Thoughts<\/b>: <\/span>The Promised Neverland Season 2<\/span><\/i> will likely go down as one of the most tragic endings in the anime<\/a> world, and I don\u2019t mean that in the good, heart-wrenching way. After an incredibly well-produced first season that left audiences begging for a second season, the team opted to instead smash everything together to tie a nice bow around the entire series<\/a> as a final goodbye. And it was an absolute mess.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Promised Neverland <\/span><\/i>follows a group of orphans who grew up in Gracefield. After discovering the awful truth about their world, the children decided to take matters into their own hands to do whatever it takes to survive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Everything the first season excelled at was completely missing from the second season. Though I expected a genre shift after the end of the first season, the writing differed so much in quality between the first and second season that it made me more sad than bored. I leaped at the laptop whenever there was a new episode, yet I couldn\u2019t help but feel a sinking feeling in my stomach as I watched each episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even as someone who didn\u2019t read the manga, I could tell how much material was skipped because of how quickly conflicts got resolved and how fast the story progressed. In one particular episode, I remember counting a total of five separate conflicts getting resolved within minutes of each other. Even worse, the conflicts started conversations that were convoluted and filled with gray morality, but the series opted to simply wave the problems away through the familiar power of friendship in a series famous for not using friendship as a core solution to its more complicated problems.<\/span><\/p>\n
