| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Riko thinks that Lyza's letter message is met for her. I'm not surprised that an argument broke out considering how dangerous a trip down to the Abyss can be. Good amount of storytelling about the world fiction this episode too. For an fantasy adventure, I think this show does a neat job at getting viewers to understand its world. |
 |
| And so our adventure begins... |
| Amazing episode! I really loved the adaptation. The backgrounds continue to be absolutely stunning. I cried at the end, it's the start of the adventure, a long long adventure ;_;. |
| :3 |
| Regu does his first cave-raid and unsurprisingly doesn't get sick. The ending scene with the goodbyes was quite emotional. Well, the long awaited adventures starts. |
 |
| Reg goes on his first cave-raid and doesn't get affected. That departure was tear jerking. A long adventure starts. |
 |
| Oh damn, what a sweet episode I nearly cried at the end Damn you Natt, making things sadder! ;-; |
| Let's dive in right into the abyss! Good episode overall with Natt making it all the more emotional. |

| they should just parachute down smh |
| Holy hell what an amazing episode! Best so far! |
| Definitely excited to see the rest of this series, there's been a lot of build-up to the dangers of the abyss, and now they're finally beginning their descent... Leader totally knew what was going on, and knew trying to stop them would just be delaying the inevitable at best. Whatever Reg noticed in his pack was definitely something Leader put there. Aaaaand the poor little kid is going to die on his birthday :( I'm not sure how much more we're going to see of the people at the top of the abyss or what events can still be shown there to make that plot thread a valuable part of the story, but Chekhov's Gun is locked and loaded... |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| This show was already good but it seems like it's really getting started now. I can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Damn the death flag for the little kid :/ I have a feeling that something horrible is gonna happen next week |
 |
| Great episode overall with just some minor part cut. Despite how colorful epsiode 1 and 2 portray Orth as the city of hope, brimming with energy, the slum represents the looming shadow of Orth, with slum children usually died of young age. Nat is one of the lucky ones to get picked up by the orphanage, which in turn motivates him to build an orphanage in the slum, maybe with Riko by his side. Too bad for him, his first crush instead decides to do a suicidal dive, clinging on flimsy hope to reunite with her mother at the depth of the abyss and poor Nat can do nothing but to witness how the darkness of the abyss swallow both Riko and Reg... |
| Really nice buildup to whats coming next, lets see what the abyss habe stored for them. Last scene was kinda sad |
| tears well shred! |
| Wow i'm actually starting to get hyped by this anime. Its a shame that anime with so much potential,such a deep lore and beautiful world only have 12 episodes,i hope a sequel is in march. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| That episode was awesome and the end of this episode was really great. |
  |
| I really enjoyed this episode. The tension at the end of the episode, the mixture of excitement and dread... Really, really well done. I might pick up the manga. |
| Great episode, loved it. It was really cool to learn about the structure of the abyss or at least whatever is known about it's structure till date. 6 layers known till now, I wonder what's below that. I hope that horror story that Nat told Reg was just a story. The send off was really emotional and so, our adventure begins. I'm super excited to see what lies in store for us in each of the Abyss's various levels and whatever lies beyond. |
 |
| Great worldbuilding once again, we get more information about the layers of the Abyss. Obviously the 6th one really interests me. Nat made this episode really emotional, he likes Riko and he had to let go. Poor kid ;-; The real story and adventure begins now. Leader definitely knew and didn't stop them. Was probably him who put that in Reg's bag, wonder what it is. That one scene with Reg and Nat on the stairs was phenomenal, the music was PERFECT. |
| Finally voice of Lyza the Annihilator was heard. |
 |
| Poor Nato ;_; And Adventure, start! |
| and the journey to find ging freecs begin |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Oh man, that was so good, the show is really hitting the right buttons,if this continues I think that I won't be able to hold myself back from picking up the manga any longer. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Some drama before going but they make up and now onto the abyss. |
 |
| So they have descended. The real adventure begins next episode. |
 |
| I wouldn't surprise if they find something like in the bottom of the abyss if they ever reach it haha the feels intensifies... can't wait for next episode also GangsterCat said: and the journey to find ging freecs begin LMAO! |

| The people doing the backgrounds for this series deserve so much praise. They are just so beautiful and well drawn. Just the overall feel of this anime is so well put together. |
| This was toooooo goood. Definitely AOTS |
 |
| I was sure that this anime would also be a drop for me. Pleasant surprise of a disappointing summer season.. |
HereticHunter said: I wouldn't surprise if they find something like in the bottom of the abyss if they ever reach it haha the feels intensifies... can't wait for next episode The Abyss in this series makes Dark soul's seem like a child's playpen in comparison. |
| This world is totally immersive (no pun intended). It's so well constructed and thought out. And the pervasive feeling of dread, that once they descend all hell will break lose cannot be shaken off. |

| It's just getting better and better! I am very excited to see their journey. I love how everything looks and how the whole anime has this movie kind of feel to it. |
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. |

For real? that tunes me more for it then |

| Now it's getting really interesting without a doubt. Great episode. |
  |
| I'm just here waiting for the darkness to begin. Let's gooooo gimme all the dark shit fam! |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Farewell has been sent. I was about to cry honestly. Journey has begun |
 |
| I didn't expect to start heading for the bottom so soon! |
 |
G_Spark233 said: I didn't expect to start heading for the bottom so soon! It's only a 12-episode show, so 9 episodes in the abyss will be great. I've been looking forward to this since the show started. So many mysteries to discover :D |
NitroKageAki said: Too bad for him, his first crush instead decides to do a suicidal dive, clinging on flimsy hope to reunite with her mother at the depth of the abyss and poor Nat can do nothing but to witness how the darkness of the abyss swallow both Riko and Reg... Well, that's one way of putting it. |
 |
| Well, the adventure begins. This show is demostrating that a huge adventure will come, the characters are good, the backgrounds incredible and the story catching. Also the crativity of every phase in the Abyss is very good. This show is promising. |
 |
| Great explanation about the abyss to make people understand and what a sad farewell between them. I guess we can say that the prologue is over and the journey begins now. |
