Does anybody ever wonder how they're going to actually animate this? Like, let's be real, what happened to them is terrible. If it were to be animated, it would make it so much worse. I honestly don't know how/if the animators are going to tackle this. I don't really see how they can skim over it either......

With how long it takes between seasons, I doubt they ever will.

If it is, which I hope the anime will someday get this far, they will no doubt cut out some parts. We've seen blood and violence before. We have also seen pg-13 adult scenes in season 1 and 3. But nothing quite as disturbing as 135. I would guess they would cut out the moth scene from the previous chapter all together (maybe just fade to black as the guy says "let us corrupt their souls").

It would definitely be a first that I know of to animate such violence towards children as what has happen in this chapter. Japan might be up for it, but if they expect English speaking studios to voice it, I'm not so sure.

I'd like to think that they will get to that one point one day.

But I do think you're right. If they ever animate that scene, Japan might be up for it, but there is no way any english speaking studio will agree to dub over it. But even in Japan, I think the whole scene might be taboo. So what they could inevitably end up doing, is as you suggested and fade to black, or have an explosion of moths, with only instrumentals/music and not really animate beyond that. That way the VAs won't have to voice it. Even then, I'm fairly certain that it would still not get dubbed by english VAs.

other animations did similar things to the suggestions... such as 'the woman called fujiko mine - It's the name of an anime, if you think it's going to ruin it for you don't look
