Amazing episode in so many ways but...

did anyone else expect the geothermal bubbles to sound like that? lol. I did not expect a screech, that's for sure. Thought it would be more rumbling and ominous sounding.

I'm not a fan of S01 nor the movies but I will watch this season anyways, hopefully, it will be better.

So far I'm enjoying it, I do wish they go easy with those forced emotional scenes, that's one of the things I disliked about S01 and the movie, the emotional scenes seemed way too forced for my taste there and the OST wasn't that good in those moments either.

I like my emotional moments subtle, not forced, and I want those moments followed by a good sad OST, those are the things I enjoy the most in an anime, hopefully, this season won't disappoint me in those moments again.

An interesting episode. Now I wonder about the significance of those cave raiders shown in the first episode? And the real identity of the hollows show in the episode.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

I'm not looking forward to all of the CG.
There are a lot of big and complex creatures in this season and I don't think they have the budget to do them justice in 2D :/
I hope I'm wrong but seeing they already CG'd Majikaja, then I don't have too much faith.

They don't have the means to re-attach it I think. It was quite hard to cut off in the movie as well. I'm not sure what they did with it though... maybe its in some backpack of theirs?

I don't think emotional scenes in the first season were forced. That being said, I do think that ost is kinda off this season, especially the beginning of ep1, it didn't quite fit the visuals

Fair enough, I respect your opinion about it. I've found the emotional scenes in S01 and the movie forced though, to me they were trying too hard to force all that melodrama and instead of feeling emotional I was cringing a bit, the OST wasn't helping those moments either but I will admit that the emotional scenes of Mitty in S01 almost got me a bit though, anyway, I need a good, emotional, sad OST with melody to get in the mood for those scenes and S01 and the movie didn't cut it in that department, I hope S02 bring a better OST to the table in those scenes.

An example of the sad, emotional OST that I really love in emotional moments are:

01 - Steins;Gate (My best anime, has extremely good emotional moments and they are subtle, just the way I like it, the OST in those moments are really good too)

02 - Naruto (to me Naruto is a mediocre anime but they really nailed it in the OST, the emotional moments and hype scenes with Rock Lee vs Gaara , they are one of the best IMHO and that's why I still have xZabuzax in m name, even though it's a mediocre anime I respect Naruto for those moments that I enjoyed)

03 - Attack on Titan (My 2nd best anime, it has nice emotional moments and a really good OST in those scenes and hype moments, the best emotional moment happened in the 1st episode IMHO with Eren's mom at the ending, that scene always makes me tear up and I re-watched it dozens of times)

04 - Bleach (another mediocre anime but it has some nice OST in the emotional moments as well)

05 - ReZero (It's an ok anime but the OST is amazing and the OST in the emotional moments are extremely good too)

06 - Rurouni Kenshin (The emotional moments are ok, but this anime has the best OST around in the anime industry, period, the OST in Rurouni Kenshin from the Anime, OVA, Movies, etc... is extremely underrated, this anime has the best OST around IMHO and the sad, emotional OST are extremely good too)

If Made in Abyss have these types of OST in the emotional moments then I will definitely enjoy those moments a lot more, the animes I mentioned have the type of OST that I enjoy in the emotional moments and if an OST is not up to those standards then I may not enjoy the emotional moments that much.

Don't know if you will read that wall of text but that's my opinion of the things I love in OST and emotional moments.

From here on out, Made in Abyss is going to get weirder. Hell a lot of interesting though! Anime watchers, if you cannot wait for next week already? The Manga is always there for you to check out and see what will happen further! I guarantee to read it! You'll be surprised by the difference of the size of the Turbinid Dragon in the manga compared to the anime adaptation ;)

So they stayed all in the present this episode. Makes sense. I feel there is a still a bunch they need to tell in the present before they jump back to continue the flashback arc. It's been a while since I read the early chapters of the 6th layer arc, but I don't think there was anything obviously wrong or messed up. This was pretty good.

One of the things I noticed with the OP was the color of all the villages creatures (at least prominent ones that actually do something in the story). I feel I had a different image of their color palette in my head. I can't quite remember if they were every shown with color in the manga but it threw me off a little.

Riko sending the mail from the 6th layers had me confused. She is clearly confident there is a path for the mail to reach the surface but isn’t the 5th layer the sea? I’m not even sure what the area between the 5th and 6th layer looks like.

Also, Reg mentions that the mysterious building they are entering looks like a large carcass but it just looks like a large stem from outside. Is there a photo showing the full form of that structure?

The mail can cross the sea of corpses. It's very hard, which makes mail from 6th layer very rare, but it happens.

As much as I like Made in Abyss, this season already had a number of unappetizing things.

First Riko pooping in the "elevator" in episode 1, in this episode someone put hair in the bloody ass of a chicken and sewed it shut, I mean seriously wtf!? You don't get such ideas out of nowhere. Fortunately the setting is really interesting so I can ignore that the author is a pervert.

'relevant to the story', technically it's season 1.5. Season 2 is a sequel to the film, not to season 1. The film is essentially eps 14-19 of Season 1, only with far superior production values


What I was saying is that the order is season 1 -> 3rd movie -> season 2, which I think is the same what you're telling me here.
Although I don't know what you mean by the film being eps 14-19 of season 1, since the 3rd movie didn't cover anything that we've already seen in season 1. Unless you're talking about one of the other two movies?

Have you watched the third movie? It's the direct prequel to this season and absolutely relevant to the story. If you haven't already, definitely watch it!


I did watch it, I just forgot. I remember they fought the helmet guy and all and the kid there. Was she the one who transformed and if so who is the pink creature then?


Yeah, Prushka was the daughter of Bondrewd (helmet guy) that got stuffed into the cartridge and who then turned into the white stone that Riko is now carrying. Meinya is the flying animal and was Prushka's pet but is now accompanying Riko's group. The pink creature is Nanachi who went with Riko and Reg at the end of season 1, whose friend Mitty got turned into that blob thanks to Bondrewd that was terminated by Reg at the end of season 1.

id give it 4.9/5 . the animals the scenery were on point . the plot twist and suspense are killing me + the music is best .
the highlights of the episode are :
1) rikos letter scene
2) bridge scene
3) the theif

(spoiler) it'd have been flawless execpt for these 3 moments
1) the team escape from geo thermal vents didn't felt smooth at a moment they were running from volcanos next moment they are next to a water fall.
2) rikos panic for her White whistle wasn't properly shown (it was way too fast + no expression).
3) Majika's introduction the team should have shown a bit more uncomfort while meeting majika + majika coming out of the village and talking smooth & straightforward to the team is just a bit too rushed .


The nonchalant/inconsistent attitudes & reactions of the kids in the face mindblowing entities, is what really irks me about this series & this franchise in general.

The non-reaction to the colossal seahorse-dragon hybrid, and as you alluded to, the mild reaction to finding a city of demons inside of a gargantuan flesh tree, the entrance of which is adorned with human body parts, etc. Their reactions are somewhat more severe in the manga, but still not to where they should be, so that the audience can really feel the dread & awe of what they (we) are witnessing


I think that's a good example of well used plot convenience , what makes this series good is the awe , the child's eye view & nostalgia , it feels like being on some safari trip minus safety measures+ reserving the horrified expression till later on helps.
Now on why this works for audiences / most of the audience accepts it easily beacuse :-
1) character design :- makes it look less terrifying
2)they are kids + reg is an aubade
3) the Sol aesthetic kind of gives a false plot armour , the feeling of nothing bad can happen

Prushka is introduced in the 3rd movie. It should be warched before this current season.

I love how casually Reg saves his danger-prone idiot of a companion from falling down. That edible egg though ... I like chicken but certainly not one that can move after being cooked.

Wouldn't be surprised if all those strange CGI creatures were the people we were shown in the flashback. Its just MIA things.

New OP is fine but the ED is really good.

They took the elevator too, it was in the middle of ancient temple that idofront was later build on, and the place where riko took a dump had a narehate with a white whistle sitting there.

all of that was shown in ep1 flashback, although rather quickly so you might have missed it or misunderstood it

But, my God, I love Nanachi so much. She's so adorable and fluffy. And, her voice is so precious as well. LOL. Regu and Riko are adorable as well but as much as Nanachi. I hope they get Prushka back.

Well... there's a giant hole, as it's the same path the Sphere took to travel between 5th and 6th layer.

And looks like the truth about "never return" isn't actually cause they can't travel above.

But rather the curse changes their appearance to non-humans and can't be reversed.

(tho... I guess they also somehow can now live forever?) (it's been how long since the group we've saw in ep 1 til now?)

I'ma bit repetitive at this point but I cannot help but say it. The world building is absolutely astonishing. I cannot think of any other tv series of the last two decades that has created such an immersive and belieavable world. Simply amazing.
Regardless of sawn butts or not, lol.
