The Promised Neverland
overview
Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
reviews
i was not expecting it to be even close to this good. reveals and twists felt very earned and thought through, tension solid, personalities well-carved out. solid pacing too. after coming off a few duds this is an extremely refreshing watch. that being said, nothing about it terribly stuck out to me or will stick with me, it just has pretty solid fundamentals. and the real test for ability is what happens next when the story is not within the contained world with established rules. provisional score: 73?
