Goldy Pond is an extremely well loved part of The Promised Neverland, and likely many manga reader’s second favorite arc just behind Grace Field. Season 2 of the anime was expected to cover it, and considering how outstanding the quality of the first season was, hype was astronomically high. Unfortunately what we got instead was a piecemeal version of the remainder of the Promised Neverland story, all crammed together into an original mess of a second season.
While season 2 finished the story, albeit horribly, it failed to include the one section of the manga that readers were most excited for…
That section… was Goldy Pond
I’m not here to bash on the second season of The Promised Neverland. Nor am I here to compare it to how the manga plays out. What I’m here to do is to give you a taste of what the anime could have been by exploring Goldy Pond, an arc that has been Missing in Adaptation.

35:54 Good Job
