1. The storyboard editing is excellent. In the animation, the switching of scenes in order to create a terrifying, tragic, and moving atmosphere in a timely manner is quite amazing, and the insertion of several memories is also very natural, and there is no ill feeling to strengthen the memory for the memory.
2. The rhythm is neither too fast nor too slow. As a manga "reform" work, the production team has a very good grasp of the rhythm, and each episode has content, but it is neither long-winded nor gritty. The key point is to dare to modify the original work to adapt to the animation rhythm.
3. BGM/OP/ED should be used for the occasion. Even in January 2019, when the fairy OP emerged, the quality of Neverland's OP can be squeezed into the forefront, and its music style is also very suitable for the tense atmosphere of the work itself. The fairy-like BGM and memory killing of the final words pierce the tears, and the tune handling is also quite good.
4. The painting is stable. I have to say that I prefer the latter to the manga style and animation style. Neverland has modified the slightly "villain" style of the original to make it closer to the audience's aesthetics. The fairly stable level of painting in all 12 episodes is also a highlight.
5. The details are handled finely. Compared with the general lack of funding for other January dramas, Neverland maintains "the supporting characters also have normal faces" while handling the details of expressions and actions very finely, as well as the psychological activities.
back to the manga itself
The first reason I like Neverland is that the "villain" of this work has a brain, and his actions are logical and age-appropriate, and he will not be suddenly mentally retarded because of the needs of the plot. With the deepening of reading, what impresses me is the portrayal of each character's character. The character's words and deeds can intuitively reflect the character, and his character is also matched with his experience. The most valuable thing is the way of thinking of the characters, the code of conduct will change, and one person will not admit to death and go to the end without thinking.
After all, Neverland is more like a "group drama". When the protagonist group shows their style, each child is performing their own wonderful.
The second season of the animation will return in 2020, see you soon.
