Synopsis

Emma, Ray, and the rest of the older children have escaped the confines of the Grace Field House. However, with relentless demons set on capturing them, their arduous battle for freedom has only just begun.

Despite venturing into the treacherous wilderness, the children remain optimistic due to their possession of books written by William Minerva. Coded within his books are messages detailing the world outside the farm—information that can help them survive with the limited resources they have. But when their pursuers draw near, the children soon encounter their most dreadful situation yet.

In Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season, the children struggle to survive in the strange ruthless world, striving to find a sanctuary they can truly call home.

This anime knows how to keep me on the edge of my seat and give me heart palpitations due to its intensity (but I love it!). The character development was lovely to see and I enjoyed how the designs of the characters came to be also. Seeing the characters grow and develop really meant a lot to me after witnessing them in season 1 and I feel astho the anime managed to do them justic.

Good points:
- Art Style
- Unpredictability of what will happen next
- Satisfying ending
- Good balance of happy moments and intense moments

Bad points:
- I have brief questions about the odd tiny detail ...

Mixed Feelings

so now that's I've finish binged watching season 1 and 2, and I can say that it has recently been the most enjoyable anime I've seen, now coming into season 2, I've heard so much talk about season 2 being the biggest flop in all of anime, and as I getting closer and closer to the end of season 2, I never really seen anything wrong with the anime, since I've only heard bad things about the season 2 but never really finding out why since I didn't wanna spoil myself. after I finished the show, it was amazing, but now that I did my ...

*No Spoilers*
This review is for Season 2 of The Promised Neverland, orYakusoku no Neverland. Season 2 of The Promised Neverland makes significant changes to the source material (manga), though this review is focused solely on the content of the anime and does not include comparisons to the manga.

Summary:
Season 2 of The Promised Neverland follows Emma after she and the other orphans escape from Grace Field orphanage. Overall, the quality of the story and characters declines significantly from season one. Watching and stopping at the end of season 1 may be a more positive experience than following up with season 2 due to the dip in ... quality.

Story: 3/10
The plot of season 2 completely disregards the flow of season 1; that is, the characters’ intelligence and teamwork is replaced with plot armor, plot convenience, and a complete lack of disregard for a cohesive story. If the characters are under attack, don’t worry, they’ve probably got nuclear warheads in their shirts to defend themselves. Likewise, the story immediately changes from witty characters to physically fit “heroes” that suddenly know how to perform bow and arrow shots like a “360 no-scope.” The arcs jump around and barely transition, often resulting in plot holes and a lack of general unity. By the end, the accountability for the characters is almost nonexistent. Are there dark themes being explored? Sort of. Are they being explored in a meaningful way? Absolutely not. The story seems to focus on melodrama and action with characters’ arcs even starting and finishing in a matter of minutes. By the end, it doesn’t really matter what happens. The characters are unbreakable for no reason. For a show that started up with children literally being raised for slaughter, you’d think the characters would have to face some tragic consequences. Instead, the story completely detracts from the tone of season one and makes a mockery of the themes. Additionally, there are laughable, terribly written scenes with characters laughing about their own starvation and excited about suggested genocide. The story is sporadic and blatantly rushed and condensed. If there were multiple episodes to explore these themes and scenarios, then maybe the show would still have its charm. Instead, it’s just a clump of ideas strewed together with no impact and a variety of plot holes. The biggest issue with this type of story is that it follows the first season which was generally well thought out and meaningful.

Art: 5/10
The opening scene of episode one is just a bunch of repeated frames with poor voice-overs. Otherwise, the art is about average.

Sound: 5/10
The music is slightly above average, though the voice acting is moderate at best. Portraying children is difficult and even harder when the characters are made to laugh at absurd times (like starvation or genocide).

Characters: 2/10
Any good story has good characters. This story does not. Season 2 is so rushed that there are literally character arcs occurring over the course of minutes with bizarre monologues in inconvenient settings. Season 1 had unique and complex characters. Instead, season 2 focuses on plot and strips the characters of intelligence. Their 1-deminesional writing ruins the whole premise of the show. The viewer originally roots for Emma and Ray (no spoilers) because they are smart, driven, courageous, and able to outsmart the oppressive adults and demons. In season 2, nothing matters. They are not challenged morally and do not face repercussions for their actions. Instead, solutions are literally (no specific spoilers) fed to other characters. If a character makes a horrific decision, they face zero consequences. Imagine knowing someone who begins to commit genocide, only to find out that they decided to stop because they heard a person’s name. Now, imagine actually writing this character after re-introducing them as a separate plot twist. The characters are genuinely laughable.

Enjoyment: 2/10
Watching this was a waste of time. It completely ruined an initially compelling story. As someone who did read the manga and did not like the source material’s second 2/3 nearly as much as the first 3 arcs (season 1 of the anime), I am genuinely in awe that season 2 is such a mess. Sure, I didn’t like the final 2/3 of the manga, but it was still a reasonably decent work of art. This is a whole new level of disappointment. It’s like preparing for a wedding and paying $50 for a haircut knowing that it may not be the best haircut, but you find out that they actually charge you $500 dollars and shave off the left side of your head, including your ear.

Overall: 3.4
