Yakusoku no Neverland is an amazing story with huge potential. The story started amazing, was great in the middle, and ended horribly.

To start, I thought the story was great. Everything seemed so planned out and connected so well. I loved how they truly showed you everyone's side of the story, even the demons. In the end, it had me loving all of the mothers and feeling sad for the demons.

I honestly loved the manga but an issue I had with it was the pacing between events. In the cuvitidala arc, there was a huge time skip? I guess I understand why since it was just a lot of traveling but it just seemed odd. Aside from the cuvitidala arc, I really loved how they took their time to introduce certain things (lambda, Phil's check-in, etc). I think it would've been honestly kind of overwhelming if they had introduced those so early on. I get wanting to just know what's going on but I really loved how they took their time to show these events.

The characters I instantly loved, and even the ones I wasn't a huge fan of started to grow on me. You get to see each of the kids grow in their own ways and see the importance of family to them. I loved how they really showed how you can hate a character but love them at the same time. An example of an extremely dimensional character I thought was Isabella. Isabella had us all hating her at the start, but you get to really see that at the end of the day the situation is kill or be killed. I am also really happy they re-introduced Norman and used him to show the other types of farms. I think killing norman off in the first season would've been so unnecessary so seeing him alive was definitely something that made me like the series more.

-HUGE ending spoilers-
Now, something I honestly really disliked about the story was how it ended. It was so rushed and they could've done so much better with it. It was really unsatisfying to see an amazing story be so hurriedly wrapped up. Duke Leuvis being shown to have not actually died was really lame to me, and he was just so suddenly able to convince the demons to give up on the humans? And Emma and the demon gods (?) deal was pretty unnecessary. They basically showed Emma losing her entire memory, and reuniting with everyone else in 2 chapters. It was so hurried along and I honestly think the ending could have been amazing if they hadn't rushed it.
