There will be spoilers so don't read if you don't want to get spoiled...



Personally, I love the art style. But, with everything in the story, it feels rushed after around volume 14 in the amount of small panels (still great art tho). I have a love hate relationship with Yakusoku no Neverland, I hoped the anime would solve the pacing problems that were in the manga, but once season 2 was revealed to be original and started showing more pacing problems I felt terrible. The manga was so close to being amazing overall, but the pacing a large component they messed up on. I always ... ask myself how the story would be if they were given more time, would it be perfect? Nonetheless, we can't go back in time, and with what we have, including the ending that I wish was more significant, the story is still close to my heart. At the same time though, I wish the problems never existed. One of my issues, besides pacing, is Ray's character after halfway through the story. He became less significant once Norman was introduced back again. Although, I do enjoy Norman's character, it was satisfying to see how complex he was. I also, and it may seem dark, wish there were more deaths. I believe a better ending would have been Emma telling them at the end that she can't come with them, and to have them live for her, being the last meal for the whatever tf his name is (and this would play into the neverland, no true promised land without sacrifice). I also believe more character background for the kids at Goldypond, whether in an OVA or not, existed. It pains me more for how I wished that the anime would fill the holes that were in the manga, only to feel worse once the second season was released.

And yet I still love the story with the problems, I think somehow it's still such a complex story that everyone should read. Although, if the creators could go back I would have waited for a story without pacing problems. That is what I dream of at night. It's ironic, because the perfect Promised Neverland is what we will probably will never have.
