Jesus Christ … #PromisedNeverland had an amazing season 1 and premise, and season 2 started off strong, but dear god what the hell happened ?! What the heck was the end ?! What the hell?!

I’ve seen some bad anime adaptations. I’ve seen bad animation. I’ve seen bad dubs and bad directing decisions. But I’ve never been as disrespectful as I was in the second season of #PromisedNeverland

The authors should never be responsible for anything again! They ruined the promised no man’s land, one of the most unique, healthiest, bravest and most brilliant manga. What a travesty for the fans who have anticipated this for years. The lazy summary left everything to be desired.

Somehow only as an anime have they managed to contradict every good point #PromisedNeverland Season 1 in two episodes. The tension, the world, the mystery, all gone in 2 damn episodes. #Anitwt #anime #anitwit pic.twitter.com/GJxpV1ZAnw
