| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- By now, if you haven't caught the message, Season 2 will be anime-original, so expect manga content to be heavily cut (with some sprinkles of the manga) tuned in with new content made with the original mangaka Kaiu Shirai's supervision. A recorded call from William Minerva (real name James Ratri), and upholding Norman's promise to live. Also, note that the date 22 Jan 2047, is a day later than what the manga had envisioned. just the Grace Field kids living in protection, learning more survival techniques and having more fun..but most importantly, keeping survelliance. The slimy catfish though... Some humans raiding the bunker shelter that the Grace Field children were housed in, another escape plan that almost went unscathed, if not for the CGI demon residing in the Promised Forest. The Demons are back, and the jailed nurturer is obviously No. 73584, Sister Isabella. The punishment of letting Emma, Ray and the rest escape, it's a grave sin. But a redemption on her part to re-capture all the escapee children in exchange for freedom, like that's gonna ever happen with h=just that. What a BIG change, and there's more than meets the eye for the remaining 2/3rds of the show. |

| Ah, Minerva wants to meet the kids after all. Makes sense since it's the person that has been mysteriously giving them clues, info, and other important tools to survive. Emma's desire to go to the human world again reinforces her personality of not giving up. Same with Norman and the other kids. When it comes to promises, I know Emma always wants to keep hers. It's also nice to see more of the kids' daily lifestyles in the wild. Quite interesting how much content the author poured into the world itself. |
 |
| So the last bit of hope anyone had of seeing in the anime is now gone. |
 |
| the promised neverland: brotherhood when? |
 |
| Neverland Root A has started. With that the hope for certain characters died. The episode was so random. Several arcs were simply skipped over. hahaha - not good |

| Super disappointing. Remove the best character in the show and the 2nd best arc in the show. Sad. |
| Yea, somehow they’ve managed to make shit even worse with these manga changes. This and Goldy pond were the best parts of the manga. There was no need to cut out Yuugo and change this arc. Now granted they could rearrange appearances and bring him in later, but.. I doubt it’ll pan out well. As someone who was constantly talking to people in the manga discussion threads week after week about how far the series fell, I was at least expecting season 2 to retain some of that original magic.. I’ll give them a chance, but it’s not looking likely. Shame. I’m pissed man. This used to be one of my fave series. |

| Idk how to feel... This feels so off coming from the manga storyline to this. So many important parts just got skipped. But if they will really made an anime original story, I hope it will be equal or even better than the manga story (which is very hard tbh since we should've got one of the best parts of the manga instead at this specific point..) |
 |
| I'm heavily disappointed right now since my favorite arc was cut out from the anime. I really wanted to see how they animate the fight between the kids and the poachers |

Funny how people complain about the manga then the anime does its own things people still be negative. Just wait and find out Did you even read the full comment or just selectively got upset? I literally said first paragraph that I doubt it’ll pan out well. That doesn’t mean it’ll 100 percent happen, but it’s doubtful TO ME. They’ve changed enough that it’s already worse off. If that’s an issue, mute me. |

| Just as everything was going well for the kids, they just had to be attacked. I wonder if those guys are affiliated with the farms and demons. Also, was that woman that was tasked to bring the kids Isabella? |
 |
| what. So the first half of the episode was like yay bunker and haha slimy fish Then boom. Isabella. cut back to bunker- Then boom. No more bunker?? The pacing in this episode felt really awkward. But cgi demon was funny haha |
| monkima ook ook. |
| Too quick to jump to conclusions. I believe he will show up, see in the OP? Emma wears the braid which she gains during the GP arc and if they actually cut him out, then the arc would become meaningless, right? |

Sonichhx said: this season is turning out very boring Hopefully things will pick up in later episodes??? With the re-introduction of Isabella things might get more interesting. |
| monkima ook ook. |
| Aaaah, why are people quick to jump to conclusions? D: Just because Mister didn't show up this episode, doesn't it mean they have cut him out completely. If they did decide it, then the Goldy Pond arc would become utterly meaningless. Emma wears the braid in the OP and it's confirmed by my friend (who read the manga) that Emma gains it during the GP arc, so there is small hope. Hold out for 7 more weeks before deciding this is Tokyo Ghoul Root A V.2. |

Af071006 said: And how did you come to that conclusion? Maybe the arc will be introduced differently and so will Mister and the others.I AM BEYOND FURIOUS RIGHT NOW. THEY CUT OUT THR ENTIRE GOLDY POND ARC FROM THE ANIME. THE GOLDY POND ARC WAS THE BEST AND MOST EMOTIONAL AND IT INTRODUCED MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS. CLOVERWORKS CUT YUUGO FROM THE MANGA AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ST THE END SINCE THEY WERENT ABLE TO MEET THR DEMONS AT GOLDY POND??? also besides the fact that they are COMPLETELY deviating from the manga, this series has felt so rushed so far but spends the majority of episodes focusing on trivial things. just read the manga everyone, it's so much better and more emotional. |

I'm pretty sure these changes were Kaiu Shirai's idea's, so don't blame cloverworks. Also we don't know if goldy pond isn't happening for sure yet. I agree, the original manga was really rushed, but I'm staying hopeful that the anime doesn't have those same issues. |
| monkima ook ook. |
| "How did you know that there were two entries?" "That's how shelters usually are" LMAO The dude probably whispered "We will release your kid as well" to Isabella. |
 |
| Seeing how everybody is disappointed in how the anime is straying away from the manga, should I give the manga a go? |

| Well you've had your time to rest but in a game of tag with high stakes, your never safe. Putting Isabella back into the picture, the game of tag has just become much more difficult to win. |

Hold out for 7 more weeks before deciding this is Tokyo Ghoul Root A V.2. It's already damaging to Yugo's character development, so even if he appears, he won't be nearly as good of a character as he was in the manga. |

| This is bizarre. I understand that the latter parts of the manga didn't have the best reception - I wasn't a huge fan of them either - but going anime original like this so early on confuses me. It seems like certain characters and even entire arcs are going to be skipped or, at the very least, heavily altered from their manga context, but I can't really see why. If not for the added 'slice of life' scenes this episode, I'd assume they were rushing to conclude the series this season by cutting whatever they could, but it seems there's some other reason. While this is a bit disappointing, I'll remain tentatively optimistic that they can still do something good with it, though. |
