    That Fullmetal Alchemist episode is perhaps the most traumatic piece of anime I’ve watched to date, not counting Grave of the Fireflies of course. I haven’t watched Brotherhood, but is it in there as well?

        The original anime diverges from the manga about 2/3 in.

        The later FMA: Brotherhood doesn’5, but it’s quite condensed in the early parts (where the two overlap).

        Both are very good.

      I find Made in Abyss to be peak fucked up traumatic, myself. Just like the entire thing.

      Mostly because it’s young children.

      It is, however, one of my favorite series. It’s beautiful, with mostly bright happy colors, and a true sense of awe, which makes it that much more fucked up.

        Sweetheart, Brotherhood is the original. The one that released first is a fanfic that went too far (both figuratively and story-wise).

      the most traumatic bit of anime for me was the animatrix where the human pilot got ripped out of his mech and carefully torn to pieces by a machine while he’s screaming in terror for his mom to save him.

      that was traumatizing shit to watch as a kid.

        Maybe my brain was already too cooked from seeing awful stuff on the internet at the point where I watched the Animatrix, even though that’s hard to believe, I was still in my 20s back then, but I’ve totally forgotten that scene. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch, I have rewatched The Matrix a few times this year already after all.

      Brotherhood follows the original manga and picks up after this story, so you don’t see it in Brotherhood, but it happened.

    Watching this right now with my kids and I fucking skipped that episode. It’s somehow more disturbing than their inside-out mother.
