The Promised Neverland Season 2 Number Of Episodes

Okay, let’s talk about The Promised Neverland Season 2. Specifically, its episode count.

It was... well, let's just say it was a choice. A choice someone definitely made.

Ten Episodes: Was it Really Enough?

Season 1? Golden. Twelve episodes, perfectly paced. We devoured it. We wanted more!

Then Season 2 showed up. Only ten measly episodes! It felt like showing up to a party where they ran out of cake after only three people got a slice.

I know, I know. This is probably an unpopular opinion. But hear me out.

The Manga's a Beast!

The manga is long. Like, "pack a lunch, you'll be here a while" long.

Trying to squeeze multiple arcs into ten episodes? It's like trying to fit a sumo wrestler into a kiddie pool. Someone's gonna be uncomfortable. Probably everyone.

Things got rushed. Plot points were skipped. Major character developments? Gone. Reduced to atoms, basically.

Could We Have Used More?

Absolutely! Imagine if we'd gotten, say, fifteen episodes? Or even a full twenty-four!

We could have explored the world more. Gotten to know the new characters better. Actually, you know, felt something about what happened in those rushed story arcs.

Imagine the emotional impact! The suspense! The glorious, glorious filler episodes where the kids just try to bake a cake in the demon world. (Okay, maybe not.)

Quality Over Quantity? Maybe.

Some people will argue "quality over quantity!" And that's a fair point. A valid point.

But I'd counter that sometimes, you need a certain quantity to even achieve quality. Especially when you're adapting a sprawling story like The Promised Neverland.

It’s like trying to paint the Mona Lisa on a postage stamp. It's still the Mona Lisa...sort of. But you’re missing a lot of the detail.

Let's Just Agree to Disagree (Probably)

Look, I get it. Animation is hard. Time is money. Budgets are a thing. I understand.

But as a fan? I can't help but feel like we got shortchanged. We deserved more time with Emma, Ray, and Norman. We deserved a less... truncated... ending.

Maybe this is just me yelling at a cloud. Maybe I’m just bitter. But honestly? I think ten episodes was a crime against anime. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. But I stand by it!

A Different Perspective: The Glass Half-Full?

On the bright side? At least we got some kind of ending, right?

And hey, at least it’s over, meaning no more waiting agonizingly for a new episode each week. Now we can all watch something else…maybe something with a slightly less controversial second season.

So, to recap, ten episodes? Not my favorite. But hey, art is subjective, right? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch Season 1 and pretend Season 2 never happened. Just kidding! (Mostly.)
