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.

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 ... here and there (that may figure itself in a second watch)

Overall I enjoyed this season and think I would rewatch it again back to back and see if I missed out on any extra small details that help build up the story. I miss the characters already.

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 ... own research and figured out why so many people were hating on second 2, it easy to understand why people would hate on the seasons 2 adaption, if i finished season 1 and I wanted to know more what happened after the anime ended I would definitely read the manga, after reading the manga and having amazing and great arcs anybody would be hyped as a manga reader to see season 2 get a adaption, just to find out that the anime took a entire different approach and ignore the amazing arcs the manga had to offer and gave us a Google slideshow ending and that's it, while people who finished season 1 should watch what happens in season 2, just don't mention season 2 being a thing and reading the manga online

This sequel fully deserves the rating it has.

I'm sure, by now, all that had to be said has already been said in the numerous negative reviews. But I'll add to the pile anyway.
The second season has a massive tone-shift from the first. It is a completely different genre and doesn't hold up to even 1% of the first season. It is as if an isekai writer — and not even a good one at that — has picked up the series and was tasked with ending it.
Well, he ended it alright. Ran it straight into the ground.

The events of the second series pick up exactly ... where the first one left off. And we're immediately shoved into this new magical world full of wonders and dangers... that do not resemble the fauna and flora of the farm in the slightest. It's as if our children lived in Sandy Cheeks's underwater habitat and suddenly, when they go past the wall, they're in Bikini Bottom. I don't think I have to elaborate why that is just bad writing.

But all that is fine. You changed the setting, you changed the dynamic, you changed the goals. That is all peachy.
Where is stops being peachy is around the halfway mark. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you thought things were bad until here, they suddenly plummet.

Massive character assassinations, all for the sake of progressing the plot. A stupid plot to begin with. And, of course, a very anime-ish Heel-Face Turn because god forbid our protagonists stand for what they believed in 5 minutes ago.
Now if you thought episodes 7 or 8 were a plummet, from here it's like a piece of shit detaching from a falcon doing a skydive at 200km/h.

Massive plot holes and very, extremely, unequivocally poor — both in taste and execution — plot twists that frankly serve no purpose and are set up and revealed in like a span of 5 minutes.
Heck, one of them is set up at the end of an episode and immediately revealed at the beginning of the very next, right after the intro. In fact, had they waited with the plot twist like 5 minutes, they might have had some suspense there for a second, but the action scene that follows lands flat on its face because of this.

And to top it all off, we don't even get an impactful ending to the story. The best analogy I have for that ending is: you're falling to your death; the end is in sight; you can taste it! The sweet release of death after an arduous journey. But just before you hit the ground, you actually fall on a whoopee cushion (like a small one, not big enough to save your life) that makes a fart sound and literally ruins even your death.

I cannot comprehend how we can go from a season 1 that, I would argue, rivals the writing levels of Death Note (both in tension and intensity) to a season 2 that is a subpar isekai.
My advice: consider the ending of season 1 as all there is. The kids escaped and they lived happily ever after. The end.
You can come up with head cannon that is better than this.
