It’ll be the same effect as Norman’s poison water only slower and potentially more painful. For starters, the demons will die if they don’t eat humans are a while anyway. There are a few problems with that though. The problem is that Emma now wants to spare the demons. The demons won’t stand a chance and humanity will finally be saved at long last. The scary thing about the plan is how easy it will be and yet it will still be super effective. So Norman’s plan is he’ll poison the water and in that way they will end the entire demon race. It’s something you would see a lot of in Attack on Titan. It does end up hurting her character though because one thing I don’t like is when a character is opposing the main plan but has no actual solution. It turns out that demons have families and loved ones as well so this puts Emma in a rather difficult place. Things are more complicated in season 2 though since she has now met demons who are not really combatants. She’s certainly come a long way since in season 1 she wanted to escape at all costs and would slaughter any demon who got in her way. First up is Emma since she is the main character after all. That’s enough on the pacing though, lets talk about the characters and how they ended up shaking out in this version. The ending’s far better than the manga version though so I’ll give you that. ![]() The show throws in a few Easter Eggs like the wolf girl appearing in a prison cell and at least a reference to GoldyPond but that’s about it for throwing a bone to the fans who missed some of the skipped content. That’s not something you’ll get to see here. The actual promise with the alien thing? That’s a single camera shot here so if you were watching The Promised Neverland for…the promise, then you’re out of luck. The final episode can be almost funny though with how things are skipped over. The kids don’t have guns in this version so they’re even more outmatched. ![]() It also helps that the villains always miss their shots when they’re firing their guns or don’t fire at all. There are a lot of plot convenient things happening here though like an old man who has every answer you can possibly need and the villains getting foiled because of numerous traitors and getting overconfident. The demons are clearly awful at their jobs as well as the human guards. I still have to say that it feels like a lot of plot hax how he actually survived and escaped though. ![]() Norman showing up near the beginning of the show felt rather crazy since it was a big deal that he was gone. You can see how things get sped up at the beginning and ending though. It’s always interesting learning more about the world and there is certainly a whole lot of dialogue here. On a technical level it felt like this show was sort of just going through the motions. I wouldn’t call it bad, but it doesn’t leave any kind of impact. That one’s fairly iconic at this point while this one just sort of fades away. The new theme song definitely isn’t up to par with the original one either. How the times have changed eh? The CG is fairly minimal though and in a way I guess if you’re going to use it for something, demons make sense since it makes them look that much more crazy.įor the soundtrack, it’s also not too memorable. They’re mainly only relevant when they’re getting beat up and need Emma’s help. The demons have lost their edge compared to season 1 though so don’t expect them to be all that intimidating here. It’s pretty standard stuff with some giant CG demons running around. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the animation in the first season and it’s more or less the same here. Still, it’s a cruel world out there so this environment is going to test all of her abilities. Emma has promised that she would go and save the rest of the kids though so no matter what happens, she won’t be leaving without them. Now that they were out of the orphanage they could try and either get over to the proper human world or at least survive somewhere safe. Last time, the kids had just escaped and were on the run. Granted I was never the biggest fan of the manga but the anime effectively toned down some of the darker elements of the story and made it more of a standard adventure which I’m game with. ![]() At the very least it was fun keeping up with all the theories on why it ended so quickly and all of that but the burning question is…did it change for the better? Well…I have to say that it did. It’s certainly a unique case where it seems like the studio just wanted to wrap it up as soon as possible. It really did a number on the fans who wanted a faithful adaption and even to non fans who felt it was super rushed and didn’t feel natural. The Promised Neverland Season 2 was definitely very controversial to say the least.
