| Finally decided to watch the anime adaptation... And wow, I don't regret it, it looks great so far ! I especially love the voice actors' job, they convey the characters' emotions so well (especially Emma's va, she did such a fantastic job at the end) and their voice fits them perfectly, I don't have an issue with any of them. (But I just found out Norman's va is the same as Rikka Takanashi's ? Impressive, I didn't at all recognize her.) The musics are also very good ( ), and the animation of the facial expressions is great ! I also love the way the demons' eyes move, such a nice detail. I think my only complaint would be that it gave way too many hints before the reveal, I remember when I first read the manga having been caught completely by surprise, but I don't think that would've been the case if I started with the anime. But other than that, it's really, really good so far. I missed the atmosphere of this arc so much... And it's very interesting to see some of the characters' reactions now that I know them better. |

| Ok, so the 2 kids escaped running from under the truck with Monsters + Mom right next to them? Some pretty good teleportation skills. |
 |
| Holy shit dude, raising humans in an orphanage just to be eaten as human meat? That's dark. I had a feeling since this episode was giving off some creepy vibes that the people that got outside of the House probably died or were killed or something. This will be fun to watch. |
| An issue I had was how they ran from under the truck without being noticed @_@ Overall was a nice 360 in atmosphere. |

| I guess i realized the meanings behind the plot: - If you think in the kids as being... broccolis - - Then you have a great anti-vegan propaganda - Please Have Mercy on the Vegetables |

| Ah yes. Child harvesting... |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This was so suspenseful I was shocked when I saw those monsters I was just lost for words and still am. I must binge watch it now. |

| Rewatching The Promised Neverland to prepare myself for its 2nd season in a few weeks, as well as just experience the nostalgia of watching one of my favorite beginning arcs in all of anime/manga, a time when TPN was good and not messed up really badly unlike how the manga ended up to be. I won't take the manga downfall at all into account for how I view this anime as well as the next season too. But yeah, the first episode was excellent and felt like it just flew by naturally. Emma, Ray and Norman are already really good and fitting protagonists for a show like this, and the world is surely fascinating to say the least. It's a world that's full of mystery, especially since the children have only been in one area for most of their lives, the orphanage, which turns out to be a farm for grooming children and preparing the best quality ones to sell to monsters outside the gate to consume. I wonder if animals feel the same way as these kids in this show. The animation is solid, not too dynamic but the frames look well drawn for me and the monster from what I got a glimpse of, looks nicely animated too. The art isn't quite as intense as the manga but for an anime, it does the job nicely and the music composition fit the show really well too. The opening song by UVERworld was intense and an adrenaline rush and the ED song by Cö shu Nie was fantastic too. Dub is great too, mainly since Erica Mendez is voicing Emma, and she's one of my favorite anime dub voice actresses out there. Laura Post being Isabella was good too. As far as the content goes, it was a great hook really, seeing the kids have fun in the orphanage and treat each other like family but then Emma and Norman learned the truth about how cruel the world really is and how their fun and optimism was just an illusion in the end, and how their mother who they idolized was just using them to protect herself by preparing and selling them to be sacrificed. Definitely has one of the best hooks I feel for a Jump anime/manga for sure. Overall, an excellent start for me and I can't wait to rewatch the rest of it now. |
One of the anime with a very good first episode. |
| I had been spoiled about Conny's death and that the children are actually food. But it was thrilling to watch none the less. The last moment showing Mama looking at the end was creepy. Now I'm expecting jump scares. |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Why did I wait so long to start watching this series? They really buttered us up for the ending; I wasn't expecting that. |
| Wow. Nice revelations at these first episode. So, i don't need to waste my poor brain to guess whats shit happened at those orphanage. Lol. Mama, what have you done? Selling those cute petite children to the demons? Sigh. 12102045. What a shit beginning for Emma and her friends. Wait, Emma. I thought she was a boy before reaching this show. Lmao. Nice trade. She was a genki girl. What a lovely personality to be added to those survival games. Her probability to survive has been increased. Yes, indeed, its a survival game. The problem was not just her. But everyone. They were trying hard to flee with everyone else? Crazy shit dream. The strategy was not enough. You needed more than a good luck, fortune, skill, determination, and ofc a lot of sacrificial, to be able to saved those all. Oh well. Guess, i need to calm down. Because this just a beginning before a shit storm. Thanks for that. I had enough motivation to continue watching. Lol. Wish me luck until the end.... |

| Oh man, I kind of knew the premise of the story... and was like "heh, I bet they're going to get eaten"—because I've seen a bunch of shows like that—and yet was still surprised. And I didn't see the demons coming. When that one was looking under the truck and the eyes snapped forward, that made me jump. |
| Oh man, that last shot of the Mom at end was CHILLING. What a hopeless situation for the kids, that's rough. Can't wait to see more. |
| I mean, I'm really enjoying it so far, but something about the art style annoys the crap out of me , every time I see their faces from front view, I feel like I just want to open the photoshop and move their facial features with the lasso tool lol |

| BRUH I'm literally watching this because someone told me that Connie dies in ep 1 and I'm still crying I started kinda considering eating meat again but this anime be making me remember why I became vegetarian in the first place and I'm only on the first episode. Like imagine being raised only to get eaten T_T |
| I have not read the manga so I did not know what i was getting myself into with this anime. What I got from the first episode definetly gets my hopes up though. The main characters seems intresting and the anime quickly takes a dark turn which makes me want to watch the next episode immediatly. |
MAL: |
| Wow, that ended in a flash. Mom is so creepy. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |

| Holy shit. I'm not into horror, but that was an amazing first episode. The soundtrack, animation and OP are all awesome! The scene at the end was spine-chilling. I'm hooked. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Great introduction during whole episode, really looking forward to see what interesting adventure these orpahans will bring us |
| A solid opening episode to the show with some creative camera work thrown in. Not bad at all. The kids themselves also seem like they'll be intriguing, but I'll have to wait and see. The premise by itself is very promising. Hopefully, it will keep this dark tone and aesthetic that it's got going throughout. I look forward to seeing where this show goes. |
 |
| Starting with the first episode first the OP was so good like it fits like a boot and we get to see the world in our own eyes so not much vagueness there Introducing our characters there's a lot honestly and now that I thought of it how do they even live on their own with that much confined space and no source of food insight That was creepy as fuck RIP Conny just killed off like that, Now Emma and Norman's starting to think what's next for them hopefully not food, Finally I got to hear that damn OST it's good. |
  |
| That was one hell of a reveal. No way they actually made it out undetected with that layout though. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Am i the only one who have strong The Island movie vibes from the first episode? |
| Amazing OP, visuals and song. Crazy start and that ending with their "Mom" standing there ... fak. |
 |
| I wonder what the factory farm version is like. |
  |
| Interesting first episode |
 |
| The biggest plus I find of this epesode is that it does have an ominous undertone to it, like, why are all wearing the same? The only problem is that 80% of the episode is just the kids playing tag. |
| Didn't expect the secret of the orphanage to be that it was actually a human livestock farm, apparently for demons of some sort. Has the existence of these demons been kept completely under wraps so far? |

| Knew the uneasy opening scene was gonna build up to something but god damn. That reveal was horrifying. Emma and Norman might actually have a shot at escaping if they somehow found a window to sneak out from that one. |
| I knew the lil kid was gonna be dead but I didn't expect fucking MONSTERS LOL |
