It is weird that we're getting payoff to a mystery set up in episode 2-3 here on episode 12. I hope nothing bad happens on the surface.

I don't know when the chapter about Kiyui getting treated was first published, but it was only collected in the newest volume. What's worrying me more is all that happens the day after Riko and Reg are gone, while the main story has already progressed approximately a few weeks.

I don't "get" how looking up helped Reg grab spiky's wiffleball in the show any more than I did in the manga so I guess I'll chalk it up to ~~mystery of the abyss~~ ?

Spiky can read minds and predict movements. Only totally concentrating on something unrelated can you hope to fool it. He looks up, Nanachi tells him where to grab. He doesn't know he's grabbing it, therefore Spiky can't avoid it with precognition.

I'm curious about Nanachi's reaction to the hand-beam. She looked horrified by it in a way that makes me think she knows something about it.

For instance it might be that only a few days have passed on the surface while they have spent weeks down at the lower levels, just like how her mother might still be alive despite 10 years passing at the surface.

I would say that it's quite a bit more graphic than Watership Down. Watership Down didn't have steaming viscera spilling out of body cavities. Or depictions of bondage and torture. Or weird moments probably related to a fetish where they kept specifically focusing on nudity or the fact that a character peed themselves.

Oh no a character peed themselves or was tied up. Big whoop. People are occasionally naked (without any sexualisation), guess that means kids also shouldn't watch Naruto.  Kids are smart enough not to go crazy or break from seeing a little something like this. 10 year olds happily play games like GTA and watch films like Bond or the Bourne series, and that's totally fine. Sheltering them too much has a much worse effect than allowing them to view such media. E: and yeah, that shot right there is much worse than even the nastiest scene in Made in Abyss.

What sanitized version of Watership Down did you experience?  Last I looked the book had torture scenes and rabbits literally ripping each other's throats out including descriptions of the taste of hot blood filling the mouth.

I'm gonna say there isn't anything in Watership Down that's weird in the precise way that a prepubescent girl being casually depicted as strung up naked for punishment is weird. That's not something you want to have to explain to people why your kid knows about. I think there are definitely kids that could find this show appealing despite the upsetting violence and general earthiness of it though. One of the more interesting things about it is that, like most really good stories about children, it doesn't treat children like a bunch of one-note twerps or kawaii lumps of sentiment, but tries to portray them as actual characters with a degree of pathos, and kids tend to like that. e: I'm also gonna say that there's nothing wrong with kids learning that if you travel into the wilderness alone and antagonize the fauna, you can be seriously injured and that serious injury is extremely unpleasant. skasion fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Sep 23, 2017 |

Writer's reaction to episode 10:quote:…what are you even talking about? That wasn’t any worse than anything I’ve read in YA literature or seen in movies made from YA literature (like Harry Potter or Hunger Games). Y’all either trolling me, or you have very, very conservative views. Yeah I uh. I don't think they know what they're talking about.

It's certainly possible for a kid to handle watching Made in Abyss, but it's the sort of thing that a kid should seek out or naturally come across on their own. It definitely isn't family viewing night material, especially if you're going to try to turn the show into some message-filled learning experience.Pollyanna posted:Yeah I uh.

I read Watership Down at age 12 or so, for a book report for my school, it was one of like five books on the suggested reading list and it was at least as brutal to read as MiA is to watch. Children are not nearly as stupid or weak as all of you seem to think they are. We also read Lord of the Flies at about the same age and that was way more brutal and hosed up than anything I have seen so far in MiA.

I still vividly remember the scene from Watership Down where all the rabbits are squeezing to try to escape the warrens while being gassed but can't. A++ would forever scar my own children to pass on the horror. There are already a few scenes that I would suspect are a bit OTT in Made in Abyss for children under 11/12 or so.

Why are you equating the value of the material with stupidity or weakness on the part of the children? I'd argue there's a lot more to be learned in Lord of the Flies compared to MiA so far.

What I am saying is that people should not worry so much about how some piece of media is going to horribly scar the poor little children forever and ever. Kids are resilient, they can watch a lot of things and be just fine, there are far scarier things in your average kid's life than any book or tv show, like other kids.
