Just finished binge-watching 'Made in Abyss' and I'm thoroughly enthralled but also a bit traumatized. The way this anime presents the duality of beauty and brutality in the pursuit of exploration is something else. The Abyss itself, with its alluring mystery and deadly layers, makes it an irresistible call to the adventurers, kind of reflecting our own desires to explore the unknown despite the dangers.
The character development, especially Riko's relentless curiosity and Reg's protective instincts, intertwines perfectly with the narrative, driving home the point that the journey is worth every risk. However, the series doesn't shy away from the harsh realities and consequences faced by the explorers, making every descent a tense, heart-wrenching experience.
What I find most captivating is the moral ambiguity of their journey. It's not just a simple good vs. evil; it's a complex intertwining of sacrifice, survival, and the insatiable hunger for knowledge. This anime beautifully captures the essence of exploration and human resilience, but also doesn't hesitate to show us the cost.
Anyone else feeling a mix of awe and horror at the cruel beauty of the Abyss? Would love to hear your thoughts on how 'Made in Abyss' tackles the theme of exploration.
