First season: absolutely thrilling and amazing concept. Definitely one of the best anime from 2019.

Second season: what where the writers thinking! They screwed it up. Such a downgrade from the first season, it's embarrassing. You really can just stop after you finish the first season. You're not missing out on anything.

Overall rating: 7.1.

I would put a 9/10 of it was only season 1 but the second season is god awful, stay as far away as possible.

I realize I might be jumping the gun a bit, calling it "brilliant" when only two episodes have been released so far, but so far its pretty great. I don't want to spoil anything, seeing as how this is a show where you definitely don't want to know what is going on beforehand, but I will say that it is pretty intense.

The animation is pretty amazing. I have seen very few other anime where the camera regularly moves around 2D environments like this. Its very impressively drawn.

Ok, season one is over now. This show is awesome and I look forward to season two coming out.

This show is already one of my favorites. The first season is more of a psychological thriller and the writers are patient in letting the plot develop. The main characters are very smart and cautious, and their opponents are equally as cunning, giving the first season of the show a similar "battle of the minds" vibe as Death Note. I am looking forward to future seasons, especially given how good the manga is.

For me, it kept me on the edge right from episode 1! I love the animation and how they're able to work around such a thrilling plot that will have you guessing what will happen next episode. This series is just awesome!

The story, the backgrounds, the characters, that plot twist at the start... The deepness of this story is touching. And the adaptation and animation are excellent. Congratulations, CloverWorks.

I don't ever write reviews for anything on here but I just finished the finale of S1 and I am blown away.

I cannot recommend this show enough, death note was the first anime I ever watched many years ago and since then I have been looking for a show that was just as smart as it. This is the show.

The plots are not similar in any means but the thought process, battle of the minds, and the way information and twists are revealed heavily reminded me of death note.

The Japanese voice acting is superb, any fans of Hunter x Hunter will instantly recognize the voice of Killua who voices Ray in this show.

If you need a new anime to watch, this is the one.

I saw the S1 and it was a great anime. And I saw the S2 and I realized how a masterpiece can reach the depths of the sewer . I consider that there is no S2.

But honestly, I didn't read the manga So the second season wasn't so bad to me. But the storyline has so many holes that it goes on as if it does not exist at all. There is not the slightest sign of the element of horror in the S2.

Great! Adventure and suspense in the right measure. Charismatic characters. A breath in the midst of so many low quality animes.

It was everything was amazing the story, the soundtrack, the characters.

The writer was quite creative he can change your impression about any character in one episode

S1 is a 10 S2 is a 4

Average is 7, since this website is adamant about not letting us rate seasons individually.

Most of the animes does not deserve to be entered in the Top 250 IMDB list, but this one deserves it and deservedly There are not many words to describe this anime, in terms of the drawing, the drawing is clear and beautiful and in terms of intelligence, I can say that it is similar to Death Note (you can see my list about the shows that resemble Death Note) and Neverland is one of them. The most important thing in the show is music and songs, and the best word to describe them is addiction, especially intro. The first 6 episodes were modest, but I advise you to watch it all at once, and with each episode, the anime will become more wonderful. The best episode is 11 with a rating of 9.6 and then the last. I hope that the second season maintains the distinction of the first season My rating is 9.4

The second season dropped significantly in quality. While every moment from season one seams to have a purpose leading to a big reveal, season two just wanders around aimlessly and is mostly cringy and unpleasant to watch. Season two is so much worse than the first one that it actually worsens the whole experience.

The first season was a horror slow based thriller, the second ended up being something of an extremely fast paced action that didn't even go off the manga. The only reason I'm rating this a five is because the first season was so good. The second season was a huge letdown that time skipped important scenes that would've shown character development and a more clear understanding of how the children where able to get to their final destination. Not worth the watch.

This anime packs a punch...just watched it by chance...characters are witty and story keeps u interested till the last episode.. waiting for the next season <3

What a series!

It's really awesome!

I recommend such a beautiful animation for whom love these types of mystery.

What happens when you mix the epic games of wits, strategies and dialogue from Death Note with the world building, violence and mystery of both Attack on Titan and Made in Abyss and then you add a bit of your own creativity to it? Well you get The Promised Neverland. Now, I am not trying to say this show is a copy of the other three I previously mention, is just that this show takes all these elements and mix them to create a very original and brilliant show.

Because this show has so many twists (even the main plot is a plotwist itself) I will focus very little on the plot. This show is about a bunch of kids living in an orphanage, they have live there for their entire life, knowing nothing about the rest of the world and the only adult they have ever seen is the woman that takes care of them which they call Mom. The story focus one the three older kids in the orphanage called Emma, Ray and Norman who after discovering the true about their home are forced to take action. I gotta say that this three kids are one of the best team of characters I have ever seen in any anime. All three kid are incredible smart but Emma is the one who's definitely less intelligent than there other two but what she lacks in intelligence she has in heart, guts and determination. Ray is the more objective but also the most manipulative and cunning of the three while also been extremely smart. Norman could be consider the smartest of all the kids but he also cares deeply for all the children, especially for Emma and Ray. There are also some other kids who are very solid characters but the main three kids have a way better character development. Speaking of great characters, both Mom and another character introduce latter called Sister Krone are also really damm good. Is because of the variety of characters that sometimes we can watch some genius plans like in Death Note, other times we get mystery and world building and other times we gruesome and nightmare fuel scenes like in Attack on Titan or Made in Abyss.

The art and animation in this show is beautiful, not the best in the industry but is still pretty damm solid. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible because is perfect for every different type of scenes that we can watch in this show.

Overall, this show was amazing, it did cut some parts of the manga (the inner thoughts and monologues of the characters been one of those things) which still leave the manga as the superior version of the story but I believe this anime was still a very successful adaptation. I can't wait for 2020 to watch season 2! Update: DON'T watch season 2, it awful, watch season one and then read the manga.

I began watching this with great expectations that were quickly surpassed by an incredible adaptation that combines great voice acting, suspense, top-notch animation and certain psychological thriller elements to tell its amazing story.

This is surely one of the best Anime of 2019

This is one of the most interesting anime's i've seen on the dark side since Monster and Death Note. I don't know where to start. Just extremely amazing. This would be a very good live movie. I'm waiting for new episodes. This is mouth watering mysterious, dramatic and suspensful. Gosh i'm glad i was bored and clicked on it.

S1 was outstanding! And the first 3 episodes of S2 are great, but after episode 4 wtf happened. I didn't even read the manga, yet I'm still disappointed. For me the series was too rush and it could have been better. The last time I was this disappointed was S8 of GoT. I guess I'm gonna read the manga to fill the void the series left me with, because it looks like the series won't have another season.

Set in the year 2045, this anime is centred on Emma, Norman and Ray; three children living in Grace Field House, an orphanage. Here they are looked after by a caring 'mother' who provides them with their needs. They wait to be adopted by a loving family; the latest this ever happens is their twelfth birthday. The only rule is that they may not leave the grounds until they are adopted. Everything is great for them until one day they learn a terrible truth; after that they work to find a way to escape along with the other orphans.

This anime series is distinctly bleak... the revelation at the end of the first episode is one of the biggest shocks in any series I've watched and once revealed effects every moment to come. The characters are impressive; not just the likeable children but also characters who initially appear good but are in fact anything but. Despite little real violence there is a real air of menace and futility. The creators have given the series a great look which makes it stand out from most other series; the characters are distinctive and the backgrounds beautifully rendered. Overall I'd say this is a must see; I can't wait for season two.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

I honestly think its the best series ever been created for a long time, I couldnt help myself but stopped at the 4th episode and moved onto the manga already like guys, its so amazing!

This is totally like Peter Pan but on a totally different darker level!

Seriously lads, go watch the anime or read the manga, you are missing out a great series if you haven't checked it out already!
