Over the weekend, I finally went ahead and started watching The Promised Neverland. I already knew the concept of the show before I started watching it but that's what kept me from watching it in the first place. I have a special place for children in my heart so I knew it was gonna make me sad but I didn't know that I would be sad and scared at the same time. I only made it to episode 7 and I was already lowkey traumatized. The Promised Neverland is basically about these orphans who were all raised together on this secluded orphanage. One day, they find out that when kids are "adopted" and leave the orphanage, they're actually killed and fed to alien monsters. That's when they realize that the orphanage is really a human food farm where the children are the supply. That's when the three smartest children start planning their escape but there are a lot of problems and mysteries along the way. The concept, along with the dark close ups on characters, the betrayal, the death, the deeper meanings behind things, the mystery, etc. all played into overwhelming and exciting me at the same time. I will most likely continue watching the show, but I definitely need a break from it before I continue. The good thing was that I was able to understand a lot of the phrases since the cast is children, so it was simplified speech, and the adults use polite speech. I was able to recognized some of the adjectives we learned like きれい and おおきい and verbs like おふろうにはえります. It was a lot of verbs and phrases I understood and I recognized a lot of symbols and Japanese words in the intro/lyrics as well.
