The Best Anime of February 2019
The Promised Neverland
A series that continues to gain attention and praise with each new episode, The Promised Neverland is easily one of the best series to come out of this season.
Set on a secluded farm in the countryside, the series sees the child prodigies Emma, Norman, and Ray try to escape their home alongside their adopted siblings after learning its true, dark purposes.
To do that, however, they’ll need to outwit their mother, a task they soon realize will be no easy task. From enlisting spies to embedding them with tracking devices, there’s no end to the methods she’ll use to keep them around and eventually eliminate them.
To that end, the three must use whatever resources they can find to stage their escape. They’ll do whatever it takes to get themselves and their family to safety, and when all is said and done, they might just have to.
Nailing a special blend of tension, terror and mystery that few other series can boast, The Promised Neverland keeps you on your toes at every moment.
It has no shortage of twists to blindside you with, and considering the wealth of content it still has to work with thanks to its source material manga, there’s no doubt it’ll be a series to get in on sooner rather than later.
