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 series include dark mysteries.
Both are about survival. Humans against non-humans.
In both series the main three characters are close childhood friends, bonded with something stronger than blood relation, and they protect each other like a family.

- Almost same set up where there is an outside world that is different from the world they knew.
- Trio protag
- Same dark vibes/atmosphere
- Both dystopian
The enemy forces are unknown creatures without a clear origin ,with the traitors everywhere,The environment is isolated from the other world
My first impression of this anime : 'This feels awfully like Attack on Titan'
There are three main protagonists like Eren, Armin and Mikasa. They were surrounded by wall and trying to escape it (Although the wall doesn't play that big role in here like in Attack on Titan does). There's also these human eater creatures. Also I think Eren say something similar about them being trapped inside a wall like cattle. Well, in this case they are literally the cattle.
I'd say there are also Death Note feel to it, but I lean more towards Attack on Titan.
We have a dreary, mysterious World, young people risking their lives for freedom, and plenty creepiness, darkness, and heart-stopping action!
A group of people trapped inside of walls trying to escape from "monsters " that are trying to eat them. Both groups do some kind of training, trying to fight/escape the titans/demons. The main three characters of each anime have some similarities as well.
If you liked the plot about humans not being on the top of the food chain in Attack on Titan then you will definitely like story about kids trying to escape the fate of being eaten in The Promised Neverland
At first sight these animes may not have to much similarities but the sensations of mistery and intrigue to know what is outside the primary and early location of the plot.

Both shows feature characters inside an area closed off by a wall/fence, possibly keeping someone/something out. Without spoiling much, they're both dark and are based on the main characters trying to survive their situations.
Both manga are about humans trying to surrive in a world in which they aren't the dominant predators anymore.

Both have a scary deep world where there is creatures that are a huge threat for the human race and the main characters are trying to get out of their bubble that they have been locked in to try to kill/stop the creatures that are basically eating humans as their lunch
Both are dark, mystery horror series with lovable characters, nice ost and awesome animation.

The setting of both shows is very similar.
Both shows start of with three main charakters living in a place encircled by walls seperating them from the outside world.
The main charakters both have a very strong sense of freedom and have their own idea of a true peaceful life.
They also have a very dark atmosphere and lots of mysteries about the world with some twists here and there.
In both anime - children heroes live in a cage surrounded by monsters.

The two series both subvert expectations.
Sometimes you think where a series is headed, but its probably wrong. There are a lot of mind fucks going on.
The Promised Neverland doesn't really have to do with politics or have gore like Attack on Titan, but they both really mess with the viewer. (I really can't say anything else or it will probably spoil)

Both animes make you ask alot of questions about the anime, there also leaves alot of cliff hangers too which adds suspense
People often recommend these with one another, and they really are similar. Both have similar three leads, and both have similar premises. In AOT, giants are eating humans and you are forced to live in a wall. In TPN its the opposite, you are eaten inside the wall. Both want to escape to a better world. There is gore, horror and psychological
aspects in each titles. However AOT is more long running and is alot more violent and dark. I cant guarantee if you like one you will enjoy another, but they are similar af and are both good anime.

- trio of main protagonists
- shock value
- horror themes
- destroyed peace
- tension
- intergenerational "racial" conflict
- theme of war and peace
- dark, mysterious and well-structured world
- "outside the walls" motive
Both based on determination to survive, strategy making and existential themes. Arguably Promised Neverland is more intense about all the three mentioned above but that's subjective since it handles that in a more subtle and often plot driven way. It's attention intensive due to that reason. Comparatively, it has more psychological horror, strategy making, mystery and suspense instead of action but also with less edge of the seat moments. The promised neverland although has similar and very well-written characters, doesn't have as much character variation and if action wasn't AoT's best aspect for you, it can definitely fill the hole AoT leaves.
Without comparison, Promised neverland

In both of the anime, there are 'monsters' that eat human beings.
In both of the anime, humans want to get past the wall and know what is and what can be seen beyond it.
In both of the anime, tactics and strategies are needed to get past the wall. In short terms, humans are using their brains and not force or magic powers.

Both have great OST.
Both have great animation.
But most importantly, in both of these amazing animes there are so many questions. In time they both answer these questions but those answers result in even more questions.
While watching them you always feel on the edge and wonder what's going to happen and I think this is one of the most important things.
Both are dark and lowkey twisted.
Overall, they both are great animes and if you love watching Shingeki no Kyojin I believe you'll love Yakusoku no Neverland as well.
-main characters want to know what's beyond the walls
-humans are food
-action, horror, gore
Both shows are very similar in concept. Without going into spoilers, they follow the same structure. Think of The Promised Neverland Season 1 as the equivalent of Attack on Titan Seasons 1-3, as they can both be separated in two parts: before “x discovery” and after “x discovery”. The story-telling and world-building in both shows are great and I’m excited to see how The Promised Neverland will follow Attack on Titan’s footsteps.

Both anime are dark fantasy, and are set in a world where monstrous creatures feed on humans. Both of them add a horror-mystery element to the shounen genre.
Both serve up the mystery and worldbuilding bit by bit, doing so beautifully. And there is a lot of character death, of course.
Both have characters that completely change the perspective of the audience from what we initially thought.
And also, remember to never underestimate the side characters of these shows!

Prey fights back. Also both anime have the question, what’s on the outside?
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 of the animes want freedom, both of the animes are also about escaping

I recommend this anime to all those who want to approach an anime that over time, without spoilers, will have an unprecedented story. If you also like swords and giant monsters, this work is for you, even if this is the peculiarity of the work. The attack of the giants is a mixture of mystery and discovery, it will lead you to follow the story by making you empathize and identify with the characters of the story. In my opinion, the attack on the giants is one of the most successful anime transpositions from a manga that in my opinion is clearly superior to the

I think that the freedom and fear elements are what make these anime similar.
The freedom element is similar as in AOT they are trying to get beyond the walls and Paradis island and etc and TPN is that that they are trying to escape the slaughterhouse.
The fear element is that in AOT they fear the titans and in TPN they fear the demons that want to eat them.
The Promised Neverland is similar to Attack On Titan in the sense that neither you nor the characters know what's going on, i.e, you discover the plot of the anime together.
Both have similar vibes - children having to make tough decisions where their lives will depend on their actions, humanity under attack, and just really interesting themes and sacrifices being made

Both are about a group of people who are trapped in some sort of environment that is closed off to the outside world. They fight to uncover secrets about a world dominated by monsters. They have similar premises but also are very different. Only watch Season 1 of The Promised Neverland, after that I highly recommend reading the manga.
in this anime some kids are trying to get rid of some demons that want to eat them.
