| Still don't understand the appeal of the anime Vs the manga. Starting to feel like Berserk this far in, in respect to manga vs anime. |

podetus said: Ah I see, I must have remembered it wrong. That's alright then, I suppose. Still didn't care much for this episode. JCvetich said: Also, I'm fairly certain one of the characters mentioned that Reg "couldn't just use his arms to lower them down the abyss"... But that's exactly what he did this whole episode. They said that he can't reach the bottom with just his arm. Not couldn't use his arm to lower them down abyss |
| It always fun to see whenever Riko get that excited for a moment then suddenly cried because of her mistakes and hype. >_< Anyway now that they've finally reach the second layer of the Abyss and also receive some info from Habo, it must be the time to get more careful on the move. |

| Good episode, it did feel a little slower compared to the previous ones but a good episode nonetheless. It was nice seeing Riko and Reg enjoy a meal in the first layer of the Abyss. Was also nice seeing Habo, Interesting how he says "All things that comes from the abyss will eventually return into abyss". He even gave Riko some useful supplies and warned her about Ozen, the white whistle we'll presumably meet soon. The farewell was really nice. :) We've reached the 2nd layer pretty fast, I was expecting Riko and Reg to run into a lot more hurdles but with the way it was portrayed, it did look like both of them reached the 2nd layer fairly easily. Looking forward to next week. |
 |
| Slow paced but I think it was important to made us aware the danger that there really is no going back now. |

MetaThPr4h said: That was another good episode, but I honestly have been wondering some stuff since episode 1 so I kinda just want to put them here, there are chances that the own anime explained them and I failed to understand that tho, so sorry beforehand. 1- Would Riko have any chance to get far without Regu being there? It seems like she would have gone there even if he wasn't here, not to mention that he provides an insane help by just dropping lots of meters with his hand. 2- They plan to go to pretty much the bottom known of the Abyss, but, is there even a chance for them to do that? They are already warned not to go to the second level or they won't get rescued, there is no way they can even get past that, especially if the monsters and dangers around are more and more difficult the lower they go. 3- How do the adventurers climb back? Like, Regu used his hand to decrease lots of meters at the start, falling really far, it sounds very difficult to climb back like in a mountain, especially when just going to the third level makes the person feel terrible due to the curse of the Abyss, I can't see how someone could climb back while feeling awful no matter how good they are at being adventurers. 4- Generally worried about the whole objective in general, for now the story is basically going to find Riko's mother, who awaits at the bottom, that is fine as a driving force to start the adventure, but, idk, HxH starts because Gon wants to find his father, but he already has the objective to become a Hunter so the story has a first point to start from, meanwhile Abyss so bar is pretty much just keep going down. It's only 4 episodes so I guess that I'm just worrying too much. 1. That's speculation, but probably not. Reg helps a LOT. She would probably would go there even without Reg, but her chances would be very slim and probably wouldn't end up happy (meaning: alive) 2.Well, also speculation. They are adamant that they will go down to the lowest levels to find Riko's mom and probably will do anything to acomplish that goal. If they manage 3. Well that's is probably the biggest problem of raiding the abyss. Going down is I guess not that tough, but going up again through the curse must be painful. Reg has a huge advantage because of his arms, so you can imagine climbing with ropes upwards must be super difficult. 4. There are no changes of Riko's objective so far, finding her mom is the primary target. However there are inclinations and thoughts, that Riko's trying to be a great cave raider along the way, quite logically. |

| Praise this anime. It almost looks like anime is good again. Almost. |
| Re-watching this episode I realize my problem with the pacing, even without using the manga as a basis. It's so obvious how they were dragging things out for time, every conversation is so slow and there's so many pauses and long extended shots of the characters doing something for like 10 seconds in total silence. It's pretty awkward and doesn't flow well. I understand they were going for the whole adventure aspect and trying to spend more time on the first layer but it was just badly directed to me. |
| "Oh, nothing mechanical about those balls of yours, I see!" - Habo I'M DEAD. Hahahaha! When Habo-san hugged Regu and Riko, it was so sweet. He must be protected at all cost; he's too precious bumble bear. Gaaaah! Why is this show keeps getting better and better? It's sooo gooood. I just love how this show makes us feel we're going on a terrifying yet fun journey with Regu and Riko, and I honestly want to know more about the Abyss (even though I'm so scared). It's so mysterious, it's killing me. It's like exploring the deepest of our ocean, or like Dante's Inferno (for the nth time) I can't wait for the next episode. I need more of this anime, and the waiting sucks as hell. :/ |

| Though I need to say the next 2 episodes must be great because of Ouzen/Ozen. She is by far the coolest character in the story. The next waiting will be well rewarded. |
|
| I was kinda expecting something HUGE to happen in this episode so to see that it didn't happen, I was a bit underwhelmed HOWEVER the adventure aspects of this episode made up for it and I LOVE that Black Whistle guy....I wish he stayed with them but oh well, I'm rooting hard for Reg and Riko (But I feel like this forrest is gonna be fucked up lol and I REALLY wanna see this other White Whistle lady now) |
Grimmgeta said: Well I guess I should have mentioned I wasn't just talking about on MAL, most of the complaining I saw was on Reddit. Anyway, from what I gather there are two good ending spots in the manga from a post that I read. Maybe they'll go with the first ending to set up for a second season? Who knows. At this point it's best to just see how the next couple of episodes are paced before worrying too much. There are two places to end it at, but the first is a major "Go Read the Manga" ending that many people will not like, the second is a perfect ending for the anime. |

| They're already at the second layer. Who knows what they'll encounter now. |
 |
| The farewell moment between Rico/Reg & Habo was sad :( |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Ok episode. Habo seemed like a cool guy. |
 |
| They are now getting deeper! and is now almost near Forest of Temptation, and it is just only the second layer! Habo's fast and he warned them about the White Whistle Ozen! 4/5. |

ZanathKariashi said: my biggest complaint was that they needlessly drug several scenes out to fill time. Now they're going to have to waste ~5 minutes of episode 5 getting to where this episode should've ended. And if they are shooting for a chapter 26 ending, why did they cut so much out of episodes 1 and 2, if character/world building was so important. Between the both of them there's a bout 1/3 of an episode of content/dialog removed. Warranted...depending how the rest of adaption is handled, this might in the end be alright....but it is worrisome that they might drop the ball and start butchering things towards the end if it turns out they are shooting for a chapter 38 ending and have to start rushing a bunch to get there if they don't start showing a more brisk pace by the next episode. On the other hand, if they're shooting a 26 ending, they will have to drag scenes out to make sure it ends where 26 does, and might be saving the parts cut/skipped to slip into other episodes via flashbacks or introspection to pad run time. my only real concern is that it's still not 100% clear which ending they're going for so I'm a bit conflicted on how much to recommend the series at the moment since I'm not sure how much hype to build. if it ends at 26 that's ok but it's going to be a MUCH different season than ending on 38. (It's like ending OPM Season 1 on Sea King instead of Boros) Of course if you take the OP and ED literally, it's actually going to end on chapter 28. Which is about as big of a kick in the dick as you can get for a season finale. It's like pulling up to Baramos's castle in DQIII and the game ending and telling you congrats now wait 5-6 years for the continuation. ---------------------------- on a side note, HOLY CRAP that ED is more hilarious than I ever imagined it being now that the translation is out. Its pretty obvious where this season ends, since Prushka is not on the character list, which basically points to your statement. And I agree, I am not amused at all by this flow of events. We are gonna rely on the sales which will define the creation of the second series. If that won't happen and this will sadly end with only 13 episodes done, that would make from this show a rather shameful story about nothing. |

Swagernator said: exactly what I thought"All things that comes from the abyss will eventually return into abyss" - well Riko looks like your time is shortening.... Mariecat1 said: Then we'll just switch over to the manga *thumbs up*This pace is worrisome, it had great pace and then it was shattered in this episode. The episode was good as usual though. I read in an article that the director said that in the anime, the final parts could be rushed. This is not good especially for the best dad arc. How could they showcase him in his true glory? Another thing that stresses me is what if they remove the dark scenes that make up the manga? Are they really gonna make it PG? I hope not.

| So far this is my favorite episode. I'm loving the bond Reg and Rico and the whole scene with Habo was bittersweet, but sad too. What I love about this show is the sense of scale I get from the abyss. It feels big, dangerous and mystical. I'm very curious to see what the other layers have in store. |

Nah, Mitty isn't in the character list as well and she comes almost as the same time as Nanachi. |
| Habo the good guy. :D I don't know why I still think that Abbys is one, big spaceship or something and Reg was/is child one of it's old crew. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| So the adventure continues, and what a nice episode this was, but it only seems like the beggining, next episode plz! |

| i'm really enjoying this anime, it's so different and refreshing from the other ones i'm watching. with each episode i feel more and more sad that it's only 13 episodes. seeing every layer is really interesting as well, i wish they spent more time on each layer though. the creatures and setting would be something really fun to show imo one thing that bothers me though, is that all these adults who know the dangers of the abyss are letting this little girl go on a suicide mission. obviously she's the MC and all so she'll be fine but they don't know that. from their knowledge, they should understand that she'll pretty much die |

| I really enjoy the pace so far, leaves enough time to explore every layer. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Some nice defenses Reg set up there, and with that, we begin in the first layer, and already reach the second, though we have seen plenty of the first layer already anyway. Things are gonna start getting much more dangerous now. Also this anime seems to enjoy Reg fan service. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Exciting episode, I always want more of this. The characters are very good and he adventure is beginning. |

Mitty ain't really a "character", she doesn't speak. She still makes sounds. And the resolution of meeting Nanachi involves her. Meaning Prushka not being in the character list doesn't imply anything conclusive, considering that Bondrew is in it. |
| Everything was very good to solid except for the dialogue that seemed a bit...unnatural? static? Needs work on that department. Good week regardless |
| 1.The first thing I noticed is her waking the robot up. Typical woman: cannot stand seeing a man resting or having fun without her 2. Her cooking is okeish and the robot says it is not as horrible as another meal she cooked. Also memorizing the recipe does not make one a cook. 3. losing the compass was a big hit. 4. the poor old guy. I pity him for having such a rash niece |

It's only 4 episodes so I guess that I'm just worrying too much. 1. no she could not. Look at the first episode again 2. well it depends on how fast one tries to get there. Think of it like scuba diving at big depths. 3. provided they stay enough at each level to let their body adjust it should be possible. Hard but possible. 4. well what you expect the objective to be? It was based on an impulse of the moment. |
| To the manga readers, I actually think we're on time for everything, if my guesses are correct: Of course, those are all wild guesses with nothing to back them up. |
| Guys, hoping that anime will reach up to around 39th chapter was a mistake. Don't you know that production starts some time before th reveal? This was announced before Christmas if we assume the they started preproduction half year earlier means they only had up to around 28th chapter. |
 |
| lol why are people complaining about the pacing? It's better to take things slowly than to rush it just to get to a certain arc before the end of the series. And tbh I love slow paced adventure stuff. Kino no Tabi and Mushishi are the best things ever. I haven't read the manga so I don't know how long this is, but I'd much rather have them keep taking things slow and make another season later on than making it more fast paced than it has been. I loved this episode, for me it just keeps getting better and better. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| jesus christ all the manga readers hinting at stuff. Can we stop this? |

| Woah, I'm loving it. The pacing indeed felt slower, but I loved it, we got to experience the journey, which in my opinion is a strong point the anime adaptation has to take advantage of. Riko and Reg have such an interesting relationship, she's just adorable. Of thing I noticed so far is how self-aware of its rather complex interactions the anime is. Whenever I had any doubt about something, e.g how for down the mail balloon still works, it would be explained in some details shortly after. Really excited for the episodes, so many mysteries to be revealed!

It's only 4 episodes so I guess that I'm just worrying too much. Of course going down is dangerous and all that, but I think they're making it sound like the real problem is actually going back up. I remember them saying something about nausea, body deformation and even death when trying to go back up from deeper layers. That's why there maybe are some white whistles still alive down there, since they can't go up otherwise they would die, they just stay on the deeper layers. Well, that's what I get of it so far, the mystery aspect of this is actually quite amusing. |
| It's still irritating to me how Leader just lets a child go into the depths of the Abyss all by herself. |
 |
| well this is getting really good |
 |
| 4 episodes in and this anime is giving me the feeling that relatively few anime give me: the urge to binge watch all of it until 2am in the morning! Sadly that can't happen seeing it hasn't finished airing it. What a shame... :( I'm loving the series so far. The animation is like something out of Studio Ghibli, the soundtrack (especially the OP) is on point, the world-building is (so far) well developed, the intriguing plot is proceeding at a nice steady pace but best of all, I love the characters and their interactions! Riko and Regu have a nice bond and make a great team! Can't wait to see more of this series, I'll definitely be watching this every week. |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| oh man things are about to get real! i'm so excited for this and honestly wish is had at least 24 episodes haha. Love the art style |
   |
| Good atmosphere,. If anything, the mystery keeps adding up in a good direction. |
