Like, really? No one was available to take her in? No next of kin, not even some government or organization that wants to study her, nothing? Lyza knew the people there, Leader even learned from her.

I mean, they put her in the training-from-infancy-to-become-a-cave-raider orphanage. Presumably they could have just left her with her aunt if they didn't give a gently caress.

I didn't think it was a last-resort orphanage, I think she was put there on purpose. Her mother was a diver & national hero and presumably planned to return some day. She was probably using it more like a daycare.

I mean, sounds like artefacts make up a large percentage of the city's economy, so really they're just investing in the future. Plus, maybe the rest of her family were also Raiders and the attrition rate seems pretty high...

 Riko is good at riceballs    I really like these and I'm looking forward to someone turning into a mossy rock Command Ant posted:Listening to how Rico examined Reg when he was still asleep and his reactions to it were hilarious. From the way she was described, she's very much her mother's daughter.  The robot sounds are really goodOh oh, that scene where she's watching the birds was good too Knorth fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Jul 17, 2017 |

Wasn't it mentioned in the first episode that some of the orphans there have parents who were cave raiders? Or is it just the MC? Also, I assume if there were any sort of next of kin, she'd be with them.

Ok I gave this an episode because there's poo poo all this season and it was pretty well made. I was going to avoid this cus I heard it was just doing the shtick of introducing a bunch of cutesy kids then swerving into maximum EDGE for shock value. So before I get invested, on a scale of 1 to Narutaru, how much EDGE does this swerve?

As somebody who has read all of Narutaru, I can safely inform you this doesn't get half as EDGE as Narutaru. I wouldn't even really describe Made in Abyss as EDGEY, but rather just a weird case combining cutesy character designs with horror elements, which causes some people's brains to break, like the games posters who think Shantae is for pedophiles because it has a cartoony artstyle and there's sexy characters in it.

It's been slow if they want to get to the bottom in one season. It'd be like an episode a cave level then a finale. Right now feels like they're pacing for two seasons.

Today's episode wrapped up volume 1. It will probably end with volume 5, chapter 38, unless they go for an original ending. Chapter 42 was only released this week and it's a monthly series. Pavlov posted:It's been slow if they want to get to the bottom in one season. It'd be like an episode a cave level then a finale. Right now feels like they're pacing for two seasons. The manga is still running and they haven't reached the end yet. 3 episodes per layer on average would be closer. Nitrousoxide posted:I assume mail will only be able to go one way? They can send balloons up, but if you want to send a message down, somebody has to deliver it to make sure it arrives. The Abyss is pretty large and irregular. Even the balloons aren't guaranteed to make it.

From the way he told Reg to look after her, it's clear that Leader realized that Rico was going to follow her mother the second that letter and whistle were brought out of the Abyss. That was a really sentimental scene... all things considered. I'm still loving the noise Reg's arms make when the reels them back in.

So how many 10 year olds do you guys think die a year in that hole repelling solo down sheer cliffs? Or do you think they just don't count them

Pavlov posted:So how many 10 year olds do you guys think die a year in that hole repelling solo down sheer cliffs? Novices are only allowed down to 450m, which has easy terrain and a low chance of encountering monsters from further down. They are additionally given a depth limit for each mission based on their performance and skills. They also have rescue parties to search for missing delvers in the first layer. I've noticed people saying how hosed up that orphanage is, but the whole city is built around exploring the Abyss. They actually prepare them pretty well and the first layer isn't much different from the alpine meadows, with the biggest risk getting sick climbing back out. The curse is setting in after just a few meters of ascending, so if you can't handle walking back up, you won't handle rock climbing anyway. This isn't coal mining and otherwise fitting to the setting, besides the off-putting disciplinary actions. Even the lower-grade artifacts are worth a lot, so they don't have to force the kids to go deeper to find more precious ones. Two things I also noticed typing this up: 1. Where are the older kids? Are they all on a mission or do they live independently once they get their blue whistle? 2. How are there still artifacts in the upper layers 1800 years after the discovery of the Abyss?

So both adults who've been involved in this have given their blessing for the 10 year old to descend into the Pit of No Return. You'd think they'd at least tell her to wait for puberty.

I was hoping a little bit more would happen in the latest episode, but at least they got to the next layer. I'm finding it hard to resist reading the manga at this point. Hopefully next ep picks up a bit.
