Piromysl said: So, I assume that due to Convinient Writing, Emma's unrealistic pipe dream of peace between Humans and Demons somehow will become a reality and as Mary Sue she degraded into, she will manage to have things both ways. This is some SAO level of writing right there. dont forget korix_ said: Norman made a magical drug but they don't need it anymore because of some magical blood. Ohh noo seizures... PLOT TWIST another magical drug makes an appearance. Where are the labs and scientists to manufacture this? Don't worryyyy it's magic. Why is everyone suddenly acting like a different person after a few words from Emma? Now this is a little known but Emma herself is a magical drug too. Sorry I spoiled the ending for you, but yes. They just find out that they were all on LSD. emma hit her head when looking for sonju and mujika in that forest, there was blood dripping down her face. this probably means that her skull was partly crushed, and everything from that point onwards is emma's dream in coma |

| This was waaaay too rushed, the whole anime is down spiraling IMO. S1 was like an 8-9/10 while S2 is a like a 3/10 Norman's lackeys switched mindset faster than Sonic. It's just too rushed and does not make any sense at all in my opinion. The story has turned to garbage, and the characters annoying. Is everyone just gonna agree to Emma's Talk-no-jutsu when they were demanding demon blood be spilled a billionth second ago? |

| *manga reader prespective, no manga spoiler tho so dw* emma convincing/talking to norman part was kinda eh.? it didnt impact me as much as the manga did but other than that the episode was pretty good !! i like how they showed barbara hesitating while killing the demon kid as she saw herself in it, and that last part with vincent left a lot of questions that can be answered in next episodes |
| Person A: Gonna kill all demons because all these reasons and all the torture I endure. Emma: But think about the demon-children! Person A: Ok. I'm good now. |
| Lmao. Last episode was pretty solid for once (outside of the Martha type thing) but this episode.... everything felt so convenient it started to hurt at the end. Also, what the hell is the point of some characters being shocked that Mujika is the mysteriously named 'Evil-Blooded Girl'.... nothing's gonna come out of this? no? we're forgetting about this and move on? ok |

| Episode was pretty shit. I'm sort of willing to buy that Emma was able to convince Norman to change his plans since he revealed here that he didn't really want to genocide the demons in the first place and was just acting out of desperation. However, it's way too convenient that Barb and the others are also willing to just go along with this so easily after all the build-up of their utter contempt for the demons. They tried to explain this away with dialogue but that doesn't make it any less emotionally disappointing. And speaking of convenient, the pen thing is just awful. It not only has the complete layout of the grace field headquarters, but the cure for the side effects of the medication? And why would that cure be classified anyway? If the LAMBDA people had the cure, why wouldn't they have administered it already to save their test subjects? Why would they let precious produce go to waste? Finally, the way this arc was concluded was so boring and predicable. Just distribute the blood and save everyone!

| watching the MAL rating go down every week is so fucking funny. How did we go from a 8.65 in the first season to a 6.98 in the second season? I don't understand why studios/writers think that doing an anime original plot for an already existing work is a good idea. I can't think of a single series to date that has divulged from the OG work and not ended up a complete dumpster fire, or embarrassingly mediocre. Tokyo Ghoul Root A, Fullmetal Alchemist, Promised Neverland, Fruits Basket, Blue Exorcist, Akame Ga Kill, Soul Eater...do I have to go on? |
AdolZeppeli said: What sort of fool are you taking me for? what the fuck is this shit? Barbara... OF ALL PEOPLE, DOUBTING!!!? I'd understand Norman... but Barbara? you gotta be kidding me. This show is insulting my intelligence. This 100%. They've already killed many demons, now all of a sudden the most passionate demon-hater just all of a sudden decides they're alright? A single scene of two demons changes her, that's it. Ridiculous. Emma's utopian bullshit is stale, very stale, boring. She punked Norman, practically calling him a weak idiot, and then he simply caves. L M A O AdolZeppeli said: And now, conveniently, everyone finds out about a cure for lambda's side effects... LMFAO. The icing on the cake for this season was the fucking pen tip. "Woah, just because we didn't kill everyone, now this old demon who just said he ate someone (don't pay attention to that, who cares) just so happens to have some bullshit that will cure all of you, oh oh and fuck it, the blueprints to the entire HQ layout, fuck it!" This season is laughable if you're able to look past the incredible letdown when comparing season one to season two. |
| I watch this because it's an horror, thriller anime and now you tell me it's just some sweet fairy tale? come on... |
| While I did enjoy this episode for what it is, how Norman was finally convinced to stop his vengeance plan felt a little too convenient to take it seriously. It felt the same with how Norman's close ally's also hesitated to kill demons before Norman's change of heart convinced them easily. Either way, the plan to destroy the whole population of the demon has been thwarted and thanks to Mujika, most of the demons will make a full recovery. The later scene with the old demon, Vjlk, had a satisfying backstory of seeing a dying human showcasing to him for the first time that humans can have willpower. Aside from another convenient moment of holding onto a part of a pen that had all of the info about the farm HQ, this was a nice scene overall. However, little do the whole group know that Vincent is a double agent, and uses the radio to communicate with Grace Field House at the end. Along with Isabella now becoming a Grandma, the last two episodes will be pretty spicy. Either that, or a complete trainwreck, but I'll enjoy it regardless. XD |
| The information about Philip is just a bait, for Emma and the others to return to Grace Field .. Is Vincent a traitor?! |
 |
| of course a traitor spices-up things!...lolz more like ruins-up everything! that's why i'm feeling why everything is going to convenient for them huh... 5/5. |

In defense of Fullmetal Alchemist 2003, it indeed deviated from the manga but it was still good, the one I find mediocre is actually Brotherhood. I can agree with that, the plot just felt abit...off after it split from the manga. Not that FMA is bad, it definitely isn't, but 51 episodes for a okish ending was kinda let down. |
| That deus-ex machina of everything is hurting my eyes. |

| I was defending and enjoying the anime until Emma went full retard mode while spreading her retardness to everyone. It's been a long time since I was so angry in a short time. |

| OF COURSE! I knew it. I knew they would throw some convenient bullshit to save the Lambda kids. But it was SO FUCKING LAZY that I had to laugh out loud at the moment they pointed out "look there's a cure!" just like that, out of nowhere. This is what the show is, though... plot convenience after plot convenience after plot convenience. I also don't understand this "don't kill the demons" nonsense. Emma(and now everybody) doesn't want to kill the demons, ok... so what's your strategy then?? cause in the manga But there's nothing like that in the anime, so... what's the idea then, Emma? I truly cannot believe how abysmal the writing of this anime got. I'm scared to see the what they did for the last arc and especially to Isabella. |
 |
| the anime original idea was a curse and blessing at the same time. I like some of the new additions like the grandpa demon and the backstory and Vincent plot twist at the end, but still, there are a lot of missing pieces and the story seems all over the place smh. They cut away a lot of important elements from the manga as well. |
| Barbara magically overcomes her hatred of demons while Norman is conveniently handed the cure to his illness. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| andddd they all just flipped a switch within a few seconds. Thought it could have a better pacing. Still, good episode and more development of the story. Vincent?? |
 |
| The writing of this show must be used for in film schools as a case study about how to make the worst possible writing ever while taking yourself extremely serious. The fact that the majority of MAL users can recognize this as bad writing is enough to tell how they fucked this up. |
| Last time we saw Isabella on the Prison and now she become Grandma Isabella.. lmao Now i understand Manga Bros Rage... Well they really Speedrunning TPN and try to finishing the series in 2 more episodes... But whatever I'm already bought the Manga anyway... |
 |
| It was a way too good episode to be true, there had to be a traitor...damn. It seems like Neverland loves to break hopes, over and over and over. 2 more episodes, wonder how it will end. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Uff..i was never a manga reader but even i can tell there are some serious rushed and bad writing at work here. Its time to face the facts, they pretty much abandoned this story. probably around when s1 aired and s2 got approved there was massive hype around this and the executives behind it wanted to cash in, but after the manga story started to dwindle towrds the end and than the manga ended entirely, they decided to just abandon this story, give it a quick anime original ending to leave it concluded and move on. Its really sad when some stories are still treated like this :(. I thought i would be content with an anime original story but you can really tell they have not put much effort or care in how they even end it as an anime original, just use the basics, rush it and leave it so i can't accept this as good enough at this point. What a dick move. |

| Plot armor. Plot armor everywhere. I'm starting to feel like the pacing's too fast. Never read the manga so I wouldn't know either way. But holy smokes, the number of deus ex machina I'm witnessing in this particular episode is loaded af. The hell. |
| This season is a shitshow. I've come too far to drop this garbage, but it can't end too soon. |
 |
| The old man having info about the place that they are about to attack feels comically convenient. |
 |
| I don't like this otimism, it's not because a poor ville with inocents kids and ageds that Norman and his friends that suffer so much in their lifes because those demons that in the day are friendly but at night pay for eaten them and feed the meat industry. Its so weird to see Norman quiclky change the ideas and even the girl with red hair that was the most anger with demons is say sorry for demons. I hate animes that advance the scenes too fast like this. 11 episodes are so much little for this complex context. |

These pretty much say it all. Many called Charlotte and Aldnoah.Zero a trainwreck, but Promised Neverland gives the word a new meaning. I mean, don't get me wrong, escapist Fairy Tales are nice, I actually like watching one every once in a while. But this genre was not marketed the slightest bit before S2, which comes in after a 2-year wait to make matters worse. |

| It was so good My strong Emma took back her rightful position as the leader. She clearly have enough and will now do the right thing My precious little lesbian princess Mujikas blood is the key to salvation and will solve all their problems. Spread the word and the common class will be furious when they found out they didn't need to starve and suffer. It will start a uprising .Vive la révolution And omg the little demon girl Emma is so fucking cute❤❤ Awwww honey are you also a little demon lesbian. I say YEEEEEEEEEEES you are! You are so perfect. When Emma goes home my Mujika needs a new wife and you are it! Love this episode. Strong emotionally impacts, and I got another lesbian ship, awesome stuff  |

| Wow... I'm not sure how to feel about this episode... I am having a hard time that Barbara (out of all people) suddenly stopped herself from killing those two demons because she doesn't have it in her when the previous episodes and flashbacks prove otherwise. She and the other lackeys (except for Vincent) turned over new leaves right after their failed genocide plan? Nah. I don't buy that at all. Did they even bother explaining how did Mujika earn that name? Evil-Blooded Girl? No one even questioned why that name? Am I missing something? Is she really evil? Nani? Such a "coinky-dink" to have that missing pen cap 'cause of plot convenience that has an up-to-date map/blueprints/information on Grace Field's security system+ detailed description of the drug for seizures 'cause why the hell not add that in there? Emma is definitely brainwashing Norman. Norman is all about saving the kids and his race meanwhile Emma wants to save the demons and the kids while putting others in danger. I have a hard time believing that Norman really wants to save the demons when his plan all along was to eradicate them. It's all because of that demon girl named Emma that made him hesitated from there? Also, what are they going to do with that big arse demon that they held captive?! What was the point of that? I don't know... sigh. Two more episodes left and not sure how this will go. |

| okay who the hell wrote the script?? cause even an amateur fanfiction writer can write a script better than this!! Barbara of all people got talk-no-jutsu'd!???

I'm amazed that there are people that still likes this shit. don't just blame the author, the studio/whoever made the decision to cut out all the important arcs is mainly at fault |
| this feels like a straight up deus ex machina (not sure if it actually counts as one tho, I'm just saying the story telling is feeling so like lackluster it's giving me the vibes of one) |

ttcchen said: don't just blame the author, the studio/whoever made the decision to cut out all the important arcs is mainly at fault After the trifecta of shit made by them this season, I'll agree with you, cloverworks is to take the blame here, not just here, but on all of it's shows in this season. |

| Well, Norman changed his plans thanks to Emma. Now it's time to rescue Phil and the others from Grace Field. Too bad there is a traitor among them. |
 |
| This episode was...not good. Norman's crew sure changed their minds in a blink of an eye. They worship Norman that much? |
