Is Made in Abyss for Children?

Japanese animation, or anime, has been gaining popularity in North America over the past two decades.

Some anime is aimed at children and teens for the most part, with shows like Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and Inuyasha. Some people don’t realize is that anime has a huge adult-aimed repertoire too.

Made in Abyss, a show about children going down a labyrinth of tunnels, has both anime and manga (the comics counter-part of anime).

People like the deleted user on the anilist are quick to remind us that it is not for children.

They claim that they don’t mean to imply that we can’t or even shouldn’t enjoy Made in Abyss, but they give us a fair warning before we bury our face in the manga or start watching the show itself.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the show is really dark. TVTropes.com mentions that “Despite its kid-friendly appearance and art style, Made In Abyss is a very disturbing horror series.

On the Fifth Layer of the Abyss, the ascension curse causes you to lose all senses. This means that Riko’s attempt to ascend a flight of stairs results in her biting her own teeth so hard.

Some of the characters end up nearly being dissected, and so much more. It is a very disturbing and gory theme, for sure. And not appropriate for children.
