| Damn, Peter Ratri's death was kinda brutal, ngl. Most of the kids, alongside the sisters and mamas, returned to Earth and seemingly had a decent childhood - which I gather from the various shots at the end of the ep. Emma, Ray, Norman, and the Lambda defects stayed behind to change the demon world alongside Mujica and Sonju. From the ending, it seems they managed to achieve just that. Hooray, I guess. Aside from all the happiness from achieving their goal, I gotta say that ending was kinda funny. I was fine up until Mujica was being crowned, and then I just burst out laughing. That image of Emma and Mujica tho is screenshot worthy. I've got mixed feelings about this season as a whole, something I knew would happen considering the score and that I am anime-only. Production-wise it was worse than season 1, and there were fewer impressive uses of camerawork, which is kind of disappointing. I'll be honest, in the end, I am unsure if any of the cut content would mend that ending or improve upon the narrative. Tbh, I don't plan on reading the manga anytime soon to figure that one out. |

| I didn’t know that Powerpoint is an animation tool lol Thank you CloverWorks for giving me confidence in making my own anime |
 |
| "The Promised Neverland" yeah because the promise never delivered, what an awful season |
 |
| I don't know how bad it was in the Manga but as a tach guy, how this pass QA tests? Horrible to the greatest degree. They really made out this ending about Phil for some reason. Also, a slideshow? Seriousely? I'm so disappointed. Time to rea the Manga I guess. |
| worst anime episode of all time |
| Tbh I admit some part actually feels weird--especially the ending, maybe because I already used with what happened in the manga, but its not as bad as I expected. |
 |
| average ending to a generally disappointing season. Although I heard the manga ending elicits a similar reaction, it just reeks of squandered potential. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Never knew that speedrunning could also exist in an anime. They weren't lying about the powerpoint presentation. 3/10 |
 |
| That ending was absolutely hilarious. At first I thought Emma and co staying would be an offensive trashy sequel bait but then they showed slide show of every important moment the anime skipped (except a fucking Goldy Pond of course) over the course of like 1 minute lmao. At times I thought that anime original scenes during the Norman attack are pretty good but those were so few and far between that season 2 should be just forgotten. I feel sorry for animators, voice actors and composers since they had to work on this one. What an utter garbage |
| Very controversial ending... I'm just confused why they would show so much content like that in 30 secs haha. Season should've ended with Emma deciding not to go through the gate. What's worse is now anime-only fans like myself have been spoiled. So even if I switch to the manga, I know Emma is bound to reunite with Phil in the human world and have a happy ending. Apart from that I really enjoyed this season and thought it wasn't worth the hate, despite a few plot conveniences. |

| Wait so Minerva was fine with children being sacrificed because the ancestors of these kids were people wanting to continue the war? - What does offspring have to do with the choices their ancestors made? - I guess even Minerva was kind of an ass. The ending ... I like where the story went but to just skip over everything at the end ... felt lazy. First off, the pacing was way too fast, not even compared to season 1 but just in general. Everything felt way too convenient, detracting from the mystery the first season had, also meaning there was no suspense what so ever. You can easily tell after watching this season that it needed at least 1 or 2 more seasons to fully explore this world, it started out alright but then after the first 3 episodes we went from finding a bunker to magically saving the entire world in 8 episodes. The conflicts were resolved pretty much as fast as they were created. I wanted more backstory on the Demon King and the demons in general, more stuff on the Ratri clan, the way the farms started, Lambda, more mystery in general. But instead we got a straight forward story that told us exactly what to think and feel and just as we managed to get a small taste of what's to come after Season 1 it was gone just like that in these 11 episodes. I wanted to give it a 7/10 because I did have a good time watching it but the more I write my thoughts and realize what it could've been ... I just can't rate it higher than a 6/10 I haven't read the manga but I can easily understand the outrage this season got and I definitely understand the score it has. What a massive drop in story telling from 1 season to the other, from a masterpiece to just another forgettable season. |
 |
| Honestly not as bad as i was expecting from all the people saying it was bad. It's not great, it's not good but it's not as bad as people make it to be. I didn't read the manga and i'm about to do it but watching the anime first, i doubt my view will change all that much. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Janky pacing, has more plot convenience than Demon Slayer, no new characters introduced that are remotely interesting (because they removed them from the original manga), inconsistent characterization, and we get a rushed ending with a slideshow. They butchered a solid manga, unbelievable, the ending should be at least covered in season 3 but the producers probably saw TPN as a liability and threw it away with a rushed second season. In conclusion, I will gaslight myself to believe that this season didn't exist; it is a figment of my imagination, I merely looked at my screen for roughly 4 and a half hours. The series ended with the first season. |
 |
| This feels really rushed, like it should have been a longer season or split this into 2 or something. It is a shame as I really loved the first season so much. |
 |
| WHAT?! WHAT!!! The human side is huge cities with completely modern technology with planes and such?! WHAT?! DO YOU NOT SEE WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM?! "Oh yea, we can't go conquer the other half of the world because 1000 years ago we made a promise to feed children to wild animals." THIS The entire logic of this world has completely fallen apart; not that it hasn't already with all the GOD MIRACLE CONVENIENCES... At least when it was the idea of like either this is a demon world, or demons invaded and enslaved humanity, at least that works. Now the world is literally, "oh yea, we have no problem with the child farms happening a few miles from where we live, its fine..." Hell, let's even drop the morality angle "Oh look, there is literally half the planet in basically undefended tribal villages with just spears and a few rifles we probably sold to them since the series has basically proven that the demons don't have manufacturing, let's go conquer it for resources!" -- "But sir, 1000 years ago, we made a promise we couldn't" "LITERALLY LOL. K. A conquerer here we go." |

| Nearly after 3 years, I rewatched season 2 specifically of Promised Neverland just to remind myself how bad it was and yep, it is still the most bullshit season of anime I've ever experienced. Might be one of the few seasons that deserve a negative rating (and the original season is one of my favorite anime lol). Watching this weekly was bad, but binging it all after a few years altogether is somehow much worse and issues are more and more noticeable. Plot points either completely skipped over illogically, volumes upon volumes of content being condensed to a PowerPoint presentation like bullet points frame by frame, over-reliance of conveniences when the first season's content was so intricate with its details, stripping away any source of tension that the first season masterfully did to have everything be solved so easily and quickly without any ounce of struggle... this is an incredible masterpiece of pure failure. Character arcs for Norman, Isabella and many more, absolutely wasted. Final antagonist... barely got a couple seconds to establish anything as a character. Art and direction... completely meaningless and hollow. 3 years later and still unreal a show that had such a great first season got treated like this with the source material lol. It does help that unlike in 2021, I had expectations of failure rewatching this and nothing more but it is just incredible to see something like this exist. No wonder the original season and this season has the largest gap I think between seasons from the same franchise. The last few minutes legit felt like two-three seasons were in there before the 'satisfying climax to the journey'. What a joke. |
