Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season

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.

Review: The Promised Neverland Season 2 has been polarizing, but for those who haven't read the acclaimed manga, this season might just feel like a thrilling continuation of the story. Without the context of the manga's intricate details and broader plot, the second season condenses its narrative into a more straightforward, action-packed, and emotionally charged experience.

For anime-only viewers, this season can often feel like an adrenaline rush compared to the suspenseful and atmospheric first season. The new adventures beyond Grace Field House present bold choices and quick resolutions, giving a sense of urgency and closure. Key moments are still impactful, and the relationships between Emma, ... Ray, and the children remain heartfelt and engaging.

However, the compression of major arcs and the exclusion of certain fan-favorite elements from the manga might leave manga readers disappointed. For anime-first fans, though, the second season may feel like an inventive and satisfying continuation, unburdened by comparisons.

Verdict: If you didn't read the manga, Season 2 of The Promised Neverland could resonate even more than its predecessor, offering a fast-paced, emotionally resonant ride that brings the children's journey full circle. If you're looking for the deeper complexities of the story, the manga still stands as the definitive version. In a vacuum however, you'd be lying to yourself that this isn't a better watch than season 1.

Mixed Feelings

Ok so hear me out, I read the manga right after S1 aired so my hopes were over the roof and when this season came out my hopes were shattered.

However, if you perhaps haven't read the manga then you will not be disappointed. The animation is good, the visuals are stunning and the quality is pretty amazing too.

It's just that in the manga, it's 10x better. This season omitted A LOT of characters and a few amazing and thrilling arcs.

The fights and suspense in the anime could not compare to the thrill I felt when reading the manga.

I feel like they could have made the ... plot follow the manga a lot more. If not exactly the same then atleast keep the fan favourite arc(s) and characters.

Overall, I'll give this review a mixed feeling because even though I was heavily disappointed with the adaptation, one could still enjoy watching it if you ignore a few stuff.

Let me start by saying my opinion is of someone who has only ever seen the anime. I do not enjoy revealing or being subjected to spoilers, so I will try my best to stray from them.

Now, with that out of the way, this second season simply...sucked. I loved the first season enough to give it a 10, and it held such a special place in my heart. The construction of the episodes, the tension, the atmosphere—I can keep listing all the positives of the 1st season. It laid the foundation for something that was both promising and quite interesting, especially for a horror ... fan such as myself. It clicked all the boxes. The 2nd season simply...destroyed all of that. In almost an instant. It was boring and predictable. What started out as good horror was now very close to....well, a fairytale. And, as much as that might have been fine for a different anime, I couldn't accept it for "The Promised Neverland." Not every issue can be resolved with a 5-minute talk; not every person or creature is going to see eye-to-eye with you. Not everyone is as naive and...I wanna say stupid, but Emma fans will probably chastise me for that :D That's how she felt to me, though—just another self-righteous character, and I've grown to hate them since they're like in every second anime. And that does NOT make for an interesting story or character development. Actually, what character development? She didn't develop; she downgraded... Not to mention the terribly rushed ending which honestly made zero sense.

I don't know if it was the author; I don't know if it was the studio that created this atrocity. Whoever it was ruined the greatness that "The Promised Neverland" used to be. My reason for giving it a 6? I guess a bit of nostalgia and how sorry I feel for the 1st season.
