    The Chainsaw Man anime is pretty great. I was pleasantly surprised by it. The main character is a horny teenager (often played for laughs), but in a way that isn't gratuitous like most anime, is relevant to the plot, and it's clear the adults around him are fucking awful for taking advantage of him.

    Made in Abyss is "Yo what the fuck" territory. Something else I haven't seen mentioned here is the writer's shit fetish. Like literal shit. There's way too many scenes about fictional characters' poop.

      It's every bodily fluid in general. Just an endless parade of things oozing and leaking out of every part of the characters, which gets even more excessive in the second season when they reach the frenworld ancap blob monster village and then gets worse and worse and worse. I have a strong stomach and high tolerance for just repulsive and horrible content, and I actually felt ill trying to slog through to the end so that I could definitively say that Made in Abyss is the worst thing ever made. Like as much as people joke about the idea of "psychic damage" I took actual psychic damage from it and was out of sorts for days.
