25 [Similar Anime] Like The Promised Neverland

Both have deep world building that focus on a sense of mystery to the show's world which our heroes must try to figure out. Both have deep rooted deception and secrecy. Both have creatures that are a huge source of fear for the humans characters as they actively eat people.

My first impression of this anime : 'This feels awfully like Attack on Titan'

Post-apocalypse! World-building! Plot twist! If you like animes that are dark then Attack on Titan and Promised Neverland are the best for you. People trapped inside the walls in attack on Titan and kids trapped in farmhouse. Both are similar in plot wise that it will get you invested throughout the whole show. Both involving mystery you will love it. These shoes are a must watch in case of my opinion.

Both share the setting of an orphanage, being closed down from the outside world, having little kids as protagonist, the turn from a vibrant to a very dark setting

Both The Promised Neverland and Made in Abyss look seemingly "cute" and rather lighthearted at first glance. Yet later on in the journey, you realize it's more than that - the world in which they live in are more mysterious and there's more to this than meets the eye.

Both are about battle of wits, two sides trying to outsmart each other..
Promised Neverland is a spiritual successor of Death Note in shonen (jump) genre ...

Psychological Warfare. Both anime are a great example of mind games and being one step ahead of your opponent.

Surprised there aren't more people drawing connections between these two...

The children's fight. The Promised Neverland and Erased follow children fighting to keep others around them alive.

Both are truly impressive and thought provoking. Unusual characters, unusual plot, unexpected plot twists. Similar setting, very similar atmosphere. Happy childhood, which turns out to be only a facade, behind which lies a terrible truth.

The Promised Neverland and Seraph of the End are both anime about children being raised as livestock for man-eating creatures. Both anime are adaptations of Shonen manga published in one of Shueisha's Jump magazines, The Promised Neverland is published in Weekly Shonen Jump, and Seraph of the End is published in Jump SQ. The Promised Neverland is more about mind games, while Seraph of the End is more action oriented.

Both anime can be summed up as "more than meets the eye". Madoka Magica and Promised Neverland use a more cutesy, easily recognisable and seemingly upbeat artstyle as a contrast to an emotion-and-thrill packed plot.

Both are adapted from dark fantasy manga by shonen JUMP.

Both share a similar twist in tone at the end of the first episode, both feature horror elements and they have a similar art style

In both shows, the main cast of characters are younger aged individuals who live in an enclosed environment isolated from the dangers and revelations of the outside world. Both parties are shocked when they eventually find out about the truth regarding the world/universe they live in.

-Both anime's theme revolves around a dark psychological thriller. These anime will definitely take you on a major rollercoaster with tons of cliffhangers that leave you wanting more. If you like one, you will like the other.

The subversion of expectations but without the cost of ruining the worldbuilding and character introduction is a theme that runs in both of these shows, at least in the preliminary stage. What you get may not always parallel what you expect, and in the first few episodes alone both shows prove that they have much more in store, should you choose to continue watching.

Both animes revolve around a very dark thriller theme that keeps you wondering and want more. The characters in both of the animes are trapped in a facility where they eventually find out that they have to escape the place or else death will await them. Everyone was deceived about what was going on and what the place actually was from a mastermind. People are dying one by one, so the characters try to make an escape plan. Their goal is to leave the place and go out the door that leads them to the real world. While they work hard to escape, they have read more

Both made by the same director, Mamoru Kanbe.
Both are deep psychological shows with dark themes. Both involve perceived threats to humanity. Although EL has gore and TPN does not. Both show the same horrors. Although the storylines are different, there are similarities in tone and feel. If you like one you will like the other.

In both of these anime the humans are presented as "the hunted" by other creatures (in Tokyo Ghoul, Ghouls, and in Yakusoku no Neverland, Demons).

Both seem light hearted and fun but are actually dark and gritty.
Both have children that have features that no normal child would have Hunter X Hunter super strength and The Promised Neverland super intelligence.
Hunter X Hunter is more action/adventure
The Promised Neverland is more mystery

Kids fighting for their lives. Deadman Wonderland and The Promised Neverland both are about kids trying to survive against some evil force that looms over them.

Both series includes being locked in a certain place and the characters attempts to escape from there. Though in Rainbow it doesn't include supernatural beings like Demons.

Paranoia grows. The Promised Neverland and Death Parade both follow characters who grow paranoia among those they are with.

It is deadly chess... Basically if you make one mistake you die. The longer you hide what you kow, the more likely it is for you to survive. I strongly recommend both of them for the tension :)

The shows take place in the future and the histories of the worlds the main characters live in are filled with mysteries. The stories focus on teenagers/kids who find themselves in a dangerous situation and have to work together to get out of it alive. The main protagonists of both series are determined not to leave anyone of their team/family behind.

Dr Stone and The Promised Neverland both are about young people who take a stand for themselves, not only for the better of themself but for those around them as well.

The two both have that psychological thriller/mental breakdown theme throughout their shows. While Yakusoku is more focused on the feeling of no escape and horror in general, Steins;Gate also has that "no escape feel", but in a bit of a different sense than that of Yakusoku and has a great sense of suspense, but not like in the horror way Yakusoku does. They also have good senses of humor, Yakusoku being more innocent and pure (ironic for a horror anime ik) and Steins;Gate with more bizarre and dirty humor. I highly recommend both for enjoyable psychological shows that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

- Great pacing as soon as one problem is resolved another even greater one appears keeping you entertained and interested. The issues are also given in a way that doesn't feel rushed or out of place.
- Both shows revolve around characters in near-death experiences
- Suspicions arise in places the main characters and persons around them usually call home
- Great animation and sound

Psychologically disturbing, centering around the insidious nature of child abuse, and pinning adults using their power over children as the main threat, Happy Sugar Life and Promised Neverland may have two completely different story lines, but share a lot of similarities when it comes to the ingenuity of young characters overcoming hideous individuals. Happy Sugar Life is possibly one of the more controversial anime out there. Our main character once a victim of abuse now uses her defense mechanism- a strong intuition about people who are malicious, and a ability to manipulate people which she uses on these antagonists to obtain her goals.
