| One thing that the whole series should get from this episode should be the direction. It was great this episode. The rest was ok. |
| Another thing I just thought about... correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the point of Ray being a spy for Mom so he would be safe? Why is he going to be shipped out now? If it's a spoiler or anything I don't need to know, but I feel like I may have missed something here. |
 |
| Another great episode. Sister Krone being creepy as usual. |
 |
| Damm that was a tense moment for Don and Gilda. Hmm to think that a person's been trying ton convey a message through books though. Seems the author already knew of the truth then. To think that Don and Gilda's recon would find the room where toys of the harvested are kept. Don's reaction is exactly why Emma and co didn't tell him the truth. Don's display of his true feelings though was an excellent scene backed by equally good music. Look's like their first trial in the form of Ray being the next shipment is finally here. Krone's olive branch sure was a surprising one though. Excellent ep. The split between Emma and the team figuring out the identity of the author and Don and Gilda's exploration sure was done well that ensured that this episode was a tense one. |

As he said this episode, next shipment is in the month of his birthday, so since all the kids are shipped before they turn 12, he naturally thought it will be him. |

I thought he meant being a spy for Mom would mean he would have a chance to not be shipped out at all. I guess I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying. |

Lawliet3rd said: nightcrawlercyp said: I would not say I gave a lot of thought. It was just a what if I thought about. Making fast logical connections is what I do. But since you mentioned s3 do you think there will be any kind of resolution at the end of this season or will it be an open cliffhanger. I do not want details just to know if there will be some resolution at the end of the season. this arc is called the escape arc, don't worry there will be a resolution, these 6 episodes are just build up, the real shit start happening around ep 9 up to 11 where all hell breaks loose. s2 will be a bit boring if they decide to make it 12 eps, but s3 gonna be the best thing ever, remember this name 'goldy pond' That's the one arc I wish they will go through with the same pacing as the first episodes of this adaptation... It's notoriously slow even by the manga's standards and nearly killed it out of arc fadigue in a weekly basis. |
 |
| Phil found the Morse code? Bet he was pretending to play hide and seek too! He must be there to test how well Mom handles this situation. Phil, the real mastermind 👀 |
| Nice punch Don xD. |
| Don's emotions were very well portrayed this episode. Next we have Sister Krone, one of the most creepy character in the series make a move. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
Danpmss said: Just a curiosity: have you heard of War and Peace? Is a very good book, but the pacing is way slower. No problem with slow progress as long as there is progress. Anime like Fairy tail and One piece I dropped because of slow pacing. I mean 500 episodes and no resolution no progress is a bit more no? Generally my threshold is 200 episodes. If the anime does not have any significant development by then there is no point of watching.Lawliet3rd said: this arc is called the escape arc, don't worry there will be a resolution, these 6 episodes are just build up, the real shit start happening around ep 9 up to 11 where all hell breaks loose. s2 will be a bit boring if they decide to make it 12 eps, but s3 gonna be the best thing ever, remember this name 'goldy pond' That's the one arc I wish they will go through with the same pacing as the first episodes of this adaptation...

| That ending...damn! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Good episode, but also felt it was a little slow. Can't wait to see how the actual escape pans out in the end. And what was under the floorboards that Norman was looking at...?! In the beginning I was very tired of Emma's classic "I want to save everyone!!!" spiel, especially since as Ray keeps pointing out, realistically it's pretty frickin' hard to handle 30+ children (and that new baby....) and make sure they all survive. But as others point out and as it's been shown over time, all the children are pretty gifted and very physically fit, so perhaps it's not so naive to hope they really can do it. I liked that Emma acknowledged she'd been underestimating Don/Gilda, so maybe that's foreshadowing that all the children will end up being very capable of survival despite not being geniuses like her and Norman/Ray. A sadistic (or masochistic?) part of me still wants to see some suffering though so the escape doesn't have a 100% survival rate... I'm curious how Mama would try and stop them anyways, since the children are precious goods and it's probably most beneficial to not harm them, but if there ends up being a chase of some kind and she's desperate to not let them escape, accidents could definitely happen... but maybe as long as the brain isn't harmed, other bodily damage is considered acceptable?... I've kinda lost interest in Sister despite her ~intriguing offer~, she doesn't seem to advance further than "crazed villain with mental health issues" who will do anything to try and take Mama's place. She's kind of a wildcard in that her exaggerated and aggressive body movements makes me wonder if she'll end up really hurting one of the children in a burst of outrage. I am curious about her and Mama's pasts though, but I'm sure that's something to be covered way in the future. The morse code bit was neat, but it feels like "Minerva" won't be really relevant until some later time, probably season 2 if they make one... |

It's notoriously slow even by the manga's standards and nearly killed it out of arc fadigue in a weekly basis. Not only have I read War and Peace, I read longer and much slower novels at that. War and Peace has extraordinary build up and characterization behind its long-winded and detailed chapters. One Piece's manga never feel slow either, since there's so much happening at once in every single chapter with very few exceptions (the anime in other hand is a padding filler hell including repeated takes and flashbacks), and Fairy Tail... we don't talk about Fairy Tail from Oracion Seis and above. Yakusoku no Neverland's Goldy Pond arc is painfully slow paced because at a certain point (the major conflict) the pages don't really add anything to the content unlike pretty much every single chapter that came before it. Most of that part is just that, back and forth. And when we finally get the information that has been delayed for more months because of this chapter, most people were already done with waiting and due to that, the ratings really went down at that point, in a weekly perspective. Even outside the weekly perspective (tankobon-wise), if you see the volume reviews, that part is widely considered by far the least substantial part of a great manga. TL;DR Goldy Pond could have been twice as short if not more, while maintaining the same amount of significant content, unlike the arcs before it, which packed impeccable equilibrium with the presentation, execution and pacing for a mystery manga. Really hope this author don't try making any further attempts of action "boss fights". The anime would do a good job adapting it by fixing its mistakes and at least making the entire second half much shorter than what it was. |

| The story is starting to get so interesting, I really want to read the manga! For anyone who has read the manga, is it worth reading ahead? Is the story finished or still ongoing? Or should I just not bother and stick with the anime? |
 |
| Best anime of January 2019 |
| Brilliant episode. My Don feels. But that plothole though. Anyway, this anime has never failed to give me the feels and creeps thus far and I love it. |
 |
| I like where this is going. Them five and Sister are plotting into something to overtake Mama. |
| ok the kids are so smarter..... that does not even make them kids anymore |
 |
| i thought the music was really nice hopefully we get the next season in fall already strawberaetae said: Isabella didn't confirm Ray would be shipped next so I wonder who will really be shipped. She indeed didn't say anything, it was just Ray talking to himself, good observation. praisethevillain said: Don and Gilda were really dumb to go sneaking around in Mom's room. OF COURSE she noticed you swiped her key, Don! Which makes me wonder how they got away? Did Mom just leave after that kid gave her the key he found? Finally, Sister Krone. Man what a creepy reveal! Well done, it actually startled me. She's a little too jovial at times but I like her as a villain, and I knew someone would catch on to them sooner or later. I think she wants to team up with them to take down Mom, but obviously for her own benefit. . There are two entrances to that area from both sides, they didnt leave through the room they got in. Good line of thought with Krone, how do you think she will benefit from it? rurismashboom said: Brilliant episode. My Don feels. But that plothole though.

| Half-way through and still nothing significant has happened since the first episode. It's tiring when entire episodes are devoted to revealing what we - the viewers - already know. It's neither interesting or shocking watching Don and Gilda discover the information we've known since episode 1. Meh. |
| I love the tension in this episode. I was freaked out when Sister suddenly came out LOL Can't wait for the next one! |
  |
| I actually liked this episode best because there was some tension. The discovery of the morse code and the fact that there may be people outside the wall who may be able to help and the kids who broke into Mama's room. We need to more tension build up and more revelations regarding the outside. Since this show only has twelve episodes, things really need to move a bit faster. |
Aymen_Maf said: AyumiVk said: Tbh this was the best episode until now after the first one, in my opinion at least. Whoever directed it did a good job. I think the directing has been fascinating in every episode. It's just the horrendous pacing in some of the episodes overshadows that. :nod: This is my biggest problem with the show. The pacing. I have a feeling the ending will be seriously rushed and make little sense. |
Daphi said: There are two entrances to that area from both sides, they didnt leave through the room they got in. Good line of thought with Krone, how do you think she will benefit from it? Oh ok, I guess I missed that. Good to know. I remember in one of the previous episodes Krone said she wants to be the "Mom" there, so maybe she'll say if they help her take down Mom Krone will let them go, then say she lied and have them shipped out. Or help them escape and report Mom so she gets fired or something then rat out the kids that escaped. Either way, I highly doubt she wants to actually help the kids escape for their sake, if she does, maybe the condition is only the main three are allowed to go, and everyone else stays. Krone is unpredictable so who knows. |

Also some of what you said regarding Krone is pretty much 100% on point, you will see, that part was predictable anyway^^ |
| the frame of sister popping up is highly unsettling, definitely scared me a little. i love how the tension builds up more and more each episode. |
| The one that opened the door was Phil. Emma, Norman and Ray agreed that the next thing to do is to know the exteriors. Don stole the key from Mom and entered to the secret room, they saw a communication instrument; and they could escape from there when other kid delivered a key to Mom. Emma showed to Norman and Ray (discovered by Phil) that some books have a mark with morse code, which give hints about the truth of the orphanage (supposedly put by someone named William Mierva). Emma, Norman, Ray, Don and Gilda had a meeting in the dinning room by night, Don became a bit violent when he felt powerless. Emma gave Norman an idea about how they all could escape. Norman discovered that Ray was truly helping them. Ray informed Mom on a daily basis, he descovered he would be picked up next january. Krone intercepted the group in the forest, she heard them last night, she wants them to team up to her. Don finally explored the secret room, and discovered what Ray guessed. That detail with the books is too smart, I guess, who could have put that, who wanted to show that. It was not supossed that Ray's life was insured by being Mom's spy? Or we all missunderstanded that part. Krone, scary as always, fortunately she is not always against the kids. |

| So it was Phil who opened the door. :D Damn, Don and Gilda must've been shocked after seeing toys that once belonged to the kids sent outside the orphanage. :( I completely understand Don's reaction towards our main characters' trio. Going back to Phil, he noticed strange thing in books he read: William Minerva's constantly repeating in various books. It's good to know there might be an ally outside the orphanagek or at least somebody who might be helpful in just survivng in the world full of demons. Sister Krone looked more creepy than usual, but I guess it's good - after all, she offered her help to our heroes. ;D |
| don's STEEEEAALLLLLL rivals kazuma's. this show makes the best cliffhanger. makes me just want to read the manga in one sitting. damn director you the real mvp |
| Norman: "It's cool, sister Krone won't appear" Me: "Well she is though, isn't she? i'm prepared i won't be scared" Sister Krone: appears Me: shit scared actually the first time this show has freaked me out. story still going well, this is one of the best shows this season! |
PlotTwister said: I don't know what you're even responding to. The slow pacing? Since it has nothing to do with the other two.duhu1148 said: Probably the weakest episode so far. Opens with bait, reiterates the silliness of just how intelligent these children are with morse code bit, and is paced rather slow. Even then, the key thing is hardly a huge plot point and it was established in the previous episode anyway. Still don't know anything about "Sister" other than she wants to be a mom or something. I missed the rope thing, but it's whatever. All I could tell you about this episode was that Don/Gilda snoop around, find out Conny's dead, get mad...Sister offers to help at the very end as yet another episode ends on a cliffhanger. Speaking of, the more cliffhangers they use, the cheaper they begin to feel. |

If it's a spoiler or anything I don't need to know, but I feel like I may have missed something here. You're wrong. The point of him being a spy is so Emma and Norman would be safe and live until they're 12. Ray never cared about himself. You'll see what I mean in like 4 episodes. |

Agreed, they should just end things on a happy note with us knowing they continue rather than the constant cliff hanger... If ur a manga reader you can take the constant "cliffhangers" as a clue ;^) PlotTwister said: Don is not as smart, but he's still 11. He and Gilda are 10 y/o, one year younger than the trio. |
| I definitely haven't read past the second volume so I'm only actually familiar with barely a quarter of the episode right before the Morse code part. It looks like that the older children aren't the only super sharp ones around there because Phil and the others recognizing Minerva's secret messages right away reminded me that they had to go under rigorous tests of spacial recognition and many more different topics to make their brains juicy and succulent. Don and Gilda recklessly confirmed their worst fears and became conflicted with the three's refusal to let them in on the real situation. Don might've caused a ruckus iin the middle of the night because of that, but who wouldn't after finding out such things? Too bad that Sister Krone got the gist of the whole situation but it looks like she's up to something. |

| One thing that amazed me was that these 11 years old kids know about Morse code. I'm 18 and had to google search to know what a Morse code is XD |
| "would you like to join forces?" "eh?" lol sister krone is fucking terrifying and at this point i'm so confused jsljdl can't deny that i really enjoy her little dance act everytime she shows up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| Don's voice actor did a really good job this episode, and fuck yeah those punches looked nice animated |

| Very good episode. Krone's appearance was so sudden and creepy. |
