Well, on a positive note at least season 1 can be seen as a ending? kinda... *sigh*. But honestly, what the frick where they thinking and tried to do?. What was even the point of them doing what they did, i would've drop myself into cold water and died if somebody tried to ruin my story what way. I was such a huge fan of the anime and manga and when they did the bunker scene and when i saw Norman, i just wanted to claw my brains out. It makes me so sad, Yugo.. and all other characters... hunders of chapters forced into one season...

First few seconds i to the video- Battle shonen is probably the most apropproate term i think

i sometimes randomly remember that we will probably never get a faithful goldy pond animated adaptation and feel my heart break all over again 😭 i remember everyone was SO excited for s2 (even though i think there had been some leaks that had us dubious about it too) and then the collective confusion and upset/outrage was crazyyyyy. it could have been absolute peak, omg i’m upset all over again 💀

This is my favorite arc in the entire manga and i was pissed it didnt appear in the anime, I thought the anime might try to fix some of the mistakes the manga had but they just failed even harder

What are the "drastic measures?"

Heard they skipped Goldy Pond for season 2 and never watched it out of spite. The ending of the manga was definitely rushed and disappointing. Seemed like the author was over writing it, and just made it end as soon as possible. Sad

I waited 2 years for an adaptation of my fav arc in Promised Neverland! 2 years!!! And they totally skipped it …

I remember when I first watched season 1 of promised neverland, it made me so excited for the next season and I immediately ran to read the entire manga, and fell in love, waiting for season 2 to give my self more to enjoy. And the day the episode came where they got to the bunker everything was shattered I’ve never felt so disappointed from an adaptation before.

👍🏾

When you say shonen, your thinking of neketsu

Remember long time ago I saw a comment saying that they didn't decide to animate this arc cause they didn't want show kids using guns.

Peak arc fr fr

I CAN HEAR THE CINNABAR THEME IN THE BG YOU CANT FOOL ME!!!

honestly....? I thought this was gonna be like 15 minutes of whining about the anime adaptation , not a freaking dissertation of a genre with an immaculate pin-point structure.....so , I guess ...thanks

Wait but Okina is just the God of Disabilities so she isn’t disabled herself so Cirno is still stronger Wait but Okina is the God of Disabilities meaning she can control handicap spaces so she’s on a level far above our comprehension But wait (I could keep going)

0:43 wait where can I see?

Why is this video so well produced?

Wanted to get into The Promised Neverland but never did bc by the time i was going to, season 2 came out and it became obvious what peoples opinions of it were, and i hadnt really seen anyone make note of how the manga differs so never bothered. I will now read at LEAST up to goldy pond, even after watching this video, bc this second arc is everything i want when it comes to intelligent characters (especially when it comes to long and seemingly convoluted plans since this arc seems to understand how and why truly intelligent strategy works), inhuman antagonists and their complex goals, and that humanistic through line. the fact i never even heard a whisper about this despite it being the very next arc is insane and disappointing because wow that deserves better. even if the rest of the manga may not be to the first 2 arcs' level, I will definitely give the manga a proper try. amazing video, and really well structured and engaging too. God, I've literally been looking for something like this, tysm for making the perfect way to inform me of it!!

I'm surprised there was no mention of "Memories of Star", a 2007 50-minute anime by SOUND HOLIC as one of the earliest (and most people considered the first FULL fan anime) released about the Lunarians, before the lore about lunarians before the lore was expanded with Silent Sinner in Blue, so a lot of it is funny to see nowadays with their own interpretations and all. It also was very...flashy with colours and epilepsy that it was almost blinding, probably to cover a lot of the noticeably low-budget animation. It would've been interesting to see your thoughts about it as a funny starting point to these ideas.

I gooned to this 💖

this is extremely good quality? I don't think it's been long enough since promised neverland dropped for me to go so invested in a video essay of it, tf

When "tactical", "shonen" and "underrated" gets brought up and world trigger is not mentioned 😢

Season 2 of the promised Neverland fortunately doesn't exist and if it exist in any other way then "perfect" it would be a crime against humanity

فيديو حلو قلت الذي في خاطري بدون ما افكر فيه هههه

Finally a comically long video of someone who does understand the letdown that was thinking "oh, surely tpn its all going to be mind games" go ghen being sacked into a story of extremely hope and feast made out of the amazing human spirit, great video and fun narration i enjoyned my one hour dinner of around four pieces of bread with it, Leuvis and Yuugo my beloveds

I didn’t really like Goldy pond 🤷‍♂️ it felt like it came out of nowhere. While having good character moments, having Emma go solo with other orphans in an amusement park felt out of place. They could have just kept going with the Bunker storyline. The anime rushed it for sure, but honestly I wish that was the only storyline we were going with.

Hot take goldy pond was better than gracefield. I should finish the manga. I stopped right after goldy pond and forgot about it.

new viewer, good video. i agree with Leuvis being an optimistic villain, and i think optimistic villains can be some of the most intriguing and even most vile. i personally would argue Griffith also fits that "optimistic villain" bill - he was a big dreamer, highly idealistic, but so much so that he decided to achieve these dreams with any cruelty necessary. anyways good editing good video five stars 10/10

Shonen is a demographic it has never been a genre

There is no such thing as a Season 2

Peakdamari

1:01:44 i actually watched the movie adaptation! I remember liking the colours/lighting, but thats about it.

47:50 the hit 2020 game referenced

Right Goldy Pond was so good!!!!

My "theory" is that since editors wouldnt let Ray die in Gracefield, it thawed the the author's (I always forget who is what) plan, so we got something way less good that it could have been (but great nonetheless, I loved Goldy Pond) and in which Phil would have had a big role. And one of them was in the season 2 team, and same thing happened with the editorial line, so we got this mess out of spite. I know. Let me cope.

The initial suspense of the Manga and Goldy Pond are still my fav parts. It such good intrigue

You sang the wrong song man. I feel like you just gotta understand this is the internet and people who care about this aren’t going to just intuit that you “just had that song stuck in your head.” But of course they obviously should’ve known you were joking. I honestly cant tell if you’re a fan of touhou or not by watching this, you seem to come at it with some distance separation from the community and it’s a little condescending at times. I don’t mean to harp or spread negativity, and it’s totally fine to come at something as a casual enjoyer, I don’t want to gatekeep. All said, I enjoyed the information you compiled here, thank you for the video. To any who agree or disagree with this stance please comment, id love to hear other perspectives. I’m new to the touhou sphere and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time here. Thanks to all!

As someone who never finished the manga (didn't bother with S2 because I didn't like S1), so I can't make connections to much past Goldy Pond or speak of any significance Goldy Pond had on the rest of the story, I think Gracefield is a better arc despite Goldy Pond being my favourite arc. Gracefield manages to be more concise, suspenseful, well-written, and fleshed-out than Goldy Pond. It's pretty well self-contained, and although there are open-ended questions and unsolved mysteries, I feel like it could be intended to remain unanswered simply to get the audience thinking about the world, even if the story ends up answering them. All signs of great writing, which make for an overall enjoyable experience and why I consider it the best arc. Despite all that, I love how naturally Goldy Pond expands on the themes and world-building of Gracefield. They introduce so many interesting questions about the world that invest you into the mysteries unlike Gracefield. The action and payoff on display are built-up and worked towards throughout the arc which I feel leads to more impact on its delivery. The ending to Gracefield wraps itself up tightly and feels quite cathartic, whereas I feel Goldy Pond just has more punch. The stakes are obviously raised -- having to fight demons instead of Mother -- and yet it feels more like the characters are fighting for purpose and ideals instead of just trying to escape and be free. It makes so much sense that the world beyond the walls of Gracefield is just as messed up as the world within, and the characters need to confront the problems of society after fleeing from the problems at home. Goldy Pond hits so many good notes in that regard that despite having a less satisfying ending, Goldy Pond leaves a more lasting impression, which makes me like it more.

i adore the mangakas love for imperfect teeth

4:35 i audibly groaned, not from the content but from the pain you must have endured to arise to come to this conclusion. if the after timeskip part of the promised neverland (aka the final part) had been as well thought out, with battles decided in such a fascinating way, it could have been so beautiful of a story......

This shit is so good, I seriously hope you're getting monetized even despite being an anime channel, why does this have so little views? I remember seeing your Touhou video in my recommended videos but I only ever finished the first touhou game so I couldn't really watch it, this video is so goddamn good though, the editing is fire maybe a bit of improvement just please dont do the brainrot editing style also things are sometimes too fast like the article at the start, good luck def awaiting the next video

considering Goldy Pond is my favourite arc (with Grace Field as its obvious 2nd), I'm really glad you covered this! I think it was that consistent themeing that made me enjoy tpn, regardless of the wayward writing of the rest of the manga, and this analysis solidified that for me. bravo, sir!

43:20 this part sounds so much like Ceres Fauna is it her or am I crazy?

You are an excellent storyteller!

kagurabachi mention in waiting for weekly peak! but genuinely, thank you so much for this video! as a longtime reader of the manga, i completely repressed any reference to the second season. yet, seeing this video in my algorithm made me want to confront the series again. i’m being reminded of how much fun the goldy pond arc was to read, and i can’t help but want to reread it again because of this video!

Since this video is picking up steam I’ll just leave this pinned here to act as an author’s note and Q&A of sorts: First of all, THANK YOU! I genuinely thought this video was dead after the first two days, but the audience retention must have given a hint to the algorithm. To those of you that are new here, welcome! Check out some of my other videos if you feel as though you want to. Most of them are actually spoiler free, this one was a bit of an exception. Liking and sharing the link really does help as well so if you know anyone interested in The Promised Neverland feel free to pass the this video onto them. I will now do my best to answer questions you didn’t even know you wanted to ask: Q: What happened to the thumbnail? A: I actually made two thumbnails and tested each of them out with the algorithm. As of now they are both being passed around on the featured page at random, but eventually only one will be kept. I like them both but one will eventually get more clicks than the other. Q: I love your editing style! How did you do it? A: I use Premiere Pro. I like to believe I’m not very good at editing, but I take pride in my key framing. If you aren’t familiar with video editing, key frames are used to determine the movement of an object. I used a lot of simple movements with blur to create panel effects and constantly layered on different images to act as though you were flipping book pages. Drop shadows were used for black boarders, adjustment layers helped zoom into a new scene, and I also cut out many individual panels to use for movement. Easy editing, but time intensive when you spend most of it looking for a page, timing movement to vocal intonation, framing each element into the shot, or cutting out a single panel only to get 3 seconds of video done. However, I think my end goal with it was achieved. I wanted to make it feel as though you yourself are flipping through manga pages, almost as if a comic book was popping out at you. I’d like to think that at some point my editing got good enough to meet that goal. Q: I hate your editing style! Change x, y, & z!!! A: Wow thanks… not really a question but okay. Seriously though there are a good handful of valid criticisms you can throw at my editing, and I welcome all of them. It changed so much during production that at some point I’m sure I did something someone didn’t like. I, personally, feel as though I need to give more time for some pages or panels to breathe before tearing them away. That’s something I’d be happy to fix in the future, but let me know if you have any other thoughts about my editing. I’m open to criticism as long as it’s genuinely constructive. Q: I don’t like your opinion on Leuvis! Change it now! A: Oh well, you’re entitled to your own opinion. I just wanted to hijack an answer to clarify some stuff. I may have made it seem as though Leuvis was obsessed with Emma making her ideals a reality. It’s more so that he wants her to be driven by them so that he gets what he wants from her. For once he sees a human driven by passion rather than despair. He obsesses over Emma because of her tenacity not because he believes her ideals are right. I also think I made it pretty clear that I wasn’t comparing Leuvis to Toguro because of their personality. They both serve a similar purpose for main character growth and I just found that aspect fascinating. Q: It took a year to make?!?!?! A: Yes… it did. I had the idea to make a video about Goldy Pond back in 2021 when I bought a Jump subscription just to read it. Fell in love with the arc but didn’t feel I was skilled enough to talk about it yet. I wrote the script the weeks following my Touhou video release and recorded the audio in January of last year. It was supposed to be a smaller video but I couldn’t help myself. My last semester of college took precedence, then I went back to work, had to move, pretty much overworked myself, and eventually the video came to a grinding halt. There’s also this really cool thing that humans do called procrastination and I am one of those humans that does that really cool thing. It could have been done just as well in 3 months probably. Much of my current life influences my work though and many things in this video would be different without the length of production it had. Q: I love your music choice! Can you make a list of tracks you used? A: Yeah I probably will in the description at some point. Lots of Celeste, DKC and earthbound. Video game music works well for my content. Sometimes I match the editing to the song, sometimes I choose the song because I know what I want the tone to feel like, and other times I just slap one in there. The audio transitions are new and I loved the way they turned out. P.S. You will impress me if you can tell me what sound bite I used for the Go Beyond section transition. It’s extremely niche so good luck. Q: Where are the midroll ads? >:( A: Why are you angry about that? No one would ask this question lol. I got rid of midroll ads because they ruined every single transition I made. I also hate watching midroll ads and I know you do too. Q: Are you still reading Naruto? A: Nope, finished it over summer. Fantastic read and I am so glad I gave it a shot. Way nicer experience than the anime imo. I am now reading One Piece just a little past the time skip. That’s it! Feel free to ask more in the comments. I’ll add really important or frequently asked questions to this comment while I still have word space.

Good editing

never forgetting the grief and hurt i felt when i saw those moldy ass cookies bruh.

hey so you did a good thing and i love you for it an hour well spent
