Ha! I can finally say that I was right! THEY WERE SPEEDRUNNING FOR NORMAN. Am I happy about it? Of course not! But let’s start from the beginning.
Basically, this episode was the last turning point - they could either go for something amazing or fall into 6/10 at most. I don’t think you will be surprised how it went, in my opinion.
- So, we didn’t have major timeskip in the last episode, but in this one… oh, boy! Remember how I was hoping that they would show us how they survive after losing everything? How we might get new stuff? Well, I was wrong. But that’s not the for thing. We were lied about getting anime original. What we are indeed getting is “The Promised Neverland: The Abridged Series”. They are getting scenes that will go manga readers go “Ah, I remember! It was an amazing moment”, but all we are getting is an image without context and emotional bearing.
- Farm have been attacked - cool, but do you remember that anime onlies don’t know about mass produced farms? Because that’s an important detail. Well, at least that told me that Norman is indeed alive.
- The scene between Emma and Ray would be sweet… if it had any meaning. We didn’t seem them grow as friends. We didn’t see them travelling and fighting in Goldy Pond. We didn’t see them gain more respect for each other. So why should I feel anything about it? Look at the picture below. It’s still, it has no colours, you don’t hear anything, and yet it tells you a lot about their wonderful relationship. Anime failed miserably here
- You know what people who are running away do? Light up buildings that haven’t been used for ages because, yeah, nobody will catch them, right?
- And that just make me ask: where is Isabella? Why they gave her that amazing scene in the last episode if it doesn’t seem like she became a major threat. They have been on the go for almost a year, for heavens’ sake!
- Again, the scene with the old demon would be amazing if we got more from Emma in this season. All we got is: she is kind for everybody. THAT”S WHY GOLDY POND IS IMPORTANT! Because she needs to come out of her comfort zone! Because she realizes that sometimes kindness isn’t enough. That’s why her later acts of selflessness are so impactful - because despite everything she is stil herself.
- x2 Again, the scene with demons trying to save their siblings would be amazing if it was done better. Don’t expect the viewers to become invested because you show them suffering children. That’s not enough. That’s why worldbuilding is so important. To be clear, manga also wasn’t perfect in that sense. BUT! I think that attack on the capitol, killing of those who drunk cursed blood and Ayshe backstory are well written and make it all better. I’m just greedy and want more.
- Remember how this anime actually had good chase scenes? I’m waiting more Ray is Sasuke memes because it looked Naruto parody, not gonna lie.
- And now for the big one. Remember how in the manga you suddenly find out that William Minerwa is actually alive and is planning to destroy the farms? Children are taken to a secret hideout that became home to many cattle children. Emma decides to meet the big boss herself and then
Easily one of the best wholesome moments in the manga. But it keeps going!
So! Surely anime will give us something similar amazing, right? Right? Or, you know, you can just turn Norman into Robin Hood and make him take off his mask in the middle of a town filled with demons. But that would be silly because he is the smartest child from Grace Field, right? RIGHT?
Guys, I tried to stay optimistic, I really did… but this episode broke me on so many levels. It’s not just that they are changing things up. It’s that they take things away and don’t offer anything in return.
Anyway, I won’t drop this series because I appreciate interacting with this lovely community. I think that TPN fandom is really amazing and I adore talking to all of you. Fortunately, we still have manga, fanarts and fanfictions! On the topic of that, since I’m about to graduate, I will soon come back to my own post-canon fanfic. I honestly can’t wait because I didn’t have time to write anything in months.
So, in conclusion, TPN deserves more than that. It’s not a perfect manga, but that doesn’t stop me from loving it. And as for the anime… if season 1 is Empire Strikes Back, season 2 is Rise of the Skywalker
i wish writers could give nimue more character. i really want to like her, but for now she is just okay to me, cause there is almost nothing interesting about her character.
i have hopes for second season and some character development.

so did you lay in bed blasting fireflies by owl city as a kid staring up at the ceiling while imagining running away to a happier place bc you grew up on fairy tales and make believe stories since you didnt really have the best social skills due to undiagnosed neurodivergency and thus didnt have a lot of friends so you spent all that extra time you had induldging in fictional stories and then grew up believing maybe one day youd get to go on a magical adventure like those stories had so youd spent so much time just longing for an escape and to go somewhere you understood bc you didnt understand people but you did understand all those stories you read or are you normal
