| Best [Papa] Incoming JizzyHitler said: Jack said: oh dont let my language make it seem like I was trying to be antaognistic, i just have a potty mouth even when typing that makes my language read stronger then i intend.Yes I know that was who you were talking about, there was one flashback scene with him and said abuser wherein what was showed was rather tame but what was implied on the other hand was quite disturbing. Same with Now and then, here and there, and might I add, the scene from this episode. When it comes to the author's intentions behind it, I can agree, it's very creepy, however what was shown was not so. Also you have to admit that saying something yet not showing is a whole lot less impactful than saying and then showing. Even with your example of the IBO character, that whole backstory would have lost 'something' if it had not been shown and delivered in the way it was. It's one thing to just hear it coming from the character's lips, but seeing it too? So I apologize, I sounded as if I was defending something I was not, but I thank you for letting me clarify, if I was able to just now. I can understand the logic of seeing vs hearing having impact, but this is simply not the case for this part I'd argue. Given the gratuitous and fetishized nature of the nudity in the manga as well as how this scene, in particular, was actually used as a "light hearted" joke  I simply cannot see this as anything other than the author inserting his fetish. Theres simply one too many times something like this happens to be excused as just some way of showing how messed up the world is. Especially when the act of sending children off to their deaths in places full of monsters is already good enough of showing that. The sexual content only takes away from the overall tone, maturity, and impact of the story. The only way I would of seen this as a way to showcase a messed up setting is if the scene was handled in a totally different light, its far too light hearted and comical. While i do agreed that the author is inserting his fetish into the manga, It doesn't take away the tone for me at all . Some might feel uncomfortable about it in the manga but to me it just feel natural. Considering the World that they lives aren't exactly happy-go-luck. |

I mean, she's a minor for crying out loud, not even in her pre-teens as far as I can tell. This scene just felt dirty and if there is more of this type of thing that I'm going to have to reconsider watching this even though the plot actually seems interesting. Questionable fanservice is quite big of criticism for the manga version I heard. People hoped they would tone it down or remove in adaptation but alas. |

| Was hoping there wouldn't be more stuff like that later on but it doesn't sound like that's the case..nonetheless solid episode learned a lot about the world doesn't look like this is gonna be a happy show after all. |

They did toned it down a little bit tho i didn't excepted they would keep that. Also very few people, who read the manga, complaining about the loli fan-service. |

| What is this animation and art quality? It's too good for a TV show! |
 |
| This continues to be the best show of the season so far. Also this is the first opening of the season that's actually pretty good. |
Please stay where you are, the police is on its way. I enjoy this show thus far, but I hope they get back into the Abyss soon. |
 |
| After reading up to latest chapter im really curious how much they censor it in this adaptation... the manga is definitely not for kids lol Can't wait to see some scene to be animated ! |
 |
| Not as good as the first episode but was a very good one... I hope it keeps this level of animation and story! |
| I'm looking forward for the next episode:O Omg i cant wait o-o |

| Based on most of this thread, one could be lead to believe that the only reason why Made in Abyss is claimed to be the anime of the season is that one second of Riko hanging naked. Not that I'm surprised, I mean, why talk about the interesting reveals in the episode, when we can drool over the prospect of more naked lolis. Whatever floats that proverbial boat, I guess. I pick up just one show this season and it still can't escape the fetish baggage that of course derails the dicussion into fan wank and ethical debates. Yeah, I'm a little salty about that. Even if I can usually like something while also disagreeing with some parts of it... this time it leaves an especially sour taste. |

| I liked so much this last episode, hope I can grow fond of this anime. It was fun to see Regu's behavior towards Riko in that scene, that was cute~ And the opening was so cute as well, but I think it won't be as happy as it looks... Idk, Intuition lol |

| fucking childish tho, i just see this scene as to show that they weren't joking when they said they do that, last episode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| I'm honestly in love with this show. And I wanna know more about Riko's mom. Also I ship Riko and Regu so hard. Hahaha! Cuties. I love the ED! It's so cuute. <3 |

| Awesome, the world building is really interesting and complex, didn't get something like this since Full Metal. |
| The world building in this anime is spectacular! I really want to know more about the music their after this episode. |
 |
| Hmmmmhmmmmmm thats a sweet opening. In terms of both visuals and ost. She was extremely thorough when checking out Reg and his features. This episode was also pretty heavy in the feels with Riko's backstory being revealed pretty early on with plenty of information regarding her and her Mom. And it's only episode 2. I look forward to the next episode. Aside from that, I'm really wondering about what sorts of methods are used for punishing here. Being strung up nude is pretty bad already, but this orphanage has an execution room. Thats pretty freakin dark. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| That's nice to see how they really worked on their world |
| Reg is quite adapting the world above the Abyss! lol the kids were talking about ochinchins again! This episode is a bit of info dump with regards to Riko and her Legendary mom Lyza! as well revealing information wherein Riko was born at the depths of the Abyss. 4/5. |
 |
| Another great episode. I'm in love with the background art and awed by the world structure tbh. But the scene of kids casually crossing the river at that height gave me shivers. How can they lead a safe life while living in a world like that is mystery to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lyza sounds like a legend. I'd love to see her in flesh, if by any chance we get to know more of her in person. OP/ED were nice. OP had beautiful visuals. |
 |
| Another great episode. Lyza really must have been a great mother and glad to see how appreciated she was and held Riko above everything else, hope they get reunited. |
 |
| damn the OP is good and wait did she try to rape in the name curiosity?! lol what the hell |
 |
Heksalka said: When I saw that people complained about a naked girl getting whipped I expected to see see more than a scene that lasts a few seconds at most. I kind of expected a scene that woud last minutes the way people are reacting here. Man It's at times like this I'm glad I can just enjoy things without being hurt by the little things. Anyway some cool stuff happened in this episode like the revelation that Riko was born in the abyss. Her mother is pretty hardcore. Quite like this anime so far. It's honestly a lot of fun seeing everyone interact and the world is really interesting. I'll probably pick up the manga. for this one. The funny thing is she didn't even get whipped, she was just strung up. |
| Poor Reg. Getting his body violated. :( Lyza was badass. :D |

coenraed said: Jack said: No, I didn't know/understand that, I haven't read the manga. If you claim It'll all make sense later on, I'll believe you. I also didn't imply that they were fetishizing it, but considering the image that most non-otaku have of anime, just showing kids in a vaguely sexual situation will turn them off no matter the tone or context. (I'd also argue the dialogue about the stick was somewhat fetishy, but whatever). Thirdly, I like this show. A few scenes that clash with what I was hoping it would be won't make me dislike it.Lol you do understand that it is important for the story and world building to show this scene? It's not like they were fetishizing it with weird camera angles or sounds, the whole point of that scene was to show how messed up the world is yet how normal that is to the characters in it. And if you didn't like seeing that you might well drop the show now cuz it's not going to get any better my dude. I totally agree. The nude strung-up child and her talking about shoving sticks of another little boy's ass were really unnecessary and it was a bit of a turn-off for me (but overall I'm still enjoying the show). While I can understand that it's important to show how f-ed up their world is while portraying it as totally normal for them, and I can see it's necessary to illustrate that Reg has relatively normal human anatomy despite his mechanical enhancements, those scenes in question were entirely unnecessary since both her being strung up naked as punishment and his genitalia were already addressed in the first episode through dialogue. If anything, these scenes were simply animated to satisfy the fetishy manga-readers. |
 |
| Amazing episode. Regu is officially part of the group. No more hiding. Oh the white whistle omg. |
| Great episode! It tackles a lot of information which can normally be overwhelming but they did a good job of pacing out the info dumping with character development. Lyza sounds like she is one hell of a badass! Lyza left a cryptic message for her daughter and a goal for her to reach her mother...next episode is titled "departure" so it seems the adventure will begin as they travel through the Abyss! I can't wait!!! |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| Good follow up I would say, going along with the previous episode, it keeps one guessing what will come next episode, the time for them to go inside the Abyss again... I m expecting to see alot of weird creatures!! |
 |
| So... with 13 episodes we can have a decent adaptation? if a manga reader could tell me... Because this is AOTS for me, great 2 episodes.Maybe I will check the manga when the anime finishes. |

Because this is AOTS for me, great 2 episodes.Maybe I will check the manga when the anime finishes. The next few episodes will probably be pretty fast paced (next episode should adapt 3 or 4 chapters), but it should end at a very good stopping point based on a few hints in the OP. |
| Certain scenes made me go WTF (we all know which scenes) but other then that this is still such a cute show :') |
| So, we got more info about the abyss. Poor Reg... xD I feel bad for him haha So Riko's mother is a legendary explorer who disappeared but i doubt that she is dead, especially with that message. But i am still very curious about who Reg is and what was he doing there... I have a great feeling that Riko is immune to the Abyss disease. |

JizzyHitler said: Pretty good episode and world building but the hanging scene existing does lead to worry that this series really will just give into edging it up for the sake of the edge. I've heard a ton of people complain that the series just gives into fetishizing suffering for the sake of torture porn. There is nothing wrong with it, the author can do whatever he want with its own manga, and i just hope they preserve it into the anime too, because is part of the original material. I also dislike that adaptions tone down content because they want more western audience, compromises are never and always a good thing, they have their own audience, otaku or not don't matter, they have to stick with it not please some foreign whiners. podetus said: They did toned it down a little bit tho i didn't excepted they would keep that. Also very few people, who read the manga, complaining about the loli fan-service. Agree, they should keep the same content as the manga. This is how the author create it and this is how they should adapt it. If someone don't like it then drop and watch something else. |

In this show? Goodness gracious, no. There are scenes in the manga that cross the boundary of world-building and goes straight into soft hentai. I'm all for a faithful adaptation but even I don't want those animated. That said, a sarashi would be a good compromise. |
| I'm liking these tons of mysteries than before. Good episode. |
