So, i hear many people say that Made in abyss is messed up, horrific and bloody, but it’s actually not that bad.
It’s true that the story is relatively dark, and you have some weird moments, but it’s nothing that makes you say WTF.
What are your thoughts on it?
I’m currently on episode 12.

I’m currently on episode 12.

The author and show runners try to unsettle the viewer.

The deeper the characters go down in the abyss, the more unsettling, uncomfortable, weird, and horrifying it gets.

It’s intentional, and once you realize that it’s not so bad. But yes, it does get a bit worse as you go.

Don’t forget once you finish Season 1 to watch the Dawn of the Deep Soul Movie before continuing to Season 2.

Watch the movie. At first, I too thought "damn! this shi ain't fucked up at all" until I finished the movie and I. don't recommend you speed watching the movie because it will ruin the fucked up shit for which will not be fucked up anymore

Felt the same way. I watched the Season 1, The movie and the season 2. I wasn't disgusted or horrified, instead i was fucking amazed with its beauty. This anime was the most unexpected thing I've seen, I watched this anime for the horrors but instead i got an anime with really amazing plot, writing and characters.

Same here. The world building is truly amazing and the landscapes are just beautiful and colorful.

I agree. And no one even dies in this show. It's so boring and stupid. A bunch of kids who get lost and face danger every minute of their journey smh miraculously survive for so long in arguably one of the deadliest environments I've seen in fiction...

If only the characterization was as good as the world building.

Who exactly did you expect to die? You can’t kill off the main cast in the first season, and they’re the only ones who would be in danger of dying. I venture to say you haven’t watched season 2 tho cuz to say no one dies in this show is a lie. We’ll ignore the movie since it’s probably not enough death to tickle thy fancy.

We tend to associate children with innocence.
When child characters are subjected to those scenarios and this innocence is being stripped away, it feels more traumatic and hits us viewers much harder. It helps to convey, that the world this show takes place is very dark and cruel. That's the point.

I’m currently on episode 12.

I’d say overall the horrific parts are not that bad and add more intensity to the story as things unfold but without spoilers there is one part that almost made me vomit so it can get pretty gruesome but other than that it’s more disturbing seeing those things happen to children than the event itself.

The messed up stuff really only happens in the movie "Dawn of the Deep Soul".
Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic."

The main cast in this show always survives for plot convenience. The characters and their survival instincts are not believable for the setting they're thrown in.

Anime in general suffers heavily from plot conveniences, so a bit strange of a criticism to have for this one specifically tbh, but fair enough. There are explanations for their survivability and instincts, but you don’t like this show and that’s fine, so there doesn’t seem to be a point to explain it all. Just didn’t agree with the “no one dies so it’s dumb” part. I hope you have a pleasant day my friend.

Truth is that, even though messed up things happen sometimes (later down the line they happen more often), the atmosphere is always pretty chill.

That's probably what you mean. I also think that the show doen't live up to what the fans say about it, in terms of being extremely disturbing and/or traumatising.

Did you complain when Rudy survived in turning point 2? Because that’s surviving for plot purposes.

That's not even remotely the same thing. We have been shown numerous times that Hitogami favors Rudeus. His survival in that point of the story is due to basic interest that a third party showed for him in a life or death situation.

In Made in Abyss, no godlike being has ever interfered with any of the characters. In a world where even intelligent adults can die at any moment you seriously expect me to believe a bunch of powerless dumb children are surviving for such a long time?

Oh yeah an aubade is totally powerless. The canonical most powerful thing in the abyss made of special-grade relics. You thought that through so much.

There’s stuff that’s over the top gory, edgy, etc. in comparison, but nothing for me so far that is so genuinely disturbing.

Episode 12 was revolting. I don't think it has to be any more gory to send the message and inflict awful feelings. But what would you consider fucked up? Because, imo:
