Not gonna lie... The Promised Neverland had so much potential in it but unfortunately it didn't go to the extent of excavating it's full strength.
The plot was good wherein some children, who are orphans, living a peaceful life get to know their fate. Will they be able to change their fate??
Spoilers maybe ahead....

With the knowledge that they are prey for demons Emma, Norman and Ray start their journey to escape their fate.
The characters are all good but what annoys me the most is Emma's character. It is Emma who makes this whole manga not worth its story. It is Emma due to which this ... manga is Shounen. Her mere senseless points and unrealistic kind and goody nature is what stops the development of the manga as a dark-themed one. Somehow it seems so funny to think that these characters know what sacrifice means. The writer has failed in his attempt to show that how the 11-year or 12-year old ones know what true revenge means. Contrary to the MC's I feel Phil's character is really well written and it surely makes an impact.

Honestly speaking the first 100 chapters hook me in and what spoiled all was Emma saying " I want to save the Royal Family ", just because they were living beings too, which is an absurd statement for someone who had killed other demons for her safety.. I'm saying that this statement is not right on Emma and it would be right if someone like Naruto would make this statement (I'm not comparing).

Even though, the plot hooks you in and the story is really something different.

But I truly loved characters like Lewis and Sonju, who know what they are doing and their character development is what I say the best in this series.

At last if you really want somewhat dark-themed plot with childish things and unrealistic hypocritical morals but a nice story with some awesome dialogs and good twists then do check out this manga.

Domestic Girlfriend was my first romance anime, and not gonna lie, it really brought me into romance genre. The story is about Natsuo Fuji who has a crush on his teacher Hina. One day, in a mixer, he meets Rui Tachibana who asks him to ber her 1st ''it's'' partner. She asked so as she wanted to experience ''it' and not out of love and Natsuo agrees. After this awkward incident Natsuo reaches home where his widowed father tells Natsuo about his GF whom he has been dating. Natsuo's father asks Natsuo's permission for marriage and Natsuo agrees. So his father calls his gf over ... for dinner. Unfortunately Natsuo's gonna-be step-mother has 2 daughters, who're Hina and Rui. Then the anime revolves around the awkward relationship among the 3 step-siblings.

Spoilers maybe ahead....


The story is good overall. The development of characters is done very precisely not leaving out major things. The concepts of love, age gap, lies, heartbreak.

I personally feel that Natsuo is a scum who just cannot understand what love is.
I really feel bad for Rui at this stage.
Major disappointment is that the manga was not adapted as it is, which in turn lead this anime to be a dumpster fire.... but it calls you and you can't resist but watch it.

Overall this is a good Anime

Death of a close friend is very painful, and when they die just after you quarrel with them then it's too excruciating. Yes, this is the story of Yadomi Jinta(Jintan), who fought with his childhood friend Honma Meiko(Menma) and in that commotion she lost her life.
Years later Jinta, now in high school, starts to see Menma again. She tells that she cannot leave the world unless her last wish isn't fulfilled.
Then this story revolves around how Jintan tries to figure out Menma's wish, how he reunites with his other childhood friends and how they together fulfill Menma's last wish. The anime also explores the feelings ... of each character, including romantic ones.

The story is well written, giving importance to each character. The anime explains in a beautiful way to accept our mistakes rather than blaming it on others.

Yukiatsu and Menma's mother could never accept Menma's death and the anime shows how our emotions tend to make us unstable and not accept the truth.
Anaru's character is an epitome of people who're easily influenced by others, which can be wrong sometimes.
Jintan is a perfect example for coolness( Man, he skipped school almost everyday). Jintan is a perfect epitome of human beings; doing things first then reflecting on it. But his character also strives to not forget his mistake and rather correct it when life permits.
Poppo's character is the definition of freedom. He travels around the world. living a carefree life. But his biggest regret is that he couldn't save his friends- Menma from dying and Jintan from taking the wrong route in life.
Tsuruko is just a logical character who tells us to be more rational and not depend on feelings alone. But her character develops in such a way that she realizes even feelings sometimes are more important than logic.

Overall this is a fun-emotion-sadness filled anime which is bound to make you cry. Even though first 5 episodes may be slow paced but it's worth watching.

My review is completely my opinion.
I think that the ending of the anime was really good. Kazama and Asuka, in my perspective, were 3rd persons in between Haruto and Yuzuki. And here I'm not denying the fact that Kazama and Asuka loved Yuzuki and Haruto respectively. I've not read the manga, so my review is purely based on the anime.

Story:
This anime has one of the most wonderful love stories ever. It shows that love is stronger than any type of friendship. When a friend challenges ill friend for his former girlfriend, that's really unbelievable. Actually if it was me, I would let him have ... her and accept that he has won her. The end of the storyline was wonderful, but I was hoping they would show Asuka in the end with someone who loved her dearly.

Art:
Nothing in particular but it was ok.

Sound:
Everything was beautiful and very apt to the characters.

Characters:
Lead characters-
I think they were made for each other. I don't feel like Haruto and Asuka would've been a wonderful couple.
About Supporting characters- None of them had his/her own storyline here. Some animes also show stories and loves of supporting characters, but here no one was given a particular past. But they did a great job as side characters.

Overall:
I am very happy that I've watched this anime and I don't hate it as some do.
But I feel it's adaptation could have been much much much better.
