| Even as an anime-only viewer, I thought this final episode was a bit of a letdown. The backstory into Peter Ratri's past about how his brother became William Minerva before he was killed off was interesting, but I honestly felt a bit amused that Peter himself took his own life. Knowing how twisted his mind has been, I think he did the right thing! XD One of the few plus points of the episode was when Emma's group staying behind while seeing off Isabella and everyone else go, which we say a rather touching farewell scene between Emma and Phil. Unfortunately, this was then followed by a long slideshow which had so many shots which left me thinking that all of this potential content got skipped. The only redeeming upside was the excellent OST during this part of the episode, but this was a wasted potential of future seasons. I'm not one to score anime shows with a low-ish score, which is a rare thing for me to do, but I can't give this one more than a 5/10. Considering how popular this series is, I'm saddened why how this second season got this rather annoying treatment. Time to jump into the manga version, then... |
BananaShojo said: Will there be a 3rd season? No. I checked the manga ending, and it's VERY VAGUELY similar. So, there is no material at all to make a season 3. This is the ending. |
| It's finally over. |

Unmasked89 said: Please, someone help me. 1) is this the same ending of the manga "but rushed"? Or is it rushed in the manga too? Or is it completely different? Because we saw a lot of very specific frames (a dragon-like creature, human villagers, etc) that seem like stuff that had a full development in the source material. Is it like that? 2) so... this is really the ending? No season 3, right? I wouldn't call the manga ending "rushed", just awkwardly-paced. Especially towards the end. But goddamn, I have no idea whose choice it was to make the anime even worse. You at least got proper explanations for some of those slideshow frames in the manga. The dragon and that little demon thing Emma encountered? Very important in the manga, and it's a damn shame because the buildup to that particular part would've been fantastic to see animated. The anime and the manga technically have the same ending (all the main characters return to the human world) but I'm just floored by how rushed the anime was. There's some differences here and there, but they're not for the better. |
| I'm so disappointed. Terrible ending, but finally it's over. Miss you, Yuugo.. I was really hoping to see you in anime series... |
 |
| As a manga reader, I'm really sad how this season turned out, I just watched the first and last episode and saw out there what was happening in the middle, Im glad I didn't waist my time ;; Congrats to the voice actors tho, they were perfect as always |

YuyoGzm said: 3/5 Episode... 6/10 Season 2... just because it has the Best ED Song of the Season... From Credible-Fantasy to Non-credible at all... We can all agree this is the most dissapointing anime of the season, maybe of the year... and possibly from the last 3-5 years too... Zero hopes for season 3... not really interested... this season killed those feelings. There's not gonna be a season 3, no chance of that happening since you know, the powerpoint |
| lmao at least the scripter is conscious to feel ashamed of himself by having his name to be removed on the cast, or he just ran away from the team. |
| OMG they literally put a fucking slideshow to summ up this whole anime. I can't belive it. It' seems like a joke. Honestly it is so anticlimatic that hurts my whole being. 4/10 just for beggining and to honor season 1. |

| I really don't have much words to say at the moment except for the fact that the second half of the season was pretty bad in almost every right barring the Soundtracks & VA. Anime-only here by the way, I've only read up to the end of the first arc and I think I'll just go back to the manga now. Didn't feel any closure from this finale. While I did appreciate Emma and co.'s decision plus the touching final moments, not much else really seemed to stand out in positive light. Mujika and Emma's pose was a nice addition, though. Did they go and end up making the "promise"? That's way too convenient... In any case, the first half of the show was pretty interesting though. It was nice to see the outside world and the challenges our characters had to endure but sadly way too much was cramped from around mid-point onwards. Initially thought of settling with a generous 6/10 but I'm afraid a 5/10 seems way more plausible and true to my experience and disappointment. Op & ED will go down as one of the best, if not the best, of the season though. Definitely will be tuning to those every now and then. |

| This episode really did an amazing job upsetting me and all my (already low) expectatives for it. Come on. It's been quite a long time since I last watched such an atrocious episode. You had one job, Kaiu Shirai. You only needed to just change some little things in order to improve the manga ending, but you not only didn't improve it, but drastically worsened it. The manga ending was a disappointment, but it's a masterpiece when compared to this. At least it explained many plot points and felt actually interesting. I'll just leave here the only thing I liked from this episode and maybe the whole season. The role of Isabella at the ending. It was good to see her not die and taking care of the children in the human world alongside the other mamas. This was actually good for me, since she didn't just die in a disappointing way. Now with the rest. The characters' decisions felt way too empty due to the lack of buildup, and what were maybe the most important events in the whole series were just summed up in some images with background sad music. I still wonder what made the authors decide to fuck the series up so badly. The last 5 minutes even felt like a commercial to go read the manga. Hell, the entire season just erased literally everything that made the series interesting: character psychology and development, strategies and mind games, worldbuilding and the morally grey decisions of some characters. Peter Latley wasn't good in the manga, but he felt way worse in the anime. Everything about the demon nobles and royalty was removed. The whole worldbuilding which the manga took chapters and chapters to build and explain was reduced to some minutes-long chats between characters. Norman's strategy in the demon world was complete bullshit in the anime, and way more credible in the manga. Again, Emma's decision to not kill the demons felt way way weaker here, due to the complete lack of the buildup the Goldy Pond arc made. And more things, but I don't have enough time to explain them in a deeper level. This episode was the zenith of mediocrity and the culmination of one of the worst adaptations in the whole industry. I'll just wait for "Yakusoku no Neverland: Brotherhood". P.S.: congratulations to this season for being my 6th 1 score in this website. It really deserved the award. |
| I think the funniest part is that even if there are 1/5 bots (like in re zero, yuru camp, jjk, dr stone ,etc) for this episode no one would know since this episode is genuinely THAT Bad lmfao. |

| Like with Game of Thrones I would have forgiven any stupidity if they hadn’t completely screwed up the ending into 2 pointless grabs for emotion that didn’t pay off. Forever now maximum 6/10 series with no rewatch ability. |
| I've never seen such potential just go down the drain like that. First season was absolute bomb. 5/10 |
| If Phil didn't exist, this anime would be a 1/10, but Phil exists, so the anime is a 4/10 |
| ....what...the...fk....was....that...?! |
| Did Petri dish right here just give himself a clean cut? LMFAO |
| What a shitfest, I mean I'm glad that they gave the kids a happy ending and such. This was a total headache, most things just didn't make sense. Manga ending kinda sucked already but this is even worse. It's rushed. |
SenpaiMars-Barz said: They literally showed what could have been 2 season of exposition in a slideshow?????? This is next level shit....... I suppose that when they saw the mess they had created, they decided better to leave everything finished, even if it was in powepoint format. :P |
| Well I didn't expect anything in the first place so... |
| I haven't read the manga to this point so there is nothing for me to complain about. Tbh it even feels kinda weird, i never expected such a happy ending for Neverland, this always felt like an impossible dream. But somehow they actually managed to do it, i know they cut and skipped a lot of stuff but i am glad that i at least got the chance to see this adventure animated. That ending felt a little rushed tho, so did Emma actually managed to save everyone? I still can't believe it ended so happily xD I am glad i saw this adventure, but now i would love to see a spinoff/sequel of them fighting against the queen! That would be amazing! The vibe between Mujika and Emma was really cool in this episode, Mujika was definitely the best new character of this season. I enjoyed the past season a lot, and i enjoyed this season even more because we actually got to see the end of this epic story and it got a happy ending! If they made this season longer and completed it more, it would have been for sure a solid 10/10, still a solid 9/10. What an ending!  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Lmao.. And here we thought that Tokyo ghoul had a shitty adaptation |
| As an anime only watcher, it was good to okay up until these last couple episodes but this last episode in particular was bad and that slideshow into the time-skip was borderline disrespectful. lol A very easy 5/10. |
| Anime only, this was a very poor finale. All of the charm that made season 1 worthwhile to watch is gone. The finale was quite garbage at the end. 4/10. |
| In the first 4 episodes of this season, before the timeskip and meeting norman, it was going fine then but after that each episode felt rushed as it nears the end. The thrill and twists of this season including the reveal of the modern society in the human world was okay but it clearly did not supass what the first season delivered. Maybe it would've been better if the anime had followed the pace in the manga, like what people say, and not lose its potential. If this is the finale of the series and has no sequel to it, tho I doubt it will get any, then that ending was quite disappointing. |
Yuri-Crusader said: Ashhk said: WTF was that end, this is one of the worst anime ending I've ever seen really... I didn't even like the first season but this one was clearly worse Ahh cmon m8 it wasn't all bad . It had a awesome Yuri ending,,YEEEEEEEEES So at least that is something positive from that mess =P  I find it funny that out of all things that happened, this is the bit you applauded the most. As expected for a fellow yuri lover. I think I've also seen this frame somewhere in the manga. |
 |
| hmmmm...TRASH. S1 is better at least. 1/5. 5/10. |
 |
| So they decided to cramped all of the missing arcs in one episode with a little bit with power point justice, 181 chapters in 23 episodes wth, i don't read the manga but still i feel like they rushed it. Why would they even bother to make another season anyways ? this should've ended with just one season for the original ending and let the people read the manga for the continuation. Plus Emma is so dman annoying with her talking no jutsu. Overall score 4/10, Turned a Masterpiece into a piece of shit, good job CloverWorks that's quiet an achievement |

| I wanna talk about why everything in this episode was just awful, but that would take too long. I can't understand what significance a lot of the scenes from the montage has. Why is there a dragon? Why are that dragon and Emma on water . . . Jesus style? The human world is on the other side of a magical door, and not in a place that you can reach by travelling. It would have been nice if they mentioned that beforehand. Also, the human world is basically just our world. They showed some royal looking monsters, but then nothing came of it. WTF! Is this anime really complete? |

The stuff shown in the slideshow was important to understanding wtf was actually happening, but it wasn't animated or explained in any way. So basically... season 2 was a manga commercial. |
| As an anime watcher only, I enjoyed this season. I don´t think this very low mean score is justifiable. Most likely the mean score is this low due to the manga readers who probably didn´t enjoy how the manga was adapted to the anime. At these times, I am glad I haven´t read a manga before the anime haha xD ---- Three questions, by the way: (1) From which child Vyrk-san got that small piece of that pen so they could know where is the gate between the Human and Demon worlds? (2) How they did manage to get so many hot-air balloons in episode 10? Or did I miss something? xD (3) I see the manga is already finished, the anime adapted the final moments of the manga or is it an anime original ending? |
 |
| At least Isabella doesn't die in the anime. She dies in the manga. I am looking up the manga ending and to be honset, I think peopel are being overly bitchy. Everything here made sense to me. I may pick up the manga but I think manga readers were wrong to trash the manga ending. Overall, this was disappointing anime though. I really felt it could have been special and while the special does a decent job in some parts, it mostly sucks outside of one of my favorite characters not being dead. 5 out of 10 |

Is this anime really complete? That's the problem. That montage does show significant moments and demon characters from the manga, but as far as explanations for anything, they're like "lol nope". I'm even seeing anime-onlies—tons of them in this very thread lmao—who liked S2 but have no clue what was going on with the ending. It's over. :( The manga also ended with (almost) everyone traveling to the human world, and that's it. The manga wasn't perfect, but the anime made an already rushed ending stretch with lots of plot armor and conveniences even worse. |
