| get ready for the ride here we go S2!!! 5/5. |
 |
| What a way to start the season!! Covered so much in the first episode already. Can't wait for next Wednesday. Is it just me who saw Norman in the ending?? |
 |
| Wasn't a huge fan of the pacing this episode, but the atmosphere hit all the right places. The new OP and ED aren't as good in my opinion as the previous season. |
 |
| Okay, finally winter season save me. This first episode was very great to bring the mysteries. Can’t wait for another survival in the nowhere. But hey, they have a very cool technology, even human havent created a pen touchscreen hologram XD |

| pretty good first episode, I liked it I didn't like the OP as much |
| I don't really care what they skipped but this episode was a banger! Starting from the very beginning I was getting chills, then opening made it even better and it was truly scary when monsters were keeping up with the group. Was not sure if I'd enjoy season 2 but now im getting on this hype train o/ |
| a decent episode but they crammed like 8 chapters into 1 episode. i personally didn't have the thrill when the demon was chasing the kids. it felt a bit rushed, but i guess it didn't really matter, maybe they want to get over to the other stuffs faster. they could have definitely lengthen the demon chase, adding more intense stuffs. overall, i still enjoy (i need the next episode so bad) but lets hope they won't keep cramming 8 chapters into one episode. |

 |
| That was a really good episode, I was expecting them to meet the 2 demons next episode, didn't expect they'd show them now. Though I think it still flowed really smoothly even though they probably skipped a lot of worldbuilding, not that I really remember in the manga since that was long ago. It looked really good visually though, it almost seemed like a movie at some points except for that wonky big cgi demon, luckily it was dark so it's not as obvious. Disregarding the cgi though, that was fantastic visuals. I didn't like the OP as much as the first one but, the visuals in the OP itself was really great. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| Pretty good episode. I have several issues with it though. I can't feel the thrill and danger in this episode when they were chased by demons. Even the part where Ray was being chased by the Demon dogs or when Emma fell due to fever. Guess because we know they have plot armor as to when the Demon dogs couldn't catch up to a small kid. Plot armor aside, there is also the problem of plot convenience. How convenient of the group to find a plant with water in it. How convenient of them to find a premade trap at the right place and the right time. How did they get the pen? I don't remember them having that previously in Season 1. Maybe I forgot. Someone clear this up for me please. Also, clear me up on how they got the books. The music choices in this episode didn't really fit the dark and dreadful atmosphere. There was also a CGI monster. Also, I still couldn't care less about the other kids besides Emma and Ray who have plot armor. The ending cliffhanger was good though. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Great comeback, I loved this episode. |
Rach_9 said: Ok. I have forgotten how norman obtained that pen and passed it to Emma and ray? Not a manga reader, but I can't remember where this was in the anime.. Sister Krone gave it to him, if I remember correctly. Didn't they cut the scene when they fall in the hole and are prisoned by roots in this episode ? |
| first season had the perfect pace why are they rushing it?? it feels like they even skipped some chapters... can someone remind me without spoiling the future episode that who is william minerva ?? |

| That was really good. Really good animation, voice acting, and direction. Beautiful OP. I can't recall what was cut. Did it have to do with that vine trap that Ray mentioned in this episode? If so it's nothing that's a meaningful loss in any way. It's boring crap that's worth cutting. This is why I'm a little more optimistic about the series going forward. The cutting of bloat and boring crap, animation, voice acting, and direction may make up for the shortcomings of the story moving forward. emraanash said: first season had the perfect pace why are they rushing it?? it feels like they even skipped some chapters... can someone remind me without spoiling the future episode that who is william minerva ?? I can't recall what was mentioned in the first arc so I'm not going to go into much detail, but he's basically the revolutionary in that world trying to help the cattle children escape and survive. He first did so by providing clues abut the real nature of the orphanage/world in the books left behind in the library. |

| This first episode started off slow, then got into its stride, then ended on a cliffhanger. That's how I like my episodes of The Promised Neverland and this one is pretty good in my book. =) It was an intense game of tag when the huge demon monster started to chase after the group. The CGI for the demon in question was sadly average at best, but the main demons who're chasing after Emma, Ray and the rest remained in 2D, even during their chase of Ray, which had some nice animated moments and good camera angles to boot. Thankfully, everyone is now okay and Emma's wound on her ear has healed up again. Now the big question. Why are there other demons willing to help out humans? I can't blame Emma and Ray being shocked about it, but I think they'll get their answer in the next episode. The OP/ED segments were great. While the OP had a pretty good beat to it, I prefer the ED theme, which was very chill with the animation focusing on the demon duo who saved the group earlier. So far, so good. Hopefully this second season will be as good as the first one. ^_^ |
| Having read the manga and some of the scans, it's an excellent episode! I think it's more intense in emotion than in the manga, especially when pursued by demons! I loved the opening and the ending even if for the ending, the visual of the ending looks like Enen no Shouboutai. |
| I'm so glad it's back. This is probably my most hyped anime of the season. The new OP isn't too bad but I actually liked the ED a little better. I think there is different factions of demons but we shall see. 5/5 |
 |
| Demons chasing after their precious food . And vegan demons? or whatever you wanna call them are saving it =P I wonder if the vegan demons are raiding the human farms . Some kind of resistance seen to be going on Mujika is so damn cute. And I think that my little Mujika is a demon lesbian and instead of eating human girl she rather catch her and give her a kiss,,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES It was a pretty good episode. Mujika is now my favorite girl ❤❤  |
 |
| 11 episodes are so short for this show :< But hey at least we got another chance to see the cast again. It's made in abyss vibes all over from this episode. I still preferred the previous opening than this one. |
 |
| Compared to the slow, deliberate pacing of season 1, this episode felt insanely rushed. We were supposed to simply accept how the "pen" worked immediately, rather than actually getting to see the kids figure out what it was and how it worked first. Then there's the casual acceptance that they knew to took all the books with them and were able to actually carry them while escaping from the farm and running away from the demons in the forest: however well-exercised those kids are, books like that are pretty heavy so it seems somewhat implausible even before considering the practicalities of how they got all the books they needed out without Isabella noticing. The actual plot beats here aren't bad, but the pacing robs a lot of the intrigue from it and does concern me going forward. |
| Glad the 2nd season's finally here. I liked the direction the manga took after the kids escaped the farm, hope the anime will keep par. |
| it was not at all a bad episode but i wish they had kept a bit more of the build up and the feeling of mystery and exploration.. guess they really wanted to end it with that cliffhanger though Also the fact that everyone seemed to know they needed X book to figure one thing out and Y book for another and they knew the plants felt more "convenient" in the anime since they didn't show the kids figuring out all that information but meh, doesnt really change anything overall then again i may be judging the whole thing with a bias considering how i felt about the end of the manga (unfortunately.. and i will try to ignore what i know happens so i can enjoy the adaptation as is) The OP is alright, I'm sure it'll grow on me but the ED is really good. Although showing those nice scenes after just discovering they were both demons is an.. interesting choice |

 "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 |
| Oh boy Season 2 here we go... OP and ED song was good.. World Outside was very dangerous... Damn those monster... Looks like The Book is the Key... William Minerva, i wonder who could that be... "Freedom is so beautiful... yet so cruel" Looks like Eren have a Friend now lol CGI was great, it blends well... No complain from me I like the Ost too, one thing that i love the most is the Camera Angles.. Absolutely Fantastic... Interesting Cliffhanger, the girl and the man that save them are Demon??? Who are they exactly??? |
 |
| Dem kids are running, running for their lives obviously. I wouldn't want to see that big ass creature in the dark either lol. I'm likin' this so far |
| A game of tag where the loser is eaten lol. Quite the unique opening and visuals. Thats quite the fancy holo map that they have though. Not to mention puzzle. But between the demons of the forest and the pursuers from the farm they really have their hands full. Still its nice to see them receive some unexpected aid before things got worst. But still to think that their saviours were demons. Looks like things out here are also complicated as well. Overall an excellent ep that featured a good mix of tension, revelation and curiosity. Im quite curious about the friendly demons though so can't wait till next week. |

| i'm so excited for the second season!! i love the op and ed so much. nice how the ed has much more of a chill vibe than last season |
| i did like this episode, although i do admit the pacing was fast. i am really glad they are still using their skills in surviving but they aren't making them full-on experts. OP is great, but it just doesn't resemble the thriller & horror type of theme. i do prefer touch off. the animation in both were amazing though~~ the ED was nice & soft~ pretty good episode overall~! |

| Oh boy it's back and straight up throwing cliffhangers at our faces! So the savior of the kids are also demons, now I wonder what their motives are to save them. |
 |
| Can’t believe it’s already been 2 years, but it’s back with a strong episode 1, excited to see where it goes from here. I liked the OP but I loved the ED, instant banger for me. |
| Pretty good first episode. Would have thought they'd last a bit longer on their own for a while. Little disappointed by that. Hope this season won't be as ungodly rushed as the first. That really took away my enjoyment. |
| Good opening and ending, now there are new demons but they're not in the same team of the evils, i'm waiting for the new episode |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| So the Demons might have factions of renegades in their lines, uh? Or maybe those two are Demons but used to be humans before. I wonder... Entertaining start for this second season overall. Wonder if we will see at some point what is happening at the farm with Phil and Isabella. |
| Awesome episode. The ED song was better than the OP imo. But, both of them were good tbh ;) [5/5] for me |
