RE: Should you really watch Made in Abyss?
I haven't watched this show but from what you have said, it kind of seems like Kaiba but with better backgrounds and animations, would you agree with that? You know; poorly explained setting, childish character artstyle use in violent scenes for shock effect.
Are you saying that the creator is a pedophile just because of the things that happen in this series or have you got a source, when I googled 'Made in Abyss pedophile' nothing about the creator came up?
Damn it, why can't I get a popular post like this, lol?
Yes, Kaiba is a good comparison, but I prefer Kaiba's style to Made in Abyss' simply because the show never tries to mislead you to what it is and juxtaposes the art style and the tone of the show very well. Made in Abyss is designed to trick you, unlike Kaiba, which means it has greater shock value than Kaiba. The biggest thing that separates the two is that Kaiba fully explores its setting and takes the premise to the extreme, whereas Made in Abyss doesn't develop the premise past an idea and explores its setting minimally.
The creator is a pedophile because he sexualises children quite heavily in his manga and favourites/retweets on twitter what can only be categorised as softcore porn of his characters.
Does Kaiba never try to mislead you though? I mean the art looks like it is out of a cartoon for children, isn't that misleading?
I am not sure that Kaiba fully explores its setting because it is implied that it is too large, that there are an indefinite number of planets which are weird and extreme and which we never see. That said from what I have seen said of the show I agree that the hole in Made in Abyss also makes no sense.
I honestly don' t think it is an issue that the creator sexualizes children in his mango or his retweets. I was worried that it was something like the creator of Rurori Kenshin getting caught with child pornography (as opposed to cartoon child pornography), not that that detracts or adds anything either.
Kaiba never tries to mislead. The show starts off bizarre and disturbing and ends off bizarre and disturbing. There's no tonal inconsistency. The cartoony style being potentially misleading doesn't make sense because there have been mature shows that use a cartoony style in the past that aren't misleading. Madoka Magica presents itself as something that it isn't, which is misleading. Kaiba lets you know straight up that it's going to be a sad ride.
It is most certainly an issue that the creator sexualises children in his fictional work. Someone has to have mental problems to engage in that behaviour. I wouldn't be surprised if the Made in Abyss man is arrested for child pornography and if you read his tweets he's clearly mentally abnormal at least.
I guess you are right, after you have watched an episode of Kaiba you know what the tone of the show is. I just can't think of another reason to chose a childish looking characters and backgrounds other than shock effect. Do you think that shock effect is misleading?
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone is arrested for child pornography. Aren't his tweets in moonrunes though? How did you read them or do you mean the pictures are abnormal?
Yes he speaks in moon runes. The way he writes is weird and he writes a lot of strange things. I know enough of the language to recognise at least some of what he says and I use translate for the rest.
