Mar 28, 2019 HaXXspetten Recommended I will admit that I'm generally not a very big fan of shounens, but Yakusoku no Neverland is in my opinion without a doubt the best thing to have ever spawned from Weekly Shounen Jump. Then again it needs to be said that it is not very similar to most other things from the same magazine. It's been literally years since I felt the need to give out any 10s to an anime TV-series, but in the case of Neverland I knew from the start that as long as they don't mess it up, it would be worthy of it for sure. The first arc of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 28, 2019 Snapshot426 Recommended *SPOILER WARNING. I WILL BE SPOILING THE FIRST EPISODE OF THIS SHOW. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GO IN BLIND TO GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THIS SHOW IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED IT ALREADY* Well this was unexpected. A horror anime getting a lot of attention and praise by viewing public? This is truly a rare sight indeed. But seriously, the hype for this series before airing and its first couple of episodes was reaching really high levels and talked about a lot by the anime community. But the question is, how does this anime hold up with the horror greats of anime, can it ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 28, 2019 Karhu Not Recommended Yakusoku no Neverland is the biggest disappointment of the year so far. Not so much because it was so exceptionally bad, but because it had potential to be outstandingly great. What looked like a prime example of well-build thriller and highly atmospheric mystery end up being just a bunch of empty promises. Perhaps the English title, 'Promised Neverland' is actually a self-parody since following the series was an experience far from magical. At least one thing the series foreshows, I guess. The first 4 episodes are all passable, of highly respectable quality to be exact. I was impressed by how it managed to gasp my ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 29, 2019 Gamer651 Recommended Yakusoku no Neverland is a great anime. Despite of it's short comings and endless possibilities of being better it's still a great piece of work I say is better than most of its counterparts. Story: 10/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 31, 2019 Syureria Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Have you ever thought about escape? The Promised Neverland starts with Emma, a happy lucky girl who spends her days in pure happiness along with all the other orphans. All the children there enjoy their daily activities that are not as burdensome as playing, eating delicious food, and taking extensive tests with full focus ... but wait. This is when you realize that this is not an ordinary orphanage, but the children who grew up there completely forgot about it. It was only after Emma witnessed the terrible truth about the purpose of the orphanage surrounded by walls that she and several other orphans began to ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 28, 2019 HellLyter Recommended Horror is a genre that I rarely see effectively executed in anime. In fact, the genre itself seems to be pretty scarce in the anime medium. The first episode of The Promised Neverland perfectly encapsulates how to properly utilize horror. The atmosphere is great. We’re presented with a seemingly happy orphanage life being lived out by the characters, all children, and their “mama.” Yet as the viewer, it becomes apparent that everything's not quite what it seems, and there’s just this sort of unnerving tension in the air. The presentation is also top notch. Visuals and music are handled expertly and are very complementary to ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 31, 2019 forster82 Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Damn... Its been quite a long time since Ive given an anime a solid 10/10. I really want to critisize Yakusoku no Neverland but its just way too damn perfect! This anime actually nailed absolutly everything! There is just no other way to put it... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 31, 2019 cateypillar Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) The Promised Neverland is one of the most hauntingly brilliant anime I’ve seen in the last decade, and it definitely deserves the hype it’s receiving at the moment. Horror is a genre that anime has always struggled with, as when you try to mash conventional horror tropes such as gore and disturbing imagery with eyes that take up half of a character's head, it usually isn’t horrific in the slightest bit. Because of this, horror in anime commonly strays away from the horror conventions of horror films in the western world, and instead revolves around psychological horror. This is the approach that The Promised Neverland has ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 31, 2019 saiyan_junio Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Apart from Dororo, this is my anime of the season! It's a flawed masterpiece and has earned a 9 from every single category I judge an anime on which is both a great thing but shows that it could've been executed slightly better overall and been a true masterpiece! Art/Sound: Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 28, 2019 Stark700 Recommended Let’s think for a minute on how fragile human lives is. We can die by so many different ways that it’s frightening to think about. Immortality is a far cry from a reality. In a desolate world where kids realize that their entire lives has been prepared for death, it feels like a living in a nightmare. To live in fear is also frightening to think about. Don’t believe me? Just ask Emma, Ray, and Norman. Welcome to The Promised Neverland (Yakusoku no Neverland), a series that managed to make a new breed of itself among the popular Jump manga family. Consisting of 12 episodes, it’s ...

Mar 28, 2019 SingleH Recommended The answer to this question is totally in the eye of the beholder, but in your eyes, what would you say makes a good concept? While some prefer thematic depth, others emotional poignancy, and others sheer creativity, I am of the belief a concept can only be proportionally valuable to its execution. An ingenious conceit can bog itself down an infinite number of ways in scripting, just as a stock setup can write its way to a masterpiece. The Promised Neverland is a show which constantly toes the line between squandering and strengthening its unique and exciting concept which, in the right hands, could’ve easily ...

Jan 31, 2019 Antimeta Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) SPOILER FREE “Na na na na na na na na na na” Man oh man am I excited to get into this. I remember when the manga started publication and I doubted it would last so I never got around to reading it. 3 years later it gets an anime so I had to finally check it out. Boy am i glad i did. Before I get down to business, I think it is worth mentioning that by episode 3 I was so interested that I HAVE now read the manga and am up to date - however this is a review for the anime, not the series ...

Jan 31, 2019 Demarcation Mixed Feelings Preliminary (4/12 eps) This review will contain some spoilers and I'll mark them. Yakusoku no Neverland takes the classic notion of limited survival space, in which our three protagonists play mind games and tactics with “mom”, and tried to escape after discovering the orphanage they lived is only a farm to raise kids to be sacrificed to demons. Similar to AoT, this “limited survival space” set up let you constantly question: What is outside of the house? Is it a demon society? Why does mom obey demons? Therefore you will never feel bored during the show with this set up that left much to be explored and the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 29, 2019 literaturenerd Recommended Overview: "Don't get on that ship! To Serve Man...IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!" Promised Neverland is basically this season's Made in Abyss and it is HYPED. Do I think it's currently a tad overrated? Absolutely. However, I stopped giving knee-jerk bad scores to decent series just because they're currently rated too high. The rating will naturally balance out and if not, I kind of stopped taking MAL's ratings seriously a while ago. Promised Neverland is a mixed bag, but I honestly had a lot of fun with this one. Background: (Spoilers) 1,000 years ago, demons and humans fought for control of an alternate Earth. The 2 sides came to a stand ... Read more Open Gift Report

Feb 4, 2019 Jactumn Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) As a manga reader, I know this anime will do well (story wise) because it is one of the unique shonen jump story I have ever read for a long time (along with Dr Stone). This anime adaption does justice for the manga. However, it does have its pros and cons. The Good 2. Good moments that only manga can do but they can do it well in the anime Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 2, 2019 Chocobabe Not Recommended /spoilers/ I'll start with the art, which was absolutely dreadful. A complete mess with cheap looking backgrounds and characters, weird designs and overall being generic as fuck when it's not being outright terrible. The colour pallette is horrendous, the characters look weird with their long chins, and the background is bland at best. The expressions the characters make tend to be awful and distracting during the horror scenes and the reveals, with me just outright bursting into laughter at Isabella's face when she hears Ray hum a song back in episode 12. The demons or monsters thingies are nothing new in terms of character designs and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 1, 2019 Crikital_Hit Not Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) Once you will see the list of producers, you'll understand. The story is simple but interesting, Kids are set in a location they must escape at all cost, the conflicts are predictable(Should we save all the children or leave them behind? etc.) but the dialogue is interesting, and shows how serious the children are and that they aren't just pushover goody two shoes, except for Emma obviously. The anime however leaves out important parts of the dialogue. Little bits and pieces that make us question where their morals really lie, especially for Norman. A kid who would do anything to save Emma, even if it meant ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
