| awful that they missed alot of things from manga. it hurts to watch anymore XD |
 |
| Could it be that Minerva can rescue one of them, or a loved one? that shelter was rubbish, it was discovered too soon, and the worst thing is that it is difficult to understand how they found them The demon of the last minutes, could he be a transformed walker, or what was that? |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| My thoughts are all over the place after watching that. Absolutely hated the scenes with the children in the bunker and outside hunting. Hate shitty anime comedy. That took up way too much of this episode. I was still expecting Yuugo to pop up at some point but to my surprise he never did. My mind was blown IN A GOOD WAY when they showed because at that point I finally came to the realization they were truly going with a new story, or at the least a mix of manga and anime only content. However, I absolutely hated when Also, the attack on the bunker was a cool surprise initially, but ultimately underwhelming given that scene in the source material was all about So in summary. This was a mixed bag. I am happy that the anime is doing its own thing. But at least as far as this episode is concerned I am upset that they didn't go full blown original and instead adapted the beginning and end of Goldy Pond in the shittiest way possible while also bringing back Isabella which imo so far feels like a dumb move. |
| Need a reason to create tension and get the plot moving because your SoL sequences are bad? Just blow up the shelter and have soldiers invade it. Of course two children will defeat an armed and equipped soldier. Of course that soldier won't scream or call for a team formation to chase those children. Of course there's an underground passage they can use to escape Of course one of the children used it as a playground so they know the way. Of course there's an extra exit the soldiers don't know about but the child does. Of course there's no soldiers outside near the shelter Of course the soldiers are exactly at their destination to capture them (near the woods). Of course a big monster appears and kills all the soldiers who apparently weren't prepared for it. Of course a single child with balls of steel shoots an arrow at the monster. Of course Ray shoots another and hits the eye. Of course it's the monster's weak spot, which the soldiers with GUNS couldn't hit once. Now, ain't all that pretty damn nuts? |
| The episode felt stupid not gonna lie. The first half was pointless and felt out of place (Atleast from my perspective). Didn't feel any thrill or tension in the infiltration part since the trained armed soldiers were apparently idiots compared to 11 year old kids. I just hope the next episodes won't be as bad as this one. 2/5 |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| In pain because they left out best boy T_T I wanted the goldy pond arc so bad bro it was so good in the manga. And it really made me like Emma even more as a character. But I think whoever's in charge just wants to skip everything so they can get right to the end. idk if this is a consequence of covid or something, and they just couldn't afford to animate the whole thing, but it still sucks :/ I guess this is interesting, but Goldy pond was so good it'll take a lot to top it in my opinion. |
 |
| I'm not worried despite the changing story. I trust the author because I'm sure he has another storyline in mind and to discover a changed sequel! |
Resus-2 said: Graciaus said: The manga didn't have solders attack? Because what just happened was awful. The manga also had soldiers attacking that base but it happened way later, the anime skipped like 1.5 (or 2) arcs and went straight for the soldiers attacking scene. In the manga it was pretty bad, some people may have liked that crap but I certainly didn't, that being said, in the anime this soldier scene is even worse because it came out of nowhere. In the manga that scene at least had some development surrounding it, the anime didn't have development at all so the anime is already looking even worse than the manga. the manga version was more lethal for both sides. this was somehow much worse than the human invasion in the manga.. |

THIS ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE! Talk about plot armor at its finest. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I am an anime only, but I have something to say to the Manga readers. I can understand your disappointment and I can understand your worrys. But Shirai is in the staff and controlled, that nothing get messed up. I heard, that the Manga ending was pretty bad for many people. And I think, they try to make it better. Don't judge too early. Let's wait for the other episodes. I personally don't think it will be bad, like Tokyo Ghoul. P.S. after knowing, that the Anime will going Original, I will buy the complete Manga, lol xD |
| okay so now we're talking serious betting better hype intense! 5/5. |

Dukino said: manga author of TG was helping as well in root A.leifsoeren said: Neverland Root A has started. With that the hope for certain characters died. The episode was so random. Several arcs were simply skipped over. hahaha - not good Completely different from the tg situation. We have the manga author here working on the anime. Y'all being so negative is sickening |
| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| Wow, probably the biggest personal disappointment of this season. I haven't read the manga but after hearing that they skipped so many chapters, i'm seriously considering switching to manga. This season really lack what was good about the first one, the suspense. I was eagerly watching every episode and hoping that they will successfully escape and now i just don't really care. They just run around trying to escape the demons and bad CGI monsters (Seriously, i understand that CGI really saves a lot of money but why is it nearly always so horrible?). Most of the characters aren't developed at all. I understand that with so many characters giving everyone a good development would be very hard but we're supposed to care about the lives of these children and currently i only care about Emma, Ray, Gilda, Don and Phil. Everyone else can die. Now they are bringing back the mother and they're making a badass child hunter out of her? And why does every demon, except for Sonju and Mujika, look the same? Isn't there a main villain they could show us? (I know that the demons as a whole species are the main antagonists but seriously). Overall, the quality between the first season and this one make me wish that the anime adaptation should end with them escaping the farm. I'll still continue watching but my expectations are really low. It makes me really angry that i didn't start reading the manga after the first season ended and i waited like a fool for the second one. |

| Eating potentially poisonous fish even though they have plenty of other food. The monster appears out of nowhere and only kills the soldiers, the children are saved. Also this Vorgier said: Why were they wearing gas masks if they didn't plan on gassing them? If they were trying to capture them why use guns? Jesus, that was dumb. |
| looney tunes tier story |
| I'm not upset that they're changing things, but it seems like they're repeating the same mistakes they did in the manga where there's basically no consequences to anything. Like, kill off a few fodder kids, how hard is that? When they were getting raided I thought this might be an interesting situation because they're kids going against armed soldiers and they'd have to resort to what they're good at which is mind games. But nope. Just throw a cup at them and everything just magically works out. Plus, there was no build up to this, they were just chilling and eating gross fish one minute and then it came out of nowhere. One thing that is interesting though is the fact that they're bringing back Isabella, and she's arguably the only good antagonist in the series so I'd like to see where that goes. |

| I'm conflicted whether to hate this change or stay neutral. Certainly not liking it so far. The episode felt insanely rushed! The human soldiers came out of nowhere and died like flies to a convenient demon (you'd expect more from soldiers who are AWARE of demon weak-spots). The shelter is already abandoned, just like that! Isabella made reappearance already! I wouldn't mind if they skipped or changed later parts, but what they did is alarming! At this point I don't know if they plan on ending the story THIS very season?! Maybe there'll be one more? -_- Still hoping for the best, but the suspicion of this turning into the "biggest disappointment of the season" is killing me... |
KuroNekoAlchemy said: lets not forget how soldiers were wearing gas masks despite not using gas, how they blew up the entrance instead of stealthy getting in and how the idiot attracted the monster by firing entire clip into the air bruh they should change the genre from thriller to comedy while they're at it |
| So... They skipped 50+ or so chapters and went straight to the next arc, skipping half of an unfinished arc that had started in the last episode and the entirety of Goldy Pond, and rushing through some of the first 10 entire chapters of Culvitidala arc in a poorly presented mess of a way. Haven't been this disappointed by an adaptation in a while now. That's an entire text-heavy tankobon worth of content they adapted here missing a whole lot of important information from the previous arc, and this can't work retroactively either, like some people are speculating with wishful thinking. They can't even adapt Goldy Pond now, because the whole point of that arc was getting more pieces of the mystery to go straight to where they are heading now. Even some plot points in here make no sense without the conclusion for Goldy Pond lol They will have to retcon a ton of stuff real hard to make any assemblance of consistency when it comes to the whole picture built as the arcs progressed in the manga. 1,5/5 |

| - Bella: so demon boss, my help? How could you not get the kids yet? they are mostly just small children lost in a forest surrounded by a desert, it can't be that difficult, since we have technology and super-strength etc. - Boss: erm... You know we demons can't handle your human technology, our hands are too big... - Bella: and the human squad of elite? - Boss: look, to us you are just food, so i'm afraid i hired the most stupid team ever... Bella, please help us. |
 |
| this was..... pretty bad. The pacing, the story from the manga, the logic and everything. Like WHY. The Goldy Pond Arc it's what makes the series. I think, i'am going to drop this next eps if the best boy don't show up |
 |
| Yeah, I think I’ll like this development. The manga sucked ass anyway after the first arc, so it’s worth giving this anime original route a chance |
| Even if we ignore how the anime is going original, we cannot ignore how badly executed this episode was. The pacing was off, the tension is gone, it looked more like an adventure/fun shounen, than the horror, tension-filled shounen it's supposed to be. Can anybody honestly tell me if there was a point where they feared for the characters' lives in this episode? This is all very disappointing, it doesn't look like we'll get much of the world building that arc brought. It looks like we'll be glossing over some parts so that the anime can focus on ... slice of life (?? and shallow plot points I'm sure they took out that arc is because they wanted to finish the story probably with s3 (might also be the reason why mama is reintroduced so early). (Another note: it made absolutely no sense how much they hyped the bunker, only for them to be kicked out one episode later) |
Game over. If that's the case, I just have to play again. |
| The problem with tpn manga was that the kids suffered little to no consequences for their actions [b]even though they lived in a world surrounded by demons who would very much like to eat them[\b], which made the story less believable and less engaging. Why would you care about what the characters are going through if you know that somehow or other things are gonna be fine in the end? I was hoping that the anime going original would fix that very glaring mistake, but this episode just showed us it's probably not gonna fix that |

| Oh damn. I have a mixed feelings for this adaptation. They should probably add , yet somehow it looks like several arcs were mixed within this episode. |
 |
| I think it's still pretty enjoyable despite the changes, and I honestly like Isabella's involvement. But, yeah why they gotta erase my boi from existence like that. I think they should have just adapted everything normally until Goldy Pond and then do whatever the fuck they want after it since that's honestly where it started to be not as good as it was. Well, I'll still watch it and enjoy it by itself, you never know some interesting things might come out of it maybe. |
 |
| Bow > assault rifle. Child > soldier. Anime > manga. |
| wtf with the anime ? :O they skip so many thing and characters. I waanted to see ths arc in anime and so we will don't see it, i'm so frustrated :O |
| As a manga reader, I will continue to watch and see where this goes. But I will still be pretty annoyed that they’re going anime original. |
| Ohh look at these manga bros are upset... This is why I'm always watching the Anime first before checking out the Manga, because i don't want my experience from watching Anime got ruined... It will be supervisor by the Author Kaiu Shirai... I'm really glad to be an Anime Only, sucks for you Manga Bros... Now all you have is Negative thought... |

| Last time I experienced a drop this big, dubstep was still relevant. Gonna finish the season but my expectations are pretty low. |

I was hoping that the anime going original would fix that very glaring mistake, but this episode just showed us it's probably not gonna fix that Thats one problem, the other problem was emma being mary sue. But it seems that Shiari doesn't realise that, maybe no one communicated to him what's wrong with his manga and why everyone thought it sucks from certain point onward? Because he's making exact same mistakes now, its a sad circus But at least in manga we had 6 faction political struggle, modified firearms, mutants, genocide, various characters with conflicting ideas and all the building blocks of a great story and setting, with only flawed thing being the execution. So he decided to scrap all the great things, and leave the flawed execution. I don't understand that and can't see it as anything else than purposeful self sabotage, he can't be this stupid. |
| Skipping the poachers is an unforgivable offense. Yuugo to, but my dissapointment in not having the poacher story is immeasurable. You can tell because i very rarely post anything in these forums. |

They skipped one of the best antagonist in the series and THE best arc of the story. You still have time, stop watching the anime and go and read the manga if you want to experience the promised Neverland in the best way. Nope, i will read it later after the Anime is finished... Why would i stop watching the Anime, just because of "Anime Original" that will be supervisor by the Author himself lol As i said, I'm glad to have a blind Experience into the Anime, i can enjoying the Anime for what is was... Must be sucks to know all the story before watching it, no surprise at all.. |

EverNight said: I'm an anime only...I wanted to know about that one scene when isabella agreed to chase children again after the demon persuading her with sth in ep 4...so...is this eventually going to happen in the manga or it is just anime thingy?
