Though the moments surrounding these details seem small, they are the building blocks for the next plot arc from the original manga. Without going into spoilers, after the release of the third episode, fans started to notice very important clues from the manga that weren’t seen onscreen. Though they haven’t been far, there are small added scenes, details, and more importantly-detail exclusions. The second season, however, has already taken some leaps.

Though the team of writers for the anime doesn’t include original storyteller Kaiu Shirai, some of the lines are word for word, the plot taking little to no creative liberties from it’s source. That being said, the writing may arguably be closer. Artist Posuka Demizu’s style was fantastically matched for the screen, and the art of the adaptation directly mirrors the manga (beyond the addition of color). The first season of the show followed the manga to a near exact replica. (That being said, I’m extending a content warning because death and suicide applies to the series in its entirety.)

There is much meditation on the philosophies of this food chain that build into an anime that is thrilling, mysterious, and dark. The story then focuses on the kids as they try to plan an escape from the house. Soon, they realize Grace Field is a farm, and they are raised to be food for this race of demons-not sent to loving parents at all, but jaws.

When the three protagonists try to follow to see one of their siblings go to a foster home, they find her dead killed by a race of demons they didn’t know existed. They live in a house called Grace Field under the mysterious “mother” figure before they are shipped out to foster homes. If you aren’t familiar with the story of The Promised Neverland, the show focuses on three kids: Emma, Ray, and Norman, all orphans. As of the week of January 25 th, the anime has released its first two episodes on Hulu and Funimation. A few weeks ago, we were celebrating the release of the second season of The Promised Neverland, an anime adapted from a beloved manga that just recently concluded after twenty volumes and ofter one hundred chapters (though the final two haven’t been published in English yet).
