povveriess said: well if this was the make it or break it episode like everyone was talking about, its pretty damn good still no people just assumed because of the manga but they added stuff. next episode is 100% the make or break episode. |
| Anime of the Season. The chills seeps into my skin. Same vibes like Madoka. In terms of harsh emotional reality. Ima put this on my top 10 all time fav anime |
| I was scared for Riko every time she walked away from Reg. And then he tells her to stay in one place for two hours, but she can't 'cause apparently, she'll die if she doesn't eat in the next two hours ๐
But I guess she learned her lesson at the end there, so hopefully, she won't walk off on her own anymore :P |
| this fucking anime Riko is a true adventurer, always getting in trouble but always finding a way out of it. And I'm thankful for witnessing her adventures. Also liked the hallucination sequence, short and to the point. |
 |
| Riko falling, the episode. Ha ha, she got eaten! |
  |
| Both youngs arrived a new stratos, although in this last one both had complications!!! But all end wright!!! Cool, new monsters to enjoy!!! ;) |
| I feel like this series could have been more popular but the style might turning people off. It's really good, in my opinion but the animation style might not appeal to many people. It looks very Final Fantasy Tactics-esque and not everyone likes that. They like generic-looking characters with nosebleeds and shit. Those cute little squirrel things, the neritantan. They're so fucking adorable and savage Riko's all like, "We should be thankful to them... their meat is delicious." LOL She even wanted to eat the madokajack thing. Those neritantans blocked their way, they be like, "You ate us, motherfucker. Now, suffer." Riko just stabbed that purple blob to save her and Regu. She may be capable after all. :) Of course the neritantans tried to eat her afterwards. Poor Riko hallucinating.... That is a fucking awesome weapon. Looks like a weapon you'd find in an RPG. |

| The narrator's voice, this time, is well engrossed in the story, always giving a lot of emphasis to the adventure that awaits the two protagonists. The narration adds another piece to Riko's understanding of how intelligent she is, but also too cumbersome. The designs are always divine, as quality. |
 |
| Reg: Riko, I'm about to pass out; just stay here... Riko: Okay! *five seconds later* Riko: Shit I'm hungry, time to go Me: REEEEEEEEEEEEE The visuals in this show are amazing, especially the monsters. I really liked the one of Riko slicing through the creature's stomach, the blood gushing, and then her sliding out with the stomach fluids. "Sounds like you have a fetish, CatSoul." No god damn it I realize it sounds like that but I just appreciate how cool it was. The third layer definitely is powerful. Riko was reminding herself of all the effects (including "visual and auditory hallucinations"), and yet the hallucination with her mom was still powerful enough to get to her for a little bit. Heading into the fourth layer! I see we're picking up the pace a bit. |

Black_wind said: Riko irritates me so much oh gawd I used to find her endearing, but her poor descision making this episode was very annoying. Despite the training with Ouzen and getting deeper into the Abyss, she is more careless than ever. |
| Nice adventure type episode that I expected this series would be like. |
 |
| best episode so far |
| Riko was so annoying in this episode that I actually wouldn't have cared if she died, because she would've brought it upon herself. It's one thing to be enthusiastic and adventurous, quite another to be an absolute moron who lacks even the least bit of awareness of her surroundings. Carelessly walking straight into unknown places, yelling inside dark caves when you know the entire place is crawling with giant predators, and then needlessly running around and putting someone else's life in danger. And after all this her dumb ass once again needed to be saved by Reg. |
| Riko just had to stay still for two hours lol. I can see Reg surviving on his own thanks to his unnatural strength but Riko would've definitely been killed had she gone on her own. |
 |
| Great episode once again, really liking where they're headed to, quite the adventure! |
 |
| Fuck to think climbing up that short of a distance fucks you up that bad makes me think about what it would look like to see this people return to Orth from the fourth or fifth layer. That's got to be a shitshow! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Damn I feel sorry for the poor plant creature lol. Was minding its own business when Riko dropped in and had to cut her way out. It's strange that Riko didn't hand over the badass pickaxe earlier to Reg. Would've saved both of them some trouble. Nice episode especially since it shows how Riko could handle herself without Reg's help. |
 |
| Damn Riko really likes to get into trouble >.> Should've just listened to Reg, hope she learned from this. Already at the 4th layer damn, Reg is carrying her hard ^^ |
 |
| As a testament to how hollow this show has been, if you just take out Riko's ignorance to everything going on around her, this show would have next to no conflict up to this point. That's not even subtracting out her incredible over reliance on Reg. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| As many have said on this thread, it's hard to take the story seriously when Riko is so obviously opposed to any form of logic. It's a nice gesture at the very least that she finally "understands" how hard Reg has been carrying her (the depth of her understanding has yet to be seen), but how could she have possibly not known this before? To immediately take off after Reg explicitly and desperately tells her to wait kind of just shows a disrespect to his opinion, and makes me much more disengaged from the story if all the strife is going to be driven from her idiocy. If they want to play the "child of the abyss" card and say she's helplessly drawn to it, then they need to make that theme more obvious. Because from where I'm sitting, I see a willfully ignorant genki girl devoid of logic. |

| I always have to remind myself that Riko is only 12 whenever I get pissed off at her for falling for obvious traps or running off on her own for stupid relics >:T she's lucky she didn't get her and Reg digested =___= At least she mentally beat the hallucination part, so I'll give her that. If she had run towards the Orth crowd of people, she would've fallen off the cliff and died. |
| That was a close call and wow great resilience from Riko to brave her way all the way through with Regu in tow! |

kappasan said: Made in Abyss is a story about a boy with superpowers, named Reg, who is on babysitting duty and who, after a while of the toddler Riko's nagging, has no choice but to accept her wishes of going out for a stroll within the deepest level of Abyss. Riko really hurt her head near-after when she was born so she hasn't grown a brain yet; so it is up to Reg to save her from every terror she runs smiling towards to. Even if the level of terrors seem to grow more horrifying further and further along the levels of the Abyss. Good luck Reg! We believe in you! hahahaha This is exactly how I feel about the show so far. These characters are so stupidly childish and cliche it hurts. And yeah I know they're 12 but this is dumb even for 12 year olds. Look at HxH for a smart 12 year old. You got your dumb protagonist who wants to follow in the footsteps of their father/mother/older brother etc. You got Reg, the most interesting character for sure, who goes through the whole 'lose their memories but you know they have some important role' shtick, who serves as the only reason Riko is not a pile of mush in this world. Even Ozen who is arguably the third most developed character in the show is the stereotypical 'cold-hearted but means well' character where they supposedly hated Riko for some reason that didn't really make sense and was more just to add unnecessary buildup to this mysterious character. And this show has had 9 episodes to develop these characters and this world as well but iit just feels like its dragging. The ratings its getting are probably why I'm so annoyed as I've expected much better. Oh well I've still got 4 episodes to make a full review |
| I've been here way too long... |
| This is truly a beautiful anime. From 1-9 it has been a wild ride. |

Our brains are in resonance bzzz! Luckily though, the episodes that came after weren't half as bad. Not the best I've ever seen but... not bad, not bad :) |
| I feel like they're progressing too fast. I would have much preferred it if the abyss were bigger, like Blame! level. Still enjoyable thus far though. |

| Rikos nativity is borderline retarded. Having once been read doesn't begin to explain why she is so incredibly stupid. She literally showed that she is as stupid as those mouse creatures for falling for that trap. Asides from cooking and naming creatures, she's done nothing useful. |

| that was interesting if a lot of this was new anime content they did I good job with it. I liked the curse flashback. It was a nice touch. |
| [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/QcK_Dagger_HeaT&sclick=1][IMG] |
| Pure adventure with breathtaking views this episode. I love it! The curse of the abyss is shown when Riko climbed the upward slope, even for that height, it could really affect her. If she were to do this again when she's further below, she would be bleeding and then transformation?! It's nice to see Riko reuniting with her mom, friends and everyone else. even though all of them are just illusions... |
  |
| I love this anime, I really do but I have one problem with it. Do they HAVE to keep constantly showing Riko puke!? Like, we get it. Ascension makes humans sick. You can show this without being so GRAPHIC about it; like leaving the sound in while doing a discretion shot but you don't have to zoom in on that shit hitting the floor; that's f*cking disgusting. And HOW the f*ck did she puke anyway if she had nothing to eat!? It's like the show has a fetish for this....and frankly, it's disturbing. |
  |
| I really like how this show is all cute and adorable but they don't censor stuff like when Riko was stabbing that giant thing like a maniac, blood was spurting and when she threw up we see bile like how it should look and not the usual shiny glittering puke. This is really awesome. |
 |
| For a 4000 meter layer, it went by surprisingly fast but I guess that's what happens when the only way through is straight down~ As for the poor floofy creatures, it's either them or them lol It's nice to see Riko handle the Abyss on her own for once despite running into all sorts of close calls but ultimately it's their codependent relationship that got them that far in the first place. That pickaxe sure is handy and I'd like to see if it'll be used like a badass version of a pickaxe later on~ I think she managed to handle the strain of the 3rd layer's curse because she didn't ascend as quickly as she was forced to by the corpse weeper and the elevator. |
 |
| So, in 1 episode, they make it from the 2nd level to the 4th level. PLOT ARMOR. No one can descend that fast. I hate Riko. She just fell for a trap. TWICE. I knew they were traps and she still fell for them. What a idiot. If you include the visual illusions too, it makes 3. She didn't see her mom after all, so she should have known.  Not only that, they should have had a watch to keep track of time. I don't know why they don't have that basic apparatus. Yeah, without Reg you wouldn't have lasted a second on the street. I am actually surprised that she is that foolish to realize it just now. Riko is reckless as fuck. Don't keep running for relics you fool. I wish you die slowly and get eaten by those creatures. If these levels were that easy, I would have reached the bottom of the abyss before completing this series. I hate the white whistles. They could have saved a lot of lives by giving this valuable info. How does that glasses classmate know that they are on level 3 and not on level 4? They used 10 days for training. This anime has not a good plot as I thought. I need better stuff if you have to justify your hype. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
