Should i watch the promised neverland

Well, no, absolutely not. What you should do is read The Promised Neverland.

#The anime is like... Super bad. #And I'm not talking about “they ruined the most iconic panel of the entire manga :(( ” kind of bad– #I'm talking about “we're going to throw straight to the trash 100+ chapters of the manga and change both the events and characters– #so fundamentally that they'll be unrecognizable from their original to the point of completely losing the story's core themes and message” #kind of bad #Honestly if you plan on watching it alone / you can't read the manga for whatever reason– #I'd rather you not watch it at all because I don't want people to think I've recommended them something like /that/ #people asks me stuff #All this talking about tpn made me reread the first chapter and actually I wasn't wrong that's the best story ever

[celestialtitania]

okay i just CANNOT get over the fact on how much kuroshitsuji's current arc is reminding me of the beginning of the promised neverland. orphanage, check. being WeirdTM about being "adopted" and then not being able to remain in contact, check, and to top it off, they gave the kid mistletoe? triple check as far as im concerned. even without the ending with them cornering finny, which makes it clear that some of the other kids are in the know about ginny not being actually adopted.

now im just wondering where they're keeping the kids. in the other 2 places, blood collection happened in the same place, but it didn't seem like any of the orphanage was off limits to the staff.

and furthermore, if they're just there for blood collection, why bother with the classes? especially feeding some sugar and keeping them from going outside? clearly, they're doing more with these kids than raising them as cattle to the slaughter. the question is what?

[hylialeia]

the promised neverland is just like. at its core it’s about community. alone you might survive but you can only live with others. everyone is part of a larger body. when you lose someone you’ve lost a part of yourself and you can only heal with the help of others, you can only fill that empty space with more love and companionship or you’ll simply rot away and fester (Yuugo slowly going insane for years and years, free from the physical demons but not his personal ones until he finally has a family to care for again). that’s why the demon queen is a glutton who feasts on human after human, more than she could ever possibly need; because she’s cut off. empty. she isn’t part of the collective whole, she has no community, so she tries to fill herself up in the literal sense, consuming physical flesh that will never actually satiate her. and the rest of the demon society can only move on and heal when they’ve embraced this concept of the collective, when they begin relying on each other as the humans they’ve oppressed for so long have had to do (and so they’re finally saved not by the continued endorsement of death via the human farm systems, but by Mujika’s continued life, the presence of her still-flowing blood that the nobility once tried to eliminate). the whole point is that everyone is connected and beholden to each other, that the presence of hierarchies and class divides enables oppression. this is why Emma wants to save everyone; because there is no categorization of “worth saving” and “worth leaving”, there’s just them. and this means when you sacrifice yourself you sacrifice a part of your loved ones, even if it’s for their own good (adding an additional layer of grey morality and complexity to Ray, Norman, and Emma’s respective [attempted] sacrifices). the promised neverland is about community because it has to be, because that’s the antithesis to the capitalist structure it strives to critique. you cannot only serve one part of the body, you cannot cut parts of it off. that way lies madness.

ATINY/MOA/CARATS vs Made in Abyss was the last thing I expected and its hilarious

feel like I need to say something since twitter absolutely loves spreading misinfo and just accusing people of shit, how have you people not LEARNED your lesson yet? Since when is twitter such a trusted source, especially gossip accounts?

And before you braindead stans start calling me a d!ckrider, I promise you I do not care about these men cuz I've got better things to focus on and I'm making this because people are overreacting and it's getting annoying. It's so obvious 90% of you haven't watched the anime (and thats completely fine, I get you) and then ended up listening to someone who made stuff up and overexaggerated. I'm not here to defend the author because I hate him as much as you do and can absolutely recognize the dude is into some weird shit but saying people are ONLY interested in this series because of r@pe and p€dophilia is INSANE. So let me answer some questions as a Made an Abyss reader (not calling myself a fan because you'll catch me DEAD before you see me buying any merch or manga despite my love for the series), kpop fan second.

Does Made In Abyss contain p3d0ph1l1c themes, gore etc.?

There absolutely is because the author is a creep (refering to the nsfw however, most of the times it's very easily skippable. As someone who hates l0l1con cuz it creeps me out, I can tell you that I really didn't have a hard time skipping said scenes even in the manga which is far more explicit than the anime (Prushka asking about Bond's 'stick', Faputa looking into Regs pants, Vueko's weird comments) and sometimes, they're even added as extras (0.5 chapters) which certain sites that contain scans don't even include. I didn't even know about the existence about a few of these chapters BECAUSE they don't include them.

The OVA is a nightmare to watch and was not only unfunny but creepy as fuck especially when they try to boil down such an amazing character like Ozen into 'I like seeing little kids in pain'. Now I have no idea if this was made independently but I don't remember the author making any spin-offs that they could base this on so I can't tell you who wrote it but even then I doubt that the author minded it since the man himself had to include that Faputas behind smells like the 'Sun' so again, not here to defend him cuz he most definitely is a weirdo, no doubt about it.

Is Made in Abyss torture p*rn?

If MiA is torture p*rn then AoT is military propaganda and supports child labor, TPN is also torture p*rn, JJK promotes violence, Berserk excuses r*pe and Evangelion is also p*do bait. See how stupid that sounds? Just because an anime INCLUDES something, does not mean it necessarily supports it. Yes, r*pe is mentioned but it's not even SHOWN, and it's a cruical part of a characters backstory. The torture that happens, happens only once if we exclude Riko's 'experiment' at the very beginning of the manga. And Mitty's transformation can't even be classified as torture cuz it's a.... transformation. Prushka's death is very censored so its not like you can jack off to that anyways. Now the piss thing is something I have noticed but haven't really payed attention it because bffr why the hell would I so idk, maybe the author is trying to tell us something or the guy thinks pee pee poo poo funny🤷‍♀️.

Is there any plot besides the weird stuff?

See now this is the part that gets me most because the reason why a majority of people nowadays got into MiA in the first place is BECAUSE of the amazing plot. The world building, the mystery, the fight scenes, etc. It's amazingly drawn, nicely paced and unique in its own way. But of course, it's manga&anime and what's anime without fanservice? I already explained that in manga, said scenes can be easily skipped and the anime thankfully doesn't include a lot of these. I do have to admit thag I dropped the manga for now since the chapter where they were in a bath cuz it was another one of those 'here we go again' moments where it made me roll my eyes and just close the tab so I don't really know what's been happening recently and if things go weirder.

I'm also gonna tell you honestly that yes, the fandom is filled with sweaty dudebros itching to see these kids half naked and the author is aware of them and pondering to them because he too is one of them. But a large majority is back from when the anime originally came out and are mostly hiding on twitter so it's easy to avoid them and they've been pretty rare ever since people with actual interest in the series have begun watching it. A reason why back in the day I didn't wanna interact with the fandom at ALL was because the moment I tried to have a normal conversation about the plot and what might actually be going on, I instead get bombarded with "UWAAAA😭😭😭" and 'c*nny' comments. I also cannot defend and don't even plan on defending the fact that Faputa is pretty much naked the entire series. I get that she lives in the literal wilderness, but the very least you could do is put a cloth on her y'know. And mind you, I'm talking about the manga. The anime is a LOT more heavily censored, and from what I heard, even MORE censored in Korea.

To sum it up:

Do I think Mingi/Soobin/Woozi are p*dos cuz they watched the anime? Absolutely the fuck not. Considering Mingi is a big CSM fan, I can see why he watched Made in Abyss because I was in that same pipeline. I think some of you are going way too far with these comments, if you wanna call them weird, creepy, wanna unstan them for reading stuff like this go ahead, not gonna stop because in the end no one can but accusing people of crimes isn't funny and never will be. If they were exposed for watching shit like Kodomo no Jikan then that most definitely IS eyebrow raising. Maybe I'm slightly biased due to me only enjoying MiA for the plot so seeing people say the fans are p3d0s when the first time I watched this was when I was freshly 15.... yeah idk abt that one. Whether they liked the weird and questionable scenes, I have zero idea I'm just here to say that you can enjoy said anime without being a weirdo and you shouldn't begin jumping to conclusions and start calling people straight up criminals. If anyone wants to have a productive conversation and ask questions abt said anime cuz I doubt you're gonna go watch an anime over a Twitter drama, go ahead and ask. If you wanna insult me and call me a d!ckrider then go ahead and do that too, who am I to stop you?

After more than a year of work on this, @0hana0fubuki0 and I are finally able to present our translation of the Religion chapter featured in the TPN Western Literature Analysis book by Kei Toda!

Disclaimers: 

The translations aren't perfect and the wordings picked might not match the desired nuance of the author, as the main translator is not a native Japanese speaker. If there are things that are unsure by the translator, they will be addressed later at the bottom. 

From what I can remember, this book was published at least a few weeks/months before the Mystic Code fanbook and 3rd light novel got released (and based on Part 3, also possibly finished before the last few chapters of the manga were out), so certain observations written here may or may not have been made obsolete by any new information revealed in these specific sources.

Names and terms used within the series follow the Viz English translation, and mentions of the manga’s timeline are double-referenced with the fanbook. 

The ESV translation is used for the Bible verses mentioned in-text. 

Another thing to note is that Kei Toda is looking through this topic as a Western literature/culture scholar, and not necessarily as a theologian.

#Yakusoku no Neverland #The Promised Neverland #TPN Reference #Religion #Kei Toda #I'm now realizing the showing this off here in public might be the equivalent of a flash bomb given the topic #But my friend and I worked really hard to see and finish this project through to the end SO YOLO I GUESS #I had to do so research to make sure of certain parts of this translation for factual accuracy #This chapter was apparently written in 1st person in Japanese and I'm not even sure if that's the standard for this type of thing #I'm too used to seeing 3rd person but in scientific/health-related articles #Christianity #Judaism #Stonehenge

October 25th - Oliver’s Birthday

(with one Oliver from almost every chapter he appears in)

#the promised neverland #tpn manga #tpn oliver #oliver #my edits #i believe i finished this shortly after zack's? so i dont really remember if i consciously missed any chapter so the 'almost' is there #just in case as usual. enough of that though..this lad caught my attention immediately so much so that my friend knew id fangirl over #him the moment he was introduced (which turned out to be completely correct) because damn he's handsome. i gotta admit i prefer #the jacket he wears at GP better than the vest he gets at paradise. i know the jacket was destroyed after bayon's #attack but cmon..the kids couldve made him a new one like they did with gillian's outfit. ah well.. at least he kept red as his main color.

Human Experimentation or a Delicious Meal?

With Black Butler’s 203rd chapter release, we have more unsettling news for the F.O.L. Kids. I mentioned before that we still don’t know the full bane for the acronym but my suspicion is still leaning towards Funtom Orphanage Lab with the evidence from 203.

And once again our current arc through a sketchy orphanage is bringing up more similarities to another fave manga of mine of which I’ve talked about before: The Promised Neverland.

Continuing from the last post, which you can find here, there are more things that feel the same when compared to the TPN. Though chapter 200 was the start of this mini series, not even 3 chapters later in 203 we have MORE information to compare.

Bases of Operation

The bases of operation are so well hidden yet right under everyone’s nose. If it weren’t for Emma and Norman’s realization they were surrounded by a wall with a gate, or if Snake’s snakes didn’t come along to pick up a scent, they would still be well hidden and right under everyone’s nose. But these kids are smart, they know how to look and use the environments around them

Child Preservation (warning, graphic)

203 and the beginning of TPN aren’t fucking around when it comes to child preservation. When Conny was discovered and now in this case, Ginny, both were found in a not so happy place

However, with TPN we know these kids are being plucked to get eaten where as in 203 we still don’t know what is going on. Racks upon racks of human parts are being stored, for what? Are these parts being used to create dolls? Are they being used to replace parts in dolls that already exist-to expand their life force?

Clearly we’ll learn something in Finny’s upcoming backstory and how this method of extracting parts and pieces of young kids for experimentation. Maybe Finny was a rescued Doll experiment?

Mother Is Always Watching

The Maids/Mothers (Isabelle) always seem to know when the kiddos are afoot and in places they shouldn’t be. Maybe my own mother’s saying “I have eyes in the back of my head” are true in them knowing when exactly to show up. They runt he operation as puppets controlled by a higher power. You better watch out!

The Smart and Eldest Child is Next

Much like TPN when the younger dead child get’s found, the next one to go is the smartest, and eldest child. Like its their prime ripe season of child picking. After Conny’s discovery, Norman was to be “adopted” and in this case Theo is to be “fledged”.

The reason in TPN was because Isabelle knew Norman had information. In 203, if mother’s intuition is correct, they probably already suspect that Theo knows more than he should.

My suspicion in Theo’s case is that R!Ciel is starting to whither and needs parts his age to survive.

Hopefully 204 will give us more answers and maybe some more comparisons, but for now, theories are up in the air.

Media Issues "The Protagonist is Right!"

Now when I say The Protagonist is Right! I'm really referring to two different problems I see a lot of media, mainly series, tend to fall into. While both can show up at once, the two are usually separate. I'd also like to be clear I'm talking about media that agrees with their protagonist, not the protagonist is meant to be wrong and that's the point like Fight Club

I will be using two series I like to explain the two versions. The Promised Neverland & My Hero Academia (both manga, TPN finished, MHA up to chapter 411). I'll try to be vague but spoilers, this also means some oversimplifications be warned

TPN - The Protagonist is Right! because it's the right answer

On a math test this one forgot to show their work. The Protagonist has come to an answer most can see as right (either the audience and/ or the rest of the cast), how they got there however is either not shown, or not there to begin with.

After escaping Grace Field, Emma very quickly decides to be as pacifist as possible when it comes to the demons, along with those she escapes with. While she is briefly exposed to nonviolent & friendly demons, she also gets exposed to some of the most sadistic. Outside of it's technically possible, we don't see much of why Emma is to the point of protective over the demons

A few ways they could of better shown Emma's logic would be for her to see how average demons suffer in this system with no alternatives due to the government. Having her meet one of the every few humans she never met in the manga, who had a deep familial connection to a demon. Or even (at least partial) disbelief that genocide against the demons would work, even if just in the long term. To simplify: humanize the demons directly, have her influenced by another, belief that other methods wouldn't work. Combinations and other solutions are options but these ones were easy to express

While less effective for the audience she could have also argued her reasonings instead of just her final point. It is an option to reference things happening outside of what is directly shown to make things feel more real. It is also a particularly potent issue as after escaping the farm the story relies on Emma being around for almost anything to get done despite not previously having this issue

MHA - The Protagonist is Right! because they are the protagonist

This is where even if the work is shown (this one is more likely to take elements from the former) there is a large amount of evidence against the Protagonist's answer. This often comes from creators being unable to let their protagonists be wrong, and thus either be treated as wrong, or change perspective and/or goals etc

From the very start of the series MHA has had strong references to inequality, and issues in hero society. The protagonist Izuku Midoriya was originally a minority (quirkless) and we see that at the bare minimum he faces a lot of discrimination in his school for it, and implication that there is a lot of discrimination outside of it. Due to circumstances he gets a quirk and in no longer a minority, and the discrimination he faced is never addressed or brought up in any critical way again. It effects his ability to use his new quirk, but his outlook is never challenged by it

We see numerous types of discrimination, and corruption both directly from hero society and as a consequence of it as the series progresses. What we don't ever see is Midoriya, or anyone else the story frames as right, thinking anything needs to be done to the system. Most of the solutions we see him 'proving' that he is a good hero is doubling down and wish really hard, without ever changing anything of course.

A huge part of this issue comes from and is demonstrated by Endeavor. Who is guilty of child & spousal abuse and neglect, over getting second place in an ongoing contest, out of thousands. At the start he is shown completely in the wrong but once he starts his 'atonement' arc (it is treated like a full redemption more often than not) than it's like the narrative became allergic to calling him bad, constantly softening what he did, and glorifying his minimal improvements. This is seen in both the framing of the story on its own, as well as the other heroes, most of his family and hero students, that is including Midoriya, knowing full well what he's done. Those who do criticize him after his 'atonement' are framed as stubborn at best to outright wrong for it

In short we see reason after reason that the system isn't working. But we never see this reflected in the heroes we're supposed to be rooting for, not even a 'things need to change'. He keeps saying he wants to help but he and everyone else is unwilling to address the current issues as they are, or what led to them.

Honestly for the bsd ending allowing Dazai to live and be happy and finally and resolutely decide he wants to live will forever be a thousand times more powerful than any conclusion with him dying but maybe it's just me

#osamu dazai #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #Then bsd would have done in an entire manga what t/p/n managed to do in 37 chapters (and executed better in every way) #but it's okay not all manga get to be t/p/n #I think a lot about how one of tpn's main themes is “suicide is bad” opposite to how bsd openly romanticizes suicide #and I mean this in every worst possible way #03/06/22

Is CloverWorks entirely at fault for TPN S2's mangled production?

I see so many people default to blaming CloverWorks for being the sole arbiter of S2's horribly disappointing production (sometimes Shirai is added into the mix too, especially by anime-onlys), but every time I do I'm genuinely asking the question of whether that's true and where they're pulling their information from.

I'm not involved in the animation industry at all so I'm interested in receiving input from people who are more familiar with it, but my understanding is the people in charge of the decision to truncate S2 would be The Promised Neverland Committee listed at the end of the opening credits.

(I could not find a single video of the English dub that aired on [adult swim] for the English credits of S1, so a screencap from the Japanese credits)

TPN Committee is comprised of the following entities: Aniplex (Distributor), Fuji TV (TV Station), Shueisha (Manga Publisher), Cygames Anime Fund, Dentsu (ads)

(Sources 1 | 2 | 3)

kViN from Sakugabooru details what a production company is in this post:

"I personally find it enjoyable to see who is involved in a show, and as you’ve seen there is plenty of information to draw from that. Animation production studios are listed in the credits for each show, so it’s understandable why audiences would imagine they have a ton of influence over a production. It’s even natural to think that the company that is actually manufacturing something would have great input! If you start paying attention to these committees though, you get a clearer picture of the finances of production and how each show is actually made rather than assume that studios that often don’t have much of a say are in charge of everything."

And CloverWorks is the more prominent name, especially for English speakers watching the subbed version of the series.

This is also something that Geoff Thew brings up in the last seven minutes of this video around the 18:50 mark:

"I'd bet good money that the last credits were supposed to roll right after that big stone door slammed shut, and I'd further wager that a combination of fan reactions to and dipping ratings for early episodes is what caused the production committee—who are the ones who actually have final say in this, not Cloverworks or even Shirai—to cut their losses and turn that cliffhanger into a skeleton of a conclusion."

I disagree with him on them making the call to retool the series during the clipshow episode between S2e05 and S2e06 though. It doesn’t seem like they had enough time to do that when a single episode of animation takes on average nine months to complete, even with the ridiculous crunch they seemed to be in. My guess is it was made back in early 2020 after Shirai made everyone involved in production aware the manga was ending that year, with the pandemic potentially factoring in to a degree.

He also mentions this a bit earlier:

"It's just such a slap in face to anyone who ever gave a shit about any version of this story. Including the people telling it, apparently, since neither of the anime's screenwriters nor mangaka/series composer Shirai wanted to take credit for the last two episodes. They probably didn't have much say in how it all went down. That's important to keep in mind before you start yelling at animators or even studios on twitter. I guarantee that every adaption that hurts you personally was ten times harder on the people who actually had to make it. As hackishily slapdash as this finale is, a lot of people probably slept under their desks to get it out the door, if they slept at all."

I always come back to this tiny addition toward the end of S2 episode 2 as an indication that on the creative side of things, in storyboarding and animation at CloverWorks, the care was still there at some level.

It was just squashed down in order to cut and condense 146 chapters into 11 episodes for a production that, as ZersEditor puts here, was "bleeding money."

But CloverWorks is less to type out, so they get the majority of the ire over a tragically butchered production in casual conversation.
