The knowledge that she has been tasked with hunting down and retrieving her children creates a more tangible tension as we watch our kid protagonist go about their lives, and I am always cheering for an Isabella redemption arc. Isabella was one of my favorite characters in Season 1, as her relationship with the kids is such a complex one, and I like that the anime is increasing her role in this part of the story. Honestly, not having read the manga, this change works for me. This represents a big change from the manga, in which Isabella doesn’t appear for more than 100 consecutive chapters following the kids’ escape from the Grace Field House. The Promised Neverlandviewers get a major surprise with the return of Isabella, aka Mom, in Episode 4 of the second season. That being said, it’s good to have Norman back! The Early Return of Isabella We’ll have to wait and see how this reunion plays out in the coming episode, but, for now, it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, driven by the apparent rush to get to the end of this story. In the anime, Norman is only absent for seven episodes, undercutting much of the emotional weight of this reveal and reunion. It is another 44 chapters before he is reunited with Ray and Emma. In The Promised Neverland manga, there are 44 chapters between Norman’s sacrifice and the reveal that he is actually alive. With this plot twist, the return of Norman comes much faster in the anime’s story than it does in the manga’s. One of the most-discussed aspects of Season 2, Episode 5 has been the somewhat anticlimactic return of Norman that comes at the end of the installment. Let’s talk about some of the major changes The Promised Neverland Season 2 has made from the source material, and whether or not they work… The Rushed Return of Norman

For fans of the manga who have been eager to see this full story adapted in anime form, it’s probably even harder to watch. After the latest episode (Season 2, Episode 5), The Promised Neverland anime seems to be making major changes from the manga… and, by “changes,” I mean skipping entire arcs of the story, seemingly without any plans to replace them with narrative that bridges the beginning of this story with the end.įor anime-only fans (like this one), who have yet to read the manga, it is confusing. While Netflix-watchers eagerly anticipate The Promised Neverland Season 2, fans who watch the anime on Hulu or elsewhere are five episodes into the second season, and-for the most part-are increasingly nervous about the series’ narrative choices. This Promised Neverland article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 5, as well as the manga source material.
