Taking it nice and slow. Ozen's actions were nicer than her words.

Made in Abyss? Made in Cliffhanger.

Not sure what to make of this... mostly because the goddamn cliffhangers!

I was wrong, Ouzen's VA has done an outstanding job!
It was a little over-done if you ask me.

Definitely seemed to be the case.

When she saw that "monster" looking thing at night all I was thinking was, "Isn't this normal, though? You see weirder stuff than this all the time in the Abyss."
It wasn't a monster, it was a bloody ribcage with leg-arms. It's like seeing a zombie instead of a weird wild animal. Just because the Abyss is different from YOUR normal reality, doesn't mean everything else is expected. The Abyss has it's OWN NORMAL, and it's wildlife have believable biology, that thing she saw makes no sense as an animal.

except that would completely fuck up this whole series, because they'd be able to stroll through all this bs along the anisotropic like it's nothing.

Not much going on this episode, but even more mysteries to solve. Is her mom really dead? If she didn't write that letter, who did? And why do they want Riko to come down there? Wtf was that animated corpse thing? 😳

Atlas77 said:
It felt like a normal episode, there were only a few interesting things but what was that thing and what's that cube.

I think the cube is the curse-repelling relic Riko was in as a baby. I'm pretty sure it was shown in an earlier episode.

I don't understand this show.

Once again, an entire episode spent on literally nothing.

What new information do we get? That Riko's mom might actually be dead and that there's some strange cube of light.

This is an "adventure" anime, but there's so little adventure. Most of this episode was spent inside of a tree, with the characters walking around or talking about inconsequential things.

I understand building a world, but it's been three episodes since anything important happened.

I also feel that there was a wasted opportunity to have some flashbacks showing Ouzen's interaction with Riko and her mom. All we got was a brief flash of Riko's mom's mouth...

I don't know.

And then the random monster. It's almost like the creators thought, 'well, we've done absolutely nothing this episode, so we better throw in a random monster with creepy music to make it seem interesting'.

This show started with such promise, but for the past three weeks I've been more and more disappointed.


You asked many good questions and you will get the answers next episode. I understand you; they could definitely go faster in this episode, but it is obvious by now that its their purpose. As you can see even the first minutes of this episode are the copy of the last minutes of the previous one.

Oh he knows, Ozen is clearly the best character in this anime and she will be :-)

Manga readers: This episode covered just 1.5 chapters and thus we have 14.5 chapters in 6 episodes. I do not think we are getting to the you know which arc.


Where do you think the anime will end in the manga given the pacing and all that?


My guess? The first 28 chapters.

Seems legit to me then; isn't this book at like 40 or so chapters currently?

The manga is much more fast pace but consider the ending point, it's obvious that they have to slow it down. My quess is it will stop at chapter 26.

I sad that we won't get Bon Papa Arc Animated.

Another great episode...but a very mysterious one as well! Ozen was especially mysterious and I'm not sure what to think of her character yet. There is clearly a lot more going on in this story than the simple journey of Riko and Reg...I sense something darker is looming just around the corner in this animes plot. I'm not quite sure what that was at the end that I saw in Ozen's chamber but it was a great cliff hanger that has me already waiting for the next episode!
I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!!

What a great episode! ^_^

Poor Riko. Her and Regu's been through a lot of shit, and now she stinks. Hahaha.

That woman scares me, and I want Regu and Riko to stay away from her. There's something fishy about her.

I love the new character (forgot her name dafuq). She's so adorable and sweet. <3

Riko wet herself and Regu's sheets. Hahahahaha! Poor baby.

I hope that tall-ass woman was lying. And somehow I feel like she's telling the truth. Idk. And the letter is somehow connected to that white folk who can be seen in the ED. I think that white folk is also connected to Riko's mother. Gaaah. So many questions, this anime's great so far!

And talking about the ED: I wonder if the song's already available on iTunes. I need it on my phone.

Another fine episode! If they could stop making these episodes feel like they're only 5 minutes long that would be great. It passes so quickly!

Ozen really gives me the hebbie-jebbies. Her dialogue is so cold and uncaring and her voice is so sinister. She may have been kind enough to let Riko and Reg stay the night and take Maruluk under her wing, but she seems so suspicious. I don't trust her. She says that Lyza is dead, yet in some ways I don't believe her.

WTF was that creature?!? It was so creepy, I thought it was going to attack Riko. The fact that such a thing was left wandering around makes me even more suspicious of Ozen.

Fantastic soundtrack!

Ozen does look like a sturdy figure.

If it weren't for replies here, I'd convinced that Maluruk was a girl since his way of talking was so polite and soothing~ haha

I'm quite impressed with the interior design. Wasn't expecting that. I had to pause b/w the frames to admire the art :D

Are we sure this is only going to be 13 episodes? Because it feels like it needs a lot more, and I'd love to see them! Assuming that it doesn't have a much more abrupt ending than what it feels like it should have, hopefully it's garnering enough popularity to get a second season!
I feel the same way. Hopefully there are more. With so much exploration that could be done,it does feel like it should be a longer series than just 13 episodes.

Very interesting episode. It feels like the overall mood of the show suddenly took a turn towards the dark side. That part when she was going to pee was very nice. I'm looking forward to the next episode!

That trap though :3c

i think the biggest flaw was not finishing chapter 14. Expanding the "search and chase" scene was completely unnecessary since they also included the manga's version of the same event making it a redundant waste of time. they could've used that run time to properly finish the 2nd chapter which would've still been an actual cliff hanger and not simply a cliff like this one was.

If they want to expand content the next episode's content would've had AMPLE opportunity for expansion without anyone being the wiser (action heavy chapters can always be tweaked to fill more or less time as long as it's smooth and the key beats are included). (and to make matters worse...15 by itself covers more content than 13 and 14 do combined)

But now over half of episode 7 is already locked down. recapping 2-3 minutes of this episode, 5-6 minutes that should've been in this episode, and then squeezing a bunch of extra exposition, and then you might FINALLY see something happen.

I'm already dreading it since it's going to be a chaotic mess of information overload interspersed with a lot of distractions, instead of handing it out in more bite-size chunks for people to process during the week. It'll probably take 3-4 rewatches to even start to understand what all happens.

Maruruk is boy or girl or whatever but that lady ozen was super mysterious woman of this show so far! Her voice creeps me up! Dat non-cgi monster was quite mysterious as well as it says they didn't know any of ghost appearance so far.

Pretty much buildup episode but I didn't like how it ended.

At least Ouzen showed hospitality to Riko & Regu.

I think Ouzen is not giving hopeless truth to Riko but it's her way of how she cares to Riko, because down below is nothing but despair?

another "literally nothing happens" episode. been like this for 6 episode ffs. I thought this is exciting adventure anime like toriko or even hxh finding asshole mom ging freecs!!!, but very disappointing so far. loli and shota sexual innuendos are also annoying. ozen VA is annoying af, even worse than new game's umigon

I will just go ahead and read the whole manga and decide if this is actual shit or not.

*ok im at the end of current manga chapter, it's less adventure more loli and shota gore fest and sexual innuendos, if you are into that. there is interesting part later on but I doubt we will reach it with snail pacing of this anime

I really liked how they introduced Maruluk, just straight up with no shock value. And I love how nonchalant Riko is about her own nudity. This was a great episode and I'm hating the wait for the next one.

I think the best part that even though they are children, and very obviously naive and childlike, the world around them is very realistically adult.

My greatest fear for this series is that it'll have a non-conclusive ending and then we won't get a second season for lack of popularity or sth like that smh.

Seriously, what's great about this show? I mean, I don't think it's bad(though I've no score for it yet since I rate shows after I finished them). Decent at best, I guess. I read some of the comments and reviews prior to watching it and the information I've gathered, after reaching this 6th episode, I'm just not seeing or feeling those good stuffs they're describing. Please, don't hate me. I am just curious to know what you find in this show that made it good.
