The Promised Neverland ?
Added 2021-06-09 18:36:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone ✌🏼
So at this point I’ve heard about the second season being a disaster. I’m in the process of coming up with the options for the Death Note replacement poll, and originally I thought that I would put it on the poll again since it was on the last one, but since then I’ve learned about how S2 turned out.
So the question at hand, is it still worth putting It on the poll ? Given how the follow up season has been received. Or perhaps just a reaction/review series for the first season and then just watch S2 off screen in my own time ?
Would appreciate your input, spoiler free please ✌🏼😁

I'd say watch the first season since it's extremely well made and the plot and characters are interesting.

2021-06-14 01:39:35 +0000 UTCI would say season 1 is still worth watching as it can kinda be considered its own thing if you pretend season 2 never happened. I would compare it to "The Last of Us" as in the first game was incredible, and the sequel being garbage doesnt ruin the first game

2021-06-12 05:57:33 +0000 UTCI've seen anime-only watchers start getting what the manga readers were saying after a few episodes. While you won't be able to compare it to manga, you can still compare it to Season 1, and ... yeah. Season 2 is subpar to say the least.

2021-06-12 03:45:33 +0000 UTCI’d love to see you do season 1. I think it has a satisfying ending on its own.

2021-06-12 00:01:55 +0000 UTCI'd skip this one.. Like most people will tell you, season 1 is a good watch, and can actually work as a standalone. From there on out, i would recommend reading the manga. Not sure if you need an anime to replace DN, but if not, then consider The last airbender. I know it will be heavily requested, and an easy poll winner. Hope you're all good :)
2021-06-11 19:40:25 +0000 UTCI enjoy your reviews and reactions because you always have the full picture in mind allowing a proper deconstruction of the whole show. That's why I think your style of review and reaction wouldn't work for season 2 because there's not much to deconstruct. But i think season 1 is really good and self contained enough to be a good fit for the channel so id say only keep season 1 on the poll. The only downside is there will not be a satisfactory follow-up unless you read the manga

2021-06-11 18:36:33 +0000 UTCI think another Show shoud be on the poll where you can watch all Episodes of the Show instead of an Show where you are basically just watching half of it since S2 is veery bad

2021-06-11 12:29:48 +0000 UTCAs someone who has only watched Season 1 (season 2 is not yet on any sites I am subscribed to), I would like to know from anime-only watchers if season 2 is really that bad when you have nothing to compare it against. Also, I feel that season 1 is a must for anime lovers. Having said that, you can always watch it on your own time as was already suggested...

2021-06-10 13:10:59 +0000 UTCAs a fan of the manga i wasn't too impressed with the adaptation of the first season. There were a few changes i didn't like but it was still a decent show because of the source material. Though with how the second season turned out it's definitely not worth a spot on a poll. Funnily enough another show Psycho Pass, which had a great first season but a meh second i think would be excellent for a you. It's first season stands alone and has great themes and an awesome world for discussion. It's phenomenal and definitely deserves a spot on a poll.

2021-06-10 11:56:30 +0000 UTCS1 is worth it. The cinematography, the direction, the expressions, the tension that builds up... it's really, really good. After that, just read the manga on your own if you want, skip S2, it's for the better. S1 is a standalone season anyway.
Sebastiano Barreca
2021-06-10 11:55:45 +0000 UTCA brilliant show for discussion would be the Monogatari series. It's a bit niche to people who haven't watched a lot of anime but it explores a lot of different themes, messages and every character is great. Very dialogue focused but i think you'd like that.
TheStruggler
2021-06-10 10:02:58 +0000 UTCMob Psycho and Made in Abyss would be great. Especially the latter. Imo APFTTU wouldn't be great for a reaction in terms of things to discuss but I do think it is a good show.
TheStruggler
2021-06-10 09:55:43 +0000 UTCI would personally recommend season 1, it's still worth watching imo, but if you wanna react to it is your choice, maybe it's better if you see it for yourself? just an idea
2021-06-10 09:37:29 +0000 UTCI'd rather see you put another show on the poll. There's a lot of amazing shows on your list. I personally consider Made in Abyss, Mob Psycho and A Place Further than the Universe as masterpieces so I hope you watch/react to them someday!
m_yshd
2021-06-10 06:36:22 +0000 UTCSeason 1 is definitely worth reacting to but I wouldn’t touch season 2 at all. If continuing through the manga isn’t something you’d want to do I don’t see that as a problem because the first season can kind of stand alone. If you do end up replacing it consider devilman crybaby, I know it’s not on the list but a few have mentioned it recently, 10 episodes similar length to tpn. Even if it’s in the far future I’d love to see your thoughts on this one.
Sophie
2021-06-09 22:54:25 +0000 UTCI think it’s best to replace it. First season is worth watching, second is abysmal. It would make for a pretty uneven reaction series regardless of whether you react to S2 or not. I think it’s better to just put something else on the poll.
Aleczander
2021-06-09 22:51:58 +0000 UTCit's a difficult one. I really loved season 1, and started reading the manga after, cause I had to know what happened next. Then season 2 came... oh boy, especially as a manga reader it's rough.
MrEvers
2021-06-09 22:27:26 +0000 UTCId say just replace it and watch on your own time if you are still interested
Jonathan baez
2021-06-09 21:59:09 +0000 UTCI would say just replace it with another anime that's the same length but completed. Maybe something like Devilman Crybaby or Great Pretender ?
Kopplex
2021-06-09 21:53:38 +0000 UTCFirst season is definitely worth watching, but second season..... I would recommend reading the manga instead. Btw, personal recommendation, please check out Vivy. It's made my WIT studio. Amazing animation, storyline, and music.
Ryan L
2021-06-09 21:49:28 +0000 UTCI suggest that you watch the first season and just read the manga on your own time
Tricia
2021-06-09 21:46:24 +0000 UTCCould someone tell me what was the other animes on the last poll?
Rayan
2021-06-09 21:43:31 +0000 UTCI recommend you to watch the first season then go to the manga when you have the time. You can still put it in the poll though since the first season is very good.
Hassan
2021-06-09 21:28:16 +0000 UTCSeason 1 is worthwhile. Especially with your style of reviews I think it would work well. Cheers
Birley
2021-06-09 21:26:03 +0000 UTCS1 is great on its own.
Cornberry
2021-06-09 21:25:30 +0000 UTCI would definetely like to see you watch S1, as for season 2 though if i was you i would pretend it ended after S1 lol
2021-06-09 21:18:18 +0000 UTCi think it would be better to just replace it. Too many other great shows out there can easily take its place.
Jawaun Reid
2021-06-09 20:30:14 +0000 UTCBiased opinion here, as a upset manga reader. Nope not worth it
Clare
2021-06-09 20:05:08 +0000 UTCsolid first season, but not worth putting on imo
2021-06-09 19:54:39 +0000 UTCThis is probably gonna fall on deaf ears because the show I'm about to recommend is unpopular, but I think Odd Taxi would be a really good anime for you to watch. It's airing currently and it will have 13 episodes. It's about a taxi driver who gets involved in one mess after another and seemingly everything is connected by small details. Every episode you get some clarity on certain things, but that in turn raises even more questions. I think you could have good post-episode discussions for this anime.
Demolt
2021-06-09 19:46:32 +0000 UTCAbsolutely not. There are so many better shows out there. Season 1 is great, sure, but I'd recommend watching it later and finding a different show to replace Death Note first. Still gonna put my vote in for Mob Psycho or Madoka Magica.

2021-06-09 19:35:26 +0000 UTCAs everyone else has said, season one is great! I, like basically everyone else on the planet, was very disappointed with season two and didn’t even finish it. Season one is amazing though, and I think it works as a standalone season good enough.
Hailee
2021-06-09 19:24:08 +0000 UTCGood thing about season 1 is that it can be watched as a stand alone with an open ending, so I do still recommend it. What they did with season 2 is skip right to the ending of the manga, keeping only a handful of key moments without any of the build up. Imagine if after season 1 of AoT the next season they were already in Marley, then try to fit the rest of the story into 11 episodes. Not even worth watching in your own time tbh, it will spoil major reveals from the manga if you ever decide to read it and it will be a sub par experience. But season 1 alone is definitely worth watching, I would love to see you react to it still. Edit: typo
Miss Mewiththat
2021-06-09 19:22:23 +0000 UTCDon't get me wrong, season 1 is great and I really enjoyed watching it but I think for now maybe keep it on your radar as something to come back to in the future. I think having it on the poll takes a spot away from another great series with a more complete story. I also don't think it would win in a poll either, even if you only plan on reacting to season 1. (If you do decide to watch season 1 I believe that it can be watched as standalone, it leaves room to kind of think of your own ending or read the manga)
itzethan22
2021-06-09 19:12:42 +0000 UTCAs many have said, season 1 is worth a watch. But if you're looking for closure and continuity, I wouldn't count on season 2 at all. There are better options all things considered.
Santiago
2021-06-09 19:07:13 +0000 UTCI believe that the 1st season is worth reacting to.
Mickey Babbers
2021-06-09 19:05:07 +0000 UTCSeason 1 is still amazing. Probably one of the best first seasons of an anime. So toss it on the poll and if it gets picked only watch the first season and do season 2 in your own time.
JAM
2021-06-09 19:04:07 +0000 UTCThe second season for many is unwatchable and a total nightmare of an adaptation. The first season however I do firmly believe can be watched as a stand-alone. Sure you would have questions of what could happen afterwards but the first season’s arc is brilliant enough for you to react to and not need to continue. It’s up to you I guess but personally I think you have enough choice out there for shorter shows that TPN doesn’t really need to be on the poll.
Sacha
2021-06-09 19:00:13 +0000 UTCDon't bother, you only have enough time in the day and probably better off taking it off the list
MS94
2021-06-09 18:59:35 +0000 UTCSeason 1 is still great and completely worthy of a reaction after that simply do what you please on your own time for the second season.

2021-06-09 18:48:44 +0000 UTCFirst season is very good as a standalone 1 season anime.

2021-06-09 18:48:05 +0000 UTCSeason 2 sucks but I would love to see what you think and have to say about the first season! The first season is a must watch
jayden
2021-06-09 18:45:46 +0000 UTCFirst season of Promised Neverland is one of my favourite anime. Season 1's ending is open ended enough for a sequel, but still pretty conclusive. I think you should have it on the poll. I'd personally love to see your reaction to season 1.
Sebastian Samuel
2021-06-09 18:45:44 +0000 UTCAdmittedly I haven’t watched s2 but I feel like replacing it with something that’s better received would be best
2021-06-09 18:45:04 +0000 UTChmm I think I should leave that up to people who wanted it when only the first season was aired, but I would say that you should put it since it was supposed to be there, if people changed their opinion then they just won't vote for it (unless there's a limit on the option numbers and you already have something else in mind).
lumine
2021-06-09 18:43:59 +0000 UTCYou can react to the first season without a problem but I wouldn't recommend watching the second season. Afterwards you should check out the manga from start to finish cause they skipped 80 chapter in the second season from one episode to the next. Some arcs of 20-30 chapters are packed into one episode. I cannot even describe how terrible that season was. It's insane. The second season is just not worth watching. I know that there are people that did enjoy S2 as an anime only but without a doubt of all people that will be definitely not you. If you really want a good experience react to the first season and then switch to the manga. That would be your best option. Though I don't think it will win a poll now with the second season.

2021-06-09 18:43:05 +0000 UTCI have never watched the show so I cannot speak on its behalf
2021-06-09 18:41:37 +0000 UTCMaybe just watch season 2 on your own and release a video after you watch it with general thoughts, what changed or what did/didn’t work?
Sarah S
2021-06-09 18:41:34 +0000 UTCif you were really interested in the series I would say watch season 1 and then read the manga. season 2 is a dumpster fire that skips like 3 arcs and cuts out some of the best characters to jump to the end. that being said, i as well as most people that i have seen are not fans of how the manga ends, so unless you are really really interested in the series it might not even be worth it.
pharaohfallacy
2021-06-09 18:41:09 +0000 UTCI do think that the first season is definitely worth watching, it's short but brilliant.
El Chupacabra06
2021-06-09 18:40:59 +0000 UTCThe Season ist Trash the Manga is a Legend. They skippt so many Canon Storylines. My opinion dont do it
Abdullah
2021-06-09 18:40:09 +0000 UTCI think that while a S1 reaction would be interesting in itself even without you finishing it (on video at least), there are so many other better options out there for you to watch first that TPN should not take over a spot in the poll.
Vraykoz
2021-06-09 18:40:02 +0000 UTCI’d rather you put Violet Evergarden on it instead it’s about the same length as the promised Neverland season 1
Shay
2021-06-09 18:39:25 +0000 UTCI feel like putting it on the poll will just be unnecessary. The first season is amazing story telling and it feels wrong even thinking about season 2. I just read the manga personally after season 1.
Jawad Baig
2021-06-09 18:38:51 +0000 UTCI think it’s worth just watching the first season, Ofc there are things set up that you’ll never get a pay off for, but the first season can kinda be looked at like it is it’s own story.

2021-06-09 18:38:27 +0000 UTCSeason 1 is definitely worth watching. It's phenomenal. I agree with watching S2 on your own time, though it might be interesting to hear your take on the disaster that it is, given your background and experience. I'm conflicted on that.

2021-06-09 18:38:22 +0000 UTCJust skip season 2 and reqd the manga
