Reading these popularity polls and feeling like I'm going lowkey insane

(WSJ Chapter 102 Popularity Poll, released September 7, 2018)

(Official Anime Site's 4th Anniversary Popularity Poll, conducted in August 2020)

(VIZ February 2021 Popularity Poll)

Anna being more popular in fanon that Don illustrates the phenomon of a fandom being willing to do one of their least favorite things (appreciate a female character) in order to avoid doing another one of their least favorite things (appreciate a character of color)

Chapter 131: "Welcome to the Entrance"

It's so satisfying to see that entire Cuvitidala/Seven Walls search pay off as we finally get to witness the method that'll allow them to reach the entrance correctly.

The whole ritual they have to go through to accomplish it and all the hard work they put in to figure it out in the first place is so clever in the manga that it makes me really dislike that the anime conveniently place the door underneath GF headquarters and the kids only had to take an elevator down and use their WM to reach it. I know they went through the whole GF raid beforehand but even then, that's too simple.

Is this what it feels like when you know multiple languages? That you can just switch a different part of your mind on and understand stuff without much effort? I wouldn't know. I'm dumb and only know one (unless ya wanna count reading unown.)

Oh yeah, let's not forget to mention that s2 has the door function like the actual pathway to the human world instead of the entrance to the Seven Walls. The door literally has one job and they couldn't get that right.. like I get the whole idea of the Seven Walls was completely taken out of the anime, but damn, why include it at all then??

Dozza not wanting to stand up because he'll just have to go down and kneel eventually anyway is the type of lazy behavior I feel deep within my soul.

It's just hitting me now that Dozza and Luce were related and their horns look quite similar. Bayon was easier to take notice of and the same with Noum and her relation to Nous and Nouma. I know it clearly states it here, but again, I don't pay that much attention to the demons.

Gonna apologize now for all the occasions I'll bring up the queen's fashion sense because the amount of details Demizu put into it is a whole other level of insane. The little design on her belt (I guess I'll call it that?) sorta looks like a flipped version of the center of the Seven Wall's door too. Oh, I'm also never gonna spell her name correctly. I can only call her queen. Or Legs. (I might just call her that from here on out because me, myself and I refer to someone else as queen. obviously.)

Favorite panel/moment:

I love how these panels connect to one another. It would've been cool if the blood actually flowed from the start of their hands all the way down into the jar instead of being cut off midway by the panel, but it's fine.

They both look so good in this panel as well, so brave and positive yet completely unaware of all the horrors and headaches they're about to face. Good luck kiddos!

Okay this is still super cool and subtle enough that people wouldn’t have derided Cloverworks for “copying” A:TLA (nevermind that these concepts existed before A:TLA but because of pop culture osmosis many people would jump to that first) if they did something like this.

Like for Air I could easily see the cover art for chapter 131 being used in some form

tag makes a good point about how Earth could have worked for the Search for Minerva arc:

#Also if Goldy Pond covers all the second season then Earth would come particularly fitting for the next season #since it's very shelter-centered and the shelter is underground!!!!!!

And Water had so many cool inspirations it could draw from, too, with the most obvious being Goldy Pond

(Chapter 67 Bonus Sketch)

(Chapter 72)

But also the Day and Night, which could easily double up for Air as well depending on the perspective they chose to emphasize.

Would love to have seen the S2 Blu-ray covers being incorporated too

With Emma and Ray being shown by themselves at first before the reveal of Norman being alive at Lambda and then he’s added to the mix.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the opening and ending songs for the next The Promised Neverland seasons would continue the element thematic of the first season? Be it Touch off, Zettai Zetsumai or Lamp, all feature passages about “Fire” and “light”. Very fitting for the first arc which ends literally with the orphanage burning down to it’s grounds, while the children break free, like the wild fire they lit in their final night.

For season two, or better the Goldy Pond arc, Water would be a good theme. Not only do we have the name giving Goldy Pond, but water is also the element of change. The children have to change, to become stronger to survive on their own outside their beloved home. The same time other characters have to change too. I’m not only thinking about Yuugo here but Norman adapting to his captivity in Lambda as well as the poachers, who got to witness how fast the prey can change to their hunters as well.

I don’t quite know how much of the next arcs I would put in third season, but I guess Earth would be the next fitting theme. Earth is the element of substance and nature. We got to see much more how the demon society works and get to know different humans from all different farms. The ideals and plans of different parties clash with each other while everyone still share the same thought: Freedom for all cattle children, no matter the costs.

And finally, for the last part, Air. The element of freedom and peace, two things everyone desired after being hunted and chased and eaten for a thousand years. In the end, they get their freedom, their breath of a new world with the demon society changing to a better and the cattle children crossing over the borders of the human world.

I know it’s a weird thought, but I’d loved to see the elements being part of the journey of our dear children ^^
