The Promised Neverland--It's Just A Clichéd Worldview

Anyway, it was almost as expected. That is, the story is basically qualified, there are no surprises (maybe I am too strict? (after all, the protagonist is only 12 years old), and the world view is not more developed in the previous episode (perhaps because I have expectations, after all, I made up the meaning of the number on the neck). But the mirroring method is very skilled, and the character setting is very good. But I don't read Japanese comics, so I may not be able to judge from the perspective of Japanese comics. There are some dystopias, leftist fantasies, and fables of apocalyptic apocalypse. Maybe I have seen more dystopian themes, so my expectations are a little high.

From "The Truman World" and "The Hunger Games" to "Maze Runner" and "The Handmaid's Tale." The overall story is more like "The Truman World" + "The Maze Runner", and the first season only talked about the extent to which "Maze Runner" successfully escaped the first layer of material prisons, while political and spiritual prisons are the most important. most importantly, It would be even more ironic if, in the end, this escape became a screening in the villain's plan, or a conspiracy planned by the villain to overthrow the villain's rule. I still look forward to the later story, but if it is simply to fight the boss, overthrow the rules, or even get Norman to come back again, it will not be much fun (remember the setting of the blackening of the little boyfriend at the end of the Hunger Games). But the difference in the setting of this story is that the ruler is no longer human. We are just a kind of livestock. Maybe after we escaped, we found that there are three types of people in the world: those who are to be eaten, those who work for ghosts, and those who manage these two types of people. We are no longer the masters of this world, and it is impossible to save the world with just a few children.

    (7/10) After reading the manga version, I dropped two stars for the anime version. The image of the animated version of Emma has been distorted very much. Not only have many lines been deleted, but some plots that can show Emma's intelligence and maturity have also been transferred to Norman, and Emma's other children's drug tests are original animations. ... In the second season, the entire 50-episode plot that best represented Emma's growth was also cut out by the crew. The original author said: [Emma is not a princess waiting to be rescued by a knight, she is a knight. ] But the animation version just wants to portray Emma as a silly white sweet who relies on men. Can Japanese animation allow a smart and brave girl to become the protagonist of the story? As an accomplice that distorts the real protagonist in order to please and flatter certain otaku tastes, it does not deserve such a high score. The last time I was so angry was when the animated version of "Stone Gate 0", the animated version madly deleted the scenes of Zhenfan, and even transferred some touching plots belonging to Zhenfan to others... I wish the publishers BD sales to die.

    I used to think that the polytheistic work is actually like that. To put it bluntly, this is just a realistic escape room, and I don't think the plot is too brain-burning, but the subject matter is more interesting, but the animation has not made any further changes to the world view and settings. There are a lot of interpretations and answers (maybe because the focus is not on this one, but I personally think it is still very important); secondly, I guessed every point from the beginning to the end of the plot development, so the viewing pleasure and the excitement have been reduced too much, maybe Because I was expecting too much before watching it at the time, but the number of people had to look forward to this score, so I was still disappointed. Some viewers said that the animation is not as exciting as the comics, so I will not say more here, after all, this is animation, and Sometimes animations and comics have different ways of expressing and emphasizing, and they cannot be completely compared. In the end, I really have to complain about the character of the heroine. I can't stand it at all. The aspect is too incoherent and always plays; of course, the last episode is still a little touched by the persistence and hope of human beings, but for individuals, there are more problems, so I can only give two points.
