Was rewatching Made in Abyss a few weeks ago and had come up with many of the same ideas about why the show focuses so much on the bodily functions of its young protagonists but I hadn't connected that aspect of the story to Bondrewd's character and I got to say you make some good points.
I just watched this movie the other day with some freinds, it was one of the best anime movies ive seen. i beleive the manga continues after volume 39 for anyone who wants to continue the ongoing story
Really excellent analysis! I've been thinking about anime and bodies a lot recently (partially because I'm taking a class about the body in East Asian cultures). Mecha anime often has themes of the mecha as body (maybe mecha as cyborg)--and then Evangelion and Gundam both have themes of the mind transcending this cyborg body. The Monogatari series also has some really themes about embodiment, and Land of the Lustrous asks questions about the body, loss, transhumanism, and identity. A series which also is interested in the embodied experience of puberty ( -and has even more loli fanservice- ) than MiA is Kodomo no Jikan, which also simultaneously breaks down dichotomies between childhood/adulthood and maturity/immaturity. You mentioned wondering about fantasy narratives with women that don't mention bodily experience--you might be interested in Tamora Pierce's novels, especially Song of the Lioness, which specifically addresses birth control and menstruation in a high fantasy setting.
Your analysis are godlike. Precise, clear, quick yet intelligent ! Please continue !!!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!!!!
That were some good thoughts on that topic.

the slug and frog were cute, the trees and mushrooms quaint
Fucking banger!!!!!
I'm unsure Made in Abyss needs the defense, but it's a nice take on the contrast between Bondrewd and the gang's conflict.
cf. the Resurrection of Christ as "elevating" the Corpus Christi, as opposed to the reductive split of sprit v. flesh
"intersperses reviewers is the greatest show of all Time" nothing else needs to be said,
did you find those mushroom girls tho?
Unfortunately, no; but a man can dream.
1:22 Dude how did you get Ethan Klein to collab with you?
He knows who the big up-and-comers are.
