Impressions

Thanasis

What a great premiere for Yakusoku no Neverland. It has an interesting premise confined in the closed boundaries of an orphanage that isn’t what it seems to be. I don’t want to spoil the best part of the episode for you, so I am recommending you see it for yourselves. The first episode had great directing and amazing facial animation that brought the essence of each scene to the forefront. Expect a game of tag between the children and those who threaten their very existence.
