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!


'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

didn't look at the OP Visual, i'm scared of spoiler so just listen to it.

that thing still moved after boiled? ew so disgusting...

what are these mysterious creatures, i'm so curious.


I'll say this: I'm a manga reader, and I fast forwarded through it. I personally don't want to spoil any of the visuals, even though I know what takes place. I watched it for the first few seconds & saw some stuff that I know that I want to wait to see.

It was mysterious for all the things that happened to them while they were sleeping but seems like it's because of these weird creatures from the village (I love the ambiance!) though it's not reassuring at all especially after that last sentence, they will have to change their bodies to escape the village??? :o

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 .

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?

See ? This is the part, this is what made this manga shine the most, just adventuring and exploring the abyss, discovering new life the deeper you go, dealing with the environment and or trying to survive in it ... And not getting stuck in some back ass village for half an eternity.

Also no pooping this week ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


The manga was about to be axed before mitty/bondoldo/nanachi arc. In other words, what makes manga shine and sell, is suffering.

For all that they were chasing a stalker and thief, this was a relatively laid-back and low stakes episode. So of course they just had to throw in that ominous ending line...

Also, I wonder if Reg will be able to reattach his other hand at some point. Got to be awkward carrying it around, even if he can still use its grappling function it has to be weaker than before. Hopefully there are some tools in this village.

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 actually like that element to it. The world they live in is so fucked that things that should horrifically scar them barely register as shocking. Nanachi specifically has participated in countless children being ripped apart, so it's kinda hard to imagine her being phased by anything.

Made in Abyss really takes fantasy to the next level. We're not going to fight a demon lord, and nothing is glorified. Really great episode, especially with the little voice over at the end.

this is true, and I can see that aspect to it (the world of Orth/the Abyss is a fantastical realm, after all), but the scope of that dragon, for example.... i dunno, i just feel like there should've been more shock & awe... and not just, "oh...hmm, better avoid that dragon that is as big as the Sears Tower.....). It reduces the impact upon the audience of witnessing such a creature for the first time

Now this is more like it. The whole episode just showed the main trio, and didn't show that other group from the past. Their adventuring in the Golden City has begun.

Oh, and those human parts we kept seeing are probably from that group from the past.

Not only the characters, but the Ganja Corps arc in general is infinitely more interesting & compelling than anything involving the central trio. Belafu alone possesses more fascinating depth than Riko & Nanachi combined. If anything, it was quite disappointing that they couldn't continue the parallel narratives, but I understand why they will have to take a little break from the Ganja arc.

yep. there really isn't anything else like it in contemporary fiction. It's so deeply rooted in "western"-style fantasy world-building aesthetics & narratives/storytelling a la Baum/CS Lewis/Lovecraft, and that is what really solidifies & strengthens it's appeal. It's rooted in Japan, naturally, but it's leanings & it's tendencies skew toward Oz, Narnia, etc, much like Ghibli's do

I can think of a few anime entities that invoke a somewhat similar sense of wonder/yearning to know more about the fictitious universe, ie: 'Haibane Remnai', 'Angel's Egg', first season of 'Promised Neverland', 'A Tree Of Palme', 'Ghost Hound', perhaps 'Den-noh-Coil' (I would have *loved* to have seen what Mitsuo Iso could've done with MiA, rather than Kojima), and a handful of others that I am presently blanking on, but nothing that has ever gone as fearlessly balls deep as MiA does into fleshing out it's world

As quality art & media in general are rapidly falling off of a cliff/going the way of the dinosaurs, MiA stands alone as the last of a dying breed, and as one of the best fictional realms ever devised

Also, where did the Pruchuska whistle go?? why was it taken and why did this new creature not tell them directly? So fucking creepy

Don't worry, stuff like this happens with any new anime. But most people don't assign a score to any anime before it's finished airing. So after it's finished , we'll get the true score. But honestly I feel like it will stay around the current score or higher since manga readers have praised thia arc a lot.

Ah yes, what I love most about the series, the exploration. Still thinking how insanely cool it would be to implement the concept of the abyss into a game.

Golden Kamuy 🤝 Made in Abyss, eating some gross ass looking food. Those Mizojack eggs reminded me of balut, which is a Philippine dish lmao.

Oh God, a place full of Mitty's, though they look like they're in better condition, and can speak sort of, like Nanachi. Can't wait for the next episode.

so far i like the extra bits of world building they've added from the manga. the anime really shines when taking the scenes slowly to let the viewer soak in this new world.
amazing shots and music to.

i dont quite remember the creepy hair animals but prushka is somewhere safe.

i hope that reg will get his arm back

and finally a glimpse of the ends on the bridge.

Stuff like this made me believe the score doesn't make sense. Of course, if a show is highly rated it means it is universally praised, but that doesn't mean the top 10 show is better than the top 11.

Meinya was the animal that helped Prushka and Riko go up the stairs when they were staying with Bondrewd. Prushka was Bondrewd’s daughter that he turned into a cartridge but Your Worth was left and Riko kept it.
