"The Promised Neverland" is the best suspense animation I've seen recently. Although there are only three episodes so far, it is super enjoyable to watch. After watching the animation is not enough, I also chased the manga until the latest chapter 99. Watching it for two days in a row, "The Promised Neverland" is really brain-burning and beautiful, and I can't stop it.
I also watched Conan's theatrical version of "The Executor of Zero" recently, but it may be because of aesthetic fatigue. It gives me a far less intense feeling than "The Promised Neverland".
Conan's fame is accumulated by the superb and amazing criminal ideas in its plot, as well as the more superb detection and evidence collection skills from Conan, Heiji and others. However, in the theatrical version in recent years, there is less original reasoning and analysis, but more various big scenes. The fighting scenes are getting more and more bloody, the fighting skills are getting smarter and the fighting scenes are getting bigger and bigger.
Exploding buildings, Conan and skateboards flying in the sky, Heiji driving motorcycles and Amuro Toru's various dazzling tricks, I was stunned when I watched them.
In "The Executor of Zero", Amuro can actually suspend the tire on one side of the car with only the steering wheel, and only use the tire on the other side to move forward, like playing roller skating, which is easier than ordinary people doing difficult movements with hands and feet . The protagonist in "Initial D", Fujiwara Takumi, who specializes in driving, is not as powerful as Amuro who is a policeman.
The performances of Conan and the others are farther and farther away from normal humans, and they are directly approaching Superman. The theatrical version has also moved closer to the "American blockbuster".
As someone who has been watching Conan since elementary school, if I just pursue thrills and excitement, then I'll just watch Hollywood blockbusters instead of watching Conan theatrical versions. Now I'm watching Conan theatrical version. What I want to see is reasoning. What do you want to show me so many big scenes?
Compared with the various big scenes in Conan's theatrical version, where the reasoning is just soy sauce, "The Promised Neverland" really uses reasoning and suspense as the leading role.
This animation is limited to an orphanage, and the main characters are only 4 people - 1 adult and 3 children. The stage is very simple, and the plot is not complicated. The adults and children are fighting wits and courage. The three children want to escape from the orphanage from the adults.
At the beginning of the first episode of the animation, a lot of space was used to create a very warm orphanage, but in the end there was a big turning point. The orphanage was actually just a farm, specially raising orphans for ghosts to eat. How warm is the relationship between the child and the mother, and how cruel the truth is when the truth emerges.
I haven't read the manga before, I watched the animation of "The Promised Neverland" directly, and I didn't know what kind of episode it was before watching the animation. So after watching the first episode of the animation, the reversal of the front and back plots scared me enough, but it was so addicting that I couldn't help chasing it.
I think this is what a suspenseful reasoning animation should look like. Suspense and reasoning must be the protagonists.
