| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- They have been rescued by the two demons, they say they dont eat humans but they still seem suspicious. At least there is still a human territory but they still have to find it. They are training to use a bow, it is extremely hard actually Im surprised they manage to do it easily.Still very nice to finally see kids working hard both at school and outside. Emma is a good student and will be great at hunting. I hate this kind of birds, killing it with the gupna looked good The landscapes outside looked very good |
 |
| Demons Sonju and Mujika have heralded their demonic presence onto Ray, Emma and the Grace Field children escapees, giving them the presence of mind as heretics, as opposed to the human-eating demons. The world that hasn't changed in 30 years, the Earth that has both humans and demons living in harmony through a promise...and the Grace Field House a living house for high-grade humans for breeding, there is still hope to see the "promised" human world for the segregated world over 1000 years, but it's another to cross it. In the meantime, learning the survival instinct is essential for the Grace Field children, and worries over the 4 grown-ups (Ray, Emma, Don and Gilda) are warranted. Emma requesting Sonju for the intent to kill, seems like a legit reason to protect the children in case of impending troubles. The Gupna demonic ceremony...that's how Conny and the others were dealt the same way: an offering to the gods. It takes a strong resolution to step into the outside world, this world is ever cruel. |

| Religious demons the so called heretics of this society, in other words omnivorous demons. I honestly thought the kids were gonna panic and lose hope, but the exact opposite occurred. It was funny and heartwarming to see the younger siblings scolding Emma and Ray. |

| Meeting 2 kind demons, and a great tale they showed us there, so there was something like that in the past, where demon and human hunted/fightback each other till they got tired and make an agreement like that. I liked Emma and Ray confidence and hopeful attitude about it, I hope they will really find a way to cross that thousand-years isolated human part of the Earth. Emma learning how to hunt, its gonna be useful for them for sure in the still long-journey they'll face. It's kinda sad to see Emma cries like that, but I'm glad of the kind demon Sonju can soothe her there. Don't worry Emma you can do it, go through all of it some more, so does everyone, will do their best. |
 |
| Good thing Sonju and Mujika are "good demons"... But are they really? Interesting, the world has been split into two sides, demons and humans. It happened over 1000 years ago, I guess that's the "promise". There has to be a way to get to the other side though right? |
 |
| Very interesting explanations with the two worlds, and that outside part with Emma was good but so much pain for her, it's harsh.... |
 |
| That was great. Better pacing from the previous episode and infact, this episode felt like a breeze to watch as the kids now try to adapt to the survival life after being saved by Sonju and Mujika, demons who don't even eat human flesh. We learn exposition about the world and what's happening in the past and present, get some interactions between the kids who worry for Emma and Ray who both put themselves in extreme danger (suicidal levels even) to save the others, and have Emma even train a bit with surviving by hunting. Overall for a survival show now, this was a really enjoyable episode that also looked really good too visually with some impressive cinematography overall, especially for the hunting scene when Emma had to shoot with the bow. |
2077 said: damn, things just got a lot more interesting, that was a really nice reveal. cant wait to find out more about this world. seems like emma is feeling conflicted, dont get why she wont just become vegan?? Being vegan only works in our modern world (soja, quinoa, stuff you can buy in any store). It would be impossible to survive in the wild without meat. |
 |
| So there is supposedly a human side of the world and a demon side, I am skeptical of whether that is actually true. Emma kills for the first time and that looks like it will affect her viewpoint and future actions. I really like how free the camera is in this series, its use of camera movement gives it a more cinematic and visually stimulating feel. |
| another amazing episode and the two demons seem really friendly and respectful. |
 |
| The two kind demons felt pretty weird. They never explained why they didn't eat humans exept "religious reasons". Why they are in the forest ? Why are they considered heretics ? We know nothing of their motives. And what is weirder is that Ray (supposedly one of the smartest characters) didn't even questionned that. I wish wecould know more about them. |
| |
| We finally learned a bit about their world. A world divided between humans and demons. I feel sorry for the humans who were sacrificed for the demons. Will the kids be able to go to the human side? |
 |
| Pretty good episode. Wouldn't have guessed that there are actual demons who wouldn't eat children due to something like religious beliefs. I'd still be wary of Sonju and Mujika regardless, especially if I'm a kid. It's cool that the kids get taken care of and have Sonju and Mujika teach them certain skills in order to be able to survive. Emma struggling at first to kill a living creature makes sense. No kid wants to hurt an innocent animal but the determination to survive is what has to be most crucial for the group. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Nice episode I guess ? 8/10 |
| i prefer the pacing of this episode rather than the previous one. pretty entertaining preparation ngl. great world building. hope those demons won't eat them >< and what happened to emma..? was she just still feeling pain after what happened or did something else happen to her? |
 |
| It's really reassuring to know the4e a good demons out there like these two. Is it just me or do these demons have different appearances from the other demons, perhaps a result of not eating any humans. I wonder what the demons do with the human when the Vida doesn't bloom. |
 |
| This feels more like a filler segment, tbh. Doesn't feel like much stuff happened at all. It felt so lax. Even the revelations felt excessively underwhelming. There's nothing to go "oh shit" about anymore, compared to s1. Emma and Ray (likely Norman as well) are apparently the only ones important to the entire series, it seems. Sure, this part seemed better paced than the first episode, but is that truly a good thing, though? The choice of music here was also weird (though there wasn't much BG music to begin with), especially during the part when they were all eating dinner. Overall, the episode did nothing for me in particular besides remind me of the trainwreck to come. |
 |
| Good episode introducing Sonju and Mujika as well as the backstory of the demons and humans having separate worlds. This’ll be one of the most important eps going forward in this series. As a manga reader nothing much else to comment on. Art and animation were pretty good this ep as usual from CW. |

| Hmm its nice to see Emma and co encounter some friendly locals after all that they have been through. Heretics huh. To think that the division of the world originated from a promise that was proposed by the humans. So the farms were the result of this promise wow. Still the unexpected elation from Emma and Ray sure was funny given how unexpected it was. While the journey ahead will be tough its nice that Mujika and Sonju are willing to teach them new things that will aid them in it. Gilda's explosion though was hillarious but showed well just how worried she was. The kids gang up on Ray too also proved that point. The hunting scene sure provided some excellent tension. Overall an excellent ep that did well both in expanding upon the world via the revelation about the promise and pointing Emma and co in the direction of their next goal. |

| I want to see I liked the episode, it didnt feel rushed this time. I guess well get to |
| not bad again. Mijuku is top tier waifu <3 so there are friendly demons out there as well |
 |
| I know people say the manga gets worse but so far I think and have high hopes that this season will be really good! Not my anime of the season but still great so far. |
| Did I start crying when Emma mentioned that she saw the ganju plant before as it was stabbed into Connie's heart?? Maybe..... 😭 |
 |
| So Soaju and Mujika rescues the kids because they don't eat humans. They are considered the heretics of society and they choose to eat everything but human flesh. It was nice seeing Sonju and Mujika helping the kids on how to survive better in the forest, a very solid ep. Also, like the character development that Emma kinda had in the end. |
 |
| Those two demons are still suspicious |
 |
| It was hard to see Emma realize that the demons are only trying to survive the same way she and the others are every time they eat meat. Broke my heart to learn that the kids who left Grace Field were alive when they had that flower stabbed into their hearts. I also found the truth about their world a bit of a roller coaster; on the one hand, there's the hope that Ray and Emma feel knowing there's somewhere safe for them, but there's also the horror that their own kind willingly created this barbaric system. |

| The explanation was still way way better in the manga, it had better visuals that went along side with the explanation. -_- Little disappointed because it wasn’t executed as good as I hoped it would. |

| So they are friendly demons who don't eat humans and are basically heretics to that demon society. Pretty interesting. The one thing right now that I find the most suspicious, is what is written on the tree, cause I still can't seem to read the top half of what was written there. Some solid development for Emma though. She realised that whatever they are doing to stay alive, is no different than what the demons are doing. Rip Ceddy though, never knew you exsisted till today. |
 |
| I honestly loved this episode. Seeing the kids interact with eachother again gives me such a heartwarming feeling. Also nice that they showed that Gilda and Don are really looking out for Emma and Ray too. They're a sweet family. Emma is so cute and smart. She is so responsible and mature for her age but she is still human and we can see that the situation has taken a toll on her. That flower must have brought back many dark memories for her but she still keeps moving forward. Her deceased friends would be very proud of her. Sounjou and Mujika are cool teaching the kids how to survive and stuff, they're very kind. I hope their personalities flourish in future episodes. Animation in this episode was pretty great imo! Soundtrack and sound effects in general are always so well done in this series. They add so much to the atmosphere of every scene, makes you feel like you're there. Emma is such a cutie  |
 |
| There's something about Mujika and Sonju...the way they live, act and talk makes me wonder if they are former humans. A divided world between demons and humans. Now I understand why the show is titled "The Promised Neverland." Emma and her crew now have a reason to live. To get to the human side of the world! If you wanna survive you gotta do whatever it takes and Emma understands that concept. |
 |
| First hunt. It was brutal. We clearly saw Emma lose a piece of her humanity. It was portrayed really well. The pain in her eyes... A completely beautiful episode. |

I just hope these questions will answered because these two guys are quite mysterious. Leaving those two characters blank would be a waste. |
| |
| The whole backstory behind the world was interesting, although I feel like there's more to it that they either don't know or aren't telling us. Idk just a theory. They seem to have fixed the pacing from the first episode, luckily, and if it stays like this I have hope that it's gonna be a good season, although probably not on the same level as the first one. |

| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Emma is getting on my nerves. I go from this show is horrible, to painfully mediocre, and then I guess it's okay. And then it just repeats. |
