The Promised Neverland: Season 2

It's hard to discuss the ending of the series without spoilers for the manga. For example, Emma mentions that you can try to change the world by making a new promise with demons. At the same time, in the slideshow, she is shown together with a small demon with an unpronounceable name (in the manga it was indicated only by symbols) - presumably, a new promise was made with him, but what? Obviously not the same as in the manga, because in the manga, Emma, having concluded it, had to lose something herself, but there are no hints of this in the ending of the anime.

In general, the season turned out to be crumpled, several interesting characters and plot moves were cut out. You stop worrying about the characters, because every time they will be saved by a piano in the bushes (or a "demon from the car", sorry for the stupid pun). Yes, the plot of the manga sinned with this after the children escaped from the orphanage, but because of the sprawl of the plot, it did not feel so much.

Compared to the intense, creepy, extremely atmospheric first season, the sequel looks weak. It is especially sad that Ray has lost his character and personality. In the first season, he was a very interesting, tragic, ambiguous character, here he is singing along with Emma, whose idealism was sometimes annoying (as if she read the minds of the creators of the anime and knew in advance that everything would be fine with them!). Again, the manga had these flaws, but it's safe to say that the anime didn't fix them.

Of course, I'm glad for the children that they managed to escape into the human world, I just wish the path to this was more difficult and intriguing. It was very easy for them to escape from the demon world compared to escaping from the orphanage. The first season raised a very high bar, which the second, IMHO, did not reach.

This is not how I expected the ending to be. No details were shown, just a beautiful slideshow with music. And what is this post-ending scene?

It was only on stage after the credits that I realized that this was the last episode of the final season. So suddenly... I was expecting at least another third, where we would be interested to hear how three children were really able to turn around the centuries-old monarchical system. It was a touching ending, but it happened so unexpectedly that it was as if I hadn't had time to prepare for it properly.

I really liked the moment when Gilda read Emma and the other kids read Ray.

"just look away, and he's already trying to die", 11/10.

the episode turned out to be quite interesting, I was glad for them that everything worked out for them, and how the kids settled down, went to school, celebrate others, etc., in general, it turned out really good ahah
