I recently finished Made in Abyss. I’ll have the review up in a few days, but I want to give a reasonably thoughtful commentary on some of the controversy that surrounded this show, so my review might take a bit to polish. As a preliminary, I’ll just say that, whatever its source material might be like, the animated version is one of the best anime I’ve ever seen, up there with the likes of Vision of Escaflowne and Super Dimension Fortress Macross.
It should be watched for its background art if nothing else, but there’s also the soundtrack, the direction, the lovable characters … and the frontier medicine scene. If you’ve seen it, you know what I’m talking about.
I probably need to wait a few days to publish because if I talk about it too soon, I’m more likely to gush over it than review it properly. Just amazing.
But anyway, I think I should stop writing about it for tonight and go work on my book instead.
