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.

Both anime feature children that have to go through some bad circumstances while they explore the world around them (In The Promised Neverland they have to, in Made in Abyss they want to).

Both shows are thrilling, keeping you hooked to the screen, they are about mind games, have genius characters, and have very good storyline. Everything is very detailed and explained wisely. Good psychological thrillers are rare today, these shows are unique here.

Surprised there aren't more people drawing connections between these two... Similar in terms of genre and tone (psychological suspense/thriller), in addition to overall visual style (initially thought they might have been the same studio). In terms of plot, both follow the travails of powerful children facing dark/sinister, still-more-powerful antagonists, which leads to the cat-and-mouse pacing of each episode. Prime differences would be in setting ("Boku dake..."/"Erased" is more realistically grounded, despite the key plot device motivating the central arc of the story, vs. the futuristic sci-fi/fantasy world of "Yakusoku..."/"Promised Neverland"), and protagonist focus ("Boku dake..."/"Erased" largely centers on the perspective of one MC, vs. "Yakusoku..."/"Promised

both series main plot revolves around children being kept in some sort of mansion by unknown being and their stories to unveil what's behind this scenarion.

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.

Both shows use a dark theme covered up with a cute atmosphere. The main characters are children, which must fight to survive in this cruel world.

Both anime have demons and children who are exposed to these demons early on in their lives and it drastically changes the paths their lives would've taken. Both have great art styles, animation, characters, OST's and pacing.

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 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. -Zankyou is more subtle crazy, curious about discovering and figuring out what the real truth is while Yokashou knows the truth and figuring a way out. Both very big emotional rollercoaster. Both keep you on your toes after every episode -Both animes have two main guy characters and one girl character, very similar personalities -Both animes, the children are labeled with numbers and are born in a similar environment.

Both animes have premises regarding a isolated place from the world that have been lost due a catastrophic event for, potentially, all humanity. A wall was built to keep kids "safe" from the outside world. "Alienation" and "survival" are common themes in both animes.

Both show a group of characters who seem to have a normal lifestyle at first, but in reality, there exists a dark secret lurking in the shadows. 
report Recommended by Akimore
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

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.  
report Recommended by MidnightRainbow
Both series show a cruel reality within a happy lie, whilst also being an "escape story" of sorts, with our main characters having to find their true purpose and where they fit in one huge puzzle. There is a lot of similar themes in place, and the stakes are similar and present. Whilst they have different settings and character interactions, they stay true to one another by centering on both the mystery of the inside and outside world.

Similar to The Promised Neverland, the cast of 7SEEDS are unknowingly put in a situation designed for them.  
report Recommended by Fap_King
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

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. Dr Stone follows student scientist genius Senku carrying humanity on his back by trying to take it back to how it once was. TPN takes on the same kind of idea but on a smaller scale with the highly intelligible children of Grace Field having to save themselves from the bleak future that awaits them if they are too late. Both are good anime for the shounen demographic which are based upon using the brain for

Both of these shows have a combination of sweet and innocent moments but before you know it turns on its head and turns disturbing fast. You will be standing on your feet for much of the scenes wondering what is going on and what will eventually happen. They like to delay the darker moments and you can differently feel the fear the characters of both series are experiencing under different circumstances. Both shows follow a group of children trying to solve a mystery. The characters have a similar feel around them, and the shows are of the same genres (Horror & Mystery).

So these two animes are both very good. They have similar art styles and both deal with the supernatural. They both have very good characters and are horror type animes. 
report Recommended by Animeisverypog
Main villain (Johan) comes from an orphanage where kids were experimented on by Nazis and is equally (if not more) terrifying as Isabella / Mama giving similar tensity whenever he is on the screen. Both shows explore depths of human mind, making you question what is right and wrong, as well as an Mystery element having you grave for more with ending of each episode.

Both seem cute and easygoing on the surface but get darker and more disturbing later on.

Teamwork. TPN and Summer Wars share the similarity in a family joint effort to tear down literally anything in their path. The odds may be stacked against them, they surely have no chance of winning, they are literally supposed to lose in normal circumstances, but an entangling pull into these anime still brings you falling into a hole of the build-up of the entire process in which teamwork has. TPN does this, with children of the farm using whatever it is they can to combat the forces that wish to prey on them. Summer Wars is a family + extension's attempt to save the entire world

Idk where children get their powers from, but I sure as hell would like to know where some of that plot armour comes from. Regardless, when you give children the means to change the world, some truly magnificent events are possible to exist. TPN and Eva use this concept to create intense moments of people trying to hold onto dear life at such a young age. There come betrayals, secrets unfolded, insight and more secrets unfolded. A lot is in store for these two, and only time will tell when you feast your eyes upon them. Two great psychological anime, highly acclaimed for being unconventional in

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 :)

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. Deadman Wonderland is about Ganta entering prison to try clear his name. TPN the children trying to escape from Grace Field since demons wish to eat them. Both are good anime for the shounen demographic, though Deadman Wonderland has action, with TPN having psychological mind games to play with.

Whilst the two are very much far apart, a slap of reality could not be more effective in the two anime as given. PB and TPN are too anime that know how a clap of reality will forever change your perspective on the world. PB's incredible crescendo into the true broken idea of what even is reality anymore. TPN's twist of fate for what your whole entire life has been manufactured and agreed to be without consent. The message becomes clear. Despite no control over it. Your wishful reality. Gone. Good anime for their target audience, a real tension in the air alongside some crazy good animation

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. 
report Recommended by EppJeyy
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.

these are quite different in style series. Neverland - a race to the 12+3 episodes.| Shiki- long building tension. Both about death. I like both of them and may you too... p.s. why the hell titans have 40+ reccommends for neverland?

Both series give the viewer a sense of thrill and showcase how the world around the characters is incredibly messed up. Both have great animation as well.  
report Recommended by SGHope
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). In both Ghouls and Demons seemingly have their own society. Both have horror and psychological themes and the main characters start off having to adapt into the society they have been placed in by no fault of their own.

both have a dark side of their world right?  
report Recommended by ArchNiki
If you like the whole "I've outsmarted you!", "But I've outsmarted you!", "And I've outsmarted you!" etc. aspect, both of these anime contain plenty of that in them, as well as the dangerous guardian (Koro-sensei/Mama) facet. 
report Recommended by Kong38
Similar setting, both plot happens within a wall the characters can't get beyond, some of them disappeared, the remaining ones have to learn to accept and get over their friends' disappearance and get over with their own past. And some of them trying to get to other side of the wall just like in Yakusoku no Neverland. And in Haibane Renmei the characters live in a place quite like the orphanage in Yakusoku no Neverland, the plot is just about the light-hearted daily life of Haibanes but later it would reveal its gritty and depressing side
