The Promised Neverland’s big finale drew some major hate from fans! The second season of the anime adaptation was one of the most anticipated debuts of the Winter 2021 schedule following its delay due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but a worrying pattern began to emerge with each new episode. Not only was the series skipping over fan favorite arcs with its original story, but the pace of the narrative seemed to speed up overall as major characters, world building, and more were just half-heartedly mentioned in between what seemed to be some whirlwind introductions.
This began to rub fans the wrong way, but there was still hope that the second season could make up ground by setting a stage for a third season. Well, that’s not exactly going to happen as the final episode of the second season indeed was the final one of the series overall as it adapted some major bits of Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu’s original manga finale with some new material for the ending.

The anime ended. Of course most of the story from the manga was skipped. 140+ chapters of content was wrapped up in about 6 episodes.
Hope no other franchise gets this treatment. pic.twitter.com/k6uecHbekG
So Many Questions!
**My general verdict for season 2**

“What an Utter Failure and Embarrassment”
Whoever was in charge of production and decided to adapt this series into 24 episodes needs to lose their job. What an utter failure and embarrassment. #PromisedNeverland
