It's always a good thing when we want our kids to watch anime with protagonists that are in children's form because we believe it would be easy for them to enjoy and assimilate what's going on in the anime but one thing about the anime world is that it is very unpredictable. An adult in the anime world can be a child, and a child in the anime world can be an adult; take, for example, the Isekai kind of anime. Anyway, that's not what we are here to discuss today; we are here to talk about an anime that is so interesting and shows how intelligent children can be, and the title of this anime is
The Promised Neverland
The Promised Neverland is a gripping anime series that combines mystery, thriller, and psychological suspense. The story happened in an orphanage called Grace Field House. It follows a group of children, led by the intelligent and resourceful Emma. Now these children are given everything they requested for, I mean everything a normal kid would want, but little did these children know that the orphanage is a more of a farm that was created to raise children for monster consumption.
One of the reasons I love this anime is because of its use of children as protagonists.
By placing the story in the shoes of kids, it made the anime unpredictable because these kids are intelligent, but they are still kids. The anime creates a sense of vulnerability and innocence that heightens the tension and emotional impact. The children's perspective also allows the show to explore themes of childhood, fun, trust, betrayal, motherhood, and many more.
A kid's love for their parent is something no one can explain, and when they found out the one they call mother was serving them up for monsters to eat, they became terrified and started planning their escape. They are kids; do you think they would succeed?
I wouldn't be giving any spoilers, but some of the kids you should look out for in the anime are Emma, Ray, and Norman.

Norman is a gentle and easy-going guy; he always thinks twice and looks for the best possible solution
Emma is an energetic child, full of strength, and wants to do things with brutal force.
Ray is the chilled guy, nonchalant and doesn't care much for the rest, but he loves them all.
One thing they all have in common is that they are very smart kids.
The story is full of twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as kids navigate the complex web of rules and secrets surrounding their orphanage. Even kids too want to survive when they know they are in danger.
Conclusion
If you are an anime enthusiast and you haven't seen The Promised Neverland, then this is a recommendation for you because it is a must-watch anime for anyone who enjoys mystery, thriller, and psychological suspense. I would rate the show a 9/10 because of how interesting it is. Before I finish up, I would love you to know the anime is a series, so seat tight and enjoy the show.
