Reader’s Question:
Is Made in Abyss a depressing anime? I’ve seen some clips of the gruesome scenes and got curious, so I watched up to episode 8 of season 1. So far, I haven’t really encountered much in terms of gore or dark themes. Does it get worse later on? Also,
I know there’s a second season, but is the original manga still ongoing? Please no spoilers!
Is Made in Abyss Really That Depressing?
Hey there! So, it sounds like you’re diving into the world of “Made in Abyss,” and I can totally relate to that intrigue. I remember when I first stumbled upon it—my friends were buzzing about the visuals and the storytelling, but there was this underlying current of “just wait, it gets darker.” You mentioned watching up to episode 8, and honestly, that’s still the tip of the iceberg. The emotional weight and those gut-wrenching moments really start to pile up as you progress. I mean, I was sitting there, snacks in hand—maybe a few too many gummy bears, if I’m being honest—fully enjoying the beautiful animation, and then BAM! It hits you with a scene that makes you go, “What on earth just happened?” The user who commented about feeling a mix of disbelief and sadness really nailed it. It’s not just about the gore; it’s about the moral dilemmas and the sacrifices the characters face. I remember sitting there, my heart racing, thinking, “How could they do that?” It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, to say the least. As for the manga, yes, it’s still ongoing! That was a surprise to me too. I thought the story was wrapped up, but I found out there’s still more to explore. It feels like a quest of its own, diving into the written world while watching the anime unfold. Each new chapter is like finding a hidden treasure, though sometimes it feels like you’re digging a bit too deep! If I were to share a piece of advice, it would be to brace yourself for the emotional impact as you continue. Keep some snacks at hand—trust me, you might need them to comfort yourself after some of the heavier scenes. And don’t hesitate to reach out to fellow fans to discuss your thoughts! There’s something cathartic about sharing the experience with others who understand that mix of excitement and dread. I’d love to hear your thoughts as you continue watching!
