If I've read the Made in Abyss manga...
should I watch the anime or the films?

Anime films are awful for discussion on Dab Forums so I recommend watching mia tv series and forget about the film.

Well I'm not too interested in discussing the series online (especially given some of the manga content..)
but I guess what I'm wondering is:
are the films better quality than the anime?
can't understand why they'd even exist otherwise

Anime films require people to pay up like 9,7$ to view in a theater while the tv show is ad supported.
Movies enable making more money.

The first 2 films are the same as the series, the episodes are just put together.
I kind of still recommend watching the anime in episodes.

I watched it for free

The films have a finnish fansub on nyaa so they're convenient if you want children or the grandma who doesn't speak english to see the show. They're also shorter which is a plus for social viewing.

A common complaint of MiA is that people are confused on what exactly is going on. That's because the information density is so ridiculous and it's easy to miss crucial details by missing even a single line of dialogue.
Watching 3 movies would probably only barely give you an idea of what's really going on.

The manga is dense in information but most of it is irrelevant to the plot.
Magic hole, whistles mom, zombie, shotabot, anthropomorphic rabbit girl going on an adventure to make friends, thats all you really need.

yeah you see that's where I disagree
the amount and frequency of why's in MiA threads is no joke

Having aoty in extremely competitive year of 2017 boosted the series somewhat.

>social viewing
>MiA
Okay I'm late to the party here. With no foreknowledge or expectations I read the manga in the last two days on a whim (despite being out of the anime/manga game for years), it's all I've been able to think about since...
But I would never talk about this shit with people I know.

Manga hit a sweetspot of information for me. Great wordbuilding, some cryptic dialogue; but I felt like it was at a perfect point to understand most of what I was meant to while reading.
Never hit me over the head with wordswordswords pages of exposition, it was nicely spread out through the art.

>I would never talk about this shit with people I know
Why? I've sat down with a couple a friends twice now and it's been a pretty alright viewing experience.
Although that being said it wasn't quite the same as viewing it alone.

It's been sometime since I've read through the series and been reading as it releases since prushka showed up. The ideia just hit me, why don't they search for artifacts or stuff like that in the 6th layer?
It must be stuffed with shit since no one really wente there compared to the other layers where the still keep finding stuff. Imagine them just finding something like a Gangway or Far Caress.

Do you have the necessary value to do that? You literally going to die if you go outside of ancap village anyway

I guess the anime cut out the nudity and fetishbait stuff.
Although it didn't bother me besides thinking "well, can't tell my friends about this new manga I'm reading" due to the mangaka adding topless scenes for the protagonist at regular intervals.

Why bother with pretense? Just go buy lube and read the Range Murata artbooks.

I don't get that mentality. Most of the people I know already know I like reading fucked shit, why hide it instead of just sharing it when it's good?
The 5 people that I have recommended the manga all loved it despite not being into loli, piss or gore. I don't think most of them even though of it as being fetishbait.

The least interesting feature of of mia is that it has someones fetish material in it.
The most interesting feature is that it uses realistic nudity, bodily fluids and body mutilation to immerse the reader into a desperate scenario.

Artstyle-wise the anime and moves are a downgrade, unless there are some parts of the story that you'd like to see more clearly in the form of animation. Content-wise, there's some info missing, cut scenes and notes about relics and such. They're still worth a watch but inferior to the manga. Really the biggest selling point is the OST which is legitimately spectacular, and I don't say that lightly.

The girls have new music and 2 brand new scenes that weren't present in the ma ga and original show. I tell you the movies are worth it for only those scenes and new music alone

Yea that's also more or less my view of it.

Watch the TV series and then the third movie which continues where the TV series end.

what scenes?
