| Great characters, a masterpiece of a story, stunning villains and a somewhat noteworthy of twists. 1/10. I hated it. |
| Honestly, I think it's probably one of the best anime of the past decade. Although its had its share of success, I feel like if it had came out any other year instead of 2019 (like this year), it would have garnered even more attention (it had to basically compete with KnY, SnK S3P2, Mob Psycho II, Vinland Saga, Shield Hero, etc... for attention). I'm greatly looking forward to season 2, though I've heard the series peaks in its first arc. |
 |
| The first arc was gold, I wish that kind of strategies and plot twists it had at the beginning were more frequent in the rest of the manga, but after that arc the series started to go downhill, it was not bad, but it was not that interesting anymore. I like the ending anyway. |
| Personally I loved the anime, it was my favorite show from 2019,. The first half of the manga is really great, but after that it started to decline heavily and the ending was pretty bad. This is just my opinion, though. |
 |
| First arc was fantastic, the next ones are pretty great But man, the latest arcs and especially the last one are disappointing |
| WASTED POTENTIAL Ngl, the first arc was just amazing. I even gave it a 9/10. The following arc isn't that good, but isn't bad either. It's decent. However everything after that is just horrible. Everything that made the first arc great was taken and thrown down the drain. - The stakes weren't high or maybe it was, but it didn't weigh down on me like before. - Suddenly, it felt like Emma and Co. could do everything and there was no sense of suspense and anxiety. - Characters had pretty much no impactful development and were very inconsistent. Ray as a character was rendered completely obsolete. - Plot weakened a lot and became predictable. Don't get me wrong, its okay to be predictable. But not for a series like TPN which thrives on suspense/twists. |

| I liked it but it never struck me as something spectacular. Probably because it's hard for me to get into a show where the characters are such young children. All in all, it's definitely worth the watch (although as a lot of users above mentioned, most people believe there seems to be a drop in quality as the show goes on). |
| One of the best food anime out there. |

| In my top 5 last year. Loved it, and looking forward to the next season. We'll see what it brings. |
bineet11 said: The first 35-40 chapters i.e. 1st season is great. The next 40 or so chapters are also good and then it goes in a downward spiral. I dropped the manga. this is basically my opinion on promised neverland |
| I liked the anime, I went and read the manga. While the beginning was definitely the strongest point due to the strategies and planning they went through as well as how tense it felt throughout. The later arcs do kinda throw the intelligence aspect the first arc had to the backseat in favor of focusing on family (but not by blood) and action as well as the world building. I still enjoyed the later chapters, I thought the world building was great. The characters are okay, though some are kinda thrown to the background and others are never seen. While the ending was given mixed reviews, I didn't hate it. It's ambiguous and I don't mind it. I feel like a happy ending would've felt forced and a sad ending would've been a kick in the teeth. So I'm not angry about it. I liked it, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't perfect either. ^^ |

| It saddens me in a way that this is the type of anime which seems like it would have been given 50, 75, or 100+ episodes back n the 90s or early 2000s, but now is given 12 or 13 by default. I realize there will be a second season which has already been greenlit and due to air early next year (originally the autumn, but pushed back like many other things due to the pandemic crisis), but I can't help but think this seriously hurt the pacing and character development around major events early in the story, rather than if it was decided and planned from the beginning to be a much longer show. I didn't like the fast and often rushed-seeming pacing, the pretty barebones surface level character development, or the awkward and forced-seeming shoehorning in of plot twists relying on deliberate narrative misleads and omitting information shown to the viewer like character X saying something like "Actually, when I said this back then I really meant this and did the opposite!" That started to feel really tacky, cheap, and overused after a while. I haven't actually rated it yet officially since I decided some time ago to wait a few weeks to a few months after finishing a show to rate it to allow it some time to settle in my brain, but I'll probably rate it a 7. I know that I mainly criticized it, but I consider myself a fairly lenient and generous rater compared to some, it was overall still "good" with an interesting premise and am glad I watched it, but prevented from being something greater or phenomenal because of the issues I raised, and also what would prevent it from an 8 rating, let alone a 9 or 10. Now, in retrospect, maybe a year or years from now depending on how long the series goes on for and whether I watch it all and am alive and conscious to be able to do so, perhaps I'll feel differently about it after viewing the rest. |
| Only watched the anime. It was pretty good, but a little overhyped IMO. I had some minor grievances but I don't remember for what exactly. OP was lit though. |
| The word that describe my feelings about that show are in the opening. FIRE. |
