Made In Abyss (Anime Discussion)

That eye contact sequence with Riko was somehow one of the most intimate things I've seen in a long time. I mean, even romance moments and sexually charges scenes have felt colder and more distant in comparison to that.

I'm pretty sure they really were touching eyeballs for a moment there.

Well, the Pharmacist lady is really, really cute.

She also doesn't/didn't believe in The Curse.

But then, how would anyone believe in it without seeing what it does to people's lives.

Force field causing the Curse is a nice way of tying the various elements of the world into a coherent whole.

Well, one thing that's important to note with this is that this implies that the Curse reaches out of the Abyss. That can't be a good sign.

But the Force Field only exists in the Abyss right?

I think so, as much as it's explained in the show.

I'm sure the fever and the force field are already pretty well explained in the manga, but just going off of the fact that Kiyui was fine as soon as he left the island, it must be something to do with the Curse, right?

Some much needed exposition, and just enough of plot progression. Good/10

And the beautiful thing is that none of this information is anything that any delver would know about.

Almost a thousand years of existence with the abyss and the only reason we as the audience know any of this is because of one character who just happened to gain abilities that let them figure some of this out.

Ever wonder why there hasn't been a top-down view of any parts of the abyss? The real delver's experience means just going at it blind and hoping to not die.

That said, the Rough Map of the Netherworld is pretty damn coherent for something cobbled together from hearsay from either possibly insane non-White Whistles or certifiably insane White Whistles past the 4th layer.

You probably have to have some screws loose to even begin trying to understand how to map out part of this hellhole. Probably like a less-gross cartographical variant of Al-Hazred transcribing the Kitab al-'Azif.

They only got as far as getting a vertical cross section of the place. They probably can't make a good overhead view because that might require going up and down the inclines and cliffs that are all over the place.

Some songs on the OST came out

Crap, you posted it before I did.

Well, time to sit back and give it a listen then.

Well, I expect that the finale this week will cover the end of volume 3 and a few chapters beyond it, depending on how quickly that whole thing is wrapped up.

I actually like the instrumental music more than the songs.

Whatever it is they have to show, they're confident enough in it that they feel like they can release it in theaters. Just like episode 1.

Actually, I just learned than One Piece and DBS were gonna have an hour-long episode too around the same time… Maybe it's just a special occasion?

That is also kind of nuts. Is there just something we're not seeing right now?

Well, today is the day. Today is the day for horrible things happening.

It's fine. It'll actually be uplifting.

Expect new episode in as soon as 2 1/2 hours.

Double-post, but episode just finished airing in Japan. You can try looking for the episode endcard, which I presume was made by the author himself.

That bottom-left though.

Just about done with volume 5 (chapter 38).

I hope they kill Bondrewd. He's a fucking monster.

Red Savant...

New episode's out, by the way. We Weren't Memeing: Part 2.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's the anime thread. But they had the volumes right at face height at my local bookstore! I couldn't resist!

Not actually what I was talking about, but good to know they've already published that far in the Occident. I was referring to the fact that if you've read Chapter 38, then you have a pretty good idea on what happens to him.

That aside, the manga. Pretty good shit, right?

Here's a beautiful endcard◊, by the way.
