We need more anime like this. This show is a dark, mysterious, psychological thriller without a single filler episode. Despite only possessing a sliver of a heart, there were times when I almost got emotional. This show won't make you laugh. It's not something casual to watch for a few minutes before flipping to something else. It's a show that hurts yet you want to watch as much as you can. It leaves you thinking after almost every episode. Looking forward to the second season so I can learn more about this world and see what the characters are able to accomplish... **Signed:** *SophieFilo16*

I really liked this first season, it reminds me a lot of Death Note with how it feels like a game with the stakes being lives. Each episode created new developments and by the end of the season I was breathless. The characters were likable enough that I genuinely cared about their safety, which is crucial for a show like this. My biggest complaint would be that not a whole lot goes on in terms of animation. Not saying the animation's bad, it's quite good, but as it's mostly dialogue based there's not much happening on screen. A must watch if you like big brain strategies or being way too stressed out over the outcome of a fictional scenario. EDIT: I stand by the fact that the first season is a masterpiece, but don't watch the second season. I have never seen a show be ruined so quickly firsthand, though I've heard legend of such things. Only watch season two to see how NOT to continue a show, and read the manga instead.

The Promised Neverland started great and compelling until Season 2 comes and pulls away from the source material, they had to skipped 140+ chapters just to end so abruptly awful.

This is my advice : just watch season 1 and stop. [spoiler]The rest of the manga and anime are going to suck real bad.[/spoiler]

The rating given is not to spread hate or anything overall the series is good which could have been great. Season 1- **9/10** Excellent series for a pilot season. One of the best series with great cliffhangers. Season 2- First till episode 8 it did go great and the last episode. I don't know why they did it!! that Lousy writing. **4/10** [spoiler]It felt like after creating the content for 10 episodes in the last episode they ran out of Budget. And of all to use a technologically advanced pen to open the secret door created 1000 yrs back??. Really wish they showcased the STAIRS in the manga instead of the door to have some dramatic effect. [/spoiler] Wish one day someone will remake it with the original manga content 🐹 God ..!!! the really stupid ending.. had great potential. Really disappointed Lost, Dexter, GOT, Soul Eater, and now 'The promised neverland' 😢
