After watching the first couple of episodes, my wife and I were considering having our 8-year-old watch it with us. Then I noticed the TV-MA rating.
Not looking for spoilers, but like, is the show gonna take a bit of a turn, eventually? There hasn’t been anything CLOSE to TV-M-worth thus far, in my mind.
There’s a little bit of horror at some points. Some of the really late stuff may be too much in intensity. I don’t think they will get that far, but some mildly horrific things may start to show up around the end of the season. I think a teenager may handle it well, but I don’t know about an eight year old since I don’t have children. There also may be some partial nudity. I don’t think they draw nipples if I remember right, but they’re are bear breasts at some point.
It’s looking like a full adaptation. The pace is 3 chapters per episode so far, which would nicely wrap up the whole manga into the 24 episodes.
I’m watching blind and I had no idea its this short. That’s cool, I love a good short story.
The manga took years, the publishing pace was one chapter a month, but holy shit they were bangers every time. Especially later on in the story, you’d think you’d forget to come back an read each chapter with a four week gap each time, but no.
I’m not entirely sure though, and I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere. Some chapters are really huge, so adapting three every episode might not work for the whole thing. We’ll see, but I’m hoping I’m right, and we are getting a full adaptation with beginning, middle, and end, each part twice as dense with quality.
