I'm like, genuinely offended by the fact that we didn’t get timeskip Norman, and I mean the REAL timeskip Norman, in the anime. Everybody always says that he looks like, thirty in the manga, but honestly he looks more like early twenties to me. If we had gotten his glow-up in the anime I could've possibly *considered* forgiving them for the PowerPoint presentation. But no, instead we got...the “just hitting puberty” Norman in the anime instead of the “has suffered through puberty and is handsome now” Norman.
I know the manga seemed too fast paced towards the end, but Shounen Jump actually was the reason for that. Shirai (the author) stated that he would like to make side stories based on plots (like Ayshe and Norman) that weren’t able to be touched on enough.
Even if it was fast, i don't get why people think it was the worst ending, or one of the worst. If i was done well, perfect manga, but sadly it wasn't so it ends just as "good". Some people said it lack everything and... Bruh, no it doesn't, it lacks something, but not that exaggerated.
Tbh The manga was beautiful and amazing story It did make my heart break when she had to make that promise 😭 I also hated when Ray didn’t really get into frame and was technically a side Character 🥲
Yeah what they did to Ray was dirty. I also feel like that promise Emma made was also kinda pointless too but oh well. I still enjoyed this experience of a manga!
Moments that stood out to me? Weirdly enough that one scene in GF return where the kids were in that room being prepared to get gupna-ed, and Isabella like resets an finger or wrist, and they think she’s helping only to have the “making my merchandise pristine” line thrown out there. Gave me chills, and seriously caused me to question if she wasn’t actually acting...
Long Comment incoming whoops. I think a mixture of not having the story fully developed after the 1st arc (which had 3 months of planning), having to weekly put out chapters and some advice from the editor probably contribute to ending bits TPN being not as developed. From interviews and the TPN fanbook explaining some behind-the-scenes stuff, its clear Shirai wanted to explored more stuff such as Lamada, Asyhe and the other kids but was adviced to mostly focus on the main story. Few tidbits of how I feel about moments: - I think it was suppose to be limpied that Emma was roaming around demons during her seven wall search but of course due to the timeskip it wasn't really as explored aside from a few panels. (wow s2 actually address something better thats rare) I feel they really should have explore more of what happened during the timeskip. In that sense I argue the Emma's arguement is stronger in the manga since due to Goldy Pond she is aware demons can be both monsters and innocent people and is not just being native. - Emma's speech to Norman I think is suppose to be more stopping him from forcing a disguise as it was clear he wasn't fully on board with at the very least killed all demons (the rich can die tho lol) I wished the story explored more of how Norman ended up building up that barrier. (I agree with the Lamaba kids turning over way too easyily tho) - Being a Ray fan is suffering. Kind of shame really because I do appreciate the subtle grown in his character of being more open and trusting with the kids and Emma in later arcs. It draws a really cool parallel of Norman and Rat switching roles, with Norman now being the more anatognistic role since he loses the moral compass that was Emma. I also like the Emma and Ray dynamic more since Ray doesn't supercoat things and is honest to Emma about things like why norman and co would wanna kill demons. Due to that I feel he shouldn't have died as he was intended (which also rob Emma a really clever moment) and I wished the author was able to give Ray something interesting after. Also during Emma's talk no jutsu with Norman, Ray really did have nothing to say to the best friend that was able to the exact same thing he stopped him from doing in this first arc? - Okay to better explain The Promise signifience since the manga kinda gloss over it, Peter and his Uncle mention something called Code Soild. When Emma implemented the Promise, code soild was an alert thatessentially told them that the promise was override and basicially told them "hey the children that's crossing over right now, don't kill them". Basicially if Emma didn't do the promise then the dangers of crossing over only to get caught by the Raitri clan there would have been present. As for scenrio A I think the intend was that while Demons don't need humans to survive anymore, some would still want to eat them for their flavor (aka the demon that killed Isabella) Again probably not best explained due to the manga glossing over it. - Regardless of how ya feel about the Seven Walls that setting would have been really cool to see animated. The setup to breaking back into Grace field was cool but I certainly wish their were more obstacles for the kids to overcome. Also we were robbed of Emma and Co vs the Queen so badly. - I know the ending is subjective, All I'll say it mostly due to Shirai not wanting to end the manga on a depressing note and feeling that the mermory loss and the 2 year search for Emma would been euongh bittersweet. (apparently one of the early ideas was to outright kill Emma) Even with its flaws I still enjoy The Promised Neverland alot and I think people can find some enjoyment reading it despite some issues at the end. Maybe one day we'll get that Brotherhood and will address some issues but that feels like a pipe dream. Eitherway your video was enjoying to watch, it was fun to see how someone who watch s2 first thought about the manga.
Don't apologize for your opinions and long comment. Thank you for showing the video some love and support. They really did do Ray dirty, and I'm shocked to hear you and a few others mention the Shirai comment and how SJ did him dirty. Overall though much like yourself I still enjoyed TPN too.
Can you link these interviews? Cause it happens too much that people just make interviews about the author in order to defend him/her against criticism of their work cause of bad editors at jump. Like people say Togashi wanted to make kurapika a girl but jump editors would let him.
Tpn is the only manga I ever finished reading because it's very straining for my eyes but tpn just had my heart from the get go. It took me 3 weeks but I read all of it.
@@lampad4549 that's your opinion. The 1st few arcs besides the 1st arc are actually underrated. Of course this is my opinion. Your allowed to have your own but that's it, it's just your opinion.
Back when I was reviewing the season 2 anime, I lost a wager to review the entire manga series for The Promised Neverland so here it is. Obviously this is MY opinion so if you loved The Promised Neverland Manga more than I do, great and if you hate it, thats cool too. PS- I worked so damn hard on this video, so hitting that like button, commenting, and sharing this video would help a small content creator like myself get more exposure to the masses. Love you guys, thank you for joining me on this journey! What manga series would you like me to discuss next and how do you feel about The Promised Neverland manga? Let's discuss...
I feel like the reason that everything in the manga sort of "bent" to Emmas will was to support the theme of "changing fate". I love how TPN focused on that theme and really made it stand out however I agree that sometimes that aspect was taken too far with Emmas easily converted reality. All In all I really do love the manga even with its weak points because although some aspects just didn't make sense, or when things felt very rushed, it got the message across. That if you are determined and don't give up you can alter fate and reality, changing the world.
Yeah but they really hammer down that message to the highest degree with no consequences that it really makes the overall story feel cheap and not earned. Just my two cents if you enjoyed it more power to ya, wish they could have been clever with their material like they were with the Jailbreak and Goldy Pond arcs.
*long paragraph coming through-* The ending wasn’t perfect as mentioned, but it was definitely better than the anime’s. Especially the goldy pond arc and the jailbreak arc. I personally didnt like how easy it was in the anime to convince Norman, not really too much bothered by the ending but I personally love how they did Isabella. Her character was truly amazing. But ray’s character development just went poof after the jailbreak arc. But it’s also understandable as it was mentioned by the author/ creator that ray was originally gonna die (by setting himself on fire) and Emma wouldn’t be able to save him. It was a sudden change in the storyline so it was hard for them to make sudden changes to ray’s character, but I’m glad that they didn’t remove ray since he definitely had some parts where he was really needed. Norman’s return was quite expected (for me) because his death itself seemed quite unrealistic. Emma ray and Norman’s reunion seemed better than their reunion in the anime. In the anime it was just like Norman was passing by and stumbled across Emma and ray- i couldn’t picture it as a coincidence but yeah, I think u get it, I really didn’t feel that the reunion in the anime was better than in the manga. Some changes were made due to shounen jump too. Emma sometimes was making no sense and everyone was like “yeah sure.” she legit changed their decision in one chapter or page. They be like “Yeah we gonna kill the demons” Emma : “no Their gonna live.” And they just agreed like- uhm I think you get the idea. Isabella’s death was personally the most darkest for me in the manga. I didn’t really like she just talked to Emma and legit forgot she has ray too. Well forget that. Musica sharing her blood was quite reasonable since the demon’d degenerate if they didn’t eat human flesh for sometime. My conclusion is that the manga was idealistic at times, but was WAY better than the anime. I personally loved the gore in some arcs/ parts. The ending was bittersweet, no, the manga itself was bittersweet. It has its own flaws and it’s own good stuff. But it’s still one of my favourite mangas. anyway it’s my opinion for the manga, feel free to agree or disagree.
Its all subjective but looks like we came across the same conclusion that while flawed, the manga is the way to go with The Promised Neverland vs the anime.
Okay maybe I won't write that long comment as I expected to, but still - personally tpn is and will be my favorite manga for a loooong time, but even if I'm obssesed I still can see most of the flaws you said (expect Isabella's death - I cried for 20 minutes with my friend). But! I never actually wonder that much why Andrew survived - looking back it really don't make sense. Also the thing with Ray being "invisible" as someone on the chat said: yes. Originally Ray was supposed to literally put himself on fire back in Grace Field. And now I guess that Kaiu Shirai had a problem with fitting him into the story when they make him to keep Ray alive. The thing that piss me off the most is Ayshe - what did Norman tell to her in 18 volume, ha? WHY IT WASN'T EXPLAINED?! I'M STILL COURIOUS COME ON! The fact that I predicted Levis return, because I was suspicious from the straight beging about this one frame in 11 volume, but I didn't expected to be right XD But I think I can get your video to my tpn alternative universe and fix some flaws (I probably won't all but still it's something). After this video I'm definitely putting my hands on battle with the Queen Legravalima. Since in my au there's a half-fictional character that's gonna fight with the queen, so I think I can pull out some good plot twist. But for now the only think I have is the sentence "You want to eat me? Ha! Queen... I'm already dead!". Anyway great video I had fun on premiere!
Super long comment lol. 1. Andrew stuff was silly to me 2. Ayash gets no love with her arc 3. Leuvis should have came earlier to fight his sister or do something else that didnt tie up loose ends so conveniently 4. That would be cool if we did get an TPN alternate universe
I did the same thing as you, starting as an anime-only and finished both seasons before even starting on the manga. It was probably because TPN was the first anime AND manga for me to actually finish, but I'm glad I went with the order I did and enjoyed how much better the manga overall was. Other than this, I don't really read manga, but even though it was rushed with the last few chapters and didn't touch on Ray's general personality as much as in the jailbreak arc, I still find it a hundred times better than the second season. I don't know if you've read the side stories or novels of this fandom, but you definitely should. It's made me respect Ray even more, and even touches on Krone being trained to become a mom. A TPN novel that's definitely worth checking out, is one called "Norman's Letter", it circles around when he writes the substitute plan for the actual escape of Grace Field, mainly taking us back to when they were all younger and dealt with suspecting the orphanage for being haunted by ghosts. Other side stories include 3 different perspectives of Emma, Norman and Ray going up on the roof of their orphanage (again, being younger) to stargaze in secret. All around, I think I've read just about everything about this fandom, and it really is worth it. Both related to character depth and world building👍
Yeah I've read all of the side stories. Glad I experienced it the way I did too so enjoy the manga all the more despite its problems. Its not perfect and it did falter towards the end but man was it much more enjoyable especially reading Goldy Pond versus that anime adaptation for season 2.
Loved all the references you made this was a great video review and Yup the manga had some great moments way better than the anime...thx for keeping it real💪🏾💪🏾
*---This comment is pretty long and is just me rambling. Obviously it also contains heavy Manga Spoilers---* I finished binge-watching S1 (and 2) of the Anime, and I also finished re-reading the Manga (I wonder how the Live Action Movie is like???)... This video perfectly captures my feelings about Yakusoku No Neverland // The Promised Neverland Manga. Obviously, there's that gr8 side story -- A Mother's Determination -- which explains how Grandma Isabella was able to get an army of Mamas and Sisters on her side against Peter Ratri and the Farm system. Oh and it's revealed in the Manga that The One says that Emma's "1,000 years of suffering," along with memories of her family were enough to fulfil His side of the new Promise (unless that was some kind of translation error, maybe that confirms that guy that was Emma's Ancestor was also her in her past life. The same thing can go for Ray, Norman, the other GF kids and, of course, Peter Ratri. This idea can also be supported by The One saying "It's been a good 1,000 years" to Peter Ratri after he kills himself... Idk I thought I'd mention that bc I thought it was interesting). Maybe those "1,000 years of suffering" was also the "price" Emma had to "pay" to forge the new Promise w/ Him in S2 as well? Idk. _Sigh_ I really loved how we got to see the story behind the first (two) Promise(s) with Julius Ratri and The One. Seeing how Humanity and Demonkind were constantly at war with each-other, and that there were Humans who worshipped Demons, and how this world was so bizzare and different 1k years b4 everything started was very interesting, I think. I found myself wishing that it was explored more (along w/ many other things in this Manga, such as...), like the dilemma Julius faced of either sacrificing his comrades to save Humanity or keep attaining loss after loss after bloody loss. Or the sheer horror that his comrades all experienced when they all realized they were completely screwed over, and that they were going to be eaten by the Demons -- like many of their descendants. (Or how the first Farms came to be.) It was still good to get a glimpse of though. What's more interesting, I think, is what could've happened if our boi Leuvis just right up devoured Julius immediately. Then, most likely, a "Promise" with Humans and Demons (and Him) would never be forged. How would the world turn out??? I hope there's AU Fanfics of that. If there isn't ( _cries_ ) then maybe I'll write one myself. And since you actually read this far: *(Shoutout to AaronAmerican518 for proposing this idea! Check out his TPN Demon World Ending videos, imho they're neat. You might like them, idk I hope you do!!)* I think too much about this lol There were some unanswered questions I had throughout the Manga though. I know these are all pretty much pointless questions but I'm still curious. Like, how did the Demons and Humans create the first Farms? Who were those ancestors of our main cast? Who were the supporters of "William Minerva„? Who was that "windmill girl" that saved Lucas' life? How do the Demons reproduce? Where exactly is the Demon World located? _What are the Demons even called, in their own terms and language?!_ If TPN had been a Monthly Manga instead of a Weekly, then perhaps it would've turned out better. The waiting would've been pure pain but maybe. Maybe it would've payed off (still though. Demizu is amazing for drawing so much in so little time. Imho). All in all, Demizu's beautiful art combined with Shirai's amazing (albeit sadly compact) story was a gr8 read, and I know I'll probably re-read it again someday. The Anime was gr8 too. And you know what? I liked S2. Despite it barely adapting the Manga and Mister not being there (etc., etc., R.I.P.) I still enjoyed watching it. I'm still hoping for a Manga OG storyline in a FMA Brotherhood-esque reboot though, and I'll never stop hoping. This possible Anime Adaptation could also fix all the problems that the OG Manga had (and, unfortunately, didn't have to have). Maybe. Echoing what I said earlier, I wonder what the Live Action Movie will be like? Same with the Light Novel(s). (And if you're reading this in the future--cheers!! 🥂) *---Thanks a lot for reading all of this! I hope my tangents made sense, too!! Stay safe out there.---* 🌹
Arguably the longest comment I’ve ever had on my channel so thank you? Lol jokes aside appreciate you pouring your passion in expressing how much you care for the series despite the flaws it has. It really is great and has some of the best moments I’ve read in shonen
I didn't notice the rush at the end at all except when Leuvis came out of nowhere. I'm still confused why he turned to help human after hundreds of year he loved to hunt. Yeah, this part is the only that didn't make sense. For Norman, I think he didn't truly want to kill many many of demons, but it was the only way he thought that can ensure his family survival.
Kinda wish that Leuvis bit was taken out but whatever. His random change of heart due to his one time battle with Emma is a bit silly. Your thoughts on Norman is spot on with mine opinion 💪
The scene where Emma was in a demon town and she was walking around and saw "meat" hanging will never leave my mind i am forever traumatized by this lovely manga
I have an alternate ending in my mind..hear me out..what if Emma actually travel to the human world, but travel 20 years way back in time during the warzone. She didn't lose her memory, however, she had to somehow make huge changes to the world by making the human world a peaceful place to live in for norman and the others to live in (at the cost of 20 years of her life before the actual date norman travel to the human world), which the demi-god demon find it more interesting. After solving the world crisis, she somehow manages to prepare and instructed her servant to standby at the beach when norman and the others arrive at the human world..that could explain how they know exactly when/where norman and the other kids coming, and how the world suddenly live in the peaceful day. Emma at that time probably already dead because of the war and her name was remembered as the saviour of the world. Before she passed away, she left some letter(message) for norman and the others about how she missed them, how she really want to live together with the other kids peacefully. The manga ends where norman, ray and the other kids visiting Emma's grave and showing how the others moving on with their life
I still can't get over it, like, Emma! Did you just left that old man? Without saying anything, just because you feel like you should live with them? Even though that old man has saved you and lived with you for months, dude, at least say goodbye, but I guess it's useless too, I mean how could you say to that old man "Hey, thank you for saving me when I was supposed to die, oh yeah, I want to live with them oh, no, not because I remembered them or something, I just felt that I SHOULD remember them, hehe"
Yay, the long awaited manga review is here! And for the most part I agree with your position on its highlights and flaws. But in terms of what happened after the imperial battle arc (the pace and conviences), I think its pretty obvious, especially since the same thing occurred but occurred more drastically in the s2 anime. Was it Kaiu burning out? Highly unlikely considering he keeps dropping more backstory content that was missed and how he's expressed that he plans to release what happened to various characters with back stories in more detail that was skipped over in the manga. The fact that Shueisha executives were in The Promised Neverland Committee (TPN committee is made up of the producers who had full control over the script and decisions for the anime series) and Shueisha happens to be the publishing house of Shonen Jump, not to mention SJ have long been accused of censorship of content and axing series without much warning given to authors of its serialization or sometimes demanding a story to go beyond that which it was originally intended in the past... I think one would have to be experiencing Emma's exaggerated blind optimism she has towards the end, to not pick up on the clues of corporate involvement effecting the outcome of quality in the story dipping in the end. Too many coincidences for me to believe that its the fault of anyone or anything else other than Shueisha's expressed desire for profits over storytelling and creative freedom to let the story just be, until Kaui had wrapped it up to his liking.
Well that context you informed me that certainly makes sense now. I mean we dont know but whenever you have the higher ups making the final decisions instead of the actual mangaka, it wont be good or even worse, very "disney-esque"
Here's how I'd have changed the ending, Emma would have still had her memory wiped however, she would also be able to not see or hear them so when they do find her in the final chapter from her persepctive she is not feeling anything, not seeing anything or hearing anything then they guy who found Emma said what her new name is and she goes off with him and Norman and Ray conclude that the Emma they know is dead but the person that has replaced her is happy and that's all that matters.
Honestly I think what Julius did was wrong but makes sense. It’s for the overall good and given what Julius has been through it seemed like he was just done, tired of fight and didn’t care if his comrades were going to be the first sacrifices, he just wanted his hell to end
Yeah it’s a hard choice to make. It was either that or the entire human race would have been wiped out so maybe what he did was the smartest thing for all of humanity (as messed up as it sounds).
@@Metal_Dragon_ just to be clear lol. The video is going to be amazing and when I said definitely flawed I meant the promised neverland is definitely flawed and that's my opinion, some say it's perfect.

Emma ray and Norman’s reunion seemed better than their reunion in the anime. In the anime it was just like Norman was passing by and stumbled across Emma and ray- i couldn’t picture it as a coincidence but yeah, I think u get it, I really didn’t feel that the reunion in the anime was better than in the manga. Some changes were made due to shounen jump too. Emma sometimes was making no sense and everyone was like “yeah sure.” she legit changed their decision in one chapter or page. They be like “Yeah we gonna kill the demons” Emma : “no Their gonna live.” And they just agreed like- uhm I think you get the idea.
Isabella’s death was personally the most darkest for me in the manga. I didn’t really like she just talked to Emma and legit forgot she has ray too. Well forget that.
Musica sharing her blood was quite reasonable since the demon’d degenerate if they didn’t eat human flesh for sometime.
My conclusion is that the manga was idealistic at times, but was WAY better than the anime. I personally loved the gore in some arcs/ parts. The ending was bittersweet, no, the manga itself was bittersweet. It has its own flaws and it’s own good stuff. But it’s still one of my favourite mangas. anyway it’s my opinion for the manga, feel free to agree or disagree.
Its all subjective but looks like we came across the same conclusion that while flawed, the manga is the way to go with The Promised Neverland vs the anime.
@@DJMilez 👍
Okay maybe I won't write that long comment as I expected to, but still - personally tpn is and will be my favorite manga for a loooong time, but even if I'm obssesed I still can see most of the flaws you said (expect Isabella's death - I cried for 20 minutes with my friend).
But! I never actually wonder that much why Andrew survived - looking back it really don't make sense. Also the thing with Ray being "invisible" as someone on the chat said: yes. Originally Ray was supposed to literally put himself on fire back in Grace Field. And now I guess that Kaiu Shirai had a problem with fitting him into the story when they make him to keep Ray alive.
The thing that piss me off the most is Ayshe - what did Norman tell to her in 18 volume, ha? WHY IT WASN'T EXPLAINED?! I'M STILL COURIOUS COME ON!
The fact that I predicted Levis return, because I was suspicious from the straight beging about this one frame in 11 volume, but I didn't expected to be right XD
But I think I can get your video to my tpn alternative universe and fix some flaws (I probably won't all but still it's something). After this video I'm definitely putting my hands on battle with the Queen Legravalima. Since in my au there's a half-fictional character that's gonna fight with the queen, so I think I can pull out some good plot twist. But for now the only think I have is the sentence "You want to eat me? Ha! Queen... I'm already dead!".
Anyway great video I had fun on premiere!
Super long comment lol.
1. Andrew stuff was silly to me
2. Ayash gets no love with her arc
3. Leuvis should have came earlier to fight his sister or do something else that didnt tie up loose ends so conveniently
4. That would be cool if we did get an TPN alternate universe
S2 EP 8 IS WHAT THE ENTIRE SEASON 2 WOULD HAVE BEEN IF GOLDY POND WAS ADAPTED
Yup it should have been!
I did the same thing as you, starting as an anime-only and finished both seasons before even starting on the manga. It was probably because TPN was the first anime AND manga for me to actually finish, but I'm glad I went with the order I did and enjoyed how much better the manga overall was. Other than this, I don't really read manga, but even though it was rushed with the last few chapters and didn't touch on Ray's general personality as much as in the jailbreak arc, I still find it a hundred times better than the second season. I don't know if you've read the side stories or novels of this fandom, but you definitely should. It's made me respect Ray even more, and even touches on Krone being trained to become a mom. A TPN novel that's definitely worth checking out, is one called "Norman's Letter", it circles around when he writes the substitute plan for the actual escape of Grace Field, mainly taking us back to when they were all younger and dealt with suspecting the orphanage for being haunted by ghosts. Other side stories include 3 different perspectives of Emma, Norman and Ray going up on the roof of their orphanage (again, being younger) to stargaze in secret.
All around, I think I've read just about everything about this fandom, and it really is worth it. Both related to character depth and world building👍
Yeah I've read all of the side stories. Glad I experienced it the way I did too so enjoy the manga all the more despite its problems. Its not perfect and it did falter towards the end but man was it much more enjoyable especially reading Goldy Pond versus that anime adaptation for season 2.
I just came back to rewatch this video for the second time and honestly it deserves more views. Also why did you change the title?
Thanks man, I changed it to the most basic thing its called to see if that would help but it really hasn't soooo, went back to the original titling.
Loved all the references you made this was a great video review and Yup the manga had some great moments way better than the anime...thx for keeping it real💪🏾💪🏾
Glad you enjoyed it and you know I always gotta keep it real here on this channel!
*---This comment is pretty long and is just me rambling. Obviously it also contains heavy Manga Spoilers---*
I finished binge-watching S1 (and 2) of the Anime, and I also finished re-reading the Manga (I wonder how the Live Action Movie is like???)...
This video perfectly captures my feelings about Yakusoku No Neverland // The Promised Neverland Manga.
Obviously, there's that gr8 side story -- A Mother's Determination -- which explains how Grandma Isabella was able to get an army of Mamas and Sisters on her side against Peter Ratri and the Farm system. Oh and it's revealed in the Manga that The One says that Emma's "1,000 years of suffering," along with memories of her family were enough to fulfil His side of the new Promise (unless that was some kind of translation error, maybe that confirms that guy that was Emma's Ancestor was also her in her past life. The same thing can go for Ray, Norman, the other GF kids and, of course, Peter Ratri. This idea can also be supported by The One saying "It's been a good 1,000 years" to Peter Ratri after he kills himself... Idk I thought I'd mention that bc I thought it was interesting). Maybe those "1,000 years of suffering" was also the "price" Emma had to "pay" to forge the new Promise w/ Him in S2 as well? Idk. _Sigh_
I really loved how we got to see the story behind the first (two) Promise(s) with Julius Ratri and The One. Seeing how Humanity and Demonkind were constantly at war with each-other, and that there were Humans who worshipped Demons, and how this world was so bizzare and different 1k years b4 everything started was very interesting, I think. I found myself wishing that it was explored more (along w/ many other things in this Manga, such as...), like the dilemma Julius faced of either sacrificing his comrades to save Humanity or keep attaining loss after loss after bloody loss. Or the sheer horror that his comrades all experienced when they all realized they were completely screwed over, and that they were going to be eaten by the Demons -- like many of their descendants. (Or how the first Farms came to be.) It was still good to get a glimpse of though.
What's more interesting, I think, is what could've happened if our boi Leuvis just right up devoured Julius immediately. Then, most likely, a "Promise" with Humans and Demons (and Him) would never be forged. How would the world turn out???
I hope there's AU Fanfics of that. If there isn't ( _cries_ ) then maybe I'll write one myself. And since you actually read this far:
*(Shoutout to AaronAmerican518 for proposing this idea! Check out his TPN Demon World Ending videos, imho they're neat. You might like them, idk I hope you do!!)*
I think too much about this lol
There were some unanswered questions I had throughout the Manga though. I know these are all pretty much pointless questions but I'm still curious. Like, how did the Demons and Humans create the first Farms? Who were those ancestors of our main cast? Who were the supporters of "William Minerva„? Who was that "windmill girl" that saved Lucas' life? How do the Demons reproduce? Where exactly is the Demon World located? _What are the Demons even called, in their own terms and language?!_
If TPN had been a Monthly Manga instead of a Weekly, then perhaps it would've turned out better. The waiting would've been pure pain but maybe. Maybe it would've payed off (still though. Demizu is amazing for drawing so much in so little time. Imho).
All in all, Demizu's beautiful art combined with Shirai's amazing (albeit sadly compact) story was a gr8 read, and I know I'll probably re-read it again someday. The Anime was gr8 too. And you know what? I liked S2. Despite it barely adapting the Manga and Mister not being there (etc., etc., R.I.P.) I still enjoyed watching it.
I'm still hoping for a Manga OG storyline in a FMA Brotherhood-esque reboot though, and I'll never stop hoping. This possible Anime Adaptation could also fix all the problems that the OG Manga had (and, unfortunately, didn't have to have). Maybe.
Echoing what I said earlier, I wonder what the Live Action Movie will be like? Same with the Light Novel(s). (And if you're reading this in the future--cheers!! 🥂)
*---Thanks a lot for reading all of this! I hope my tangents made sense, too!! Stay safe out there.---*
🌹
Arguably the longest comment I’ve ever had on my channel so thank you? Lol jokes aside appreciate you pouring your passion in expressing how much you care for the series despite the flaws it has. It really is great and has some of the best moments I’ve read in shonen
@@DJMilez Definitely. I think so too.
I'm sorry for the massive text wall I don't know any other way.
Also thank you for the
I subbed soley for this.
Haha thank you 🙏
I didn't notice the rush at the end at all except when Leuvis came out of nowhere. I'm still confused why he turned to help human after hundreds of year he loved to hunt. Yeah, this part is the only that didn't make sense. For Norman, I think he didn't truly want to kill many many of demons, but it was the only way he thought that can ensure his family survival.
Kinda wish that Leuvis bit was taken out but whatever. His random change of heart due to his one time battle with Emma is a bit silly. Your thoughts on Norman is spot on with mine opinion 💪
The scene where Emma was in a demon town and she was walking around and saw "meat" hanging will never leave my mind i am forever traumatized by this lovely manga
I have an alternate ending in my mind..hear me out..what if Emma actually travel to the human world, but travel 20 years way back in time during the warzone. She didn't lose her memory, however, she had to somehow make huge changes to the world by making the human world a peaceful place to live in for norman and the others to live in (at the cost of 20 years of her life before the actual date norman travel to the human world), which the demi-god demon find it more interesting. After solving the world crisis, she somehow manages to prepare and instructed her servant to standby at the beach when norman and the others arrive at the human world..that could explain how they know exactly when/where norman and the other kids coming, and how the world suddenly live in the peaceful day. Emma at that time probably already dead because of the war and her name was remembered as the saviour of the world. Before she passed away, she left some letter(message) for norman and the others about how she missed them, how she really want to live together with the other kids peacefully. The manga ends where norman, ray and the other kids visiting Emma's grave and showing how the others moving on with their life
Lol interesting but where they went with this narrative, Emma just needs a nerf.
@@DJMilez perhaps you can discuss or make a video about alternate endings of TPN from fan, that would be cool :)
Loved the video! But omg, I can't be the only one who started quoting Team Rocket. 😂
Lol I knew someone would!
I still can't get over it, like, Emma! Did you just left that old man? Without saying anything, just because you feel like you should live with them? Even though that old man has saved you and lived with you for months, dude, at least say goodbye, but I guess it's useless too, I mean how could you say to that old man "Hey, thank you for saving me when I was supposed to die, oh yeah, I want to live with them oh, no, not because I remembered them or something, I just felt that I SHOULD remember them, hehe"
Lol for real but come on you know Emma is selfish so she does what she wants. Poor old man.
I don't think that's what happened cause the last few panels showed Emma going to her family and in the crowd was the old man
Yay, the long awaited manga review is here! And for the most part I agree with your position on its highlights and flaws. But in terms of what happened after the imperial battle arc (the pace and conviences), I think its pretty obvious, especially since the same thing occurred but occurred more drastically in the s2 anime. Was it Kaiu burning out? Highly unlikely considering he keeps dropping more backstory content that was missed and how he's expressed that he plans to release what happened to various characters with back stories in more detail that was skipped over in the manga. The fact that Shueisha executives were in The Promised Neverland Committee (TPN committee is made up of the producers who had full control over the script and decisions for the anime series) and Shueisha happens to be the publishing house of Shonen Jump, not to mention SJ have long been accused of censorship of content and axing series without much warning given to authors of its serialization or sometimes demanding a story to go beyond that which it was originally intended in the past... I think one would have to be experiencing Emma's exaggerated blind optimism she has towards the end, to not pick up on the clues of corporate involvement effecting the outcome of quality in the story dipping in the end. Too many coincidences for me to believe that its the fault of anyone or anything else other than Shueisha's expressed desire for profits over storytelling and creative freedom to let the story just be, until Kaui had wrapped it up to his liking.
Well that context you informed me that certainly makes sense now. I mean we dont know but whenever you have the higher ups making the final decisions instead of the actual mangaka, it wont be good or even worse, very "disney-esque"
Exactly
Did you read the bonus chapters? There’s one about Isabella recruiting the other moms and sisters to turn against Peter.
Yeah I read it, still just felt like a quick turn around for me.
I only just finished the anime, and I was curious if there was any more to it so I searched google an learned that it cut 4 ARCS.
Here's how I'd have changed the ending, Emma would have still had her memory wiped however, she would also be able to not see or hear them so when they do find her in the final chapter from her persepctive she is not feeling anything, not seeing anything or hearing anything then they guy who found Emma said what her new name is and she goes off with him and Norman and Ray conclude that the Emma they know is dead but the person that has replaced her is happy and that's all that matters.
Interesting ending, better than what we got lol
Fantastic editing ;)
Glad you think so!
Honestly I think what Julius did was wrong but makes sense. It’s for the overall good and given what Julius has been through it seemed like he was just done, tired of fight and didn’t care if his comrades were going to be the first sacrifices, he just wanted his hell to end
Yeah it’s a hard choice to make. It was either that or the entire human race would have been wiped out so maybe what he did was the smartest thing for all of humanity (as messed up as it sounds).
Stellar editing 👌🤣🤣
Haha thanks my man!
RIP the anime 😢
Poor anime indeed!
I hope that with time, the author can go back and change/add somethings.
We'll see but I dont think that will be for awhile
I feel like I'm gonna write a looooooooooooong comment after this video :)
I think MANY people will!
Twas definitely a flawed. Haha
But also highly recommend. Lol
Yeah the second half of this video will either make people laugh or I'll be picked apart for it lol
@@DJMilez yeah it happens haha but I love hearing your opinions on TPN. Wholesome and honest.
@@Metal_Dragon_ just to be clear lol. The video is going to be amazing and when I said definitely flawed I meant the promised neverland is definitely flawed and that's my opinion, some say it's perfect.
