Made in Abyss

Thanks for the heads-up. Watching the show left me with the looming suspicion that Chris Hansen was going to burst in at any moment , so I’ll give the manga a wide berth.

Sounds plausible.

Oh, looks like I skipped a number in my questions lol. So on that…

What's up with the apparent lack of :

Paths in the abyss? We’re shown that there are elevator(s) into the abyss, learning that they go at least through the 6th Level in the final ep, so I thought that there might not be paths because they’d be unnecessary due to the elevators but yet we see that there are people on the 4th Level who do not seem to be using the elevators?

Maybe there might be a path and the characters aren’t using it because they want to avoid the authorities, but the method that the protagonists take to go from Ozen’s rest stop to the 4th level seems pretty impossible to climb back up, so how are ascending people like the guy that Reg rescues from “Orby” going to get back up?

It might seem weird to mention it here lol, but one big positive in the construction of the series that stood out to me was how it seemed to have the characters address many of the questions that it knew the viewer would have.
