TV Review: “The Promised Neverland”

Anyone looking for a thrilling new anime to watch? If you haven’t yet heard, I would suggest watching The Promised Neverland.

The Promised Neverland is a rising anime that came out in America just a few months ago. The anime has also been confirmed to have a second season in the works for the year 2020. 

The anime, however, is just an adaption of the manga version that came out a good few years before and is completed.

 The Promised Neverland plot is about an orphanage of 38 young children ranging from babies to age 12 as the oldest. 

They all live together in peaceful harmony with the head of the house whom they call “mom.” 

Little do they know that the so-called orphanage is actually a farm meant to produce humans so that they can be eaten by demons. 

The three main characters Emma, Norman and Ray become aware of their fate and begin making plans to escape their gory demise along with the other children as per Emma’s request. 

Each character has their own unique strengths and weaknesses making for an interesting story to see how each person reacts to different situations. 

The most amazing part of the show, though, is the many twists and turns that are present within it that keep you begging for more.

Emma is the most kind-hearted and charismatic character of the small group. She is also the most athletic. 

Norman, on the other hand, is known to be less physically fit, but makes up for it greatly with his superior smarts. 

Lastly, there’s Ray, an intellect and the only orphan who can match Norman’s intelligence. 

Though he acts distant and aloof, he truly does care for Emma, Norman and the other children. 

The anime is adventurous, thrilling and overall pretty amazing to see them through their struggle to outwit the adults and get out before any more of their friends are taken.
