After I’d watched Made in Abyss, I went to the supermarket. I saw a small child there, holding a barbie doll in her hand and doing cute child things. I would have normally thought, Aw cute kid, and moved on. But instead an image of the child dismembered into small pieces flashed in my head.
My eyes went wide, unable to believe what I had just thought. It was extremely disturbing. Although it was only for a quarter of a second, it was enough to tell me that Made in Abyss had affected me.
If you cannot handle like blood, violence and gore, you DO NOT watch this series. But it is easily one of the best anime I’ve ever seen.
Me not having known about this series all this time was a mistake.
