How'd that make sense? "Bring back the kids, they're high quality, we'll release them" Who'd believe that? "Yes we want them just to release them again" |

Dukino said: Y'all are ridiculous. Trashing the anime cause its not following your precious manga to the letter. So pathetic whining I swear. Just go read the manga and gtfo if you have such a big issue with it. This is dumb all the complaining. Is it so hard to be excited about what could possibly come from the manga author getting to rework their OWN STORY? its their work let them do with it what they will You serious kid? Manga readers have every right to be upset. Skipping an ENTIRE ARC isn't a good thing. |

rubybestgirl said: I just think it's hilarious how, when the first season ended, the forums were Filled with people going "alright, hope you liked that bc the manga goes downhill from here". Plenty of the "hype" going into this season was surrounded by manga readers complaining about the ending and the series' direction And now people are mad it's going original. I just have to laugh People said the ening bit of the series was where it went downhill. GP isn't the ending. |

| Bruh look at that pool result. People are mad lmao. |
| Seriously ,plot armor in this eps is to much for emma and the gang imo |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
Anyway, that's just speculation. As for the rest of the episode, I was disappointed for the most part. I am actually pretty okay with most of the first half of this episode. If you're going to kick the kids out of the shelter this early, you have to establish its significance as much as possible for that change to have impact. The two montages and the fish scene, while not super exciting, establish the shelter as a home and safe haven for the kids enough to where the invasion of it feels like a big deal. The scene where they're anxiously waiting to see if the fish is edible is also pretty fun. The Minirva phone call sets the plot in motion in a pretty boring but passable way. He basically just tells them to "go to this place" but since we have no idea what that place is, what has become of it since the message, and what it's like on the way to it, there's still plenty of mystery left to keep things interesting. In a way, I actually prefer this straightforward approach to some of the convoluted plot points in the manga This seems grounded in reality and to-the-point, which you would expect from someone who's trying to save a bunch of kids from being killed. The second half is where things unravel. Unlike season 1, where we have a pattern of 1) consistent building up of tension followed by 2) satisfying payoffs, here we have failures on both ends. So, before the base is invaded, the initial explosion occurs with no warning or set up beyond grandma saying that they're going to find the kids, and just feels out-of-nowhere. All you'd have to do is show some men in a helicopter or running through the woods a scene earlier to create some tension and a sense of continuity, and make the explosion feel like a decent payoff, but nope, it just happens, kind of like how episode one just begins with the kids running from a giant demon. Once the men are in the shelter, there is some decent tension established initially, but the payoffs are terrible. The fact that the soldiers aren't raiding in groups or at least pairs makes it painfully obvious that they're going to be defeated in dumb, lazy ways, and that's exactly what happens. Don and the kid with him escape an armed, military-trained soldier by throwing a cup and a chair at him, and then later, when the kids are cornered again, they escape by knocking his gun out of his hand with arrows. Then, when trapped a third time, the kids are saved by a random demon who just so happens to only eat the soldiers and none of the kids. Nothing here feels satisfying, and it is all very lazily written. My final complaint is the fact that Grandma and co. are putting Isabella completely in charge of their next operation despite the fact that she completely failed to stop the kids from escaping the farm in the first place. Why is Isabella uniquely primed to stop them? I understand working with her or recruiting her help in some capacity because the knows how the kids think, but leaving everything to her feels over the top. I do like the fact that Isabella is going to be a more involved character this time around, but I have no faith that they're going to execute it in a satisfying way. |
| So, what i thought before was a truth. The shelter was not a safety place anymore, and my question about Isabella got answered this episode. But, the suspense i felt before proof to be nothing. Because the whole flow suddenly vanished after its got revealed to be like that. Oh well. The pursuers of the farm houses, the human armies, just easily broke it down completely. Lol, rip, one episode sheltering. They still managed to escape again, tho. What a lucky chance they've got there. But, the situation was not fully recovered yet. They were still under a pursuit, and Isabella finally make an appearance again, to hunt her beloved child down, under a certain conditions. What a nasty lady. The reunion might be happened, and i don't even know, how its ended up in the first place. Now i see why everyone so pissed off, after got trigger to read the wiki and i found what they've skip, leaving all of it in a complete confusion. So, Mujika amulet cleared to be nothing? Well, rip to that skipped arc. As an anime only, these latest episode truly feel a bit off, and completely arrived then finished, too sudden. That huge monster appearance proof to be a silly plot device, to my understanding. But, imma still positive through all of the future events. So, lets see how far CloverWork work out the remaining episodes.... |

| I guess it took a bit of deus ex machina to save them from pursuers. So, Isabelle is back? Great, she is such a good character. I haven't read the manga, however I wonder how much they changed/cut out. It still seems good to me, however you can tell that the first season is better. |
| From what I am seeing, The Promised Neverland just pulled a Fullmetal Alchemist lol. I mean, as long as I enjoy it there's no problem with that because I don't read the manga anyways so... |
 |
| Well that felt really rushed. Like really rushed. Seriously this is turning into a mess. I never read the manga but I'm pretty sure they skipped a shit ton of arcs for this episode. So many things are just put in randomly I just can't feel any fear or tension from the anime anymore. I can't feel anything except disappointment when watching this... |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| This actually was the best scene, and the OST made it even better. |
 |
| I was really hoping that in some way or another Yuugo will appear in this episode but my hopes were shattered when that explosion happened (´▽`) Who the hell are those humans? They looked like some kinda military. If they were related to the farm the demon shouldn't have attacked them. In my opinion, the anime original storyline seems really weak to me. I don't know but I guess I would've enjoyed it if I hadn't read the manga. I feel saddened to say that everything that is happening after Mujika and Sonju's part seems too lackluster to me....really suddenly an explosion, humans looking like some military appearing, kids back to playing tag again but got caught, then suddenly a funny looking demon appeared and ate those military humans, so fast paced. I don't get the goosebumps I had when watching season 1. And the demon wasn't scary at all (it reminded me of Gibiate). I just hope it actually gets interesting in the coming episodes. |
| What a waste of shelter! They should've made traps against the enemies, then again, who would've thought they would find their hideout? |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Now I understand why manga readers are upset about this... LOL! This was my first time reading the manga first and then anime. This is probably why it's better to watch the anime and then read the manga, so you won't feel super disappointed. |
| wow this is so shitty... why explode the entrance randomly if they know where there are ? and the camera are certified useless since they can just teleport, and why human soldier lol ? the worst is these thing all come from Rey putting there location in a tree for no reason wich is probably not even anime original. |
William03 said: for those who don't know, the author want the anime to not follow the manga because he isn't satisfied with his work. From what I heard, it will just 2 episodes, but idk if it's right or not, I will check it up later. Don't worry, the story is still from the author Interesting.. Isnt the manga finished? |
| Oh boy, quality dropped big time. The kids got out of that situation too easily. |
 |
| Yeah those kids were being way too greedy, thinking they can just go back to rescue ALL the other kids they left behind when getting away was a miracle in itself. Knew the shelter wouldn't last when they found that secret exit. What was up with the HELP message though? Were there kids holed up there that went crazy from isolation as the others were slowly picked off over time? Were some cornered by a swat team? At the very least, it's a reminder that even this "shelter" is not truly safe in the middle of the demon's world. |
| Seems like kids are on the run again with isabella making a comeback for better or for worse... Kinda disappointing to know the anime is going the anime original route which is never a good sign...hopefully it'll actually be good compared to the tokyo ghoul disaster. |
 |
| Oh so this is where the score starts to tank.. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
