| I'm glad the anime adaptation is more fast spaced than the manga, also less repetitive dialouges... Now it's promising, i hope they will keep this up and throw out the garbage things on the window. |
| Merciful lies or painful truth? |
| Krone is certainly a special kind of person, she seems like she's kind of a baka compared to the one true mama though. Mama gets all Tsundere on Krone. "I just requested an assistant, betsuni I requested you specifically dakara ne!" I know she said it nothing that, but I can't help but hear it anyways. I kind of want to think that the whole spy thing is a red herring, but idk if this series seems like it's willing to throw any red herrings around, it's been pretty straight forward so far. It seems to want to focus more on strategy/action/horror than any sort of mystery. Which I'm honestly fine with so far. I do have to say that this series makes for a really good group watch because of all the elaborate theories. Liinah said: Mama said that she's able to send the kids anytime, then why doesn't she send the ones that found out about the farm already? Or is she waiting for them to be 12 years old? (idk what age they were) Idk if this was mentioned, avoiding reading cause these topics seem very spoilery.. I assumed it was because of who it was that found out, the top performers on the farm. Norman mentioned his theory about how they save the top performers until they turn 12 because oishii brains or something. So yea, I think you're right. She's probably just confident that she can just keep them around until they're 12. |

| Sister Krone seems to be even bigger threat than Mother. She is not only cunning and very smart, but she is also physically way above Mother (well, we haven't seen Mother's abilities yet, although in my oppinion Krone has better condition anyway). The fact she lost with that game with kids doesn't change the fact she achieved a lot while being only for a short period of time in that kindergarten. Her mind games might be even more dangerous than Mother's. I really like the theme of our trio (main characters) getting the idea of play hide-and-seek just to master other kids' abilities that will be useful during their escape from the kindergarten. This playtime as a cover for a fast and special training is dedicated literally to all of them (even main characters) and in my oppinion it's gonna be crucial when the time comes. But I share Ray's worries... Unfortunatelly, many of kids won't make it. :( I hope I will be wrong, though, and everyone's gonna be free. Too bad one of kids is a spy and everything points to that girl with glasses. |
| God hide and seek nice play norman and ray. |

| Many people are saying that the adaption its not good because they are cutting a lot of parts. I think it's a bad thing also, however i have a lot of friends that are watching it and think its amazing (thtey didnt read the original manga) anyway, I am kinda liking the promised neverland (the anime) and also i made an amv based on the episode 2, feel free to check it here |
| As an anime only patron I'd like to say that I'm so far satisfied with how the anime is being done. 7.5/10 To some of the LN and manga readers; forgive me for saying that I don't share any of your malcontent towards this adaptation because I ALWAYS took it upon myself to avoid anything that would form even the slightest preconceived and preconditions that arises when spoiled by source materials. Getting surprised and be put awe when things are revealed as they unfold is what I (and probably others) live for when watching. None of you will ever have that when you watch because you probably all had it when you read about it so the experience wouldn't be as impactful as it would be to us. |

(idk what age they were) Idk if this was mentioned, avoiding reading cause these topics seem very spoilery.. Spoilerfree answer: She believes to have everything under control. Letting the children figure out about the demons is a slip-up that she does not want their superiors to know about. It puts a nasty stain on her clean record as the top of the top mom's among farms. I see, I thought everything would be solved if she just sent them already before more would found out but.. apparently not an option. Thanks though! |
| Another really good episode. This show is incredible at building the tension as the situation for the kids worsens. The "cat and mouse" situation between them and the caretakers is fantastic. I'm seriously considering just bingeing the manga but I kinda wanna hold off until the anime is over. So from the episode it seems they are heavily hinting that the glasses girl overheard them talking? At least that's what I got from the way she was watching them this episode. When Emma was checking the new kid for a tracking device I think she needed to be more careful what she was saying and when to do that. The game of tag was great too. Norman and Ray winning was satisfying to see and that look Sister Krone's face. |
 |
| Hmm, I don't think the glasses girl is a red herring. She might end up being sort of a double agent? We see shots of someone spying on the main 3 in the forest, but there was also a shot that looked like someone was spying on Sister Krone in her bedroom. Glasses girl does seem a little too timid to defy the Mom and/or Sister Krone though, so maybe it's two different people spying? Idk, it'll be fun to see who's who as this plays out! Also, I read that there was a lot of inner monologue that was spoken aloud in the anime, which is a shame. These kids seem a bit too smart to talk about their plans out in the open like this, especially when Emma was talking about the tracking implants right next to glasses girl. |
anesubt said: Do you realize this is manga? Not a novel right?Can people just STFU about the manga, most of us are watching the anime and judging it off that. Not whatever you read way back when with some grandiose imagination of what it could/should have been. All in all, anime is on a pretty weak path so far. Both are VISUAL media. There’s no imagination. Everything has been drawn. |

| Decent, feels like the Adults are just toying with them at this point cause they know everything, but the kids can take advantage of the rift between the two adults I feel. |

We are just disappointed that there were little details on the manga that made the experience way better that is missing in the Anime. Most of the cut content wouldn't make any sense if they put it later anyway, so there's no way they are going to include it later. (Notice that I said most of it) |

| Sister Krone with that devious face scares me xD! I wonder who the traitor is and how they will escape. The mind games are real and Emma with the strategy of training everyone was good! |
 |
| DAMN!! Sister Krone so strong,how can they beat him? |

| Did anyone else notice at like 1:55 into the episode, there was this kid thot got absolutely nailed by a soccer ball 😂😂 |

| Sister Krone feels like she should be in one of those action movies with comedy of course. |
 |
| Another perfect intense episode! That adult maid is such a brute! Nice one Norman & Ray! she didn't catch the two! so Emma's weakness is naivete! since she's too attached with all other kids... the brute maid is on her side? defeinitely a blatant lie! Hard to guess who is the traitor, maybe the girl with big megane glasses? 5/5. |
 |
| Glasses Girl is an obvious falseflag. Besides, no other kids got any development except for the main trio. Emma cant be traitor, she is the protag, Norman is a crazy yandere judging from what he said and how he looked in 2nd episode. My bet on bookworm guy, since he has realistic view on their situation. Its better to survive alone than die wiith everyone, thats how survival instinct works. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
| Sister Krone looks less monstrous throughout the episode except for that horrifying shot when she found Emma. Aside from that one scene, she has a pretty comical and possibly even sisterly nature in here compared to the manga. They have the escape ropes ready, are training the kids to escape undetected, and found where the tracking devices are located. All that's left is to find out how to remove them, how to bypass both Krone and Isabella, and to find out how to bring the orphanage infants along with them up the ropes. |

| Sister Krone sure is creepy. That tag game was quite intense. |
 |
| Sister Krone is so goddamn creepy. |
 |
| I love how hammy Krone is. |
 |
| That woman is totally whack. She is bad news. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
Very nice writing when you can introduce the mature concept of a traitor into a children's environment. Totally taken with this anime so far. |
