Agreed. Its really well written, but 90% of the characters would have to look and be a decade older to feel comfortable enjoying it. I spent more time being very uncomfortable with the csam (can’t even really call it “borderline” in the manga) than I did enjoying the story and world building.
If anything, reading it made me more wary of manga with obvious children in the cast, and less likely to read it through (I read through made in abyss with a morbid curiosity about whether the author would tone it dow n in later chapters, and holy shit did they not do so).
Yep, love the show but also cannot recommend it. The mangaka 100% knows how degenerate it is, but I’m not surprised because that’s the Japanese for you.
Yeah, the setting, the characters, and the music all mesh together really well to make one of the most compelling anime stories I’ve ever seen. I’ve got more songs from that show in my daily playlist than most others combined, but whenever I tell someone it’s my favorite anime, I can feel their suspicion.

Made in Abyss would be a 10/10 show but it has enough weird shit like this unnecessarily crammed into it that I cannot recommend it to anyone.
From what I’ve heard the anime even toned it down compared to the manga. Considering what made it in, I don’t even want to know what got cut.
I love weird shit, it’s an easy 10/10 for me.
I was getting worried.
Is the story finished by chance? I’ve read that the manga is actually still on-going.
