There are several superficial and close similarities between Shadows House and The Promised Neverland, bolstering why fans of the latter should check out the new series. The most apparent similarities would be the premise of each show, which both feature small children trying to uncover and eventually escape from a dark, conspiratorial fate. In addition, their similarly macabre and almost old-fashioned fairy tale settings make the horror even more unsettling due to their mutual cute and innocent-seeming cast members. These elements make both at first seem to be entirely different shows, with Shadows House starting out feeling more like a slice-of-life series that eventually dovetails into a gothic mystery. Both franchises also have antagonists that are dark parallels to the heroes that face them. These villains appear in the form of a Royal/Noble Family, even if the former in The Promised Neverland's anime had a substantially smaller role than they did in the manga.
