That reveal about Riko sure was intriguing! I was still a bit confuse before whether that part is true or not after the 2nd half of the episode started.

Another boring episode.

Ozen:

"I hate you Riko. Yes, for no apparent reason."

"Fight me, robot kid."

"Just kidding! It was a test. I guess I'll train you now."

"Riko, you were dead and this thing reanimated you. Because reasons."

"Oh and also I reanimated some meat and half of it got away."

Meh. Probably dropping this.


Things pick up pretty quickly when they meet the next character, and everything just gets more and more intense from there. I'd suggest holding on for another episode or two before calling it quits.

Maybe I'll give it a shot next week... thanks for the response.

I've just been hearing this for the last three episodes. I guess maybe I'll stick around and watch it next week and decide then.

It makes me happy to see the above of the abyss for the 1st time. Hahaha. Well, we were all deep in the abyss now for the past episodes, so seeing the land on top of the abyss made me let out a sigh of relief because I'm terrified for Riko and Regu.

Fucking Ozen. How dare you hurt my kids!?!?! You bitch! You bastard! You massive asshole! Ohmygod. I'm so pissed off! How fucking dare you!?!?!?!! I hate her so fucking much! Someone kill her already.

I love you, Marulk! You did a great job calling the cave raiders. Ugh. Ugh. I fucking hate Ozen so much, and nobody can convince me to like her if she's going to redeem herself. How fucking dare her hurt great kids like Regu and Riko!?!?

I fucking knew she was lying. Fuck you, Ozen. Lyza is alive everyone. Yaaaas! So, Ozen is Lyza's mentor? Idgaf. I still hate her. Fuck Ozen. And is she a fucking immortal? Hahhaa. She doesn't age like what the fuck.

My children will survive that 10-day survival training. They can do it. Yaaas.

Loved this episode, but I hate Ozen so fucking much.

P.S. I really need the ED song in my phone now. ;-; Such a cute ED song. <3
P.P.S. I probably broke my own record for swearing so much. I'm just so fucking pissed.
P.P.P.S. I hope this show will be 2-cour. I want more of this anime. ;-;

It is all about the angle of perception. The Abyss is a ruthless and unforgiving place, you cannot go there with the naivity those 2 kids were entering it. She kind of gave them a wake up call and is gonna train them to be prepared. Yes, it's harsh, but I don't think going soft in these conditions is welcomed and effective. I for one love this kind of mentoring and delivers the best lessons. You'll probably forgive her the next episode.

Your loss mate, check the manga at least (*SIGH* It's really hard to satisfy some people eh?)

*oh wait, you said you were gonna give next week's ep a chance, cool cool, don't expect too much from the "training" it's short because in the manga it's pretty much a "meta joke" towards the whole "training arc" type of stuff (not sure if the studio will drag it on for half an episode tho, they might)

Bruuh, you kinda enlightened me, but the way she treated those 2 kids, maaan, that's just cruel.

Well, maybe I'm going to end up liking her especially she helped Lyza save Riko.

After seeing more Ouzen in this episode, I came to love her. Subconsciously even! Since I found out she was voiced by Oohara Sayaka the goddess. Wtf lol.
Also it's nice seeing the reality starts in this episode. No more sightseeing carefree abyss travel. Kinda early. So it's good.

Holy cows! That certainly escalated quickly!

The revelations about Riko being a stillborn is astonishing.

The fight scene with Ozen was great too! I said last episode that she was hard to read, and this episode confirms it with her 'test' against Riko & Reg. She had me fooled as I literally thought she was going to kill them, especially when she aimed Reg's incinerator against Riko.

I haven't read the manga but I'm starting to hope that we'll get a decent conclusion for this season seeing there's only 6 episodes left and clearly a lot more of the Abyss to explore.

Was surprised that Ozen's flashback got cut, probably because the remaining time for the current episode is too short or they are trying to make it as perfect as possible(because imo it's very gud).
The latter part of the flashback is what made me go from "omgasdf dis douchy derp mahgrd" into "asdafadasfsad i want to be her disciple too and be someone she could depend on".

I mean no offense, but seeing your profile with 3 completed animes and saying you are hard to satisfy, thats pretty overstated. And since you obviously like shounens, trust me, the "because reasons / for no apparent reason " is specially used in these shows. I am just saying, that in the future, if you get to watch a lot more shows, youll find Made in Abyss as a pretty inteligent and reasonable anime.

So Riko is technically dead? Wow.

Should have been thrilling and gripping; it was, to an extent, but probably not as much as they would have liked, because for a certain reason the emotions/motives were awkward. At one point it seemed fucked up and confused; another point it felt oversimplified and immediate/forced. Dunno, I'm not as good a critic as I want to, so I can't really express my view eloquently I think

I seriously want to read the Manga after hearing people claim she appeared more terrifying in the Manga compared to the Anime, I promise to read it once the 13 episodes are done airing, ah I can only hope it gets a 2nd season after hearing all the Manga readers say that it might not reach the "good arcs"

That Ozen is quite a vicious woman. It was hard to watch Reg getting beat up like that.

I think the biggest difference is that in the manga the whole scene is clearly done from the perspective of the person she's intimidating and actually includes their perception of it, which leads to their fear twisting the scene into a more stylized form.

In the anime they're similar but it's shown from our perspective, so while Ozen is doing the same thing herself, the scene is different because we're observing it as a 3rd party instead of perceiving it how the character perceives it and how this shifts the tone of the scene quite a bit.

Ouzen was insane in this episode, even though i understand that she wants them to be ready for what's coming.
Ouzen is so strong, Reg didn't stand a chance against her.

I guess I understand that Artifacts have crazy powers... it's just jarring because we haven't seen any of them used in the show, really.

I've decided to give the show another week, so hopefully I enjoy the next episode more than I have the most recent ones.
