| Super_Boom said: ---------------- Well...I finished Made in Abyss. Still kinda reeling from it. I was bracing myself for sad...and still ended up bawling on the last episode. I was bracing myself for the wrong type of scene apparently. Nanachi's backstory was absolutely tragic, and Mitty's death made me feel so many different things at once. Argh why did she have all the toys there! And then she had to stop Reg right at the last minute to say goodbye...oh god it's coming back again I have to pet my cat STAT. I could write more, but I'm sure most people who wanted to watch have seen it already. Still, highly recommend to anyone who hasn't somehow. Very likable characters with very human personalities, brilliant animation and sound direction, and a very clever premise. Gave me a strong Hunter x Hunter feeling initially, but grew a lot more unique as it went on, which I appreciated. Overall, absolutely amazing anime, and I'm hyped for season 2. I honestly can't think of an objective issue I had with it, other than maybe recap excess during the episodes (which only is annoying during binging anyway). Gonna end this post with one of the prettiest anime ladies I've seen in a while. |
The toys crushed me in the manga. I simply broke down on that page. That image hit me like a sledgehammer. It showed so much about Nanachi's feelings, so much more than words could ever could. That was pure devotion and love. I did the same thing again in the anime--it showed me that the producers understood what the mangaka was doing when they included it.
The last episode, in my opinion, is one of the best single episodes of anime ever created. Even the one part that wasn't in the manga, the balloon rising up to the top, was stellar. The music in that scene absolutely nailed it.
Then there is the information that Nanachi was supposed to die but became too popular to kill (at least, right away). I can't even imagine. I probably would have dropped the it immediately and scrubbed it from my mind.
And if there is a season 2 ... it certainly doesn't get any easier.
