Why I remember that series like it aired yesterday! It left a great impression on me!

I'm sure that reply was sarcastic, but what show was that?

Well nine out of ten dentists did recommended it,in their online reviews of course.
Again though,and on topic,Made in Abyss is a damn good, faithful, adaptation of the source material.
Viewers & readers alike were treated to seeing the first twenty-four chapters come to life.

This show was preeeety decent. It had it's strong and weak points, like, OST was amazing and so were backgrounds, but pacing was off and Ozen arc was lacking. I'd strongly recommend to read manga first.
Now I hope we will see bonbon's wonderful escapades properly animated someday.
Can't wait for even more fanmade content, based on the series.

Why? Just because you're easily brought by emotion baiting of two characters who only appeared a few episodes ago doesn't mean everyone else is. In fact two years ago another reviewer praised a show for doing the exact same thing only it was stretched out for 12 episodes long story short nobody even remembers the show anymore probably because they realize how much they butchered the source of material or it didn't leave a lasting impression outside the weak season it premiered on. Made in the Abyss will wind up being the same. |
That's funny, it seems like said anime left quite an impression on you to not forget it and be able to bring it up as such a specific example. Pray tell, what is this anime you speak of without the vague description so we can judge for ourselves if your given example holds merit?

That was really good, I hope they have a second season, and third if need be.

Thanks for proving my point.

I have to admit, I initially dismissed it because of the art style -- but after seeing so much praise for Made in Abyss and being disappointed in everything else I've seen this season, I sat down and gave it a try, and I ended up making it all the way through MiA in two days. It's been a long time since I've been able to marathon a show like that; usually when I try (most recently with My Hero Academia) I end up falling asleep after two or three episodes.
It didn't feel slow at all to me, but maybe that was because I was watching them in rapid succession; it might have been worse if I was watching it weekly. In fact, there came a point where I thought to myself, "Well, they're on the fourth layer now, maybe they'll actually make it down to the bottom by the end of the show," and then I checked and was shocked to realize I was already on episode 10.
I'm pretty torn between whether I should hold out hope for a season 2 or go read the manga, especially if it turns out that the manga isn't quite as good as the anime...

If you're trying to get people to guess a show you're thinking of, "There was this show two years ago that a reviewer praised but I thought did a bad job of adapting the source material" is not exactly much of a clue to go on.

The manga isn't bad, by any means, but it has a rough-hewn art style that some people aren't fond of, especially compared to the lush visuals of the show. Plus, the child nudity is cranked up to eleven, and what was somewhat subtextual in the anime becomes full blown fetishization in printed form.
Plus, the manga doesn't have Kevin Pekin's score to back up the visuals, and I'm on record for championing MiA's OST as one of the all time great anime soundtracks.

You guys are making this too easy and no I wasn't the only person who complained about how it handled the source of material. Try again.

Yeah that's why its sequel is the second most anticipated show of this season right?
And how the hell did BBB did the exact same exploitation that MiA did to attract brown-nosers?

I'm sure your description applies to only 1 show in the whole of anime.

2 years ago in the exact same season
People made a big deal out of it and it was the only show that season people talked about
Nobody talks about it anymore
This is so difficult.

Wow, that's a nice comeback. I'll just waste all my time looking for a series that a reviewer praised, but was adapted poorly. I'm sure there's just a handful that fit that description. Again, give a specific example and maybe you can make your point, otherwise tootles.
