| The overall final impression is great, but there's no denying that the first half of the series was far, far less interesting than the rest of it. It's not just Nanachi in my opinion, it's the darker turn the story took around the time they met Ouzen that made it much better and saved the manga, if such rumours are true. |
| OH MY GOD! 2 episode special! everyone will rage if no S2! If episode 10 was already hard to watch, this episode 13 is totally on a different league! I actually cried when Nanacchi cried after Reg incinerated Mitty that was SO SAD!!! The part where Mitty changed in to an abomination was to cruel to watch! Riko finally woken-up and is already buddies with Nanacchi. Looks like the three is now ready to embark another adventure with all those preparations! 10/5! 9/10! damn 8.78 top 31 already!?!? For me, this is my AOTS! |
 |
| This last episode sure packed a big punch, however I cant forgive the countless boring fillers we were presented week after week. This show could have been more with better pacing, but as it is I cant give more than 5/10 overall. |
| Holy shit . . . I didn't expect a 45min episode... ...and this was the best finale i have seen for an anime in a very long time. I am at a loss for words, though it was so well tied up that i can safely say it's completely self-explanatory, and showing. Definitely a 9/10. (the post above me pretty much sums it up) |

| I cried so much during this episode, more than I did throughout the entirety of Clannad and Angel Beats. I was at a loss for words when it ended. The music was perfect, the emotion put into every scene was just right. I was hit the hard with the way Nanachi's treasure was keeping her alive, while simultaneously destroying her, and her dialogue made it clear she was planning on killing herself very soon after Mitty died. As for the show, it's easily a 10/10. Even with some parts I didn't particularly care for (bit too slow in the middle portion at the second layer), this show is wonderfully crafted. Beautiful art, amazing music, and the characters and dialogue are handled with such care that I rarely ever see other shows do. A welcome addition to my favorites. I really hope the sales of this show turn out to be good, and it continues into another season. It really deserves it. |

| the series is aptly named "made in abyss" considering riko was born in abyss and reg came from abyss the only one who was not from abyss is nanachi but then again in a way nanachi got remade by those horrible experiments inside the abyss(note to self : stop thinking of Bondrewds experiment before having a seizure) |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| Well, that was sad. I like how Nanachi hesitated before giving Reg the go-ahead. It bugs the hell out of me, though, that the author keeps bringing up how Riko pees herself. Is it an attempt to make the story more realistic and mature, or just some fetish? When in the previous episodes Nanachi kept repeating that she had bled from her genitals, I felt like this thing was going over the line. Then there's the implication that Reg had an erection, which feels pretty inappropriate as well. Sure, children aren't exactly oblivious to such things, but still. Maybe it's just one of those artistic choices that I just don't understand. I'm reminded of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, where REAL kids touch each other as a plot point of sexual awakening. Still creeps me the fuck out. |
| uh oh! |
| wow that was amazing and damn i wantedto see what was in that bag |
 |
| Ahhh, I wasn't overly enamoured with the 1st 3 eps, but this series was so good and a definite 10/10. The world building and art was beautiful. The soundtrack was incredible, and the characters felt so real. There has to be a S2! |

| Wow.. how many years has it been since a single episode managed to hit me so hard emotionally. Mitty's transformation scene actually made me reel from the horror infused in that scene. Not that much due to the gore but more on how the characters must be feeling during that moment. The entire last scene with Mitty made me realize how much these characters made you invest into them with just so few episodes. That went right through the heart. |
 |
| Nanachi and Mitty's backstory, which I (unfortunately) knew about before watching, is extremely straightforward and basic; almost such that you can bash it for being too obvious / one-dimensional. But nobody can, since, well, it's so powerful. Did get the feeling that it's a little rushed though. Anyway, I have a no crying policy...or tendency while enjoying any kind of media, and I'd have to admit that I went the closest to that since I heard Blackstar for the first time last year. I think I used that sentence quite recently, but cos I can't remember when I did so presumably this exceeded that particular moment. Nothing much to say about the rest of the show that hasn't been already said. 8/10, probably will be AOTY |
| This was amazing! The anime surprised me, one of the best finals I've seen in my life! OST Epic! I didn't know if I was crying watching the episode or if I laughed at being fooled by the apparent fantasy story with children. |
 |
| This serie wasn't anything special, excessively slow paced and predictable, censored, and nothing really happened apart the last 3 episodes. The sad part is that the best action arc start now, unfortunately it was the last episode. >_> I've read the manga till chapter 42, and i can say that the manga is much better compared to the anime. For this episode 4/5, probably the best of the serie, overall 5/10. |

| From all the airings I have seen this year so far, this was my favorite, the first episodes were kinda slow, but later on, it really become something worth waiting weekly, that coming from someone that doesnt like to see airing stuff (prefer batch) means this series really had to be compelling to keep my interest. It surely only got darker and more mysterious, the MC cast werent that interesting but the later developmente surely helped making both enjoyable, Nanachi was the true star here. While the OP & ED wasnt much to fret about, there were some really beautiful tracks for this series, gotta go grab the OST for sure! 45 minutes for the final episode made sense for what they wanted to adapt, making this whole episode way longer, but with a pacing that really nailed the whole reveal and development for Nanachi and Mitty, I shed some manly tears there. Nicely done to the studios, you can easily see they loved doing the project. S2 will be nice but I will probably dig into the manga way before that. 8.9/10 |
 |
| Holy shit ... this episode ... I cried ... Mitty ! q.q Hopefully it will get a 2nd season. :) |
 ~Mirror, tell me something~ |
| My god...I must have used up half of a tissue box during this episode. I wasn´t sure how I was gonna rate this show in the end (was thinking about 9/10 so far), but this masterpiece of a episode just completely destroyed me. This show is going into my favorites no matter what, and I don´t think I will be able to hold myself back from starting the manga asap. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| Great show, and easily AOTS for me. The characters,mystery, the OST, the visuals, the feeling of exploration and the sense of dread that comes with the journeying into the unknown and the overall adventure. This show hits all my personal likes. The chances are slim but I'm hoping for a S2 down the line when there's enough material to adapt. |
| This final episode was excellent beyond a doubt. I haven't cried like that watching anime in a long time. This show as a whole was outstanding. The character designs (which were what initially piqued my interest), the background art, the world design, and the music come together flawlessly to produce a magnificent spectacle propelled further by a compelling and gratifying narrative. ... The ONLY thing wrong with the show is that the mangaka is clearly a closeted pedophile. |
Sn0Wman said: It felt like Nanachi should have been the protagonist. Reg is ok but Riku feels totally bland and even inhuman compared to the other two. You need to understand that without Riko, this group would essentially fall apart. Riko is Reg's mental fortitude of the series and Nanachi's optimistic view that helped her from offing herself especially with a fucked up tragic past like hers. I can't tell you what Riko witnesses later within the next arc, but a strong majority would've lost hope or gone insane after seeing how truly horrifying the abyss is and what it does to people who challenge it. Basically, her "happy go lucky" attitude is what keeps the "childish" aspect of the anime still going or else this would've turned into a story of miserable suffering of children as they go deeper. |

| Simply amazing. This is the reason why I watch anime. AOTS and possibly AOTY Now we just need the anouncement of season 2 |

| Almost perfect adaptation with pacing being only problem, but it was understandable due to limited number of episodes. Kaze_Kitsune said: Yeah I know, I was just being inflammatory. I've tried to make actual, decent points in this thread and just tired of how toxic the fan base for this show is. Probably won't respond anymore as I have made my points. You realize all big fanbases are toxic? OPM's is very cancerous. Like 90% of it are anime-only retards who can only spam Saitama vs Goku/Allmight/etc thread over and over. qetou said: Just checked made in abyss wiki and it says there that Nanachi is a girl. Always thought he was a boy lol. Wiki is wrong. Tsukushi said on twitter that Nanachi's gender is a mystery. pickypicnic said: How many times must we see the little girl piss herself? The author is a fucking sicko, that's for sure. Her suffering never ends |
 |
We definitely need another season of this... |

'Cause it's natural. Think that if they were in the wilds, they couldn't be too far apart (as it'd be dangerous). |
| Best anime of the year so far |
| Nanachi and Mitty's story was really sad to watch. Mitty dying was depressing af! I really hope this gets another season. |
 |
| This just feels like one of those "once in 5 years" anomalies that bring anime to an unusually high level. Everything about this show was done as well as you can hope for in an anime, and I love that they didn't pull any punches considering the inherent risk of the adventure. Easy 10/10 for me, I haven't been this captivated by an anime since Ping Pong. |
 |
| 10/10 for me too. This was such a wonderful surprise. Hopefully it garnered enough attention to get a second season. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| Oh wow. I love it when the last episode is also the best episode in what was already a really good anime. All these feels. I hope they make a second season. |
 |
| I was sure my AOTS is Isekai Shokudou, but this came out of nowhere... 10/10 - definitely an AOTY candidate |
NNick said: Which chapter of manga should I read to continue from where this show left? You can start from chapter 26. I started reading last night and it was amazing. Can't wait for season 2. |
| isi 9/10, considering every aspects of the show |
| While you shitpost about other taste, i watch or read stuff :D |
| Need season 2 right now. Wow, those experiments looks like some weird Nazi stuff. This white whistle is insane. RIP Mitty. Solid 8/10 IMO. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Currently my runner-up to Rakugo season 2 for AOTY. 9/10 |
| Mitty, it was sad when she was killed ; _ ; |
| Holy shit what a fuckin finale, it's been a long time since a show made me cry like a bitch. Definitely surpassed every expectation i had, especially the last 4 episodes goddamn they were perfect. 9/10 Easily one of the best, if not THE best show this year. |
| Worth the watch until the end. Bless this show. |
