/a/ - Animu & Mango

The swag sage was cool.

Yaaaaaaay~

What if thats her mom?

>>779856

The hair does look similar to her mother's.

It probably is her.

>>779871

For a minute I thought Nanachi got turned into rabbit stew.

>>779871

Not if she doesn't recognise her and she doesnt have any memory. This is tagedy porn after all.

>>779849

Well they did say that the village gave you what you desired the most, like how Nanachi found her treasure again. So likely a copy or illusion of her desire.

>its her

>the entire village is her body

>that toilet licking her butt clean...

>>779869

I think I would be a fake copy of her mother if you can say that cave is part of the town. After all its a town made for satisfying all your desires leaving you empty without a real pourpuse, just like what happened to the fluffy one, that got captured by that sage

>>779856

kinda looks like her, but I don't think it is

https://mega.nz/#F!gqBA3LSR!9Wt75xJw9PAXlxCbqwZvfQ

>>779906

This. I'm pretty sure the town is making apparitions of what they want to get them to stay and become narehates

>>779952

I need to see riko be molested by the tentacled townsfolk.

>>779953

>I need to see riko be molested by the tentacled townsfolk.

Pls no Riko needs some love at this point at most we need to see the bio toilet enjoying her wastes some more

>>779955

I meant as a doujin, the actual manga can do what it needs.

>>779957

>doujin

I want more robo adventures.

>>779964

Isn't Faputa the head honcho?

>>779967

She was the queen of value, so maybe she's the daughter of slime woman, and thus is the most valuable thing?

>>779992

>Yfw they pull a Twin Peaks and end it abruptly in the most unsatisfying way because they couldn't deal with the pressure of success.

>>779997

I mean, it would be better than completely shitting the bed.

>>779999

Sometimes i still cringe about Oh Greats! alcoholic ass turning Air Gear into a finale fighting Kars on an aircraft carrier as he rants about the 99%

>>779997

Or they just pull a One Piece and never end it. :^)

>>780003

>Tfw you write a manga where the twist reveal is the treasure being the journey and the friends made on the way but everyone figures it out in the first volume and you wing it for royalty pay checks instead

>>780003

>they just keep adding layers or new abysses show up around the world

>>780003

You have to go back.

>>780036

We really don't honestly. All the chapter said about reg is He has a creator, and was likely made long ago relative to surface time. We still don't know who, why, where, or what beyond "is a version of big guy"

Its probably having a hard time making a fake of Lyza considering Riko doesnt remember her face but still values her all the same.

>>779906

>>779992

>/a/ memeing the Nanachi was dead because she was next to the Mitty in 43

>tell them that they were retarded, that ANCAP village was all about offering what they valued the most

>told them Lyza would show up next Chapter

>they said I was retarded

>mfw I called it

>>780088

I recall agreeing with you in that other thread. It seemed like the logical thing to assume

>>780046

It's relatively recent to the big guy on the 6th layer, but time moves slower there so it probably happened a long time ago to people on the surface.

>Layer 6 is the Bell Tower layer

>Unheard Bell was found on Layer 4

>Years later, the Blaze Reap was found on Layer 4

>3 Sages

>One sage is obviously a White Whistle, probably Srajo based on the mask and "mysteriousness", but he's a big guy so it could be Wakuna instead

>Sages "created" Narahate, Wakuna is said to have "invaded" Layer 6, Srajo also took his last dive but he could be much deeper

>If all 3 sages are White Whistles, that means that Lyza is still on this layer. Personally I think only one sage is a White Whistle (Wakuna)

>Time passes really slowly in the Abyss, the Unheard Bell also stops time but it was taken to the surface years ago

What do you guys think, is the princess Lyza somehow? Is she deeper? Is Sjaro in layer 7 and Lyza in Layer 8?

>>780113

Lyza's note said the bottom of the abyss, so until they are at absolute bottom, I don't expect her to be found. And the idea of a white whistle becoming a narehate seems odd to me, I guess because a white whistle would typically never ascend and has no desire to stop and make the village, just to keep going further. Bondrewd and ozen might prove me wrong however but they seem more like exceptions, Ozen having stopped because she now has maruruk under her wing and Bondrewd because it's the perfect place for his experiments.

Robots. Pretty sure the abyss is, or once was, a spaceship.

>>780119

What part of it could possibly be a spaceship? It's just a hole made of soil.

>>780117

That note wasn't from Lyza. Unless she had someone else write it, as Ozen said it wasn't the right hand writing. Maybe it was written by Reg to tell himself to go back down.

>>780122

Well the note itself is an artifact, so maybe it just writes itself what you tell it? Cause I can't imagine who it would be from other than lyza. Unless of course lyza was the one who received it in the first place and that's why she made her final descent.

>>780117

>>780122

Narahate Princess is yandrere for Reg and pretended to by Lyza to lure him back.

She was upset that he brought friends.

>>780125

I like this one.

It seems the Narehate language has a lot of ambiguities.

>>780157

You can't trust that beak.

>>780164

He's clearly a doctor and knows what he's doing. Riko's humors seem to be quite unbalanced.

>>780157

I have a hard boner for plage doctors aesthetics.

I want to see what special artifacts does he use, the best dad had really interesting ones that I loved.

God, Riko is such a dumbass. Lost her friends and protectors, barely knows her way around this place, hears about some extremely dangerous mystery hole and just has to DROP EVERYTHING AND INVESTIGATE.

I'm surprised nobody has talked about how words can mean different things depending on context. The word for "village" also meaning "cradle" makes sense given the warning about it being "a closed cradle", but it can also mean "mother". So the village attempts to mother everyone. Obviously Nanachi is an orphan who presumably never knew her mother, but Mitty before she was alive was definitely a bit of a mother-figure to her. Of course, the next thing that happens is that Riko finds some kind of apparition of her mother. One wonders, who is Reg going to find? Or is that giant robot that's says he's one of Reg's kind filling that role? All that could be an illusion, too.

I still get a kick out of ANCAP Village. I'll be a bit dissapointed if someone doesn't start doing ancap memes but MiA-themed.

>>780470

>>780482

>ancap way of life makes everyone be a little bit of a merchant

>words in the narehate language change their meaning given their context just like hebrew

>Riko, Nanachi and Reg descended into Israel

>>780482

I can try my hand at a narehate smiley.

>>780157

>Who is going to be the worst?

Lyza, obviously. She will be the true final boss, and Riko is going to have to kill her.

>>780470

Main characters that completely lack the ability to be careful piss me off. How utterly retarded would you have to be to not only run off to explore some dangerous place (essentially) alone, but to also do it while your companions are lost in a dangerous village that none of you understand? If she had any sort of prioritizing ability her first focus should be to find the other two. Especially so since both of her companions are capable of protecting her, and one of them is her fucking bodyguard. Making it harder for your bodyguard to find you in a dangerous place is generally not a good idea.

It's possible that the language part is only to show that everything about the place is strange and not human. We have plenty of words that mean very different things depending on context too, besides.

>>780513

Remember the grown-up looking version of Reg that has appeared in Reg's memories and Lyza's journal? I've been wondering if he is her Special-Grade Relic.

Most interestingly is that Reg said it felt like somebody else was controlling him and re-teaching him to use his body during Bestdad fight, the frame of which is one with BigReg and Lyza in the background. Riko/Reg half-siblings confirmed?

>>780658

It sounded like he was connected to other robots concioussness or something.

>>780505

I guess Sjaro is up next after all, he has the biggest nose and the most exposition set up.

Wanuka might be deeper since he didn't even need Bondrode's help, but I thought for sure that he set up a new order in layer 6.

If the tavern sage is a whistle, it's probably Wakuna since Sjaro wouldn't need a new mask if he became a Narehate.

>>780601

It could be related to the circumstances of her birth in the Abyss, wanting to go deeper and all that.

>>780601

It is already established that Riko is not human and by the power that gave her life she is bound to the abyss in a deeper(no pun intended) manner than the rest of the delvers. also manga protags tend to do stupid shit all the time and then rationalise their actions in order to progress the story

>>780745

Riko is human, just brought back to life. And didn't she go into the hole in hopes of finding reg and nanachi?

>>780868

From the flashbacks we learn that even as a baby Riko was drawn to the abyss, that she would start crawling towards it. She was Made in Abyss® and that's where she will return to.

>>781032

They are up already

Also I gotta say, for a manga about all sorts of fucked up shit happening, most of the narehates and ancaps are really fucking cute for being creatures deformed by the abyss.

>>781043

Whatever the abyss is, it has good taste. What's up with Maaa's ass cheeks, though? They sag so much.

>>781048

His gains got ancap'd.

>>781048

I think he's just got a really low ass.

>>781048

Cause the author is a freaky pervert.

>>780658

How do you lads think Reg was called Reg by Faaptuaa?

Remember that the name came from Riko's dog whom she found many years after her mother left. There should have been no way for Reg to have known that name at the time.

There is no way that Reg met Fapptuaa in the body of another robot or something while he was unconsciously fighting Bonedrood or whatever.

Do you think that time might not only slow down but start moving in the opposite direction? Remember that every 1000 years, there is a mass funeral of thousands of people, the curse of the abyss casts a plague on the surface village or whatever. Reg saw a ton a few chapters ago.

Remember too that Nanachi was the first-known creature of her type, but I guarantee you that the nigger Nanachi has been princess for longer than Nanachi has been alive. How did she come to be before Nanachi?

I think the solution in the timeline issues lie in the differences in the passage of time in the layers.

>>780905

>She was Made in Abyss®

All 3 of the Main Cast were.

>>781226

>I think the solution in the timeline issues lie in the differences in the passage of time in the layers.

I think the solution is that the writer is lazy and just slapped that shit together without putting much thought into whether it makes sense or not because he was too busy jerking off to his favourite piss/shit pedo hentai comic.

>>781226

Uhh, Sheniqua has like 4 arms and she's not even white so its still accurate to say that Nanachi was the first 'person' to become that way.

Reg's name probably came from that Leader guy, he talks to Ozen all the time.

>>781226

I think Faputa read Reg's mind, like reading the force field of the abyss, and picked out that name to fuck with him by claiming to know him. A lot of what's going on in the village is about manipulating people into staying there. I still think this whole thing with Reg is a massive lie, and he's the only one of his kind.

>>781226

The name could just be entirely coincidental, wouldn't miff me much if it was. What >>781242 said makes a lot of sense though.

>>781242

The picture of robots in Lyzas journal had different gadgets according to them when they read it.

Also, Reg's experience during his fight with Bones proves he's not the only type of that robot.

>>781246

I don't think the big robot would imply his not meeting Nig Princess to be unusual if it weren't true because robots can't lie.

>>781453

>to the same degree nanachi does by natural means.

But they all look like abominations.

>>781236

>Addressing mutant subhumans as persons

Despite her size Riko has pretty big heart.

>>781453

This is true. Bonedad managed to make Nanachi a functioning narehate by "trading" material from Mitty to form Nanachi's fluffiness. It was just a mechanized and forced function of the "balancing" of value that goes on in the village. Only, because the force field doesn't exist there, nobody ever needs to be hit by the curse, so they don't end up mutated blobs.

Also, it's a Ponzi Scheme. "Lyza" down there is greedily amassing a wealth of biological slop by farming a small amount of money from every "transaction". The members of the village need to bring in new people all the time in order to keep the supply up of new material to be "traded" (new "value"), because each trade loses some of the total to the creature in the pit. They're literally trading in an imaginary currency that only exists because people believe it does; it's the abyss version of bitcoin.

>>781493

That's because becoming a true narehate, through whatever process, causes a person to assume the form that reflects whatever is in their heart. It's basically the same as entering the Dark World in LoZ:Link to The Past. Either this is some commentary on the malice of human hearts, or more likely a references to the FETISHES in human hearts, that they all come out looking extremely fucking weird.

>>781515

>or more likely a references to the FETISHES in human hearts

The Narehate whose value is having things inserted in his holes comes to mind.

>>781540

or the one who likes getting stepped on.

>>781545

or the toilet.

>>781515

>"trading" material from Mitty to form Nanachi's fluffiness.

He said that he focused the "direction of the curse" so that Mitty received twice the curse. The cartridges were the same but more portable.

>it's the abyss version of bitcoin

All currency, in fact all material, is like that you dumb brainlet. Your whole post is so dumb.

>FETISHES

Was Mitty and the other girls fetish to become masochistic blobs?

They're still down there by the way, Nanachi only cared to kill Mitty though.

The people in the village have probably been mutated slowly over hundreds of years or more (as opposed to all at once like blobs). It would also explain the insanity of some of them and also their cobbled-together pidgin speak since they hail from countries all over.

>>781611

> their cobbled-together pidgin speak since they hail from countries all over.

Doesn't orth have exclusive rights to the abyss?

>>781637

Legally, yes. But they lack a regulatory body to enforce that. Hence the trouble they have with 'foreign cave raiders'.

>>781823

Maybe that's just their souls given an abyss body or some shit.

>>781595

Is there anyone else who would absolutely love having a toilet like that? Riko said it was nice that it "wiped so much" but you know damn well that tongue-like protrusion went about six inches deep in her butt.

>>781829

This makes sense. Otherwise, literally everyone in the village would have to be a former white whistle, and even if we go back a thousand years, that seems very unlikely.

>>781833

>Otherwise, literally everyone in the village would have to be a former white whistl

Not necessarily. They would just had to have gotten there before bondrewd made that elevator.

>>781839

The ruins, including the elevator, were there before Bondrewd built Idofront on top of them.

>>781839

>>Otherwise, literally everyone in the village would have to be a former white whistl

I think of them, as being the original inhabitants of the sunken city.

>>781874

If this is so, then it begs the question: who taught (some of) them to speak the language of Orth?

>>781878

It would only take one or two white whistles to.

>>781881

Now I want a doujin of Ozen and Bondrewd running an abyssal sunday school.

>>781038

Those synonyms make sense in a way they're related to each other.

Jyakopufu = ask, special, stimulation. What else would a perverse narehate ask?

Iruburu = Village, cradle, mother. Big robot already called the village a closed cradle. I assume mother is the pit lady.

>>781904

>Jyakopufu jyakopufu jyakopufu

This must be the Iruburu equivalent to requesting sucky sucky five dolla.

>>781823

Foreigners wiped out most of Lyza's party near layer 5 one time.

>>781823

Different entry points and settlements around the rim?

>>781885

Ozen already does do that. Marulk is the only student. Dressing like a girl is the only class. Getting anything other than 100% means Detention. And Detention is Naked Hanging: one half-hour for every percentage point you were under 100. Have you ever scored a D+ and then known what it's like to shit on your own ankles? Marulk has.

>>781958

>pufu

>special stimulation

Yes, he plays violin music and cries a lot.

>>781958

>>781904

>>782197

Puff is also German slang for brothel.

>>780745

Riko obtained Mitty's soul, thus granting her human status. Thought this was pretty well established.

>>782615

What, how, when? If you're thinking about the scene that happened while Riko was unconscious where Mitty stopped crying and went away. That was because Reg blasted Mitty.

Are there more than one Abyss in the world?

Seems a bit wierd that a highly developed civilization like the one down in the abyss would stay put and not spread out. And as it was established if you go horizontal away from the abyss the miasma disappeared. So why not just drill horizontal away from the abyss and the up?

>>782730

i don't think anyone but Riko, Reg and Nanachi know about that maybe bonerdrew as he became a narehate for a short amount of time but neither of them are interested in going back up.

So unless piss loli decides to make another record then all those discoveries will be lost.

>>782730

Orth's abyss is the one and only.

>>782754

>that spoiler

When did that happen?

>>782730

The abyss might be surrounded by """impenetrable""" rock, lava or water.

>>782805

Actually we can be pretty sure that you can dig through the walls of the abyss, because it is assumed the roots of the seeker camp tree go to the ocean. However neither orth nor any other country it seems has the technology to dive deep enough in the ocean nor to drill from either side of the abyss.

>>782808

Considering how there is a time distortion in the abyss, there might as well be a spacial one as well, and you can go a thousand miles horizontally in the abyss, but only went a mile in the real world or something like that.

>>782754

>So unless piss loli decides to make another record then all those discoveries will be lost.

Like tears in rain

>>782805

In the bondrewd fight with reg, as his cartridge loses effect he becomes more warped by the abyss.

>>782826

I thought the cartridge worked exactly as intended, it's whole goal was to be a person that was devoted to him so that it would willingly take the curse of the abyss allowing him to travel from the 6th layer to the 5th without dying or getting too narehated or did I misunderstand the point of that completely?

>>782826

>as his cartridge loses effect he becomes more warped by the abyss

Is that what he was aiming for? As far as I can tell, they are the latest tech of the research that caused Nananchi's transformation. He's using them to suck up all the bad curse effects while keeping the useful transformations.I assume that's how he got his lizard body in the first place.

>>782839

No you have that down, but the cartridges can only take so much.

>>782840

His lizard tail is actually a relic. As far as I know the cartridges were meant to entirely nullify the effects of the curse, not just the bad ones.

>>782870

No, he's doing to himself what he proved in concept with Nanachi and Mitty. The cartridges are small, portable version of the elevator assembly. The original point was just to be able to return from the 6th layer, but the side effect is that you get the 'blessing' instead of the curse.

>>780088

>ANCAP village

Giggled.

>>782805

Well, here's the thing. The deeper you go underground, the hotter it gets because you're closer to the molten mantle and there is more rock above to insulate from heat radiation. At least, if you're not in a magical abyss where there's a downdraft via some energy field. Several attempts here on Earth to drill to depths over 10,000 meters in continental crust have encountered temperatures in excess of 500F.

For reference, Idofront is at 13,000 meters, and 500F is what you get if you turn your home oven up as high as it will go. So even if they COULD drill into the rock, there is no way they could survive.

>>783257

>using meter and degree burger

You're a silly cunt.

>>783362

>contribute nothing but complains about something that doesn't matter at all

And you're a useless piece of shit that should be taken out back and thrown in the garbage.

>>783257

Interesting note that keeps coming to mind and yet I never see anyone point out: There is no downdraft. The forcefield is pulling light, nutrients, and possibly souls and time downwards, but there's a constant updraft everywhere we see wind. Maybe the forcefield only works on energy and solids, causing the air in the bottom to displace upwards as its space is taken up by what the field wants.

>>783385

Well, there has to be something that's equalizing the air flow. Otherwise the atmospheric pressure down at Idofront would be close to 4 fucking times that of sea level. Down at the mapped bottom of the Abyss, 20,000m, it would be over 7atm. From what I can find by comparing pressure encountered by sea divers and from experiments in hyperbaric chambers, around 4atm of pressure is when you start getting nitrogen narcosis. This is thought to be caused by the gas being forced into nerve channels, producing effects similar to being intoxicated, possibly related to how inhalation anesthetics function (although, frighteningly, scientists have NO IDEA why the fuck anesthetic works, or even what it DOES to the brain; they can't even be sure whether it produces true unconsciousness, or just prevents recollection of memory of the event). This is why deep divers have to use a special blend of air composed of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium.

At 7atm you'd get hallucinations and hysteria. Nitrogen narcosis in general is a laundry-list of symptoms that read a bit like the Curse in places (except less "sick" and more "blazed out of your mind"), ending with loss of consciousness and death at over 10atm.

>>783373

Anon please, you're scaring the little girls.

>>784564

They never really killed Bonedaddy. They destroyed one of his bodies.. actually a quite a few of his bodies, but the true Bonedaddy is still inside Zoaholic being effectively immortal as long as he has followers to mindjack.

>>784564

Because Ozen likes girls.

>>784679

Ozen looked for a body but found none, I'm sure she has some doubts about lyza's status. Also I guess she just took the cutest/most capable red whistle to be her apprentice and then just dressed him up from there.

>>784564

>i will never understand why Ozen makes him dress like a girl

Probably nothing more because that she thinks it's funny. When you're an autistic White Whistle with the strength of entire cities' worth of men, you can do things like that.

>>784681

Yeah, everyone here probably already agrees, but there's no way a determined white whistle wouldn't be able to find Lyzas corpse.

>>784721

canned heat?

>>784721

Hmm.. She Blinded Me With Science seems too obvious. You reposted in the wrong neighborhood is usually the goto shitposting song.

>>784723

Canned heat is good, but so is Virtual Insanity if we're suggesting Jamiroquai songs.

>>784731

Virtual insanity is too slow, albeit great. Song needs to be as up tempo as bondrewd's dancing.

>>784674

>Because Ozen likes girls

No

>>784679

good points

>>784721

It's not like you have to use this song but I'd say it should be one by Daft Punk. Actually, having this song and the WEBM play at the same time fits quite nicely.

>>784902

How about technology?

>>784679

Going down to the sixth layer is pretty much death, so Ozen probably doesn't care at this point.

>>784907

Fine too but I think the beat of harder Better Faster fits better in this case. Also Technology is reserved for that one Lain AMV.

>downdraft

>>785127

Do you have any better ideas?

>>785320

I think his post was a commentary on Maruruk's expression.

A friend of mine I recommended the anime to loved it and liked that it "doesn't have a lot of tropes/fetish shit that other modern anime has". Should I have him read the manga (or the subtitles more closely) or just let him think it's a vanilla show with dark moments?

Or is the fetish material actually done in a more tasteful/normalfag-friendly manner than other anime which feature that kind of stuff? None of it really bothers me. I'm just surprised he thinks it's not there. I thought the fetish stuff stood out unless it's more subtle than I think and I'm just very observant.

>>785494

Honestly the fetish stuff isn't that bad. Yeah, Riko pisses herself a lot, but it's never without cause, and it's never glorified; it just is. The obsession with Reg's dick is just a running joke that isn't overplayed too much. The stringing-up-naked thing is weird, but because it's mentioned a lot more than shown (at least in the anime) it's not as bad.

Also, it seems your friend watches anime that DOES have a lot of fetish stuff, if that's a major complaint.

>>785494

Just wait until he gets to the living toilet. Also, the manga has actual Loli nudity whereas the anime doesn't.

>>785494

Basically what >>785502 said. All of the fetish stuff you could really pass off as just there to serve the plot, or as comedy. Even the loli tits make sense to a point.

>>785494

>A friend of mine I recommended the anime to loved it and liked that it "doesn't have a lot of tropes/fetish shit that other modern anime has".

He probably means the lack of pantyshots, busty 12 year olds, and hotsprings episodes. Your friend has shit taste and should be removed from your life.

>>785502

Everything done really does serve a purpose and makes sense when it happens. None of it felt out of place, and instead helped deepen the reader's immersion. It doesn't hide what happens, but it doesn't place undue emphasis on any particular part.

>>785633

>Just wait until he gets to the living toilet

I still REALLY want one of those.

And to be fair about the loli nudity, the way the anime does the convenient "locks of hair always fall right over the nipples to cover them" thing does more to take me out of the immersion, because it's a bit contrived. Not like I'm distracted by 12-year-old budding breasts in the first place.

>>785658

The end of episode 13 was kinda a hotsprings episode. Reg even got to experience his own "thermal expansion", right after he escorted Mitty to her personal hotsprings via the purifying fire of his own Sparagmos.

>>785709

Yeah, Reg seems to want to make something in Riko's Abyss.

>>785709

>Not like I'm distracted by 12-year-old budding breasts in the first place.

I hope that's sarcasm.

>>784679

Bondrewd didn't get his orphans from Orth.

>>784721

Others have mentioned Jamiroquai, but I think superfresh fit.

>>785866

If you want to be so into little girls that it's all you care about in an anime, be my guest. But that's awfully shallow and pathetic of you.

>>785888

Not like it would have mattered whether he did or not. According to Nat there's enough starving people hanging around the slum areas that nobody would have noticed or cared. If anything, Bondrewd wouldn't have cared; the only reason he would have chosen kids not from Orth was because he suspected it would introduce an unwanted variable to the experiments (ie: being born close to and living near the abyss). If a goddamn white whistle tells the Orth government: "I need 50 kids for experiments and they probably will not survive, but I may be able to discover how to dispel the effects of the sixth layer's curse." do you think they'd refuse?

>>784902

>>784721

I agree daft punk, but instead I'd suggest 'Get Lucky' and see how well that syncs

>If you want to be so into little girls that it's all you care about in an anime, be my guest. But that's awfully shallow and pathetic of you.

That is not at all what I said, you strawmanning shit. What you said implies that little loli tits are not desirable.

>>785966

I said they weren't DISTRACTING, which means they don't matter to the exclusion of everything else. And lolis should be flatchested, you retard pleb.

>>786048

Eh, riko is old enough to have some growth there.

>>786049

Sure, not saying it's not sensible for a 12-year-old, but that just means she's passing loli age and becoming a teenager.

>>786067

Lewd moths>lewd zombie potatos

>>782729

Nah, it's implied pretty heavily in the manga (a little less so in the anime) that Mitty realized Riko didn't have a soul, so when she was supposed to "die" she granted her soul to Riko.

>>785911

>Not Virtual Insanity

Wew, it's like you can't even into subtext.

>>786147

>>786171

Oh, forgot to mention that's what the implied "back then... I had the feeling that I would meet her again." came from.

>>786171

I remembered the quote as just that first part, when you die you return to the abyss, but you just stayed there. A kinda of giveth and taketh away type deal. And for her fetus thing part, I just saw that as her meeting mitty as she passed away, rather than taking her soul. I mean she straight up just walks away in the pic.

>>786171

Except it doesn't make sense that you can just transfer souls and yet not trade out the persona that comes with it. Unless you means souls as in Undertale which are a mere power source and not the seat of identity, and can indeed be swapped around like batteries, then Riko would have become like Mitty, or at least gotten some of her personality traits, or SOMETHING.

In any case, I just interpreted it that Mitty helped guide Riko out of her comatose state. The whole "soulless husk" thing was just Ozen trying to upset her; I don't think she really believed that.

>>786462

>>786461

>Excellent quality webms

>Even made sure to get the Nanachi version of the ED

Subarashii~! You are a good person, anon.

>>786462

>>786461

How'd you get them with no credits?

>>786466

They are from the blu-ray extras.

>>786468

Did the Blu Ray add nipples?

>>786661

Still seems like you sgould be able to see them, even with the hair. In the naked hanging and bath scene too.

>>786661

>nipples = porno

Tsk tsk tsk, you have so much to learn.

>>786461

>>786462

You're a prince amongst anons, anon.

>>787009

Could you tell me what functions you used to convert? I usually make webms with Webm4Retards but I have a couple anime that are weird encodes where if I try to use Webm4Retards the audio gets off sync.

Also a webm of that scene in the first episode with the english singing would be nice.

>>787009

This scene was anime only and it was brilliant.

>>787009

Can you do the ending of episode 1? Basically from when they start climbing the hill and the song starts?

>>787029

Is there any issues with using a lot of threads? I see you used 16. I only ask because last time I used webm4retards it wouldn't run with more than one thread. could have been my screw up for all I know, it was awhile ago.

I'm also curious to know how long it took to encode those three webms.

>>787160

I wouldn't be so sure. After all, we got those extra manga chapters showing everyone up top and the birthday sickness. It's likely they'll make an appearance again, even if just for the finale.

>>781030

This makes me want to sink into a fucking 4-coma.

>>787007

>No nipples, even in the blu-ray version

Truly, the spiritual successor to Spice and Wolf as the most Ryuutama-related animu.

>>787146

I don't have the first episode for conversion and it is unlikely that I will be doing anything more from this series until the second season hits. If you want you can get the blu-ray rips from nyaa and learning to make webms properly isn't that difficult. Still, I will keep posting any nice webms I make (there are a couple more in the anime OP thread from other series).

>>787149

Above 16 threads ffmpeg begins to complain about it, but other than that I haven't had any issues and it won't go anywhere near max cpu usage even with that (can do 2 or more webms at the same time with powerful cpus). You should really stop using webm4retards though, since the best results are from the latest updates in the libraries and I'm not sure how well does that program keep track of it.

As for the encoding time, it took 45 mins for the op/ed each and about 1 hour for the balloon scene and this is on a rather old cpu. Anything from the first gen i7 / high end bulldozer onwards should give you that time or less.

"Gee, Reg and Nanachi, I guess all three of us really were Made in Abyss."

>>787485

I want them to be strung up naked in abyss.

>>787429

>There was no reason for her to not to trust her.

That's not how it works. If a stranger tells you to go to a secluded place where no one else goes, you don't just trust them blindly. Especially not when you're in a fucked up place with insane people who already tried to kill your pet and whose language you don't understand. And she does this without even attempting to find or contact her companions, both of which are far more capable of protecting both themselves and her. Oh, and one of the shady locals that she just met follows her.

Imagine being dumped in some middle eastern or African village with two bodyguards. Do you follow the random bartender's instructions to some cave you don't know shit about, knowing that the other two will have no idea where you're going, or do you try to reunite with your two friends and bodyguards? If you choose the former, you completely lack any sense of self preservation.

>What was she supposed to do?

At least attempt to find the others. I don't recall the bartender saying anything about the cave deciding to just up and walk away, so she had no reason to be in as much of a hurry as she was. To be fair, the other two were also idiots for splitting up, but they at least are more capable than Riko, and they knew that Riko was at the inn. Before the retard wandered off, that is.

What makes you guys believe that Nanachi is a girl and not a guy?

>>789174

She wears extremely girly clothes as a human and since Bonedrewd didn't seem to have the some proclivities as Ozen (he seemed to have both boys and girls there), a trap seems unlikely.

So will Made In Abyss turn into the new Berserk one day or do anons think this will actually go anywhere/have an ending?

>>789174

Instinct.

>>789255

I get the impression that it's actually got an end goal in mind. We'll see the next two white whistles, Lyza and maybe an attempt to return to Orth but even if they do it'll probably end with Riko going back into the abyss once again unless the abyss collapses in on itself or something. If other organizations or delvers are introduced in place of the the two remaining white whistles then it may go down the road of forever and ever upping the ante, you could reasonably add foreign delvers to the mix however. Really it depends on whether Tsukushi thinks he can do without the MiAbux when it comes time to put the series to bed or not. MiA's all he's got under his belt and he may be too scared to start fresh.

>>789255

Depends on how long he tries to drag it out after the 7th layer. I'm gonna guess he has an ending in mind though. When your story has a clear destination to reach, even if the bottom of the abyss is vague, it's hard to drag it out longer. And don't try to bring out One Piece as a counter example, because the destination there is even more vague than the bottom of an eldrich horror hole and that's saying something.

>>789246

>both boys and girls

I never saw girls, which is why I thought Ozen made Marulk dress like one or Ozen has a fetish for shotas dressed as girls

>>787405

make it happen

>>789269

>I never saw girls

You never saw girls where? There's only a few members in Ozen's crew and they are all male but there's quite a few female adventurers and I guess the ratio of Bonedrewd kids was about 50/50.

>>789273

It's about 50/50 for Bonedrewd, it's like you passed through the pages mindlessly or something. Don't forget about Mitty as well.

>>789269

Ozen is a lesbian, but Marulk is a giant faggot apprentice as well. It's either one of those reasons or both.

>>789350

>How? Please show me

Why? Please convince me.

>oh shit one more my bad, also this is 4th layer

By you not capitalizing the first letter and posting crap 4chan memes, that was expected from you.

>NO

I'm just the messenger. It was pretty obvious that she was a loner who had a crush on Lyza. She even got heartbroken when Lyza found a shota husband.

>>789376

Bear in mind that this board is 18+, so go back to 4chan.

About Ozen, I don't even like the fact that she's lesbian, and neither that Marulk is a faggot trap.

Again, I'm just the messenger.

>Evidence

Really, I'm not spoonfeeding you, specially you. The things are there, if you don't know about them, shame on you, not me.

>>789378

>asking for evidence is spoonfeeding so I don't have to

Alright anon I'll do it your way.going back through them, there is only men being shown at layer 3 there is no indication of any women, the only person really is Ozen herself.

>b-but female adventures

the majority ever shown have male figures, not denying there isn't any but there is an overwhelming amount of males. Going to the 5th layer, only characters you see besides the main ones are Bone's guys who have a wide range of different body types. But none of them display anything feminine. Now you can argue that its because they are under a thick suit or armor, but then this would be a theory and wouldn't be proven otherwise without showing their faces or having one with a feminine figure (or having a character acknowledging one of em having a women's voice).

>but the children he brings down!

ZERO evidence there is any around during the events in the manga, seems the vast majority of children either get STUFFED into a container or experimented on (losing humanity or some other experiment never seen or mentioned).

>>789378

also

>I don't even like the fact that she's lesbian, and neither that Marulk is a faggot trap

<still acknowledging shes a lesbian

its almost like you completely ignored my last line

>>789387

>asking for evidence is spoonfeeding so I don't have to

Why are you even in this thread if you don't even know this much?

>b-but female adventures

When have I said anything about that?

>but the children he brings down!

>ZERO evidence

Again, why are you even here if you don't know about that?

>>789391

>its almost like you completely ignored my last line

Of course, you're retarded, your opinion means shit.

Again, I'm just the messenger, if you don't like something, don't vent on me, autistic faggot.

Also, read Rule 11. >>>/a/46728

Enough of giving attention to you, go be needy elsewhere.

Thank you both for reminding us all that this series was popular on /v/.

>>789414

Really? I have hardly seen anyone post about it besides an Ozen reaction image or two.

>>789410

>You didn't, just of things that would try to be used to counter my argument.

You don't have an argument and it wouldn't counter it. We're talking about children, not adventurers.

>>789414

I'm not from there though, but that faggot sure is, and sure is from 4chan as well.

>>789414

>EXTRA EXTRA! GOOD SERIES IS POPULAR WITH MORE PEOPLE AND NOT JUST ISOLATED HIPSTER ULTRA-WEEBS! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

>>789508

Nanachi is piratically begging to be love-raped when acting like that.

>>789849

I wouldn't be shocked if Lyza was similarly edgy

>>789861

Well, she was described as a ferocious drunk. Also, the names of all the white whistles are nothing if not hilarious fucking understatements. Bondrewd the "novel" is a goddamn soul-jumping eldritch abomination; Ozen the "immovable" is the physically strongest being on the planet and can lift ten-ton boulders. And what is Lyza? Oh yeah: the "ANNIHILATOR". Lord Almighty. You'd think she's the type, when she fights foreign powers, who does no less than slaughter them all, even the women and children if applicable. You'd think the Blaze Reap was just her idea of a sidearm, and she uses nuclear artillery as her usual weapons. Maybe she got that moniker after she used some ungoldy artifact to wipe out an ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Who knows? But we do know it'll be something insane, that makes "annihilate" seem tame.

>>789879

I mean sure she could wipe out and entire party of foreign raiders but generally people earn such a reputation when someone survives to tell the tale, dead men don't go tell their friends or leaders who killed everyone. As for the nickname possibly coming from her own country, it would make more sense if it was to intimidate other powers into staying away and not something really fitting her personality, given all her other accomplishments there is a slew of nickname possibilities other than "Annihilator", yet they probably wouldn't prevent a repeat of the incidents that lead to such events that earned the nickname.

I guess you could think of it like how Bondrewd wouldn't want his title being "Bondrewd the child mutilator" since it would have no real benefit, "Immovable" and "Annihilator" or even "Novel" have benefits in that they either intimidate potential foes foreign and domestic or paint a nice picture for the public despite the nature of the business.

Has anyone else noticed the similarities MiA has to STALKER? The Abyss is pretty much the Zone, full of deadly monsters and powerful artifacts as well as people from other nations also in search of treasure who will kill for it.

Question: i've heard of a certain "made in abyss nanachiposting/hell".

Can someone elaborate? Since >google doesn't give any result

>>789959

>I mean sure she could wipe out and entire party of foreign raiders but generally people earn such a reputation when someone survives to tell the tale, dead men don't go tell their friends or leaders who killed everyone.

Mind you, she also had a rep for destroying the hostile creatures of the abyss, so everyone who went on dives with her would be able to relay the tale of her killing whatever ferocious beast that attacked the crew.

Good on you, sculptor-anon.

Finally read through the manga. Haven't seen the anime. I was hesitant to get into it since I heard it was full of suffering, but despite that it's really good.
