I was planning on giving it a 5 but last episode dropped it to 4 for me. Big chance last 2 episodes will bring it down to 3 or 2 as well if it ended in full Disneyland mode.

It shouldn't be watched. This season ruined the story and characters completely.

People should treat this season as it has never existed.

From 8.30 to sub-7.00 over the course of a season. It won't reach 6.00, but this has been crazy.

Personally I think it should have like a 5. Its done nothing but hurt promised neverland manga fans and disappoint anime onlies. If a show is better off not existing a 6 is too generous.

S1 was tense had me asking questions.
S2 is less tense, answers the questions, and creates more(the answers ain't bad honestly, human and demon world being separate and it being a long time is sort of cool) however it's progressing way too fast to really explore anything. Character motivations seem completely flippant. I mean the last episode the people who were with Norman were die-hard KILL THE DEMONS now they just like "oh cool let's forgive the demons" I hope the Manga explained it better.

Have you seen the anime that is scored lower that 5 on MAL? It means it had absolutely no budget and nothing was put into it. It would be straight up disrespectful towards the staff who were working on it, they actually put some effort in the anime and did something. Shit with 5 as a score on MAL is valued absolutely nothing. All of this 'disappointment'' is because its s1 was amazing and its s2 missed a lot from the manga but at least they adapted some part of it. It might have been bad but not as bad for its score to go down to 5.

The score is 6,96 right now, but when the anime ends the database will not count the scores of those who haven't watched at least 3 episodes, so the score might go up to 7.1 or something.

No, the score has dropped by over 1.3 after episode 4 alone. It's likely it won't go up any more.

I am seriously considering drop. Unlike the first season that was interesting and exciting, the second is boring and sad.

if i don't like a show I don't hold back is all. I don't think production value means you should watch something. Regardless this seasons production value has been all over the place.

Terrible writing, nonsense character development and awful pacing.

Just save your time and rewatch the first season instead.

Aside from the things the above person said, it has plot armor at 100% and plot convenience after plot convenience which literally removes any tension this season could bring, there's literally no stakes in play in this season which is extremely bad because S1 DID had tension and stakes at play, plus S2 is not about mind games and outwiting the opponent anymore, it's more of an adventure type but with no tension nor stakes involved in it, S2 is also rushed as fuck, they literally removed a big chunk of the manga and are trying to cram the last part of the manga with some changes to fit the whole thing in 11 episodes, rushed animes are never a good thing... ever, plus the last bit they are adapting from the manga is the most controversial part because a lot of people didn't like it.

For a 6/10 anime you can watch it, it's not the worst anime, there are worst things out there but if you plan on watching this then do it with your expectations really and I mean REALLY low, don't expect this to be nearly as good as S1 because it isn't.

I bet below 6.00

The reason is simple. They are animating a worse ending than the manga, which everyone already hated. With less than half the characters, no world building and no character development.

The anime is basically a bad manga spoiler, nothing else.

Ping me later if I'm wrong, but if this doesn't go below 6.00, I will be surprised

I think it's going to bottom out at 6.5 - 6.75. There are enough people rating this highly out of denial that it's bad to keep it from dipping below that. And there's the end-of-season boost that scores get too so there's that to consider.

Lol don't think it's gonna get that low, it'll get as low as 6.3-6.4 at best, once it's over, people who dropped it before Episode 4, their votes won't count too

I would be very surprised if it gets below 6

Yeah it’s definitely not going below 6

Also, is it some sort of system that will not count the score of those who dropped it before episode 4?

Once an anime finishes (or just before it does) the ratings adjust implementing a feature that means scores from someone who has seen less than 1/5 of the anime won’t be taken into account in the overall rating. For most 1-cour anime it’s 3 episodes but for something like FMAB it’ll be 13 episodes.

Ohhh I see, tysm for informing me!

I will say this as someone who has read the manga up to a point. I don’t mind anime original rewrites as long as they’re doing a good job with the rewrite. In fact, I kinda like anime doing that because it brings a level of unpredictability as to where the story will go.

This rewrite...is fucking atrocious. The way it’s been written in season two has taken all of the dramatic tension season one built up and threw it out the window. Everything in this show just feels so predictable now and the scenes that “should” have dramatic tension, don’t.

Some people were saying Season 2 was doomed from the moment they learned it had only 11 episodes and no hope for a season 3. I wasn't actually THAT pessimistic going in. I thought episodes 6-8 actually had some potential to make this series interesting. It wasn't until episode 9 that all hope was completely lost.

6.70-6.75
As far i concerned it lost like 0.20 every weeks everytime i checked the page, so looking on that it might be lower than that, but my hot take is probably around that range..

Crocospect22, your post forum about The Promised Neverland Season 2 anime score rating predictions are pretty good and interesting idea, but 6.70~6.75 score rating is bit too high... Now it's currently 6.76 MAL score rating. I think the final score rating will drop down and probably be 6.50~6.69 or lower than this score rating range since it dropped down around 0.10~0.20 every weeks everytime which already looks lower than Tokyo Ghoul Root A and Sword Art Online both anime so much lol...

I completely understand that why you think it's score rating will drop down, also looks feel underwhelming, overhyped and got worse anime damm! Yes, I think it's will probably to lost around 2.00 or more than this score rating range which become new fast lower rating records from 8.45/10 strong start dropped down to the final rating is around 6.50~6.69 or lower than that in the history of history! Even more generic than Sword Art Online II and I don't even know how that is possible.

--------------------------

Updated to 25th March, 2021 16:51 (HKT +8)

Currently it's score rating is dropped down to 6.65 or below than that lol...

That’s completely true, the manga readers are just butthurt. The show is still good and I think they shouldn‘t be alowed to rate season two with the expectation they had. It‘s clearly stated that it would be anime original. To rate it bad just because they wanted it to go the manga road isn‘t fair. Season 2 is for me an anime only still good! They should learn to separate anime and manga, like that’s the reason why this two are seperated on here anyways.

Probably if they dont save something really good for the last episode, it will be about 6.50. I didnt read the manga, so im not so mad about the changes. But i think the first season promised something that wasnt delivered: more action, more emotion. The charactes runned too much and hesitated too much: i was expecting a war between the humans and the demons. Norman became a boring character mas the others only do what emma tells them. Its strange to see how the grown ups Just treat Norman as a boss, as he is Just a kid of 13. The relationship between Norman, ray and emma isnt normal for 13 years old kids: they act as if they are 20 year old in Love.

Probably around 6.25-6.35.

It's still crazy how the rating dropped by this much, it deserves it, this season is absolutely atrocious ,but still quite shocking. Would like to see it drop below 6.00, but unless the final episode is an abomination filled with shitty animation, writing, and a rushed ending, 2 of those things which we've been seeing all season, it's not gonna be below a 6, but maybe it might reach something close to that score.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's only natural for manga readers to react towards the season like this, they are allowed to rate the show however they want, and I can assure you, if you were a manga reader on a show you loved dearly, and then you see your show go down the same road as TPN Season 2 is going, you will surely be just as disappointed, maybe you wouldn't rate as badly, but it's natural human emotion to feel this hate towards something that just disappointed you greatly.

Watching would just feel very off, and it would not make you feel as content when watching it, since you cannot help but compare it to the manga. And in the case of TPN, it seems as if the manga was much better than the anime, which just makes it more natural for it to get this much hate for going towards the anime only route.

Also, personally, as an anime only, I think the rating is very fair, this season just got worse in every department, writing, characters, dialogue, even the animation got lazier.

There are even many manga readers who have not given it a low score based on the fact that it went with the anime only route, but because they believe that it is truly a terrible show. I've seen many anime only people hating on it as well.

So while many of the bad ratings were because of the anime skipping over so much content, the majority of the bad ratings, were simply because manga readers and some anime onlies, did not enjoy it this show at all, because of its major issues, and plot holes, but if you were able to ignore these issues, and have a good time watching it, then good for you.

The manga readers shouldn't compare it to the manga because it's not the same since it's a different road, like that's the whole point. Also I'm pretty sure the anime only's wouldn't feel like there's something missing if the manga readers wouldn't take any chance they have to point it out for everyone - what doesn't make sense since the manga and anime aren't supposed to be the same for them to get compared and dragged the whole time. The anime is still good. Anime only's got mostly brainwashed to think that bad of the anime due to all the dragging & negative comments the manga readers are making tbh.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but the part where us anime only's are supposedly "brainwashed" into hating this anime based on claims the manga readers make.

That's just false, of course there are some anime only's who are hating on this anime after seeing so much hate from the manga readers, and decided to jump on the bandwagon to hate on it as well, but that's not the case for me and many other anime only's.

My opinion on this anime was mostly influenced by actual legit reasons on why this season is trash, and through youtube videos that explain why it is so bad, including a video of a youtuber who is also an anime only, who made multiple points which I fully agree with.

I was not brainwashed by manga readers, but after seeing so many discussions and videos about this season, that give actual valid reasons on why this season is so bad, I saw that this anime is just horrible, there isn't a single thing I like about it.

But, I still do agree that if the manga readers did not complain as much, then we wouldn't see this much hate for this season, but I still believe that it fully deserves all that hate that it's getting, I just cannot look past all of its issues anymore.

My opinion on this anime was mostly influenced by actual legit reasons on why this season is trash, and through youtube videos that explain why it is so bad, including a video of a youtuber who is also an anime only, who made multiple points which I fully agree with.

I was not brainwashed by manga readers, but after seeing so many discussions and videos about this season, that give actual valid reasons on why this season is so bad, I saw that this anime is just horrible, there isn't a single thing I like about it.

But, I still do agree that if the manga readers did not complain as much, then we wouldn't see this much hate for this season, but I still believe that it fully deserves all that hate that it's getting, I just cannot look past all of its issues anymore.

Tell me the issues then that makes this season so horrible and absolutely unlikeable as you said, since imo all that sounds overly exaggerated.

This show doesn’t deserve the low rating its getting. Its not getter than season 1 but its still good. Honestly i think the manga fans are hating on the show because it didn’t copy it but thats just me.

That’s completely true, the manga readers are just butthurt. The show is still good and I think they shouldn‘t be alowed to rate season two with the expectation they had. It‘s clearly stated that it would be anime original. To rate it bad just because they wanted it to go the manga road isn‘t fair. Season 2 is for me an anime only still good! They should learn to separate anime and manga, like that’s the reason why this two are seperated on here anyways.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's only natural for manga readers to react towards the season like this, they are allowed to rate the show however they want, and I can assure you, if you were a manga reader on a show you loved dearly, and then you see your show go down the same road as TPN Season 2 is going, you will surely be just as disappointed, maybe you wouldn't rate as badly, but it's natural human emotion to feel this hate towards something that just disappointed you greatly.

Watching would just feel very off, and it would not make you feel as content when watching it, since you cannot help but compare it to the manga. And in the case of TPN, it seems as if the manga was much better than the anime, which just makes it more natural for it to get this much hate for going towards the anime only route.

Also, personally, as an anime only, I think the rating is very fair, this season just got worse in every department, writing, characters, dialogue, even the animation got lazier.

There are even many manga readers who have not given it a low score based on the fact that it went with the anime only route, but because they believe that it is truly a terrible show. I've seen many anime only people hating on it as well.

So while many of the bad ratings were because of the anime skipping over so much content, the majority of the bad ratings, were simply because manga readers and some anime onlies, did not enjoy it this show at all, because of its major issues, and plot holes, but if you were able to ignore these issues, and have a good time watching it, then good for you.
.

The manga readers shouldn't compare it to the manga because it's not the same since it's a different road, like that's the whole point. Also I'm pretty sure the anime only's wouldn't feel like there's something missing if the manga readers wouldn't take any chance they have to point it out for everyone - what doesn't make sense since the manga and anime aren't supposed to be the same for them to get compared and dragged the whole time. The anime is still good. Anime only's got mostly brainwashed to think that bad of the anime due to all the dragging & negative comments the manga readers are making tbh.

I'm an anime-only and really disliked this season. I liked it at first but there were some major things I had problems with:

-plot armor, giant house-sized demons posed no threat to tiny children and nothing bad ever actually happened
-bad pacing
-Norman's anticlimactic return
-characters who have deep seated issues due to torture and inhumane treatment giving up plans for revenge because of a sad 14 year old
-Emma's constant positivity that makes no sense
-Oh, you're an evil murderer? Please live with us! Emma would probably forgive Hitler.
-No tension or suspense this entire season, I predicted every single "twist" and no one was ever in danger
-Isabella being turned into an unbelievable good guy when she was a fantastic antagonist with a ton of potential for this season
-So many "traitor" moments that held no weight at all because it was all predictable
-Drop in animation quality, shitty CGI monsters
-What was that thing about Sonju wanting to eat wild humans? Why hasn't that been brought up again? What an interesting storyline that was apparently forgotten
-No real background info on Sonju and Mujika
-No one ever contradicts Emma; Ray, Don, and Gilda become mostly meaningless background characters
-So many deus ex machina moments in ep 10 that it was almost funny

There's more but that's all I want to type. I had really high hopes for this season and was actually excited that it was supposedly going in a different direction than the manga. I became more disappointed with each episode but episode 10 really sealed the deal for me. I haven't watched 11 yet, but don't have real hope that it will improve the problems listed here. I'm probably going to bump my 5 down to a 4 or 3, depending on the finale.

This has nothing to do with the manga readers. I've never read the manga and I thought it was going to be awesome that it didn't follow the manga because manga readers are usually annoying with their constant complaints. This anime is just bad though, or maybe mediocre at best.

Tell me the issues then that makes this season so horrible and absolutely unlikeable as you said, since imo all that sounds overly exaggerated.

Alright, first of all the characters.

Ray was such a cool, badass character in the first season, now? He's just so bland, he's sole purpose on the show now is just to be Emma's sidekick, he has no personality compared to what he was like in the first season, just very disappointing as a character now.

For Emma, I can't really explain why I dislike her, it's just that I don't full understand how fast she changed her mind about wanting to kill all the demons but suddenly changed her mind after seeing like 2 nice demons out of so many other cruel demons in their world, her character just doesn't ,make sense, and she makes such stupid decisions at times.

Norman had lots of potential as a villain, but was just ruined pretty quickly after that lame 20 second speech by Emma that made him change the plans he's been plotting for years.

As for the side characters, oh boy, do they suck big time. The children are so annoying, I would've been so satisfied if a group of demons just came out and slaughtered them all, that may sound very cruel, but they added nothing to the show, except for useless montages of them playing around or whatever.

Norman's lackies seemed weird to begin with, we barley got to know anything about them, they also seemed to be down to the idea of killing all the demons, but suddenly, they changed their minds too for some reason, it makes zero sense.

Pacing is atrocious, especially that timeskip in episode 5, and how they just did not show us how they got out of the bunker, and just skipped that whole event that could've actually led to something enjoyable.

Speaking of the bunker, it was my favorite part of this shitshow, and it had zero plot relevancy to the show, what was the point of the bunker if it wasn't gonna affect the show in any way.

Writing and dialogue is just so bad sometimes, like Norman just speaking to the kids and Emma, telling them about his experiences for about 10 minutes, and that was it, just him talking, in order to reach the pinnacle of storytelling, you must Show and not just Tell, they showed no flashbacks, nothing, it was such a bore to watch, it was like watching some child in elementary school tell his classmates about a cool thing he found.

Not to mention the Isabella scene in the most recent episode, that was just sudden and came out of nowhere, didn't make sense at all. This season really does suffer in making these twists, another example is Norman coming back, which was very lackluster and unemotional, at least for me.

Tons of plot holes as well, but the most memorable one must be that freaking pen, that just conveniently had every solution for every conflict in this show, like with the cure for norman's illness, and the directions for the farm or whatever, it was just so lazy, and used as a plot device that came out of nowhere, like the pen might as well have a button that says, "Press this button to kill all those meany demons and save the Earth once and for all!"

So many plot lines dropped, and characters with zero backstory or unclear motivations, like the two demons they met aw the beginning, I don't even fucking know their names, they're that irrelevant.

Sound and animation are fine, though the animation wasn't as good as the first season, it was sort of lazy at times, but still passable, except for the shitty demon cgi, god that looked awful.

So, yeah that's what I hate so much about this show, it's all totally subjective, you might find all of these things fine, and you might not be bothered by them at all.

Thanks for your pov and I understand what you mean. Some points made about this and that don't make sense I have to disagree with tho, cause the reasoning got actually showed, maybe you didn't realize it. As example why

"suddenly" changed his mind and Ray's character, also it made sense why Isabella

. I don't wanna get into it too long/deep cause that would be exhausting:

Anyways some of your points are valid even though I myself don't see it as that bad since there's worse. But that was interesting.

YO something incredible has happened!

I just checked their scores:

The Promised Neverland S1 = 8.64
The Promised Neverland S2= 6.48

I love how it's the same numbers just in a different arrangement (and for good reason).
Just wanted to point that out

this might actually drop to the 5 territory at this rate.
regardless this must be the biggest score gap from s1 to s2 in the history of anime

this is incredible. truly a wonder to behold. we may never see this happen again

to the few people still blaming the "manga readers" for season 2's awful rating: SHUT UP, DUMMIES. the manga entry on MAL has barely over 200k members. the TPN2 anime entry has 550k. there are MANY MORE "anime only" members than "manga" members

what does that mean? it means your excuse for the hilariously awful season 2 rating is full of crap
