Did Made in Abyss go too far?

I missed out. If reg acts confused towards humans, I just assume it's 'cause he's a robot from some unknown civilization.

Ok, but why she was naked?

This would have been good without the pedo shit.

It's actually quite respectful. No upskirts, no stupid groping "accidents", no unrealistic character traits forcing lewd situations. All kids are portrayed as intelligent, empathic, competent and innocent. There are lots of harem shows also featuring a 12 or 13 yo girl almost fully involved in the shenanigans. MiA is an angel compared to that. Difference is Riko looks younger than she actually is (12). In the anime even moreso than in the manga.

t. neo-weeb

Inside the anime and actual manga story content, there's nothing outrageously objectionable. It's all reasonably within the scope of their universe.
The extra material like the manga inside covers is far beyond that scope, however, and really tarnishes a good story.

Don't like homosexuals, huh? Telling, you probably said the same about Billy Elliot.

I like when she peed herself during surgery

Another notable thing is that when we do see characters naked, the viewpoint isn’t leering, with no closeups on their chest. It doesn’t give one a “this is fan service feeling”

MiA is tame compared to anything by Nagai

>those chest bumps
Lewd!
Thankfully the anime censored that by draping her hair over those budding tits.

I've always seen this panel as a terrifying portrayal of human nature. Riko witnesses Reg's destructive power and is overjoyed and wants nothing more than to see it used more. Are we born with a lust for destruction or is it imposed upon us?

All I know is we truly live in a society.

sure buddy

Literally only a pedo would see this as pornographic. Do none of you go to beaches?

It didn't go far enough

>All kids are portrayed as intelligent, empathic, competent and innocent
And that's why it's bad. All kids are almost the same and they are lacking negative traits.

Girls stop going topless on the beach by the time they turn 8. Riko is 12.

Why aren't you naked?

>Telling, you probably said the same about Billy Elliot.
What the fuck is a Billy Elliot?

The drawings are actually always functional, corresponding to the situation. You sometimes can find examples where the angle can be interpreted as voyeuristic, but that doesn't refute the fact that the paneling and perspectives are focused on what characters do and say and what happens.

Wow, now that's an argument.
XD

The punishment was spoken of before it happened, and with a good dose of terror from Riko. She has experienced it before and did again, because she misbehaved. The concept is sound: pain and embarrassment, two things that work really well in disciplining people. Did the author "have" to do something like this? Did the anime have to depict it? The answer to both is "no", but along with many other things we see both horrifying and beautiful, it helps to establish the world as both familiar and alien. A punishment like this would be unthinkable for us, but for their world which routinely sends children into a deep dark pit of despair and horror and treats those who venture deep into that nightmare as heroes and honored dead (for those that do), it reminds the viewer just how "not us" this place can be.

he wasn't confused, his dick knew.

>the same

The only real examples we get of normal human children in this world (anime only fag, fuck off) is Riko and her friends (who aren't seen much beyond the first few episodes), Meruruk, and Nanachi. I wouldn't say any of them are the same and lack negative traits. Riko's head for the Abyss is so far up her ass she can't see straight, Meruruk is running from society because of his femininity, and Nanachi is a big pile of anxieties and depressions (for justified reasons). Even the other friends at the orphanage are different from Riko. They're hardly flawless characters.

Oh, the necessary nuances are there. Riko's character is pretty extreme in its daredevilishness and determination, actually. Reg is more introverted and isn't too stable emotionally. Episode 10 is a wonderful display of character if you look behind the harsh events. The side characters are also different. The whole conflict between Nat and Riko clearly showed that.

because that is the correct way to punish bad girls.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figging

using sexual punishment on children was pretty normal for a long time.

most kids actually are that way, especially when they are raised well. its not about a large group of kids where a few assholes or autists stand out. its about a few good kids that end up having to deal with heavy/serious stuff. they're also not from our retarded hypocritical culture, so they arent dealing with our mixed messages fucking them up.

>The whole conflict between Nat and Riko clearly showed that
The problem is that it's one and only conflict between kids in the story. I liked Riko's conflicted feeling about her mom too, but once main characters entered the Abyss they become progressively less interesting as well as their relationships.

Grown women go to the beach topless.
Indeed.

I'm not denying that Akihito is likely a sick fuck, but if we boycotted all manga that had sick fucks producing it we'd have like 3 series to read.

Hell lets even extend that to books, films and music and we get the same problem.

yes , the author is a sick fuck and puts all of his fetish in there.

the only thing i actually hated about this anime , i cant recommend this shit to fellow virgins without sounding like a sick lolicon

>Grown women go to the beach topless.
Even you don't consider this a legitimate argument.

Bruh Riko treats Reg like an object and Nanachi tortures dudes to death, that enough for your "negative traits" fetish?

this was obvious in the anime as well? what level of speedwatching are you on?

Yeah, I do.

The argument that nudity (yes, even of children) Can have reasons to be portrayed other than sexuality, its a concept everyone but prudish Americans can understand.

That is not in the top five of most fucked up things to happen to a little girl in that series

I would not allow my wife on the beach without a onesie that adequately covers her chest and back. No two-piece bikinis.

It's no coincidence that incidents of skin cancer rose exponentially around the time the two-piece bikini became popular.

Made me laugh

>Ozen was the one that forced him to dress like a maid.
There are a lot of very erotic doujinshis on this very topic

But in the end it doesn't even matter

>A punishment like this would be unthinkable for us
Only for current year.
