On the one hand, you have Haibane Renmei and Innocence, on the other The Maze Runner and Attack of the Titans. The Promised Neverland finds itself somewhere in the middle. A fantasy film about a group of foster kids stuck in a walled-in domain, not quite as action-based as its blockbuster peers, but not as stylish as its more artistic brethren.
The presentation is nice, the fantasy elements are creative enough, it's only the performances that drag the quality down. The kids are pretty annoying and there's no lack of overacting. The direction could've been a bit more distinctive too, other than that this was a pretty solid fantasy film.
