It’s so weird that they decided to butcher the second season the way they did. If they had just… continued adapting the manga, then they could’ve had a long running, beloved, and likely successful series for years, but instead they decided to remove various plot points, change the story, cut it off early, and then shove the rest of the plot into a lame montage that just alludes to the plot points we never got to see. It’s honestly baffling how the company behind the show went so far out of the way to NOT do the thing that could have kept the series successful for several seasons

@@BestSoapzthe first episode is literally shot for shot the manga material though. Seems like a lot just switched up on the series once mystery was gone. Takes a bit before it skips material that to be fair people would say is boring too since it doesn’t further myster and is more character stuff people seem to say they want but complain it’s boring. Overall I don’t hate on the creators they had little choice. Animating the rest was just time consuming and not big pay off as even manga people (this happens for all series) shonen wise started hating it. It’s like if given the choice Naruto would have a nice clean last arc vs war to end fast and make people happier since so many think pain arc is peak and rest is bad. (Not me just online discourse though online people say thousand year blood war would fail and people love it and they think AOT is trash and it’s more popular than game of thrones pirate wise. So internet. Ps. Showed this arc of promise never land in a cut up shorter movie like version 1:20 h each season to a friend years apart and they thought season 2 as someone not into anime was fine.

[@nox6687]

I religiously followed the manga when it came out and fell off of the second season after I realized Mister had been written out, so I didn't realize just how much they skipped. Listening to your summary, I got upset all over again because so many of the problems in the writing were problems the anime created, especially with the big argument with Norman. In the manga, we saw Lamda 742 and how deformed they made people, we saw that the portal in Goldy Pond didn't work, we saw Goldy Pond. So when Norman is giving his side, we understand him. He's seen the worst of the worst of both demons and humanity. Why would he want to go to the human world when the human world put them in this situation and continues to allow it? And why would he want to save the demons when the demons did this to them? But we also understand Emma saying that the problem isn't with the people, it's with the system. She's seen good demons like Sonju and Mujika and bad demons like Nolan and the demons of Goldy Pond. She's seen the human strike squad murder several of her friends before her very eyes. She's seen that there's good and bad demons and humans, but all of the bad guys seem to be working for the establishment, so maybe if they just get rid of that, everything will be okay. SPOILERS: And yet, everyone agrees with Norman, so Emma does too, externally, at least. And things seem great, everyone's reunited and happy and things are finally starting to look up. Except no they aren't, because of course they aren't. And it's only after seeing Norman make moves behind everyone's back and seeing the kids with Emma finally re-acclimate to being safe, that the conversation about Mujika comes up. And Norman once again makes a good point, even if the demons don't have to eat humans any more, they still may want to. The royals wanted to, even though they haven't had to for centuries; Sonju wanted to- though Emma doesn't know that. Unless the threat is eliminated, they'll never be safe. Their family will never be safe. Even if they make it to the human world, if they get rejected and thrown back into the demon world, they'll still be in danger. And that's when Emma brings up going to the Seven Walls. If there's no mortal solution, then they'll go to a god. They'll probably never even make it, much less manage to fix things, which is why Norman sets up the time limit. Both sides are honestly being narrow-sighted. Norman just assumes that killing the demons will fix everything, as if the Ratri clan doesn't show that there are plenty of humans working with the demons, humans that will be none too happy to have their collaborators wiped out. And Emma is just hoping against all hope for a happy ending that will literally take an act of god to have a chance of happening. And yet, we've seen the paths that put them here, and why they can't stray from it. It's a great setup that's honestly not carried through the best. I had hoped that the anime would be a chance for the author to fix the mistakes they had made in the original ending, not add more of them.

[@bazdaddy420]

The way the manga explains it (at least from your explanation) just seems WAY better than the anime, like there seems to be more reason for both Norman and Emma to have their beliefs in the manga. Thanks a lot for commenting this, gave me a lot of insight. Cheers bro

[@roxan_1314]

​@bazdaddy420 the manga actually let's us see the horrors of both and allows Emma to experience way more than her anime counterpart. One issue with the manga was a time skip. Which could have been an anime original season. It would have allowed the anime to fix various pacing issues, flesh out various characters more, and show more of the demon world. But instead the anime went nah we are gonna do this even faster and worse. Part of the reason the Mangas pacing picked up was cause it was set to be canceled. So they had to rush the final arc. The anime did not need to do that

The ending is just disgusting, at the very end Emma has to sacrifice at least something in the entire manga, her connection with her family. After which the author, as always, kills any bet in the anime, reuniting them despite the fact that it was the PRICE, after which there are no consequences and so on throughout the manga

[@crazyeeveedraws1588]

​@Nikoleg4444 the price was her memories NOT that she couldn't see her family again. The ending is supposed to be bitter sweet because Emma even if she's ruinited with everyone she used to love she doesn't know shit about what they suffered through and needs to rebuild ALL her relationships from scratch. It's like if a comma patient woke up and needed to reconnect to everyone who was close to them it's sad because those memories were lost but sweet because you can make new ones

@@moonskyre4221 I never read the manga. Regardless, I still think their chances of survival were rediculously low. They had no survival skills outside of a pantry and they just happened to be found by demons that believed in free range hunting? If this happened in a humans-to-chickens, analogy, that means the free-rangers were living suspiciously close to a high-security government-owned property without getting arrested. If there were enough "chickens" to support them, that implies that there should be way more "adult" chickens out in the woods, or way more breakouts are taking place than the series implies. How many chickens do you see running around in a forest? The only reason we have wild pigeons and horses is because they were abandoned.

@@CRanunculus Well you are right to an extent but I will spoil a lil bit of the beginning of the manga. The kids are helped by a friendly demon and that’s how they survive out in the woods even if their chances were super low. They’re taught how to kill demons and how to hunt.

[@starpower1598]

I’d always just heard that season 2 was horrible. I never watched the show, and read the manga recently. The manga was great the whole way through, lots of questions about what it means to eat, to live, to hunt, the justification that can be found for terrible actions and how appealing, even seemingly reasonable, they can be. Characters learn to rely on and understand others, creating hope even in the darkest times. Hearing about how season 2 went, it was almost like it switched to an entirely different manga that wasn’t nearly as tense, emotional, and thought provokinv

[@bazdaddy420]

[@No_One_Important960]

Oh really? I might have to read the manga then.

[@Nikoleg4444]

It feels like we read different mangas, because manga, like anime, all it does is raise various questions, and then abandon these questions after Emma said that it’s so wrong, after which all the dissatisfied characters completely rewrite their character and ideals. The same Sonju and Lucas, who were for the idea of ​​​​hunting people outside of farms, and then simply appearing at the very end fighting with the queen, so that Emma could take all the people away and remove the need for demons to eat people. Without even talking about how conveniently they resolved the issue of demons needing to eat people, simply by saying that there is “magical royal blood” that, without a single side effect, simply solves all this

[@nichescenes]

@@Nikoleg4444yeah I don’t get the revisionist history. People do realize you can like things and know they have problems. It’s all still an entertainment ride. Seems like the series had the issue I find with many people who hate shone and call any new gen shonen generic trope trash in that a good hook will be great but it’s not gonna go long form. The long lasting shows have hooks throught piece meal. The big hook makes people tune in but a too good one and that’s all people focus on and when they don’t get it they complain. One piece hooks with something you know is far away and in meantime the author can do whatever as all islands can be anything. Death not is great hook but the story had to move fast and keep building till it runs out of steam. Hence why people think the middle sorta end after ___ is less good. Promise never land animated would be a lot of trouble filling in issues for no big pay off. I get why they said nah. Bleach you say yes and fill in tybw there’s something there and the manga creator is refreshed and loves their world and can fill in holes. Guy who made one piece could fill you with his ideas for weeks. Promise never land is great fun just that it isn’t supposed to be what people though. It’s a short thriller lengthened by blown up success. It’s the query book idea that every agent says yes on while the agent really needs to let say a one piece or jjk cook as they have lasting appeal but not the episode 1 super hook. IMO execution matters more than originality anyway and people too soon only stick with hook shows. Anyway I still like promise never land and didn’t hate the season once I just accepted it’s another timeline or what if and condensed spark notes. Not like the manga was perfect even if it sorta was better I’d rather not drag through 60 eps to get to the same spot for years.

[@NunyaBiznessss]

While Season 2 of the anime was definitely screwed over more, the manga was also screwed by Shonen Jump. There were several threads and mysteries that were randomly wrapped up at the very last second as the story suddenly ended. From what I can tell, the author had *at least* one major arc left, but Shonen Jump randomly popped up and gave them like five chapters to wrap everything up. While the overall story is brilliant and beautiful, the ending is without a doubt rushed and unsatisfying. So when rumors of Season 2 making changes to the source material came up, people were excited because we thought perhaps they would take steps to rectify the rushed ending and expand on things the author hadn't thought of earlier on. A lot of us tried really hard to keep drinking the kool aid that maybe it'd work out in the end. I remember mothers basement making a video that maybe they were setting up Isabella v. Gracefield Kids Round 2. And every single episode they proved us more and more wrong. But that friggin slideshow to end the show? Wow that hurt.

@@chloe1078 I thought it would involve the demon and human worlds coming together and the chaos exploding in everyone's faces, and that Sonju would be one of the final villains, given how excited he was at the prospect of eating "wild" humans again. I also thought that what The One asked of Emma was something more gruesome and cruel, like eating her brain, and that the Gracefield kids would have to completely rewrite the world order to save her. And I had hoped that Isabella's role would have been expanded. I wanted to see more of her as Grandma and how she played off her demon masters.

​@@NunyaBiznessss I'm surprised Sonju wasn't amongst those crooked band of hunters in Goldy Pond given how he was, it almost seems like that's what the manga was foreshadowing and would've been pretty interesting to see Emmas reaction to it. I'd reckon it'd be emotions of confusion, hurt, feelings of betrayal, and it'd serve as a good way to make her actually question and confront the illogical basis behind her ideals of not wanting to hurt demons when confronted by Norman about it later. Sonju being a part of Goldy Pond could've easily served as a gateway to giving Emma character development and would've fixed the whole problem with her becoming the "merry sue" character whose always right, too bad it didn't turn out like that though.

I highly recommend reading the manga, I read right after I watched the first season for the first time. It was THAT good, so I got curious with the manga. Loved it, so ofc I thought this anime would have more than two seasons bc of it. Then season two came… and that was it… the disappointment on my face lasted the entire season. Norman wasn’t even supposed to be revealed alive until way later if I remember correctly. I was mad when they revealed him so soon. And they skipped over a lot of great arcs that I think you would love to see. You should definitely read the manga 👌🏽✨✨

The Promised Neverland was one of those anime that had me in a chokehold just from the first season alone, it urged me to read the manga and to get excited for what’s to come. AND BOY WAS I EXCITED. I was especially excited with the built up arc following their escape out the forest because THAT is what made me buy all 20 volumes, literally making it my first ever complete manga collection. So you best believe how utterly DEVASTATED I was with the direction that season 2 took. Felt like a knife to my heart and a shove deeper when they had the audacity to lay evidence of what could have been the greatest animated arc on top of what already was considered a masterpiece to most. (What I’m referring to is the rotten cookies and broken tea cup found in one of the rooms of the bunker.) So yeah season 2 is dead to me and while I understand that character voices/animations would be hard to fund considering just how many characters get introduced, I still would have loved to see an arc as amazing as Goldy Pond be animated.

To be fair to the adaptation, the manga also took a nosedive after the kids staged their great escape. I signed up for the tense, distrustful atmosphere and constant mind games and high stakes of that first arc (which the first season of the anime adapted quite well), but once the kids got outside the walls ...even the manga kinda turned into just another shounen adventure story, except they're looking for a way to get to the human world instead of looking for the One Piece. It shed basically everything I'd found attractive about it initially. That said, it seems like the second season of the anime managed to make everything even worse in ways I couldn't even have anticipated.

[@SeraphOfTheEarth]

Honestly I feel like season 2’s premise could’ve been about Phil, the kid they left behind. Because he’s the only one who had the plan of escape passed down to him. Obviously, he’d be aged up. We could’ve had a more in depth look at the demons by seeing how Phil infiltrates and tries to take down the organisation from within. And the way he interacts with other children, either trying to convince them to his cause or standing against one of the mothers by himself. We could still have that psychological warfare, whilst building on the concept and leaving room for development of the world. With Emma’s escape left ambiguous, Phil could almost idolise the idea of what’s beyond the wall, or write letters that will Emma will never receive. Or he could be paranoid about demons coming to take him away, having nightmares about the children taken away that he could do nothing to save. Either way, I haven’t watched season two so I could be talking nonsense. Or, we could’ve had a new character, say a friend of Phil’s who gets “adopted” and then is given the choice to become a mother. We could then have a subplot of the training mothers have to go through, and the struggle to stay in favour with the hierarchy. We could have a closer look at the guilt some mothers feel for sending away the children they once lived as, seeing them less as monsters beside the demons, and more as victims of the system they’re stuck in. Becoming a mother is just a plight to survive, like the rest of them. Although, I feel like season 1’s ending serves the anime well. It works, because of the buildup before the escape. The relief we feel as an audience from them leaving that situation is a reward within itself, because of the sacrifice Norman made and the hardship they went through for all those young children. Everything before the final episode is building to that moment. That’s why we don’t need to see what’s beyond the wall.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

This is reminding me that I need to finish the manga. While I’ve heard the later parts of the manga apparently has its flaws…but it’s apparently still leagues better than how the 2nd season did it. So far I’m really liking a certain character introduced in the Goldy Pond arc. My wild guess on why season 2 turned out this way; the studio higher-ups really insisted that the show would end on season 2 for some reason, and this was the best the show crew could do with those circumstances. Hoping this series gets a FMA: Brotherhood style remake, and maybe even fix some of the flaws later chapters apparently have.

Yeah a lot of people in the comments have said the same about the manga, and it'd be pretty sick if they remade it like how they did with FMA I didn't think about that.

I haven't read the manga either but there's a good video essay by Lowart here on youtube reviewing the entire thing, and if what he said was true then the anime following the manga to a t still wouldn't have fixed it. Apparently the manga also fell off significantly after the first arc, it lost most of its nuance and all the problems the characters faced were solved way too easily. It's probably still way better than what the anime did though. Go watch that essay its great.

[@Nikoleg4444]

I even regretted a little that the first arc was so good that I gaslighted myself to watch the entire manga, hoping every chapter that it would get better, and only in the last arc I realized that it wouldn’t get better. After which I just started reading to just see the end and oh God how it pissed me off, it was just a summary of all the things I didn’t like in the arcs after the escape. All problems were solved either by Emma saying that it was wrong, or with the help of completely rewritten characters, or simply with the help of things that appeared out of nowhere that solve complex issues, as if there was no problem at all.

honestly I was a huge fan of TPN like a year ago because that’s around when I discovered the manga (I still am a fan but just less so) and I was absolutely HOOKED. the plot, the arcs, the characters, the ending, I absolutely adored all of it. I was a bit sad as well because it was like 2022 at the time and most of the active online discussion was either just not there or out of my reach, aside from the occasional video, so naturally i was overjoyed when I discovered an anime! i loved the first season and immediately went on to binge the second, and was horrified. they got rid of entire characters, an entire arc (which was one of my favorites; the bright brutality of goldy pond was and is still beautiful to me), and changed up the story so much that I didn’t even really recognize it at some points. (yugo is one of my favorite characters, so I was already very disappointed.) and THEN. they did the slideshow ending, which just was the final nail in the coffin. (the only upside to the entire thing was that I got to see Norman. that’s it. that’s all there is to it.) i never touched, looked, or acknowledged the existence of season 2 ever again. anyways, point being: I love TPN (and also yugo + norman) and season 2 has never and will never exist, in my mind! thank you for the video, it was absolutely stellar and made so, SO many points that i agree with, even if I didn’t recognize that until they were brought up. it’s been a while since I revisited TPN, so I’m gonna go relive the pain again and reread the manga and rewatch the anime, thanks again! :) TLDR if you can’t be bothered to read all that: amazing video, bad anime, great points, and I will never forgive OR forget what they did to yugo or norman.

A big reason the first season was so great was because the kids' intelligence never made them just seem like tiny adults, which is HUGELY difficult to do because we tie development so closely with knowledge. They would still play, cry, want comfort, etc because at the end of the day they're still 11 years old. None of the children (that we saw) were immediately ready to leap into action when told the truth. Phil's very realistic sobbing while clinging onto emma's lap was one of the stand out moments of the show to me, it never lets you forget how young they actually are.

I actually have a theory about how the kids are born in this :3 So similar to the handmaid’s tale, my theory is that one of the roles in the training centers in the farms is men who’re js breeders. It’s based off of loose evidence, but it makes sense to me bc how else would these kids exist ?? Basically, when watching the anime, I noticed Phil kinda looked like Don. Dominic (a random side kid) and Rossi (that random ass kid who was lost with don during the military break in at b06-32) kinda look like Norman. Lannion and Alicia look similar as well. Carol looks a bit like Emma. Connie slightly looks like Anna. Ofc this is anime, so I’m literally js going off of skin, hair, and eye color, but it’s smth I noticed. (Edit: I pulled up the list of characters on the wiki and Connie and Anna have a similar facial expression/features so this kinda proves my theory more)
