The Promised Neverland | Goldy Pond Explained 

dang, I cant imagine how good this arc would have been if it was animated

The adaptation really just deleted Yuugo, Lucas, and Lewis. Maaan... such a shame. I remember reading this way back first time, and the phone call reveal was so damn good sheesh. Unlike the anime.. pfftt

Manga Emma is better in every way... For starters: NOT CONSTANTLY DEPRESSED.

nah the arc we deserve is the "apology for horrible anime" arc

Yuugo would be so hot animated, they really robbed the dilf we all wanted 😔

Lol. Manga Norman is brutal. The perfect definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The music that plays in The Goldy Pond will remain a mystery forever

I remember i got so sad that we never got to see Yuugo when they entered the shelter

Lol the characters we couldn’t stop talking about That’s such a perfect cover name for them 😂

They should make a movie adaptation of this!

so the title rings true. this arc is the never land we were promised

The fundamental thing that make TPN good in the first place is the dark, bloody and sad story. And in season 2 all of it now gone

this means we're never gonna hear the goldy pond music, which only serves to further enrage the fandom

EDIT: My ENTIRE Promised Neverland Manga review is out now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-epG0vte1zRU.html This video took a TON of work and patience to make so if you guys can like, comment, and share this video so RU-vid can push it out to more people who also loves The Promised Neverland series I would greatly appreciate it! Expect the Cuvitidala/King of Paradise Arc reaction video to come out hopefully by the end of the month!

Emma vs Leuvis was amazing :( looks like we may never get it in the anime.

I am impressed. You were able to keep this relatively spoiler free, and cover the important bits. The disappointment I hear every so often is relatable. These videos will more than likely get you over 3.5k likes. Manga fans feel a little vindicated by them. Good job. Also, that one of us chant lol.

It's great to see you finally tackling the manga issue. Glad you liked the arc. Another thing that wasn't mentioned at all is how good Mister's progression is done, and it won't be fully developed until a bit later on, before they lose the bunker. Another thing was how minerva used his stories to hide things in plain sight and my favourite... The fourth way gun Emma was using during the hunt

9:02 Imagine if the anime had been animated in the manga's style like that clip on the right...oml that would've been amazing.

Imagine if MAPPA skipped Paradis Battle Arc and Rumbling Scenes

Oh yay, so you are reading the manga 😁. Ill be back in 13 hours, I ain't gonna miss this

So many good characters, arcs, moments, dialogues, hype, world building and not to mention meaning, just thrown away in the production room with the brilliant future seasons that would've kept both kinds of fans hooked much more (and for far longer) in this series

my friends and I had viewing parties over discord every week when the new episodes came out but then from episodes 3-5 (after that everyone decided to stop doing group streams because some people gave up on the season altogether) we were incredibly confused and salty lmao we need bunkerdads please cloverworks

My theory is that the animation studio was on a budget and could only do two seasons so they tried to squeeze 10 books into 7 episodes.

This is the arc we need and the arc we deserved

Goody Pond arc is my favorite arch ever in any manga. Such a disgrace that it was cut in the anime!

Aot ep 1: erens mom gets eaten Demon Slayer ep1: nezukos family brutality murdered TPN ep1: children being bred as livestock. Don’t think there’s an excuse for guns lmao I think budget is the issue sadly.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! You have no idea how many questions I have right now to you. Some examples: what about this character? And what about that one? About this place? This scene? And this scene? And that one scene too? I need to chill 😂 Edit (after the video): Jeez the reason why Goldy Pond Arc wasn't animated is kinda stupid and makes me mad. It's like "pleasing Karens" instead of making something with huge potential. Well at least we can get a fanmade of Goldy Pond Arc. I love how TPN fandom is taking things personally 😂 Also at 1:10 - IS THAT ORI SOUNDTRACK I HEAR?! You're blessing my soul!

I really really want this to be animated,,, What a wonderful arc! 🔥

I’m going to soon start reading the manga, I ordered the books from Amazon, from vol.1 to vol.7 I’ll continue ordering the episode later on when I finished my volumes. I really wanna feel the pain the manga readers are going through

I was so damn ready for goldy pond.... And Yuugo is one of my favorite characters??? I hope we'll get a brotherhood version

Hello 👋. I'm from the promised neverland Facebook group (100k members). We had an idea of starting a fan made goldy pond animation with voice actors for the whole fantom to enjoy and the admins welcomed this idea. We just need animators...

i really wanted this so when norman and Emma had the conversation to kill demons u could understand both sides

They should have changed the firearms into bow and arrow instead of skipping entire arc

the goldy park arc is amazing!! the manga series has a special place in our hears!!

Haha I like how you incorporated that Forest Temple theme in the background for part of this, very fitting! I have heard a lot of people mention that besides Minerva's phone call and the obvious character development, this arc is kind of stand alone in terms of the overall plot (you touched on this a little too). I know there's really no hope for a season 3, but do you feel like if there WAS, this would be an arc that they could sort of fit in anywhere with some minor tweaks? I feel like the concept is super interesting and clever and they could have approached it in so many ways in the anime, its a shame they didn't at all.

After watching the anime before continuing reading rest of the manga. I was so devastated how much they changed in the S2. So now I’m collecting the rest of the manga books

Now u one of us. Feel the frustration and despair!

The protagonists in the first episode of TPN see their sister killed in a back of a truck. And they watch as demons pick her and talk about eating her. So I don’t really see that much of a difference here. Edit:the reason that they are use guns is the defend themselves. Not mindlessly kill anyone. They could have put a disclaimer with the violence or done more to ensure that things won’t get to that point.

Glade to see you put a lot of hard work and effort into this video you made for this Arc it's one of the best I ever read from the Manga btw you forgot to mention the New Side-Characters that Emma stumble across in Golden Pond

First we were robbed of yuugo, then we were robbed of dzaddified norman. I feel betrayed

Excluding Goldy Pond is like excluding the Android/Cell arc from the Dragonball Z Anime.

*finishing the vid * mom can I have 20 dollars to buy books My mom:you read? Me:yes... *mumbles*only manga

I can’t believe I missed this I was eating 😂

6:10 « hElP » 😂😂

This is so fire. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite arc by far. Thank you for covering this. Would you be interested in watching a fan made goldy pond arc?

Maybe in a another parallel universe Season 2 shared the same Masterpiece as Season 1 with the Goldy Pond Arc in it.

When I saw that they deleted all Goldy Pond action.. I was so, so, so dissapointed. To be honest I stopped watching tpn season 2 at episode 7, because I just don't know if I want to watch it to the end. Goldy Pond chapters were my favourite and I was hoping to se it in anime.. but uhh they just deleted it- how sad..

Hey DJ milez, love your content.

TPN season 2 wasnt meant to be enjoyed it was meant to be hated to promote then TPN manga

As a manga reader of the series: that was the only thing I looked forward to when I heard about s2 being in process to be animated for the series. It was the only arc besides the prior ones that were good. And genuinely- while I don’t know if the mangaka and writer were rushed, the series writing took a massive turn for the worst.

So in japan, in attack on titan they show a 10 year old child with a knife killing and murdering people and in season 4 a 12/13 year old girl use guns and kill people and a particular person too but they dont make an arc of 12 year old kids using guns in tpn? Thats bullshit! THEY COULDVE ATLEAST MAKE YUUGO AND LUCAS EXIST IN THE ANIME SINCE THEY ARE ADULTS AND CAN OWN GUNS OMFG IM SO DISSAPOINTED IN CLOVERWORKS I WANTED GOLDY POND TO BECOME TRUE IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING ARC WHY THEY HAVE TO RUIN IT!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

the fight on goldy pond was so freaking lit it's frustrating i will never see it animated. actually, it's not only the fight alone but the whole character development of the kids. lucas and the kids on that arc (i personally love jillian so much), the reunion of lucas and yuugo and the five demon families (correct me if i am wong if they were five or what since its been long since i finished it). manga emma is definitely the best emma between the two. she is so badass in the manga and they did her so dirty.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh😃😃😃 I am more excited to this one than the actual anime season 2.

The anime wanting to wrap it up in 2 seasons is the only theory (on why they removed goldy pond arc) that makes sense to me. There are plenty of violent anime that kids with guns in anime would be nothing alarming. Or maybe they simply want to deviate from the manga somehow... So that they won't 100% know what happens next either. Well, whatever is the actual reason, as a manga reader, can't help being frustrated on TPN's wasted potential in the anime industry... But oh well.... What's done is done.

I stopped watching with interest after episode 3 when Yuugo was nowhere to be found and the swat team arrived with guns within the same episode.. I knew then that they were gonna squeeze the entirety of the manga into just 2 seasons. I literally stopped watching all together after episode 7, saw the suggestions about ep11 on YT, gave it a watch, felt sick to my balls. Manga fans won't be complaining about Emma's ending now like they did when the last chapter released. I liked it then, still like it now.

aw man I really wanted to see the goldy pond arc animation ;((

For me the anime is 3/10 and the manga is 8/10 because the ending. If the ending was better i would make it a 9

I really waiting to see yuugo and lewis,damn i want to see Lewis too,he's interesting cool demon. And adult Norman,its really sad that we all can't never see goldy pond arc at all then.

8:05 "It doesn't get anymore extreme than that." ... How about a cute little 6 year old girl who thinks she's going to be adopted getting stabbed, slaughtered, and harvested, and ehem, eaten, as her siblings who thought they were just living a peaceful life together in a foster home watch in horror, only to realize they're being raised as cattle? I feel this argument isn't as strong when the story has been not too far off in how dark it started off, featuring the idea of humans being eaten, and somehow that being considered less horrifying and violent than gun use, or the arson in S1. Not to mention that it's barely even possible to get your hands on a gun in Japan, especially a child, (usually only a rifle, in certain places, after getting a very meticulous license from what I hear). Guns are not portrayed as something exciting or great to use but as their tool for survival, especially when they are being hunted, and I'm not even sure why this anime suddenly gets this kind of treatment when there are other modern anime that feature guns. I can see the U.S. censoring this kind of stuff with kids and violence (see the Legend of Dratini episode in Pokemon that never aired in the U.S. for pointing a gun at a child's head), but Japan seems like an odd choice, especially when they don't seem to mind more violence and sexual themes/characters in even childrens' TV shows than the U.S. Again, not to blame you, but I feel whatever reasoning the executives had, it's pretty flimsy. (Plus, on Hulu, S2 is said to be rated M. The Shonen demographic is a little strange to be honest, as it really tends to focus more on teenagers and even adult themes more than younger or preteen boys.)

wow your analysis was done perfectly. one of my all time favorite arcs and i've re read it more times than i can count

Since I am like two years late.. Noone's probably gonna read this.. But I am still gonna share my thoughts... Like after I watched tpn season 1..I went straight to the manga because I have heard rumors about the anime adaption of season 2 ruining tpn.. Then I tried watching season 2 after reading the manga..I didn't have much expectations.. BUT EVEN THE LOW EXPECTATION I HAD WAS CRUSHED.. Look..When I heard they ruined tpn..I thought it was like maybe bad adaptation, bad animation, bad voice acting, bad directing or slight changes..Maybe some small scenes cut(Like u know how they cut the scene of the kids falling into the pit in s2ep1or ep2..Like that was such a small scene..so it was ok) I DIDN'T KNOW THEY'D CUT ARCSS!??!? LIKE EXCUSE ME?? Usually when reading mangas..I do not get fight scenes(Like i dunno wats happening)...So I am just as clueless watching fight scenes in anime adaptation as anime watches are..But TPN was the first manga..I actually understood what was happening in the fight scene..AND I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ARC BEING ANIMATED EVEN IF IT WAS GONNA BE SH*TTY! But I didn't know they'll just remove the arc as a whole T_T

I’ve heard rumors that maybe the reason why they didn’t adapt Goldy Pond could be because CloverWorks isn’t really used to doing action heavy stuff. But I’m not sure if that’s true.

the promised was neverland...

This could be the best season if they included the goldy pond Sad

"It's like breeding Kois. Then one day, I suddenly decided to just grab a hose and slowly sucked the water out of the Goldie Pond and watch my Kois gasp for water as they flounder around an empty Goldie Pond." - Kaiu Shirai. Probably.

4 mins. & 12 sec. Is the time were i stopped this video before it gets spoiled. You convince me. I will read the manga.

Whoever came up with the idea to skip the Goldy pond arc should be dropped kicked...

It wouldn’t have even been THAT bad If they hadn’t kept the monitor room scene the same BUT with YUUGO like bruh... :(( Goldy pond so great

If I didn't have school, work, and other responsibilities I would read Manga more but right now I don't have the time. I'm so glad this exists because I'm still confused as to whats going on in this anime.

So I just finished reading Volume 9 and 10 for this and it did not disappoint at all, it had me on the edge of my seat for every chapter, there was so much info to take in and the Action is on Par just as Usual, I totally agree with everything you said in the vid. I can’t wait see what comes next.

The Promised Neverland? More like the “The Promise that Neverwillbe”

This was the whole reason I started watching season 2 and when I saw that Yuugo wasn't there broke my heart

My favourite part of TPN was the fight scenes in the manga, can't believe we were robbed of the goldy pond arc and all the other fight scene.

Other possible reasons they cut Goldy pond and I'm not quite caught up yet on season two and haven't finished the manga ALSO MILD SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA Goldy Pond inflates the cast After escaping Goldy Pond Emma's group jumps up to over 50 people to keep track of in scenes. (Which allows for more child death to keep things climatic but also you lose a lot of faces you don't know.) Emma's family from Gracefield is already a pretty large cast to where I wouldn't expect anyone to remember everyone's names but still remember their faces. Also while Yuugo and Lucas are really cool, the main focus of the show is Emma, Ray, Norman, and the kids. This is probably why they ultimately got rid of Yuugo and Lucas cause we can't have very capable adults hanging around to help the kids.

Are you seriously playing Ocarina of Time/Forest Temple music while talking about Goldy Pond????? Omg I love you

... I'm still bitter about the Goldy Pond. I think it's my biggest disappointment in anime I ever felt.

they have the money to fund a LIVE ACTION but not to animate this arc. Choices.

Dude, I feel disappointed that this never happened *im so attached to yugo and Lucas, THEY ARE JUST-aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THEY ARE JUST-AAAAAAAAAAAA*

great job on the video! i 100% agree on this! it’s sooo upsetting cause even as a anime original it had so much potential for a good plot and story to unravel. sucks to see a good anime become trash

The first season was amazing but the second was jeez omg

It's so funny that Shirai wanted the second season to stray away from the manga because he didn't like Goldy Pond and the other arcs even though the fans liked it a lot and so far hate the new season

What I was waiting for 😭😭 and THANK YOU for posting this! Earned a sub

Sorry but the wiki said that the kids *sadly,fifteen* lived for a month in the shelter (anime**) DIDNT THE 60+ KIDS LIVE IN THAT DAMN SHELTER FOR A YEAR AND 9 MONTHS???

The manga is just too weird and many readers arguing so much whe re theres someone dying like wtf they choose to read the manga😂

Actually archduke lewis is very important to the end of the manga so goldy pond is not just about the phone call

They should of adapted the arks in the manga in Chronological order and I bet one or two arcs a season

I’ll be here

i feel bad for Demizu, she illustrated the whole manga just for it not to get animated

Loved the video. I have to say the manga looks 1,000 times better than the anime. Also, I think the only salvation the anime has is a cliffhanger ending at Goldy Pond. Either 1) Emma is captured and wakes in Goldy Pond and the anime ends teasing S3; or 2 (and the one I personally prefer) is that all the conveniences seen from the pen happen, the kids then end up saving Phil and the other kids, Grandma Isabella is blocking them from the "Human World" entrance, the kids manage to defeat Isabella and they flee to what they think is safety only to discover they've been led straight into Goldy Pond, ending the anime with a potential S3. In S3, if i were the writer for this "original anime" I'd have Yugo in a cloak immediatly saving the kids from demons who attack, but some of them die in the altercation anyway. Emma, Ray, Norman and the survivors flee and Yugo explains what's going on. From then on, S3 would be manga-adapted content only, but obvi3usy tweeking spots since Norman is already revealed to be alive. Oh and I guess have Isabella still be alive? I'd feel like having her dead would suck as she's a fan fav in the anime, but too many villians/bad guys isn't always good so, yeah, I guess I'd keep her axed out. 😅 Lol, as a writer, I tend to change bad stories into what I think is best and go on a tangine. Sorry, didn't mean to for this. 😅 Anywho, there's only a few episodes left, so yeah, a Goldy Pond cliffhanger ending is the only savior to this anime. If not, well, cancel it and have it remade. Or just don't bother. Or ill just rewrite it, I don't mind. Lol.

Holding out for a "The Promised Neverland Route 1" or whatever a remake would be called... Jesus... now I KNOW what the Fullmetal Alchemist, Tokyo Ghoul, and Hellsing fans felt...

One of the thing I noticed, is that, while the first season is rated (sorry if I spelled it wrong, I'm not his good at english) to people with more than eighteen years old, the second season can be putted as 13/14, because they changed the whole way of telling the story

This probably would've been one of the best Anime of all time if they stayed true to the manga. But the manga itself isn't perfect either, Heck. it would also be one of the best Manga of all time if the creators were given more time to draw and produce their story. I love the concept and the story so much, it pains me to know that they were rushed to finish the story..

Me just waiting for my hero academia session 5 bc the promised neverland anime is dead tooo me they cut out gillian and Lucus

to your point Attack on Titan's use of gore and weaponry being ok since its used in the context of war, technically the world of the promised Neverland was also in a war weather it was the kids trying to break the promise and be free or the war that happened before the promise was even made. I don't think the aspect of kids being trigger happy in a shounen is the thing that turned the producers off from putting it in the story. If a Karen had a problem with then don't let your kid watch the show, or just change the age demographic. Most of the time, the anime is the thing that advertises the manga. If a manga reader tells a anime only "aw man the anime sucked, the manga was so much better" then its most likely the anime only will spend money on the manga since everyone who read the manga and saw the anime was disappointed. Im so sad though, I rlly wanted to see goldly pond animated, especially the scene where Gillian was fighting with the machine guns

I watched season one, then continued in the manga and after finishing watched season two. Let me tell you, I had to stop watching after episode 5.

I actually dont know why the heck these videos dont get more views and likes~ but if they were going to remove any arcs, Goldy Pond DEFINATELY shouldn'tve been one of them :

I just actually wanted to see this arc in the anime 😢

MAeby in lots of years we can see a good adaptation, the true is, Iwatch the first season, (both seasons has ended) then I bought the entirre manga an enyoed a lot, the start to watch second season and was... like WTF, I even watched complete, I was too dissapointed

petition to animate goldy pond ourselves

Are you still going to make videos on the other arcs?
