It’s October and that means it’s time to get into the spirit of the season, and obviously nothing gets you into the Halloween mood better than horror. Unfortunately when it comes to most live-action horror films, there’s only so much that can be done and shown, but thankfully of all things, Anime can cross the line with story, gore, and intriguing storytelling. So for every day this month, I’ll be featuring a unique Anime that fits the horror genre that you can most likely find on any streaming service. Let’s plan our escape with The Promised Neverland!
The Promised Neverland (2019) is about an orphanage where everything is great! The kids are smiling and having fun, they have school and have great grades, a loving mother figure watching over them, sound great right? Turns out there’s a more sinister purpose of the orphanage and as a result, the three oldest children have decided to plan their escape and keep it from the adults.
The series right now only has 12 episodes as a second season is on its way within a year or two and a live-action version of the story will be coming as well.
