It is immediately revealed in the next episode that the demons, who go by Sonju and Mujika, do not eat human meat for religious reasons. It's all a mess of unfinished plot lines and bad writing from here.

That concludes the first and most interesting episode of the season. Ray and Emma are reuinted inside a cavern, only to realise that their rescuers are both demons. In the distance, Emma and her group come across a hooded girl who points them towards safety. The monster is slain by three demons who immediately begin to persue Ray, but the boy is rescued by a hooded figure on horseback. (Their existence and purpose is never explained in the anime, so don't bother getting interested.) Ray makes himself bait, which is actually interesting to see, and leads the creature away while Emma guides the children towards the point on the map signifying Minerva's hideout. This pen would later go down as one of the most absurd instances of a plot device (literally!) ever employed in anime wherever a plot inconsistency would show up, this pen would simply scratch it off, almost like the writers expected it to work the same as when writing up a script.īack to the story the children are making their way with good pace when they are suddenly attacked by a giant demonic creature. Their team spirit remains unshaken and they are in good spirits as they use Minerva's pen to guide them through the unknown territory. The second season actually started off on a good note: it picked up not too long after the events of season one's finale, with the children of Grace Field making their way through the forest. As was the case with last week's article, a spoiler warning is in effect from this point. If you have watched the anime but haven't read the manga, we recommend that you do so. We shall persure this review purely from the perspective of the anime and pretend like the manga doesn't even exist we take this approach owing to the fact that the second season takes an independent narrative starting from episode 4- a decision which was met with resounding backlash from the TPN community and there have been numerous comparisons made between the two which undeniably pit the anime as a poor adaptation.

Unfortunately, there is little in the way of positivity in our review of its second season. Welcome to the second segment our review of The Promised Neverland! While we were rather blunt in expressing our utter disappointment at the direction (or lack thereof) which the show decided to persue in its second season, our review of the first season still painted the anime in good light, because it truly was a budding masterpiece.
