The place they called home isn’t really an orphanage: it’s a farm.Įmma and Norman run and return to the orphanage before Isabella. Worse of all, Isabella knows of this, and makes sure children are always shipped upon request. What they see beyond the gate changes their lives forever: Connie has been murdered by demons, who are going to ship her body to be eaten. But Emma and Norman see that Connie has forgotten to take her stuffed bunny and run to give it to her before she’s gone. Isabella takes her out from a gate which the children aren’t supposed to approach. This saddens Emma, who never wants her life to change.īut things do change suddenly and traumatically when Connie, a 6-year-old girl, finds out it’s her turn to be adopted.
Strangely, none of the children ever write to their foster siblings who are still in the orphanage.
Every two months, one child is taken away to be adopted. There is a mysterious fence, too short to provide protection, but the children don’t dwell too much on it.Īlready, the viewer can suspect something more sinister is at hand: the children are dressed uniformly in white and each has a number tattooed on their neck. Everyone seems to be getting along, Isabella is a wonderful foster mother and, apart from a few chores and tests, the children are usually free to play in the forest. It all begins calmly, almost unnervingly so: 11-year-old Emma is an orphan living in Grace Field House with her foster siblings, including her best friends, Norman and Ray, and their beloved ‘Mama’, Isabella. Season 1 was full of action and plot twists, so you might want to refresh your memory before Season 2, which is scheduled for January 2021. It is chilling and heart-warming all at once, with a unique style that makes it both distinct and horrifying. Made by studio CloverWorks and based on Posuka Demizu and Kaiu Shirai’s manga of the same name, The Promised Neverland is one of the most memorable anime of winter 2019.
