If nothing else, take comfort in the growth of society since the time being depicted. Most places wouldn’t, uh, make human soup nowadays. So that’s nice, anyway.
I found the first episode to treat the gore sparsely. The soup part is mostly off camera or blurred and suggested. The didn’t linger on it like the Indian Jones face melting guy. I thought it was tastefully done, if you’ll pardon the pun.
They also respected the philosophical aspect of it, with a pensive monologue that reflects the ambivalent nature of the scene and the character of Yabu in the book.
Also, good call removing the CSA scene from the book but still keeping the sexual perversion of the character present.
I didn’t realize this was a reboot. The first episode was, uh…something. The soup was definitely not easy to watch.
It’s the reason I won’t watch. I don’t need to see a visceral human soup scene.

It’s a readaptation of the book. Follows the book quite well so far with non essential things left out for brevity.
I loved the book and I’m enjoying this series so far.
