5 Facts about The Promised Neverland

The five-digit ID code you see tattooed on the children’s necks are used by demons to identify their livestock similar to cow tags on a farm.

Emma’s horoscope is Leo which suits well to her character for being sociable and confident. Also, green eyes are often associated as born leaders and intelligent which Emma exemplifies.

The three main voice actors of the show are also known for their other works such as Nina from Rage of Bahamut as Emma, Hiyori from Noragami as Norman and Killua from Hunter x Hunter as Ray.

The Promised Neverland and Dr Stone were the two manga who came out from nowhere and climbed the top of the magazine ranking in less than a year.

If you’re wondering what was the meaning of the six-digit number at the beginning of the show, it’s actually the calendar date of the current episode.

The Missing Element Of The Promised Neverland: Anime Review

After watching 3 episodes I’m kinda disappointed with the direction of the anime adaptation. One important element to why the manga was so great was because of its internal monologues. At its very core, The Promised Neverland is about the battle of wits between the children and their mother. How they try to outsmart each other to achieve their goals. And the inner monologue plays a big part in the manga, which the anime seems to be missing. Don’t get me wrong. The anime adaptation is okay. Although I wish they didn’t rush through the story, I think they’ve done a good job weaving four to five chapters into a single episode. My main concern is whenever you choose plot over character development, 9 out of 10 the show would turn out okay at best. It’s still entertaining as it is, but it could have been 10 times better if only they took their time building the characters and had a good mix of the right elements.
