The anime adaptation of One-Punch Man has faced criticism, especially with its second season. Many fans consider it a disappointing follow-up to the popular first season, which was produced by Madhouse. The change in animation studios to J.C. Staff for Season 2 led to noticeable differences in quality. While the second season didn’t live up to the original’s standards, it’s still positive that the anime continues, and it generally stays true to the story from the manga.
While the first season of The Promised Neverland was a huge success in 2019 – a rare anime that combined beautiful animation with a truly captivating story – the second season unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. The initial season was a standout hit, even launching with a strong debut alongside the final season of Attack on Titan, and built up considerable hype for 2021. Sadly, when the new episodes arrived, many viewers felt something was wrong, leading to a significant drop in quality and one of the biggest disappointments in recent anime history.
The Promised Neverland Anime’s Downfall Is Still Worse Than One-Punch Man’s
The first season of The Promised Neverland quickly became popular thanks to its captivating story and excellent animation by CloverWorks. The season finale left viewers eager to see what would happen after Emma and Ray escaped the orphanage, and what the purpose of the farm was. Unfortunately, the second season moved very quickly at first and began to differ from the original manga. Eventually, it completely departed from the source material, resulting in an ending that was drastically different from what fans of the manga expected.
The anime adaptation left out a large portion of the manga’s story. Specifically, Emma and Ray’s journey into the outside world contained important discoveries and was central to the plot. The anime significantly shortened this section – removing over 50 chapters and replacing it with just a five-minute scene – making it clear they weren’t planning to adapt the entire manga storyline.
Many viewers are still disappointed with how the second season of The Promised Neverland deviated from the source material, and they’re still trying to understand the studio’s decision. Although some explanations have emerged, they haven’t satisfied most fans. Ultimately, The Promised Neverland‘s unsatisfying conclusion is considered by many to be a bigger letdown than the delays with One-Punch Man, because at least One-Punch Man is still being adapted, while The Promised Neverland ended abruptly and without a logical resolution.
