This Promised Neverland Take Didn’t Age Well 🙁

Back in 2019, we genuinely thought The Promised Neverland had the potential to rival DEATH NOTE... 💀😭 And with one season....kinda, Season 1 was amazing. Fast forward to 2026, and well... THIS DIDN'T AGE WEL 🙁 In this throwback clip from our 2019 anime podcast, we discuss just how incredible The Promised Neverland Season 1 was. From the psychological mind games and insane tension to comparisons with Death Note, Attack on Titan and Made in Abyss, we really believed we were witnessing the beginning of something special. Season 1 had EVERYTHING. The suspense, the mystery, the intelligent characters and that constant feeling of not wanting anyone to get caught. But knowing what happened with Season 2 makes watching this conversation back in 2026 absolutely PAINFUL. 💔 Were we wrong to believe in The Promised Neverland, or did Season 2 simply ruin what could've been one of the greatest anime of its generation? 👇🏿 Let us know in the comments Was The Promised Neverland Season 1 genuinely Death Note level? And do you think the series deserves an anime remake that follows the manga?
