C3 AFA Singapore Will Host Premiere Screening of The Promised Neverland Anime

The Anime Festival Asia convention announced on Sunday that the convention's Singapore event will host a premiere screening of the first episode of the television anime adaptation of Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu's The Promised Neverland (Yakusoku no Neverland) manga on December 2, before the anime's January 2019 premiere in Japan. Sumire Morohoshi, who voices Emma in the anime, will attend the event, alongside an Aniplex producer.

The anime will premiere in January 2019 on Fuji TV's Noitamina block and will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime in Japan. In France, the show will stream exclusively on Wakanim.

Mamoru Kanbe (Elfen Lied, The Perfect Insider) is directing the anime at A-1 Pictures' CloverWorks studio (PERSONA 5 the Animation). Toshiya Ono (Gatchaman Crowds, The Perfect Insider) is writing the series composition, Kazuaki Shimada (Mahou Shoujo Nante Mouiidesukara.) is designing the characters for animation, and Takahiro Obata is composing the music.

The Singapore event will take place from November 30 to December 2.

Last year, Sozo partnered with Japanese content company Sotsu Co., Ltd. to bring together the Sozo's Anime Festival Asia and Sotsu's C3 brand and events, holding events in Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
