nature of their beloved Mama.

Please Read Any Reviews After Watching Episode 1

The Promised Neverland Season 1 feels like being thrown into situations that feel greatly in the other person's favor. Time after time, the protagonists feel as though that they truly have no chance of getting out and are doomed to let this cycle continue forever after they're gone. And that creates immediate high stakes as well as making the viewer also participate, thinking of ways to outsmart the other force. It's incredibly well written in its story, world, characters, and slick problem-solving. For every step forward, it feels as though they take two steps back. I applaud Promised ... Neverland for both having such a great red herring beginning but being a genuinely terrifying premise. And to give the show more credit where its due, the withdrawal and gaining of new information every time feels rewarding, mysterious, and overall builds on this unique world. While the main characters aren't the most compelling of characters, they do their part in creating a dynamic that's engaging to watch, and shows how each of them has a very different viewpoint and philosophy of how to approach situations. This in turn creates scenarios that feel organic and natural instead of seeing characters switch approaches to further the plot and nothing else like in many other shows. The Promised Neverland is a great watch that you can't find much elsewhere in anime.

Mixed Feelings

If I could describe a fall from grace, it would be Promise Neverland. I remember watching this anime when it first came out and described it as peak after the first couple episodes. It gave us a thrilling, original premise, with some very interesting child characters. I'm a sucker for a bleak world, with minimal margin for success in the stories which this show felt like it was taking to another level. After the first season, I thought there was nowhere to go but up, but after watching season 2, it felt like it completely lost it's way. It honestly felt like there was a ... completely different writer or they just couldn't make it off the preservation with this world. I really wish this story would've worked, but it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

To describe tpn would be to describe it as a cheese omelette, only that the omelette has since gone cold and you can't heat it up in the microwave or it will explode. What I mean by that is it had so much potential to be sooo good. And then it wasn't. The first season wasn't horrendous and there were moments I enjoyed. Like the first episode and ray almost killing himself but after that, it just fell downhill. Also the manga is way better 4/10 don't recommend, go read the manga instead if u really like it

Now the art was pretty ok,the ... animation was pretty smooth, atleast the first season.
