Are you liking this season as an anime only?

With the recent outrage of how they've adapted this second season, furious manga readers have taken to the forums to express their disgust at the direction that the story has taken.

It's not like what happened to Tokyo Ghoul in the later seasons, where the story got incredibly confusing and poorly written. This 2nd season isn't confusing at all. It's just crybaby manga readers can't handle the anime only part of it.

These manga reading trolls should be held accountable for this score, unfortunately nothing can really done about it. A shame.

I'm anime only, I'm enjoying the season so far, but the outcry from the manga readers has made me curious, so I'll possibly read the manga after it's finished.

This season has been underwhelming for me as an anime only so far. It's moving too fast and too slow at the same time, it's weird.

As a Manga and Anime viewer of the Promised Neverland, I will say it's not as bad as the score states. But in terms of story, Manga readers are outraged because the most anticipated arc was taken out. Imma try and not spoil but essentially the arcs primary focus was on Emma and her skills when it came to outmaneuvering the demons. Not to mention bring up many important details. Not to mention, it took manga readers over 100 chapters to see Norman again. Comparing the two stories, the anime is a lot faster and almost seems like they're trying to end it this season.

I just hope that the ending of the anime is better than the Manga. That ending was disappointing to say the least.

Anime-only here, and honestly if there weren't any Manga readers around to explain the missing bits and pieces that which were skipped on, I would be incredibly confused on half the shit that's going on. Even now, I have multiple questions, like wtf were those guys with the guns? Poachers or working with demons? Or the random ass timeskip out of nowhere.

I feel like their outrage should definitely be dedicated to their own reddit forums if they can, but honestly even anime-only watchers would be absolutely pissed. Whether manga reader or anime-only, you're gonna get toxicity on either spectrum.

Even as an anime only, this season is noticeably much worse than the first, I enjoyed the first 3 episodes fine, but it just went rapidly downhill in every way from there

Even for anime onlies they found this season disappointing.So your take doesn't hold.
This 2nd season isn't confusing at all.

If it isn't confusing at all then can you explain why the bunker was there in the first place?

I as a manga reader and anime watcher really didn't like the fact that it drifted away from the manga so much but it's still a solid season 2 Yes it has some flaws like being so rushed but does it deserve all the hate it's getting? No it doesn't.

The outage of the manga readers.of the Promised Neverland went too far...
If you're an anime only and find season 2 good (but maybe not better than the first) just don't put too much thought into it and enjoy it if you want 2

I don’t like all the manga readers hating on the second season. However, so far, season 2 is objectively worse than season 1. There is little of the horror of season 1, instead it’s a pretty low stakes adventure show. I think there is too much plot armor around the characters. How are small kids able to out run 8 foot demons?

You would know how are they able to kill demons if you read manga. That's the point. They skipped it in the YnN✓A.

Anime-original directions aren't inherently bad, and there have been some that I have loved (the best example of which that I can think of is Kekkai Sensen season 1). The problem is, even ignoring the manga (which manga readers are in the right to be upset about the loss of Goldy Pond and related characters) the original direction does not work well, and it's a fair criticism. For example, the pacing is awful—just look at the Norman reveal—and that's something that doesn't have much to do with skipping content.

As an anime viewer only, I do find it annoying that manga readers are super loud about their anger. The season isn't over yet, so I'm still waiting for more details.

I just wish people would remember that the ones making the show have their own reasons for their decisions. Stop ruining it for the rest of us.

they skipped over 60 chapters in the middle of the story, and by the looks of it they will skip some more and rush straight to the end this season. i don't mind it much cause i'm curious how they will play it out and i welcome alternative adapations, but you can understand why some people would be bothered.

Why isn't anyone considering that Yuugo might be one among the people who are with Norman now... And also Goldy pond arc might not be skipped... We might get a similar story with Emma, Ray and Norman instead of just Emma and Ray as in the manga version

I mean they literally skipped 50 chapters all of what season 2 was supposed to be and it’s an amazing arc idk why they just skipped over it especially because some important characters are introduced in that arc that are supposed to play major roles in what’s happening right now so I have no idea what’s happening with the anime

is not how the adaptation is going, but rather the fact that they went on "anime only" route, which breaks the pacing it was coming from.

So basically a top 10 seller manga will no longer get it's proper adaptation without any reason, the manga is done and although the final arc has mixed feelings from the viewership, the goldy pond arc they just skip was the best from my point of view, of course everyone would get mad.

Now, does that mean this season is bad? not necessarily, that depends on everyone, but since they either skipped or went on an original story route, the pacing is all over the place and the time that was supposed to advance and all the character development is gone, if they continue with the manga story i would say it is bad, explaining the beginning and the ending but not the context, if they went anime only we can only wait and see.

Manga readers:"Arcs after escape from grace field are not as good as the first one, it's so average and disappointing"
Also manga readers when the studio attempting to make their own version:


Just fyi i don't read the manga, but holy shit i found a lot of people saying the first thing in season 1 forums or even other platforms like twitter and YT comments back then..
I know not all of them represent all fans, but c'mon..
Also not saying this original version is "great", but it's pretty clear the score going down hill soo fast has something to do with the manga readers throwing tantrum, since i never seen an anime experienced things like this in less than what, one-two weeks? Heck even Akame ga kill was treated better by community and that anime is even worse than this imo..

Hard disagree. I’ll admit, I read the manga, and enjoyed it a fair bit. Even if the anime doesn’t follow the source material doesn’t mean it can’t be a good original adaptation. But that’s the thing, it’s not.

The direction the anime is going isn’t aiming to fix the numerous issues presented in the latter half of the manga, nor is it very interesting to begin with. The reason for this is that all the mystery and the dilemma of these kids discovering this new world, something that made the original so great was either cut, or very poorly executed with not much else to make up for it. Sure, it may have good sound and visuals, but does that really make up for the bare bones story we’re getting? Clover works is butchering this, and I thing manga readers and anime onlys have a validity to hate the direction this season is going.

I wouldn't mind if it was actually an anime original like they claimed it to be. Instead the anime is just skipping certain ( arguably best ) arcs and important info, while not adding new stuff at all. It's just a rushed, incomplete version of the manga and not a story that can stand on its own. It's pretty confusing at this point.

The first half of the season was god-awful to be fair, and if they were heavily invested in the thought of a close anime-manga adaptation then their criticisms are understandable.

The episode today at least kept me interested until the end without feeling the need to fast forward it.

I started reading the manga but I didn't get past the first 2 episodes in comparison to the show. From what I've seen not knowing what was going to happen, it feels really rushed and a lot of things go unexplained. On that part alone it feels really weird, because season 1 really took its time and felt a lot more balanced.

I haven't read the manga yet, but simply put the first season was full of tense situations that were solved in very satisfying ways. In this season, on the other hand, the few tense situations that manages to create are solved by deus ex machina which makes it just boring.
