TO ALL OF YOU SAYING TAKOPII IS 10/10 ANIME

To the people calling him a grading inspector: He's putting out an opinion that "dark doesn't equal depth," which this anime heavily leans into. You can like the show for its vibe, how it makes you feel, it's fine. He's simply trying to say that the story lacks the depth of real trauma victims, because it doesn't explore them as deeply as other stories. He also clearly says that the themes are dark and emotionally potent, which they are, the anime/manga's bold approach of having children commit suicide, murder other kids does leave a lasting impact.

I am a therapist and I deal with suicides and urges to murder and this just lacks the real depth of those people who deal with those problems. Some people may take it as undermining those real problems, I don't. Which is fine, the themes of this story still try to tell you something special and that's amazing, if you think it's a 10/10, then that's okay.

I enjoyed the show with my wife and got a good message from it and that's truly the most important part at least for us, though there are a lot this anime can improve in, like those I stated, just because it hits hard doesn't mean it doesn't have space for valid critism.

Every single story has plot holes, of course, it's how you handle them that matters. Since this anime hasn't finished airing yet, we can't tell yet. If adults act irrationally in a story about emotionally neglected kids, and that irrationality is intentional, then it’s not a plot hole, it’s part of the tone. But if it feels like the adults are acting stupid just to advance the drama, that can start to feel artificial. Whatever the viewer interprets, that's why I say plot holes are an opinion, unless it's handled so badly that it's just not plausible to be logical.
Though, I do disagree with your claim that the anime can't have that much depth in 2 hours and 30 minutes of total runtime (I'm assuming for all 6 episodes, because the 2 episodes are roughly 1 hour). One of the most realistic depictions of suicide is Chainsaw Man part 2 with Asa Mitaka, which shows the despair someone feels when pondering suicide, and it does that in one chapter that's about 60 pages. For example: "Hypothetically... if one person in class... had to jump off a roof... and that person was to be chosen in a vote... I think they'd all vote for me. I'd vote for me too." And there's more just packed in that chapter, her contradictions, etc.

That's comparing two completely different things. Different characters, different plot, different worldbuilding, themes, etc. There is something good about this show, but comparing it to Promised Neverland 2 is not fair, I'm not saying there isn't something good with this anime, I'm saying it's bad to compare the 2.

Pacing issues in PN S2 are a separate problem from “emotional manipulation.” If you rate PN S2 poorly because it leapt forward too fast or made baffling character choices, that’s a critique of its writing and edit, not its tragic content. Lumping that together with Takopi’s emotional beats conflates distinct elements of storytelling.

And, like I said OP's message is an opinion, not factual, you can't invalidate opinions. The only thing remotely close to a statement by OP was that there are a lot of plot holes in the adults, which can be considered an opinion based on its worded, but ultimately it isn't.

He thinks this show has a lot of issues he never gives examples or specific moments. It's like saying that the show doesn't have any plot holes relating to the adults, without explaining why every single thing is not a plot hole, that is still 'thinking' which makes it a personal interpretation. Just because PN 2's tragedy doesn't mean that that extends to the entire genre/theme. Either way, I'd rather step down from the argument, since we can't come up with a conclusion after 3 or 2 replies. Thank you.
