Plot:

Set in the year 2045, 38 orphans are living in Grace Field House. This house has everything a child could ask for: Clean clothes, soft beds, caring siblings, amazing food, warmth, shelter and a loving mother!

Until Norman and Emma, two of the eldest and smartest of them, learn a secret they were not supposed to.

They are cattle. They are raised to be meat for horrible demon like creatures to be eaten like animals!

Upon learning this they devise a plan to escape the orphanage along with their fellow siblings. All the while, they will have to avoid the watchful eyes of their mother as well as learning how they will escape their prison and survive on the outside.

My Thoughts:

This is a very good and suspenseful anime. The animation is great in that its great at showing fear, and things that can instill fear even though nothing is inherently scary. I wish I could explain more...

These children are adorable and conniving and I love it.

There are a couple of POC characters. Mainly children, 1 woman. She’s...a little crazy...but her craziness is explained in the fact that she just wants to survive.

Favorite character: Emma
