The one thing that great Japanese anime has in common is that it makes you more willing to believe in something. Neverland is such a work. About food and survival. About ignorance and prison. When you learn to think actively, it makes you purer and more willing to believe in certain things. such as freedom. such as friendship.
Instead of talking about the well-recognized excellent plot, I want to talk about the characters. The three protagonists are taken out separately, and there may be some unpleasant things, but the three people who are together harmoniously influence each other and build a unique world view. I have to say that this is where the author handles it extremely skillfully. Ray's memory, insight, and hands-on ability (especially mechanical) are all excellent, but this doesn't seem to contradict his innate physique. On the surface, he was casual and calm, but in fact, he knew the truth about the human flesh farm of the "orphanage" earlier than anyone else. He took the lead and led the other two children to discover the truth; he worked hard and spent six years assembling the parts and inventing the machine to destroy the positioning signals on the children. He wanders around Breeder IsabellaAmong the children who planned to escape, he skillfully played the role of a "double agent". The idea of denying the whole crew to flee at first (which later turned out to be true) sounds less humanitarian, but based on his rational analysis of reality, Norman's complete depression after the shipment was ostensibly his "easy-to-give-up" character Revealing, in fact, hides his deep thinking and resistance. The evidence is that on the night before the shipment, he used the fire to create an opportunity for everyone to escape. When he poured gasoline on his head and shouted "I'm human", everything about this character was already clear. Emma is an orthodox sunshine girl setting, she is a "stupid who won't get sick", she cherishes her own home and family (orphanage and children) more than anyone else; therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand that after she discovered the truth She was shocked and shaken, and it was not difficult to understand her unwillingness to leave any child behind. Of course, there would naturally be more people who scold her Virgin in this way. But it's worth noting that the characters' mood changes. In this regard, the author's treatment is very natural. From the cheerfulness at the beginning to the horror of discovering the truth, to the desperation after Norman's shipment, and finally the decision to temporarily leave the children under the age of four. Of course, there was no lack of her struggles and tears during this process. When Norman decides to sacrifice himself, she asks him to flee into the forest; when Ray lights the match, she catches the spark and lets Ray cut off his ear to avoid signal tracking. In fact, she insists on her own principle (although this principle is too ideal) to pursue the optimal solution, and the realization of this optimal solution will make people touch the dazzling light. Some of her rambunctious ideas are actually extremely wise, such as choosing a trusted partner and telling the secret to most people, including a four-year-old child. Sincerity can be exchanged for trust, which determines that she is the best caller in this escape plan. Her adherence to ideals and unremitting pursuit of the optimal solution has turned the impossible into a possibility, and is the author's most positive answer to the future of mankind. Norman is more of a coordinator between Ray and Emma. He understands Ray's practical considerations and supports Emma's ideals. At the same time, his own comprehensive quality is very comprehensive. It was him who discovered Ray's spy status; it was also him who discovered the layout of the five farms. He is more like the person who holds the overall situation of the entire escape plan, a tactician. Before the shipment, he designed an escape plan for everyone after his death, and it was because of his plan that everyone was able to escape successfully after two months of escape training. Shockingly, he made his own death part of the plan. What courage is a child less than twelve years old.
