| WTF WAS THAT????? |
| Well that turn into something horrifying real fast..... |
 |
| damn, the art and animation look nice. When they were walking to the gate I was literally getting goosebumps, and when they saw those monsters their faces were so amazingly animated. |
| Oh I wasn't expecting an early release. I've read the first few chapters of the manga so I knew what to expect from this episode, and I like the adaptation so far. I think the show captured the feeling of dread pretty well, so I hope the rest of the show continues like this. I need to get back into the manga now. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Judging by majority reaction they've done good job with this episode. I think so too. I really liked the soundtrack and facial expressions. I didn't have high expectations for visual quality, but it turned out rather good. Hopefully it doesn't drop much as it progesses. |
| That was absolutely phenomenal. I am not a manga reader, so everything is new to me. It's giving me heavy Made In Abyss vibes, which I love. I can't wait for more next week! |

| I thought mob gave me the best eposode in thia years but damn this is totally betyer ! Great ost, perfect direction, also like the V.A works. Well done Cloverworks |

ruru-- said: Man what a ride. So far this is already one of my favorite anime of the season. Poor Conny ): the last scene with the mom looking at Conny's rabbit doll made me jump lol. I know this scene since I read the manga but damn I actually still have the same reaction like you. Perfect direction . |
|
| Solid 5/5 episode. I did notice some minor animation mistakes though, like choppy framerate and at the start of the episode Ray was on the wrong side of the gate. Confused me a little until I figured he was just on the wrong layer (I think). Other than that, enjoyed it a lot despite being spoiled beforehand. |
| The moment I saw Conny I thought "Oh, she's gonna die," but I did not expect it to be in the first episode. :D Having read the previous MAL synopsis, I was expecting to see a slaughterhouse with a butchery assembly line, like this scene from Cloud Atlas (Cloud Atlas spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1bdmaAwj3c |
| Man, that was a pretty good episode. I came into this blind and although I suspected what was happening, the way it was presented was pretty surprising. That ending with the Mama and the plushie was brutal. |

| I don't like the (human) character design, it looks ugly and just not right. Other than this, it looks pretty interesting and definitely worth my time. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Too many flags lol. It was fun but the way they showed how happy everyone was and now much they loved each other made it way too obvious something very bad was gonna happen. Focus on the Gate and "you really love momma" made it obvious she was involved and they'd need to leave. Conny's smile made it too obvious she was gonna die. I hope future episodes have less "flags" like this. Was enjoyable still and it's interesting but spelling things out so obviously will get dull quick. Other than that, the execution was solid. The OST is great. The OP by Uverworld is fantastic. The ending by Cö shu Nie was awesome. Animation is top notch. Compression is still far worse than it should be but that's just the state of streaming right now, sadly. Dark scenes really suffer but it wasn't as bad as other shows like Boogiepop. |

| The build up was done pretty well, the music started getting darker and darker and feel and bad aura building up and damn those creatures were ugly reminded of the one eyed owl from TG. R.I.P Conny I feel so bad for you girl. |

Sephyros said: Voice acting is terrible, the annoying voice fits emma but ray one is disgusting that's terrible I would like to think that you are saying that the voice doesn't match the character, and not that Miss Mariya Ise's voice is "disgusting" |
When I saw her smile in that scene I was sure that it was a clear deathflag, and everyone and their moms knew it XD |
| Great episode, they adapt it faithfully. And that thing is not CG. Creepy OST and nice animation. Looking forward next. Nice OP and ED. |
 |
| Very happy with the first episode |
| OH MY F**KING GOD!!! This is so great.. I usually don't go with all the hype train but this is so good. After Dororo we have now this.. 2 great creepy, dark anime.. This winter season will be so great.. SAO will also go in the dark side soon so this season will be better and better |

felipeliborio said: Yay! Can't wait to see A1 Pi... I mean Cloverworks... Ruining another promising show. First episode was bad, but the story clearly has potential and looks interesting. It was just A1nized. I'm dropping this shit and going to read the manga. What does "A1nized" even mean? Akerakai said: Waiting for the "omg what with the high score" thread Same. |
| I knew Conny wasn't going to make it, but, holy shit, that was horrifying. The ending when the music cuts to suddenly show Mama with the plushie and that psycho face was scary as heck. Wonder how they are all going to escape from the farm, considering all the little kids they have to carry. I'm very interested to see how this is going to go. So far, hooked with this. OP and ED were pretty good. So far the ones I'm liking the most this Winter. |
 |
| Going in blind, but this was a pretty great start. Didn't really know what to expect, besides dark stuff was going to happen. Yet I had no idea it was gonna be this soon. Rip Conny :( That looked pretty horrific. I have many questions but I like being left in the dark for a while.. I am looking forward to it when things eventually get explained. |
 |
| Well, that was shocking to say the least. Anime only but holy shit, that's what people were hyping up. The animation and art skyrocketed, music was on point, the reactions to seeing the disaster unfold, pure nightmare fuel. Whew, that was fantastic. |
| So, this have a high score because of the ending and most people forgot about the 15 minutes of kids playing... smh. It wasn't bad bot it was boring most of the time, at least this episode. |
 |
| The dialogue was pretty expositiony, but it looks pretty good so far, also I had totally forgotten how scary mom can be. But they make it way to obvious what's up from the get go. |
| Holy shit, I couldn't have asked for a better execution of the start of the story, the animation, style, directing, the faces of Emma and Norman in terror after discovering the truth of what is their life for, everything was outstanding, really well done. I was shivering so hard after the reveal of their situation and I didn't stop until the end of the episode. |
 |
| Excellent adaptation! I also love the OP and ED. They keep up this quality and this will be my favorite anime of the season. |
| Some of the expository dialogue was awkward, with the kids talking seriously to each other about their skills and strategies. It felt too, I don't know, mechanical; but it was a solid start! It was also weird to see that bunny in the dining hall when the girl had it with her when she said goodbye, but I guess it was their "mom" who put it there, and it will be the reason why she will realize that at least one of the kids found out the truth about that place. There is no way they are all going to believe and/or survive, but I have many questions, and I'm interested! |
 |
| The PV's and CM's that I saw of this show gave me a vibe that something dark was lurking beyond the boundary of the orphanage. Despite that in mind, The Promised Neverland easily succeeded in giving me a jumpscare not once, but twice in the same episode. Hoooooooly shit! X_X The art style is certainly unique and the animation was very well done from CloverWorks, mostly down to capturing the heavy expressions coming from Emma and Norman after discovering what truly happened to poor Conny after she left the orphanage, Poor girl. T_T I'm not going to have a good sleep tonight now thanks to this impressive first episode. This is certainly a show that'll have my upmost attention throughout its airing run. =) |
| I'm actually very excited for this anime, but I got a little divided this episode. I don't know why, but for me, it was pretty obvious that all the "going to get adopted" was more like "going to get killed", because of where they are (stuck in a house, where they practice their intelligence, waiting to be "adopted"), and also because of all the hints they gave earlier in the episodes (such as the "adopted" kids not writting for the kids still in the "House"), maybe hearing that they would discover something that would make them want to leave (as said in the synopsis) spoiled for me a little the suprise (I also watched a movie with a similar concept, that maybe helped to), however, I do think the anime made it very predictable. The scene were they showed Connie dead was way too obvious, so it didn't affected me as much (I prepared myself since they said that she was going to be adopted, so), but that scene did make me feel really thrilled, and the "Monsters Scene" was just the cherry on the top. On the other hand, I was not expecting that they would be killed to be eaten by some monsters, and that they were in some kind of "human farm". I was very suprised for that (the last shot of Mama also scared me xD). Nonetheless, the anime did a very good work with the suspanse, the terror elements, and the character development. The animation and the soundtrack were gorgeous, the ED was really on point for the anime, but I don't think that the OP is very well suited for this kind of anime (it looked like some action/adventure anime), but we'll see. It's a 5/5 for me, since I'm really interested in the plot. Btw, the anime made me think that Ray might have suspected that the "House" wasn't a place where everyone could be happy, as Emma stated, but instead a really tragic place. Excited for the next episodes! |
felipeliborio said: it didn't do that and you just wanna hate on A1 but you don't know howIt means that A1 spiked it's dirty, stinky and greedy claws on it and made it a generic, "please them all", unappealing and boring piece of crap. With the only objective of having a popular show and assuring some easy money. |

| This was unexpectedly intense, I signed up for a wholesome orphanage centered Anime, and it turned out darker than most shows I've seen, I love it. I feel that the production value and the direction of the first episode are just top notches, I might just be watching the show of the year. I like how well this episode was directed, speaking of the camera cinematography with all the angels being on a low level, imitating a the perspective of a kid, it makes the world surrounding them much bigger and intimidating. This game of tag they are starting might just get very twisted, they did mention how their “mama” has always beaten them in chess and not once have they come close to beating her, that might just make this game a lot challenging to them, I'd like to see who it turns out. The characters seem to have a lot of flesh (backstory) on them, I'm interested in their original, and what exactly puts the main trio above everybody else. |
| I was scared that it wouldn't live up to the manga but I am pleasantly surprised! This episode was great! They adapted the manga perfectly and even added a few extra scenes which were great! That mom jumpscare really got me. |
 Best anime dance ever fight me |
| Aaaaaahhh that was so good and so horrible and afklahgieq. Depending to where this goes it'd just might become one of my favorite animes ever. This first episode had the best direction I remember from any show. |
