[@violetamartinelli3589]

I also don't like what they did to Ray's character, he's like... just there. they didn't even mention the fact that he's Isabella's son, like, she didn't even look at him, and it was such a huge twist in the first season, I thought it would be more relevant. Her betrail also came out of nowhere, in the begining os the season she looked ready to sell all the kids and then sudely she helped them, like...

[@Sarazoul]

I kinda saw her betrayal a mile away. In S1 when you get her backstory, you know she really loved all of them. And she really never wanted to hurt them. She just wanted them to have the best life possible before they are shipped. Knowing this, I had a feeling she would betray the demons. The problem was execution. There was no build up to anything. When Isabella is put in charge. She doesn't do anything. She could have been just a grunt with a gun. Would not have made a difference. It's just implied that she convinced the momas off screen. And that's it. So very underwhelming twist. And yeah. The fact that she seems to love Emma more then her own Son (like every character in the show who just worships her for no good reason). That was down right insulting

[@ladylaura_93]

In the manga they get a really tiny moment (and an extra chapter dedicated to Isabella)

[@smoglin2369]

That basically happens to Ray in the manga too lmao

[@sayudhdas3557]

i heard somewhere that ray was supposed to be killed off. that makes the rest of the story make more sense as ray isn't that important of a character there.

[@themanidentifiedasdinosaur8138]

What? Ray was isabella's son? Was that in the anime? My main concern is actually Phil's uninvolvement in the anime. There was a theory in film theory by matpat that I support that Phil was kind of the mastermind. As he pointed, (which is very cool btw), the manga and season 1 used the panels as point of view. Meaning like in season 1 when they are playing tag, You can see the camera from the bushes. Later on, Phil decided to emerge from the bushes which kind of hinted that that POV was actually Phil's Eyes. On manga, there were POV at Ray and Emma talking and then a few panels after, Phil emerged from that direction which indicated that it was his. This lead to the theory that Phil was really active and know more than what is shown in manga and anime. The book cover also tells a lot. In the books, all children was looking at one side and the one who knows the plan for escape, Ray, Emma, the other 3 older ones look at the other direction. Oh, did I mention that among all the younger kids, Phil is the only on looking at Emma's direction? There's a lot of subtle interpretations in the Manga which was also in the season 1 of the anime then they decided to scrap it hoping to do something better than what the original author wants. Imagine a company having a deal with Apple and made a new cellphone but instead of apple, they decided to put ORANGE as a logo and claim it theirs. That's what happened in this one. It's legally stealing. It's like those parody videos where you take a clip of something and make a new complete series out of it but only using the title as a bait since it's popular.

They also never went back to: - Sonju literally saying that he can't wait to eat wild humans (which is so important considering he was taking care of all of those kids for a couple days) - The secret that the demon whispered to Isabella's ear when she was in prison (the demon was going to kill her, but said he would spare her if she brought all of the kids back and then whispered another thing she would be rewarded with) - THEY NEVER TALKED ABT THOSE SOLDIERS THAT RAIDED THE SHELTER? YOU'RE TELLING ME SOLDIERS WITH GUNS WERE DEFEATED BY LITTLE KIDS WITH BOWS AND ARROWS????? - They never talked more about Ray being Isabella's son, one of the biggest plot twists in the show. - They also made Phil seem so important, I was expecting a whole episode (at least) dedicated to him making a plan with the other kids to escape, since he seemed like Emma v2. - They never talked about the guy with a paper bag over his head, or the room that had scribbles on the walls (Yuugo's room in the manga). - There was also no emotion when Peter killed himself, like when Isabella apologized to the children, his body and blood just disappeared lol. - Also they forgave Isabella so easily??? I just feel bad for the animators who are so underpaid and making barely enough money to live, spending hours away from their family to make something to make they believed would be good. I need to know how the producers sleep at night knowing they did this.

[@ken-wc2tm]

It makes me so upset how they just, never talked about Ray being Isabella's son after it was originally brought up. Did the other kids even know?? Or was it a secret between the two of them?? It makes no sense. Another thing somewhat related; in the manga, Isabella pulls out some note from Ray in like one of the short stories at the end but we never find out what the note says. Like hello?? What was on the note?? She says the note could destroy her, what did your 12 year old son write that could destroy you???

Emma not interacting with Asyhe was a huge opportunity both the Manga and Anime wasted. That would have added genuine weight as to why Emma doesn't want to kill the Demons. Because Ayshe existence show the potential compassion towards humans.

[@blackcat80yearsago96]

Literally I had this idea forever. Emma should've taken that decision after she meet Asyhe, and heck they should've added some plot while they were searching for the 7 walls about demon society. Maybe even use the ancestors more as to why humans and demons even coexist in the first place. It just hurts seeing so much potential wasted. Emma wanting to save demons just came out of the blue, especially after you read the first chapters of Goldy Pond arc when she looked so determined on killing them after she witnessed the hunts. The manga also shot itself in the foot by making Norman's plan too perfect. there were no consequences for the genocide besides the fact that the idea of it is bad which wasn't convincing for me at least, considering everything that happened prior. Not to mention things came conveniently to Norman as well by escaping Lambda so effortlessly. Idk, I think they should've wrote the manga in parts. end it after the Goldy Pond, then start a new with ideas already planned out and preferably have a whole part dedicated to the ancestors and their history. Wishful thinking but I can't help it.

It’s true, I feel like if it did a little bit better, or if some parts were not as rushed it could have possibly gotten close to being as good as AOT (which until recently I hadn’t seen any of attack on Titan, and by god, what a masterpiece (I just finished season 3 so one more to go))

[@AhsokaJackson]

@Madison Francis Glad to hear you've gotten into Shingeki no Kyojin!! It really is such a magnificent series. And I agree-I definitely saw the parallels in the 2 shows. And it felt like Promised Neverland wanted a more hopeful take, perhaps, but really cut corners to get there. And I had really loved the first season and was very excited about the second one, as well. I've already watched the longer video about the manga, and now I'm glad I waited on the anime. Why? Because I would've been confused and then gutted with the changes (how the anime removed so much!), plus the manga itself probably wouldn't have been the best use of time. It's really unfortunate.

[@aiae17]

The plot was so DIFFERENT and Amazing for me. I didn't expect The promised Neverland to be something like this. A sweet, loving mom, happy kids and a starting filled with happy times to have a BIG plot twist. I was really impressed. The plot twists were totally unpredictable. I though The Promised Neverland might be another boring classic anime. The season 1 was too amazing for me and the way they just tortured season 2, I wanna sue them.

[@3takoyakis]

Oh god not the gantz It has amazing ideas, creative monster, good lore, and variation of characters. The story is simple: you died, here's a MIB job to get your life back, get points based on your mission and if you don't want to life back you can exchange it for better weapons and keep fighting like a doom slayer. The characters isn't just normal human, there's vampire and physic guy. But oh boy the ending is just terrible. It also has TONS of plot holes. It's not that I care, but it feels a miss potential to use it in story. I found it from a gacha game collab and it's one of my fav manga ideas if not for the plot holes and stupid ending

[@kittykat896]

@@apbeat9455 Shueisha is in the TPN Committee along with Aniplex. They produced ie invested in this project and hold the purse strings, controlling the written script and allocated money which they hired Cloverworks with. Cloverworks is just an animation studio and don't have the ability to make executive decisions. Nor is their involvement due to desire for an anime they think will make a lot of DVD sales because they aren't reliant on DVD sales since they aren't producers. Aniplex is and yes they didn't want to invest much and didn't want the series to keep going. They did help write the script and we're ok with Shueisha butchering it but only later after a certain point. Why? They made sure the first few episodes adapted the manga source more in hopes it would boost S1 DVD sales from hyped excited fans watching season 2. Cloverworks though are just an animation studio that takes whatever projects they get hired to do. They aren't investors, they're paid staff. SJ axed TPN when that investment started to stagnate and dip in sales in later volumes (SJ will axe a series with very little time to wrap up hence why the speed run in the last few chapters; they only gave the manganka a few chapters to wrap it all up and the lackluster response to the later half of the manga is why sales dipped but it was only in the last few chapters where the manga content suddenly turns into a huge rush ahead to the end cause that is when they got the final order to finish it up, and only in so-and-so amount of space/weeks) This is the reason why they axed it quick and invested the smallest amount of funds they could to adapt this season 2 project. Why? Because them investing a small amount leading to a shitty adaptation makes manga sales in their previous manga investment that stagnated, boost which garners higher net profit returns, while at the same time a new invested manga serialization that took it's place in SJ mag, would've had enough time to start gathering a fan base which will get a fresh batch of profit returns. And part of the end push for profit in TPN is supposed to help carry into the time that's needed for the new investment that took it's place, to start garner a profit for itself. That way no amount or the less amount of time there is, where there's not a continuous growth of profit accumulation.

[@gabetalks9275]

In an interview right after S1 ended, the director already confirmed that they were going anime original, even though there was no need to. The manga is already complete. They gave the excuse that the ending was disliked, but all they needed to do was slow the pacing down and fill in the manga's holes. Instead they rushed the anime at quadruple the speed of the manga. I'm convinced that CloverWorks only brought in Shirai at the last minute for damage control and just for him to do nothing but tell what plot points they need forcibly and lazily shoehorn in at the last minute. I doubt Shirai would ever have allowed this to happen if CloverWorks gave him real authority when he did everything the anime did infinitely better. I feel so bad for Shirai. Not only did CloverWorks ruin his story, but they ruined it while spoiling it in the process. I wouldn't be surprised if Shirai demanded a remake. This is just an unacceptable adaptation.

[@flamie-1023]

Apparently they decided to go with this whole semi-anime original ish approach because they weren't happy with how the manga ended which is fair as it seems that the author rushed it. But instead of "improving" it, i think they just tried to make it "cleaner". I believe the main reason they remove the whole goldy pond arc was to not make the story too convoluted even tho their sacrificing one of the best arcs in the entire series, doing this means that they don't have to deal with introducing all those kids from the goldy pond arc which gives them a much lower amount of people to work with and to develop. Following the core structure of the story whilst not deviating too much and introducing too much plot points in the story. On paper it seems fine and understandable to do. But i think they misjudged what exactly caused the downfall of the manga and they tried to introduce something that they thought would seem natural to implement in the plot and everyone would be fine with it, but they never bothered to fix the already existing issues that they were trying to fix in the first place that would led them to the desired ending that they want. And this might be a hunch, but i think they might have realized this at the end bit of this adaptation which what caused the whole ppt presentation of an ending... So in the end, i think the author was too overwhelmed with the convoluted storyline she created in the manga, introducing way too much characters that she can't possible develop and explore them all, and i think she realized that at some point, with time against her, she had to just end it there and i guess she wanted to fix it all in the anime. So she made it extremely clean here removing all the stuffs that made the story too complicated but she completely dodged all the other issues in the story. So instead of actually trying to fix the story, she and the studio just erased everything that they thought were causing issues. Unfortunately, it didn't went so convenient for them as it did for emma.... Just a thought to share ^•^

The only major difference is that Root A covered the end of TG's first manga so that it can eventually get 2 more seasons to rush through the TG:re manga. Neverland doesn't have a continuation, and it probably shouldn't get one.

I personally really liked the second half of the promised Neverland manga. While it wasn't as good as the escape ark and the GP ark it still had its moments that touched my heart. Yes the writing could have been better and the direction wasn't the best but damn, (spoilers) Emma losing her memories hurt me more than I will admit. (End of spoiler) but even with all its flaws I still loved it to the end.

ik, honestly the only thing i didn’t like was everyone only listening to emma and just agreeing with everything she says and ray becoming a background character

[@user-qr8co6hp4r]

This season was such a let down, and they could’ve easily avoided this if they stuck with the manga and changed what went wrong within the manga, plot holes, and other flaws to make this season a near damn masterpiece

[@harmoniesplus1345]

Exactly

[@delvon3932]

Try Shadows House, it has some same aspect and vibes just like TPN but at least that series is much more planned out.

Haven’t watched one of your videos in quite a while and I have to say the way you’re talking, the projection and inflections in your voice are different. They’re more hyped but feel more natural of someone who makes these kinds of videos. It’s not so cold and calculated that it feels like only a die hard fan could understand where you’re coming from. Phrases like “forty minute chonky boy” really help keep what you’re doing alive, so to speak. Keep it up.

Tokyo Ghoul say's "Hi, first time?"

[@Varz-w8y]

I’m so angry with this it’s honestly crazy how they skipped everything. We could’ve got so many seasons from this……could’ve been a literal 9/10 anime

[@ryuugaeisen8946]

MY COMPLAINTS: (may have spoilers) -slideshow of what could be the next big thing for Emma and her group (adventures and stuff) - the lack of portrayal towards Ray being Isabella's biological son and was like set aside. I may be selfish but gimme some pov or some sort. - Yeah, Yuugo's GONE. NOT A SIGHT OF HIM. NO EXPLANATION FOR THE WORDS/NAMES WRITTEN ON THE WALL. - THE HELL SONJU'S DOING? LAST I HEARD, U LIKE THE THOUGHT OF EMMA AND OTHERS TO ESCAPE TO BREED, SO CAN LIKE EAT. YET HELP THEM GET TO THE GATE TO ESCAPE THE WORLD?? -Ray was like the one following Emma and norman. Its like to begin with, it wasnt emma who was able to catch up to the two geniuses, but it was Ray instead. -ah yes, their norman and lamda's experiments lives' were also not taken seriously. We didnt even see them make the cure.

If you want an extended version of TPN first arc then maybe you should try and read Shadows House. You might find it even better than TPN in terms of story, plot and the consistency of the horror/mystery aspec of the series....

[@xiilfox871]

I've heard others theorize about what happened. The one theory that made sense to me was that they were ordered to end the story within the season. If that is the case, I kinda understand why they had to do it like this. Yeah it does feel very very rushed but they tried to keep events in the manga relevant still. Yeah the "slideshow" didnt make sense but they kinda just put it to show us that they still happened even if they didnt have time for it.

The Promised Neverland anime has so much potential if they actually give the time needed

[@abigailnorton1548]

It felt like for both anime and manga that the creators just wanted to be done with it. If I recall the author only wanted 20 volumes so that’s why everything was wrapped up so quickly. It’s unfortunate.

[@boopbeep2310]

I don't even understand why they would cut all the best shit out of the anime😭😭😭 This is a murder

[@kokichisscarf92]

right like goldy pond imo was literally the best arc in the entire story besides the grace field arc, and then there is literally NO clues or hints anywhere that it even existed…like why bro, it could’ve been so good
