| It was interesting to see Norman's past because it makes everything he's doing make sense; whilst Emma & Ray have the hope that humans will help them (like Minerva) Norman has seen that humans are just as much their enemy as the demons so he's turned to some desperate measures. |
 |
| goddammit why did this season have to suck so bad... the attack on the demon town this episode was phenomenal... why couldn't it all be this good. |
| Arguably the best episode this season. Aside from some pacing issues with 4 days quickly passing and Norman’s flashback not explaining very much, this episode was pretty engaging. Seeing the empathetic side of the demons while their own kind was degenerating along with Norman’s conviction wavering because of it was a good idea. |
Ardis160 said: Actually not that bad of an episode, which is surprising. Probably the best one since EP2 Totally agree, it had some good moments. |

| Another meh episode. Norman is broken all right |
 |
| Really great episode. Norman as the focus is more exciting somehow. I liked seeing his time in Lambda and how he escaped. The notes exchange to Vincent via the Rubix Cube was smart. "I will gladly become a god or devil, Emma" - Norman is badass though it's also tragic that he felt that he needed to shoulder everything. I didn't expect the little demon girl to have the name Emma. The scene with the demon Emma and the grandfather then child!Norman (from Emma's POV) was sooo sad ;_; |
| LoL I was incredibly disappointed by this episode, yet it seems people love it?! What's with people and their love for EDGY characters? |
| So they did include Norman's backstory... and also include Peter Ratri. Since there's no Queen or the reality warping god, I guess Ratri and Isabella will be the focus for the final episodes. Now with the invasion in the capital, The Promised Neverland seems to really be ending this season in three more episodes. There's not going to be a season 3. |
OG_Gattsu said: Rejoice anime watchers, I do not hate this episode! The anime original scenes e.g. the massacre at the demon town was good. When Norman turned and Emma’s perception is child Norman was cool. The soundtracks during the massacre elevated the unsettling feeling of demons overloading & eating each other. The anime made the demons more sympathetic and Norman conflicted with his decision to kill the demons, whereas manga Norman poisoned most of the town no hesitation. Note: Manga Norman is older and he weren’t there when he poisoned the demon town because it was only a was a diversion to his main objective. I doubt the anime will mention since there’s only three episodes left. What I didn’t like: Norman and gang’s time at Lamba was rushed. Emma’s magical fast travel to stop Norman. The group was days away and you expect me to believe Emma and Co. saw what was happening and got their in a few hours? (being generous) The demon girl being named Emma. I get what the writers was going for but it’s too on the nose like Martha in BvS. They already did mention the royals, or at least the nobles in episode 5, very briefly and you might miss it, but still |
| finally some sort of flashback.. definitely better than the last few episodes ngl the ost slapped damn the season's almost over tho |

| Looks like the anime reached a new low, they cut the nobles and the queen. (it was my last hope for having a half decent fight in the anime...) spaesu said: damn this episode was absolutely amazing, best episode this season by far. they finally found sonju and mujika but it was too late... looks like norman finally realized the weight of his decisions. that scene with the girl and the grandpa demon was really sad, wonder whatll happen now. also, norman looked really badass in this scene ngl Fun fact, that moment had an extremely amazing panel in the manga.  |
| Promised Neverland going to be the only anime ever to go through over 140 chapters worth of content in 11 episodes. Dats crazy. |
| Decent episode. However, ham-fisted it was, at least we got a little more of Norman's backstory and his time at Lambda, instead of another exposition-fest. The Emma demon scene was ridiculous though. He's spent years wanting this sort of moment to come to pass as he eradicated the demons and exacts revenge, and makes peace with the fact that Emma won't be happy but moves forward anyway, can suddenly get thrown off by the mere mention of her name. It's a real shame this wasn't at least 2-cour instead of one. Then at least things would get fleshed out a little more. It still feels like Cloverworks are speed-running this. |
| Pretty good episode, though I wish we got some more detail in Norman's backstory. They introduced a character but we really don't even know who he is or what he wants to do, sounds like they just glazed over everything cause they are constraint on time and want to end the anime this season. The massacre/experiment was really well done. Norman hesitating was really well done too, deep down he's a kind guy. :( |
 |
| god, this is infuriating. not because the episode was bad, since despite being a flawed in some areas, it was probably the best thing so far this season, but because how much of a great reward it would have been if it didnt rushed the previous arcs and created a much better build up. TPN had a chance to improve everything in the manga. |

(being generous) This... I can only keep my suspension of disbelief for so long and there's way too many conveniences going on for me to actually have any time to be worried about anything for more than 2 seconds.. You mean to tell me they managed to go all over the place looking for Sonju and Mujika and that was the only demon that nearly got in their way? And obviously they would be saved by Sonju again.. Anyway, last part of the episode was alright at least. Really sad and the way they portrayed the demons was good but the problem is and has always been PACING. It's very clear in every episode but for moments like this to actually HIT you need a well planned Build Up. It would be 10x more impactful than doing this 8 episodes into the 2nd season... |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |

| :v |
| Grandpa was nice to the humans, and in return the humans save his life hopefully. Is that Kobayashi Mika's song during that cut of all the demons? Badass as always. |
| Save... Martha... = Grandpa demon saying Emma. Heh. I don't know, I don't care for the kids, demons or Norman group anymore. Whatever. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| So, this is probably the best episode of the Season so far (which isn't saying much to be honest). I think the demon town raid was actually pretty well-executed (especially because of the BGM) and i'm legit surprised that the scene managed to make me feel kinda bad for the demons, which i didn't think was really possible. Unfortunately, this one "good" episode isn't enough to fix the Season's overall bad writing and pacing, but we'll see how it goes from here on out |
| Out of the attack to the city, everything else was pure trash |

_Aokii said: I don't agree about saying that this season has bad writing if only because it is different from the manga. Aside from that, the anime itself is pretty good. I don't like to repeat myself, so if it's all right with you, i'll just redirect you to this post i made in another thread in which i expound on most of the reasons why i believe this Season's writing is awful; and i do it without making any comparisons to the manga whatsoever (https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1897519&show=0#post33). You can read it or not, either way it's fine. Your opinion isn't any less valid than mine or anyone else's, of course. |
| Emma has to be the worst main character in all of anime I swear. |
| Imagine watching batman vs superman and the thing you as a writer learn from it is "Martha" is a good scene. This show should just follow Norman from now on. Fighting the demons and giving them what they deserve. Im soo tired of this "mutual understanding" BS. My opinion of the first season already dropped while it was airing but this right here is really just not good. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| The best episode yet -Great OST -Finally stuff is happening -But it's rushed. This ep should have all been Norman flashback and it should've been next ep that the plan went into action -If Norman stops because of talk no jutsu I'm done |
 |
| I thought it was pretty boring as a whole but I'll gladly admit that I was a fan of the soundtracks for this episode. It's cool seeing more focus on Norman's character though ig |
 |
| The music this episode was outstanding! |
