Some of the episodes were really weird lmao But I enjoyed the day with Nat and seeing how Ouzen and Marulk met was great too. A lot more gripping than I expected from a 3 min special spin-off episode.

I would have expected an episode similar to the others: devoted to fun and relaxation. Instead it turns out to be very melancholy and links to the main story of the anime, giving more information on Marulk's past, I must say that after this last episode the desire to have a sort of spin-off focused on him and Ozen, is still more vivid. Excellent quality of drawings and animations, it is a pity that only four episodes were made in short format.

P.S. Wow! I wouldn't have expected anyone to comment on this series of shorts with me at the same time. XD

The last episode was quite dark in contrast to the previous three . They were able to keep the vibe ,I'm glad

First three episodes being more comedy focused but last one actually giving us some real development of the main story, we get to see how Ozen and Marulk came to meet each other.

Overall, pretty good series of shorts.

Considering how "meh" the previous shorts were, this one was definitely the best. I really like Maruruk so it was truly interesting to know how he and Ouzen ended up meeting.

to all those who didn't watch this, they're missing out on the backstory.

quite impressive for 3 minute shorts which are only 4 episodes.
i really did wish they made a whole separate episode on marulk's backstory though.

I really liked this short episode(?), it was great yet sad to know Marulk's backstory.
Wish it would of been longer than 3 minutes tho.

Having now seen all the specials, I understand why Eventive decided to show episodes 2 and 4 after the credits of Dawn of the Deep Soul because they were the best episodes of the bunch, and the most different whether it be seeing the surface and Nat again or giving insight into Marulk's backstory.

This episode was the only one I liked though, likely because the other three were comedy focused and comedy's always been the weakest element of Made In Abyss. Thought the second episode was mostly just dull, but I hated the first and third episodes. 3/10 for me.

Whoa, Marulk's backstory? Having seen the manga and anime, this is a suprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Those who did not watch this are missin out big time thats for sure.

Nice , so we finally get to know about marulk's backstory. It's also amazing how they were able to nicely fit the backstory in a 3 min short.

It wouldn't be Made in Abyss without some tragedy. Definitely the most interesting of the four shorts, seeing a glimpse of Marulk's past and how he met Ozen.
Overall I liked them, it's good to see Marulk and Ozen again, especially since we will likely not see them in the main storyline ever again.

Nice background on how Marulk and that lady met, but i hate her voice. The way she talks drives me nuts. Also she's a dreadful person mostly.

Well it was a dream and in dreams some things can be wrong. Maybe the part how they met was the same but details like Marulk's outfit and look were different..

Este capitulo me dio mucho dolor, ver como Marulk tuvo que pasar por tanto y como pierde a su familia me dio mucho pesar.

Ok of course it can't be MIA without some trauma. Finally watched this so now I know where the tied up Marulk I've always seen came from. Not bad comedy and backstory in a couple of 3 minute eps.
