Made in Abyss ruined anime for me :(
I just have to get this out of my chest. I caught up on MiA around 14 days ago, and now I can't find any series as good as it. Everything I find pales in comparison. I've lost almost all will to watch/read other anime/manga series. Well, except for One Piece, but that's only because I'm - trough no fault of my own - down bad for a weird side character, literally nothing else matters about it :(
I am struggling with depression taking away all joy in my life, well except for Made in Abyss for some reason. I used to like so many anime/manga series, now it's only MiA because of how good it is. Despite how tragic and dark it is, it gives me more joy than any fluffy slice of life ever could.
Even though the series has yet to end, I am left with a feeling of emptiness and hunger for more, and I can't find it because MiA is greater than every other series I've come across. The fact that it is almost universally critically aclaimed despite you know what I mean is a sign of just how great of a storyteller Tsukushi is. If anime and manga were as mainstream as novals, he would be famous pretty much everywhere. I hope that he won't end up as yet another example of extremely poor health in a genius artist...
