TPN took off with a resounding bang, gracing its viewers with a boldy charming art style, well fleshed out characters (*chuckle*) and a strong plot. That said, let's delve into season 1 of the chaotic catastrophe that was The Promised Neverland.Ī spoiler alert is in effect for the rest of the article, so stop right here if you have plans to watch this show yourself! This week's article will review Season 1, but some light spoilers for Season 2 may also be present. The Promised Neverland has cemented itself as one of the biggest tragedies in anime (and we're not even talking about the plot yet) and even though it ended exactly one week ago, followers of the anime remain just as sour today and this is unlikely to change in the near future. In this exclusive two part review, we'll take you though a detailed walk of the plot of the anime and explain just how an anime with such a masterfully choreographed first season could go so bad, so fast. Unfortunately, the quality of the anime mimicked a parallel decline after the end of the first season, culminating in an ending so disastrously unfaithful to the overarching story that it has gone down as one of the worst anime adaptations of all time- worthy of first place on our 'Top 5 anime with Wasted Potential' list, had it ended sooner.

Although the series started off on a joyous and carefree note, this mood quickly took a turn for the worse before the end of the very first episode. The Promised Neverland was a horror, dark fantasy thriller which, across the course of two seasons, followed the story of 38 children raised in an orphanage surrounded by dense forestry and high walls.
