This show better be faking me out on where I think it's going. Mitty can't be Lyza, stop making me think that blob thing is Riko's mom. :shepicide:

Shroombear however is amazing. :kimchi:

If the curse can transform someone into a sentient blob, I don't think changing its eye color is much of a stretch.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Someone should give this a real thread name though. I was complaining in the other thread and didn't notice.

E: At least put anime thread or manga thread in the titles. I don't want to get spoiled on how gruesomely the rabbit dies or whatever.

I don't think so. You can ask in the manga thread.

I hoped the Manga icon was enough. Nnaa isn't really relevant to the Anime either.

I requested a title change. If you haven't read the manga, unread the manga thread, as you should normally land at the OP which I kept mostly spoiler-free and has a disclaimer refering to here.

Do we know what the initial scope of this production is? I know it's 13 episodes but is that 13 with an option for season 2 or do we think they're going to try to just mash an ending into this first run?

I don't really know how stuff based on running manga typically gets adapted.

There isn't enough material for a second season yet, but I think we can rule out an original ending.

Running series normally get adopted once, with an open or original ending, and probably never get picked up again, because the manga already ended in the mean time and adaptations are mainly made to push sales.

with the endpoint being the bottom of the abyss (two layers? or more down) there's no way they do a satisfying original ending

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
On consideration, I find it really weird that the series goes to the effort of characterising all her orphan friends and secret orphan protector (even her uncle...) when seemingly they are now irrelevant and inaccessible. I'm not really sure there can be a satisfying narrative that results in her going back up the abyss having reached the bottom and being happy with her pals except as a post scriptum. Kind of curious to see what role they play, if any, as it progresses. Flashback and cutaway scenes only?

Yeah based solely on the OP and first episode I thought they were going to be on the surface much longer

There's a natural end-point coming up, and the final episode will be a one-hour special to take advantage of it. Kind of like how the final battle against the Female Titan was a natural end-point in AOT - the adventure continues, but we've had a major climax to see our heroes off.

There's not enough manga material for a second season, although they might green-light one for a year or so down the line if this anime is a success.

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I think I know which end point you're referring to and I agree it would be an .. okay .. point to leave the series until they maybe get a greenlight.

I'd love if they committed to more seasons but waiting until they see how successful this is is probably the smart thing to do. Hopefully this doesn't die on Amazon outside of Japan.

Oh, they are characterised for a reason, but if you think there is gonna be a conventional happy ending for them then you must be watching a different show.
