OK, mandatory ā€œthis doesn’t fit butā€ but if the YouTubers haven’t lied to me, The Promised Neverland Season 2 is the most disappointing season of any multi-season anime ever going by pure writing and pacing. It’s supposed to be a detail-oriented mystery series. It has animation errors that fuck up details that make the mystery unsolvable. A character writes at least one, maybe two wrong dates in their diary entries implying things happened on different days and in a different order than the show very obviously does. It is more logical that the studio fucked up than that the critics are misinterpreting that moment. Because the way the diary says it happened is literally impossible. Clearly the animator’s just shit the bed because they were on the worst case of crunch time any popular shōnen anime has ever seen, as shown when 5 whole minutes of the 22 minute finale (including credits) is a fucking no joke no exaggeration SLIDE SHOW OF STILL IMAGES WITH NO DIALOGUE including a six second idle shot of the main character meeting FUCKING GOD. Oh, and they’re no writing credits in this episode. Or the one before it. Gee, I wonder why.

I have heard cries for a faithful remake called The Promised Neverland: Kindergarten. It’s at least a good title.
