with some terrible fan service/sexual harassment early on
gets better after the start though.

I definitely agree that scene is heartwrenching seeing it animated to well. On another note, I feel the film did well in doing away with the
movie creation

Hayato is best boy in that pic though
True true.
Yeah I was so happy they didn't include that part.
I really liked all the character back stories. Shoko's mother's story is probably the one that I missed the most in the movie. Mashiba as well. He seemed kind of unneeded in the movie although I liked him a lot in the manga, especially because of the scene you mentioned. Him
spilling water on Ishida's teacher
I know a lot of people will disagree, but I really prefer the movie's ending. It was a nice conclusion and had some heavy emotional impact, for me at least. The manga's ending was so... unexpected.

Megumi is just the best girl in the show. It's really not a competition. Dunno why the author is hung up on anyone else.

I really liked the show. If you like shounen type show, you might enjoy it. Very fun and likeable cast.

Darn totally forgot they do the song for the anime, need it so much. Fav groups doing songs for stuff Im not watching is not fair.

100% agreed with this. Thats one of the main reasons why I dont really have a desire to check out the manga. I might just read spoilers or something since I am invested in the world and there are many questions I want answered.
In addition, I also just dont understand the trope of putting little kids through all that. Would the story and themes really change that much if the characters were much older?
Nanachi and Mitty's story would still be tragic even if they were much older.
For me, it's between this show and MHA. I still have yet to finish Eccentric Family S2 so that might be in the race as well. Everything else I've watched were meh to good. Even though Abyss had its share of problems, it's hard to ignore all the things it did right and immensely so.
What did you dislike about it?

I dont see why storytelling should avoid using kid characters in tragedy.
I dont think any of those borderline or actually lewd scenes added to the tragedy and could have easily not been created.

Thats fair, I edited my post to better reflect my feelings on the two separate points. The lewd stuff was irredeemable for sure. Regarding children undergoing torture and stuff, unless their young age actually adds something meaningful to the storyline and themes, it just feels cheap to me. Kids can undergo tragedy and struggles, sure, but I'm just uncomfortable when things become extremely violent and gory.
I agree in general with you guys about these problems with Made in Abyss (although I never felt it was prominent enough to dampen my enjoyment or stop me from recommending it), but I was curious. Do you guys believe there are ways to do those things tastefully and what would they be? For exemple, these kids are going on an adventure, and they need to not only bathe, but other stuff like poop as well. Is there no way to show that stuff tastefully? I know in the case of Made in Abyss the author is a lolicon and the intent is there, but if my intent is just to show that these kids are having to deal with these natural parts of life, is there no way to escape these judgments?

I guess the question is, what do scenes of them bathing and pooping contribute to pushing the story forward? What would the author accomplish by adding these scenes that they absolutely couldnt in any other way? It's implied the characters will bathe and use the bathroom so why is it necessary to show them if they dont add anything of value?

UQ Holder Episode 3
Well there are some great parts to the anime.
Yuki Kaji is doing great voicing his character too.
But i wouldnt suggest to people to pick it over the manga, its like the anime is doing everything possible to make it uninteresting.

Sengoku Night Blood Episode 3
Kind of goofy at times, but definitely like most of the other otomes on the market, except the lead is getting worst and worster.

New Game!! S2 Ep. 4
Time for some happy shit.
Err this game is violent af. But the premise is actually kinda neat? I wish it was real. I'd love to play it.
We also got a ton of Hifumi this episode so hell yeah. Loved watching Rin get jealous. I'm scared she might go full yandere tho.

Food Wars s3 Episode 3
The anime continues to make Terunori Kuga amazing, and also hearing Yuki Kaji in three anime this season, wow, I love how he is actually a different type of character in each of the anime that they all end up feeling unique. Kuga teasing Yukihira was the best
Also those SoTaku feelings. Amazing.
The anime makes all the food explanations so much better than the manga, I often just skim or skip most of them in the manga since the anime explains it better.

If true, I can understand why they went anime original for the last 2 episodes. You can't end a series with this big of a misunderstanding cliffhanger

Evil or Live Episode 2
Internet addiction remains compelling as well as how extreme some people are for their phones but some other parts of this anime are kind of dumb and really makes me wonder about the chinese comic artists cause that whole plot about the girls needing to make Hibiki into a man was just awkward, actually this whole subplot continuing on from ep 1 was just awkward and everybody and their granma knew they wouldnt.
Hopefully the anime puts this behind them fast and we can get to the real meat of the story. Please.

Three Leaves, Three Colors Episode 2
This one is focused more on our Yellow Girl, Teru Hayama, the girl who has the heart of a demon outside of pets. Given that she's a demon, it is clear she will have a sister, and she does. Who likes to cook strange shit as a result of Teru being a sickly child. Ironically, it is the sister who puts our other two girls out of commission.
Bitter Melon, White Roe, and Liver Rice balls

UQ Holder 3 was so stupid. It was a decent ep, but most of the changes were pointless since they sped through it the way they did anyway. And they ruined Shinobu.

Alien 9 is perhaps the only anime that does things right without resorting to torture porn. Despite the heavy bodily and psychological tension of entering adolescence, things are presented rather symbolically. In the manga too.
Gunslinger Girl too in a sense.
Narutaru...not so.
Though Alien 9 manga author crossed that line later with Milk Closet manga.

Episode 3 tends to bring the plot twists, and this one is pretty mundane
This is Sonobe, a former maid for Yoko. She is also in her thirties. She is clearly in her thirties. She likes to infiltrate schools to self promote. And she gets to be the boss of Yoko.
Reverse power struggles do exist.
Meanwhile the Glutton doesn't have an episode.

Seems like the Light Novel was planting seeds to throw Nina into the mix as someone else for Aguri to think Urehara was cheating on her with.
But yeah, since this isn't likely to get a second season, I like that the anime ended the way that it did.

It turns out the Glutton can actually cook too! How novel. Yamaji got demoted into dog status, as he can be summoned with a stick.
We got two more characters. The little boy who is the "fiance", and the Glutton's young cousin, who knows the little boy, and wants him. She planned out her life up to her 50s.
Finally, some more comfort food anime.

Children of the Whales ep2
I can't get over how beautiful this anime is, like damn.
But omg, I thought I was gonna go crazy with how long they drew out the thing Lykos was trying to say at the end. Just spit it out already! Also that ending. Of the things I expected
were not one of them LMAO
And while the visuals for the ED are pretty boring, I suuuupper love the song. Kinda made me think of Nier music.
Black Clover ep3
Holy shit Asta shut the heck your trap already, my ears are friggin' bleeding over here. Seriously, I do not think I have ever seen a main shonen character so dislikable as this boy, jfc.
I'm interested in the world and what the other characters will be like enough that I keep going, but holy moly his voice. 😬
Juni Taisen ep 3
I am loving this anime. Yeah, it's totally predictable, but I am super enjoying the characters and how they play things out enough that it's still a really fun ride. Even if I know who's gonna die, the deaths still get me like O_O dang..... brutal....
Today's kills were especially brutal, too. This girl isn't messing around FFFF
