| I'm a little upset I slept on this great show for years, but I'm also a little grateful because the second season is already out. While it had its heart-wrenching moments, it is still not as traumatizing as Berserk. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Great episode! I cried when I saw Mitty's past T_T. I can't believe those people made the children guinea pigs, how many are not suffering. Finally Riko, she still knew that there was someone there even though she didn't see it. 9/10 |

| What a ride this adventure has been. The adventure aspect of the anime was great overall with sad and happy scenes and all and the whole Nanachi and Mitty story when they're still human were pretty heartbreaking to watch through. |

| aaagggggGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THATS SO DUMMMMBBBBBBBBB I BET THEY COULDVE SAVED HER............................................................................................................... WHY WOULD YOU GIVE UP...................................................... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THATS SO DUMB YOU IDIOT NANACHI WHATS WRONG WITH YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU tukusi akihito you monster what the heck is wrong with you |

| MITTY!!! That was one sad backstory. The studio made the right descision extending the runtime of the episode this time. Mitty's send off was masterfully done as well. The music, voice acting and everything was perfect. When Nanachi was crying and called Mitty her treasure, I knew, this is a great anime. |

| Seeing Mitty killed in such a peaceful place surrounded by stuffed animals was so bittersweet, it made me tear up. It felt like seeing a sick dog being put down. That along with the final sequence of the balloon going up was phenomenal. I don't normally notice the soundtrack of an anime but the songs present all throughout this show were so good, especially the one at the end of this episode, it gave me goosebumps. This is one of the best anime episodes I have ever seen. It's that good. |
| The Anime is beautiful, truly. The music, the writing, the world. This last episode really got to me, I was crying like a baby. I'm rating the first season a 9/10, it would be a 10/10 if it wasn't for the authors tendency to sexualise children... It's really fucking strange to be honest, and it makes me sad that both the anime and manga have be stained by this. Putting that aside though, the story, animation, characters and music are amazing. |
| Obviously the extent of Mitty's sapience is hard to verify, and both her intellect and ability to communicate were either presumably or demonstrably inhibited by the degradation of her form; however, even the remaining basal consciousness of hers, flashbacks to her brief friendship with Nanachi and her symbolic appearances in Riko's dream did a lot to endear even considering Mitty's relative lack of screentime. Have to praise the sentimental appeal there, because it's hard for many series to pull this off for recently introduced characters without seeming abrupt, and thus ineffective. This is excellent stuff so far. I don't really have any resounding complaints with it, outside of a few questions about Reg's composition as a lifeform, or Riko's varying levels of competence in dealing with the Abyss. There was a real effort to invest in fleshing out an already workable premise by spacing out both the action and the downtime to maximise immersion into the world itself, and it never faltered when it came to characterisation of even those who only had side roles in an episode or two. That the Abyss is presented more as a dynamic environment wherein its respective layers all impact/interact with each-other—rather than some on-rails episodic amusement park with merely linear progression from top to bottom—makes it come across as a lived in world as well. |

| wrapped up so perfectly it was a masterpiece cant wait to see what follows |
| I would say this show could be used as a psychopathy test. Anyone who watches up to episode 13 and doesn't feel any emotion can be immediately labelled a psychopath. Episode 13 is like fucking black magic that will make anyone with emotions cry. |
 |
| I first watched this anime four years ago, but I forgot just how heartbreaking Mitty and Nanachi's backstory was. Definitely made me tear up a little. As for my review... what a masterpiece, still easily 10/10 as I originally rated it back then. The characters, world-building and soundtrack are absolutely incredible. |
