| What a joke of an episode lmao. Imagine skipping the second best arc there is. Probably one if the biggest disappointments to exist of this season and probably this year. |
alessandroempire said: You are overreacting, seriously. So what if Mister wasn't introduced in this episode? Does it mean the GP arc will be disregarded? The names on the wall are more like hints/foreshadowing of what is about to come and they probably will introduce the others differently. I am so disappointed.They skipped one of the best arcs. Emma vs Lewis. Yuugo. This was going to be the best arc. They should have done an original of the ending. Not this. They lost my interest. This is pathetic. Please fire the director and producer. This author is dead to me. Emma wears the braid which she gains during the GP arc, so there is a hope the arc will be shown. Too quick to judge after the fourth episode. |

| I'll say this: 1. I am honestly really tired to see the same complaints over and over again, my brain is close to having a meltdown. 2. It was stated the anime was going to be original because the author themselves weren't satisfied with the outcome of the manga, so they have joined the team with script-writers to go ahead and see how things will turn out. 3. I say this again - I highly doubt they have skipped out the GP arc, Emma wears the braid in the OP which she gains during the arc, the names on the wall are quite the hint I am baffled people are missing it and the journal too as some have mentioned. Maybe they'll introduce the gang differently and same goes for the arc, I just have enough of seeing the same shit over again and explain the same shit over again. 4. Go ahead and drop it, be my guest. We are still at the fourth episode of the series, so I am still gonna watch it to the end and see what sort of route they have chosen for this series. Thanks for me. |

| Im an anime only and I disliked this ep as well, Its hilarious how bad those soldiers were. And Isabella coming in because they already anticipated trained military to fail against kids just priceless. I really hope the manga didn't have those parts, because I could immediately tell that the writing went downhill this ep. I liked tho that they waited quite some time to check if the food was poisoned. |

| This episode threw me off, don't know how to feel about the deviation from the manga. I'm not going to get my pitchfork out yet and see what comes next. Have to agree that the episode was a jumbled mess though. |
| Tired, always tired! |

I'm coming from a totally different place from the manga readers here; I haven't read the manga, so I have no clue about the cut content. The problem I have here is the sudden shift from horror to a weird ass, badly executed slice of life/action-adventure combo, filled to the rim with bad writing, raging plot armor, and stuff that's just downright stupid and makes no sense. It's just so disappointing to me. You've basically thrown away everything that made Season 1 so great. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was fan-fiction because that's exactly what this reeks of; bad fan-fiction. Thank you. As an anime-only, I have to agree with you. YEP, you can instantly tell something is wrong. |
| Ehh, I'll just wait and see where this will end up... Episode felt too random and well, all I can say is that this thread and it's heated discussions says it all. Episode was pretty bad but I am trying to stay positive for a good ending of this season, no matter how original it may get. |

| This was quite the episode when gauging the reactions that this has received for committing to the full anime-only direction this season has decided to take. When removing the context of the manga from my judgment, I wasn't too bored by this episode and found the element of world building to be surprisingly decent, showcasing how much they are adjusting to their lives and training themselves to survive out there without a mother to look over them anymore while taking advantage of what the shelter had to offer. But at the same time, I will also admit that this episode tonally felt a bit all over the place with a lot going on from the Isabella stuff, to the kids' shelter being breached pretty damn quickly and Ray being Ray at the end too. I'm still willing to give this a chance. Sure I'm disappointed that Yuugo's no longer there and the anime's taking a completely new direction earlier than expected since The Promised Neverland by this point still had a lot to give before the manga crumbled apart, and from the start, the anime does feel like a downgrade already with a more jumbled up direction, but the episode itself wasn't that bad for me since I still was engaged mentally with the show and still find more positives in watching this kind of episode than most seasonals I'm on weekly. I'll keep my eye on this though since given the sort of mixed bag start where there really hasn't been new benefits with the changes, it definitely can crumble even more quicker than the manga did to produce a genuinely rough season, but for now, I still would say its a solid one nonetheless. |
| I just think it's hilarious how, when the first season ended, the forums were Filled with people going "alright, hope you liked that bc the manga goes downhill from here". Plenty of the "hype" going into this season was surrounded by manga readers complaining about the ending and the series' direction And now people are mad it's going original. I just have to laugh |
| I got spoiled about some things by fans of the manga so I'm excited this is going a diff route. Yes the OG was great cause of the mind games. They may return to it later in the series, who knows at this point. My only issue rn is how convenient that pen is and that it appeared seemingly out of nowhere. As for thoughts on the episode... I wasn't expecting them to plan to return this soon. They still had a few years if I remember correctly and yes they now have skills to survive in the wild but they don't seem nearly capable enough to return to their own farm. I'd prefer if they got reinforcements first as they still seem severely underpowered compared to Isabella and company. That they made it through the woods was thanks to sheer luck and two demons' self interest. I heard of this goldy pond thing, what it is exactly I'm unsure of but it would be a wise choice to have that (or something like it) in-between now and them returning to their farm. The themes' visuals have me hopeful with the implied timeskip at some point (Emma looks older and appears to have a braid now to cover up her ear) |

As a manga reader bla bla blah waaa STFU, drop, GTFO and go cry in the manga corner! |
| ANIME ORIGINAL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS hopefully shirai has thought out the story more than he did with the maga |
 |
| Apologies if this is already stated by someone but I only read to first comments to avoid spoilers as an anime only. So from what ive read and understand: they ditched the manga and went on with an original story or is it a mix from both? So the first 3 ep were canon and now from ep 4 it is anime original? Just finding out what the best way is of enjoying this anime. Might play it safe and wait till it's over and read some reviews about it. |
 |
| Go read the manga, it's far better than this adaptation. They really changed the story |
| Even if I wasn't aware of the events that were supposed to unfold now, this episode would feel just as random, badly paced and pointless as it was. None of it felt organic, from the incompetent SWAT dudes not not being able to capture any children inside the shelter, to them being instantly eaten by the demon while the children put on their plot armor... As said in this thread, here's hoping for at least some dead children this arc ahahah Well, the Goldy Pond Arc was actually fun in the manga, but IF they are skipping/changing it, I hope it's for the best... (am scared!) |

| The manga went downhill after GP arc, that‘s the overall opinion of the majority of manga readers. They literally skipped the good part to go to the trash part faster, of course people will be complaining. But I really gotta rant about this episode. I had nothing against the anime going anime original for season 2, but these past few episodes sucked so hard. There‘s barely anything new you learn and this episode they showed all these irrelevant and superficial „bonding“ moments montage of their group, which the episodes before had like enough already. I literally don‘t fucking care that they bath together or that they cook, hunt, play, eat together; THIS WAS ALREADY THE FOCUS WHEN THEY WERE WITH SONJU AND MUJIKA, AS WELL AS THE EPISODE JUST BEFORE THIS ONE. I get the author probably regrets not having developed all the other kids from the RayEmma troupe, but it‘s done so overly superficial. It‘s as if this all just serves as a plot device that they can use to make some kinda pLoT tWiSt happen and there‘s no real feeling of attachment to the bunker, which sucks hard ass. They be hopping from location to location only now. I‘m not really happy with the changes they made, cuz it just feels rushed. Irrelevant scenes are being focused on while those that are actually interesting are either skipped or rushed. Nothing really made sense in todays ep, the kids were way too chill about some rando dudes blowing up their bunker and aiming their guns at them. Till now, their only concern have been the demons and Isabella, there has been no real danger coming from other humans. Why the fuck was the tone so wrong when those dudes where there? They literally didn’t feel threatening at all! (which in contrast to the manga was absolutely nerve wrecking) I tried to blend out my „manga knowledge“ while watching the episode, but it‘s just so obvious that a huge chunk is missing and that the writing is lacking, as well as the direction being all over the place. This episode felt hella empty and I really hope the next episodes are going to be better, because right now for me, it‘s a lackluster show. It‘s not fun, not hype and just plain out boring. I was hoping to enjoy the anime only content, so that as a manga reader I‘d have new content to look out for as well. But since ep 1, I‘m kinda losing hope for a decent show to watch :/ |
| I'm a huge fan of TPN and I didn't even think the manga went off the rails, like most tend to...but this is just a huge disappointment, through and through. I don't know if I'm even going to keep watching this adaptation, just incredibly wasted potential all throughout. Honestly a little upset about this. |
| Looks like this series really went 100% original which is very disappointing. That shelter got discovered quickly... Isabella is going to make a return which is cool at least. I'm curious with what the demon actually whispered to her. Seems they will try to finish the story in this season. I just hope it won't be as bad as the manga ending was. |
 |
| Ok...WHAT THE FUCK? They removed one of the best characters and the second best arc. I wouldn't have given a shit if they went anime original after because at that point the story really hit rock bottom but doing this...I just can't even. This is anime original at this point. And NO, they cannot even reintroduce said best character later because the shelter played a very important role in his development. Not to mention Isabella's character got toally murdered (if you read the manga you will know what I mean) too and to add insult to injury they are reusing her as a villain again. |
| wtf, either my memory of the Manga is way off or they just skipped or changed a bunch of stuff? and what happened to Yuugo? |
 |
| "We're not having much luck today." So why is Dominic still leading? Sure, give the newbie first dibs on the first few attempts but you take over before getting to the "not much luck today" point so that you don't go home empty handed. And the "goowee"... You have arrows. Just stab the motherfishers and be done with it. They're just sitting there. How do they expect to storm these farms and take the kids out? They can't even hold down a hideout for more than one episode. |
