| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now we're finally reaching the juicy part of the series. This episode is the reason why some people started calling this Suffering in Abyss and the adaptation didn't disappoint me at all. It did justice to the manga or even better with the music and overall atmosphere throughout the episode. Episode ended with the introduction of Nanachi the furry Narehate (or Hollow as the translation goes)  |

| I though Berserk was going on a hiatus? What was up with this episode seriously? 5/7 |
 |
| So they did it, i'm glad that anime adaptation keep the brutality from the manga. Manga |
 |
| Finally, Nanachi Shown up in this episode lol And This Episode is Intense |

| Oh this episode was so intense, great that they didn't shy away from showing blood and disturbing scenes. Also cool that we finally got to see Nanachi and I have a very positive first impression of her. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty thrilling episode. It goes to show just how dangerous that layer is already. They made Riko suffer this episode and it employed a great amount of psychology into her character as she dealt with the pain, both physically and mentally. One other thing I think this episode did really well is to show how much human Reg has become. When Riko was suffering, he really cried and didn't want to lose her while feeling helpless. Glad to see Nanachi showing up this episode. (I like the voice acting tbh, really makes the character sound real) |
 |
| At this pace the adaptation will need a second season. Nanachi is here finally!!! |
| It's getting darker |
| I like bad endings |
| Oh boi, I felt so bad while waching Riko suffering :( Finally best girl Mod Edit: Removed reference to modified post. |

| I felt like puking and had my hand up in front of my face during the suffering scene... i knew this was coming but oh boy that was way too intense! great episode i have never been more anxious in my life! looking forward to what's gonna happen next! :D |
| that episode felt like it was five minutes long my poor baby riko. the voice acting from both my children was flawless. i love them so much. please dont suffer anymore. nanachi seems really nice. shes v cute. |
| Wow... I did not need the stress from this episode right now XD But this is getting so good, if there was any doubt before that this was AotS, it should be pretty thoroughly gone now. Small question, one that I don't want to see anything beyond what has been explicitly said in the anime already, NO SPOILERS: Didn't they mention the word "Hollow" previously? I feel like I remember them saying it before, but I don't remember when it was or what they said... Or I could just be crazy. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| That was pretty vomit inducing but i didn't even feel bad for Riko because i am just pissed helpless 12 years old kid goes to the Abyss (i don't care if it's "calling" her or whatever) Nanachi is cute. |
| The show went dark real quick. Honestly, it was hard watching Riko was suffer so much. Had to close my eyes a few times. And it was heartbreaking seeing Reg's reaction. ;-; This Nanachi character was finally introduced. A very cute character. Can't wait to see her in the next episode. |
 |
| Well. That was fucked up. Like incredibly so Almost made me feel a bit sick at times but damn that was intense o.o New girl finally shows up too |
  |
| Holy shit I can't remember the last time I felt this bad. That was amazingly done. |
| What the actual fuck was this episode??? |
| Hey, the "sleeping-bunny" girl finally appear But seems there's more another thing that really matters for now, Riko's condition... getting stabbed, poisoned, bleeding, then lose her hand. I know the Anime is kinda weird ever since she meet with Ozen, but never expected to be this creepy. The bleeding is feel normal but the moment Reg breaking Riko's bone... |

JestemGosiek said: After hearing about how dark manga can get I was sort of disappointed because of how kinda toothless some of the episodes seemed as the duo had no bigger problems while descending. But this episode. Wow. It made me cringe. I was so uneasy. I don't want to watch these kids suffer. I hope it won't be this bad later on. i have read the manga and all ill say to you is... its gonna get alot more f'ed up in the future |
Xeiros said: MistLiigh said: They did indeed mention it. It was in the scene just after the OP in Episode 3. Lyza uses the term when she gives her thoughts on the small boy following her around in her letter. Wow... I did not need the stress from this episode right now XD But this is getting so good, if there was any doubt before that this was AotS, it should be pretty thoroughly gone now. Small question, one that I don't want to see anything beyond what has been explicitly said in the anime already, NO SPOILERS: Didn't they mention the word "Hollow" previously? I feel like I remember them saying it before, but I don't remember when it was or what they said... Or I could just be crazy. YES! Thank you Xeiros! That rings a much clearer bell now, thank you! |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Things got dark really fast in this episode. That orbed-piercer was very dangerous. One of it's spikes got into Riko's hand and she was poisoned. I felt really bad for her. It was hard to watch her suffer. Reg's reaction was heartbreaking. Thankfully, someone with bunny ears took them to their hideout. |
 |
| This episode destroyed me. That monster had a pretty cool design, I did not expect it to be that intelligent. :o I just couldn't watch Riko and Reg suffering like that, damn it Riko why couldn't you have taken a safer position? :(( The voice acting was excellent, the pain was real. Riko's bleeding face and Reg crying, damn it was so hard to watch the suffering. Nanachi seems nice and interesting thing she said about the curse not being present, would that mean the curse has a physical form? |

| That was hard to watch. Really it was. I was cringing and squirming more than I would like throughout most of that. I just got out of seeing the new horror movie IT which never made feel as uncomfortable as watching Riko suffer so bad. |
| Holy fuck, this suffering is too perfect :D Great fuel for D&D. |
| Had to cringe so many times, it was gruesome. First steps into the 4th layer and already getting completely destroyed by that insane creature. The voice acting was amazing in this episode, you could feel the hearts breaking. Let's see what Nanachi has in store, we know she has very good equipment and whistles hanging in her house. And she's a hollow which will likely be explained next episode i assume. Holy fuck/10. |
| Ow. That is all I have to say. |
| I need sleep. |
| Wow, that was disgusting. But I'm glad that they finally suffer some consequences for their carelessness, that was needed. |
 |
| wow it got really serious there, that part of riko suffering was kinda sad and hard at the same time, thank god rikos arm wasnt cut. animation and ost amazing as always |
| When was the last time an anime scene left a scar in my heart? The episodes just keep gettin better. Anime of the Season. |
| And the anime of the Season can safely go to....! This was one of the most intense and thrilling anime episodes I've seen! Really loved it. Hope we can end the season at a good point. |
 |
| This episode turn a 9/10 into a 10/10 for me i was expecting it to be darker. it wasn´t that "dark" but instead felt really, but REALLY painful and I´m really indolent to suffering in anime. so the fact an anime can evoke that sensation was a big plus. |
| :v |
| This episode was hard to watch. Props to the VAs for pulling of those heart wrenching screams. |
 |
| Hey look at this cute looking anime Episode 10... |
| well this got so graphic...abysss is such a scary place...poor Riko |
 |
| After so much talk of how horrible and unforgiving a place like the Abyss is we finally got to see it in action. I'm looking forward to how this experience will change how Riko sees this death wish that she's set herself out on. This was easily the best episode of MiA, probably the best episode of this whole season. |
 |
| Tama-chan beast rekts riko and she gets poisoned into pain hell :'( Nananchi arrives and saves the day, reg didn't need to cut off riko's arm either. |
