| This show was a very strange one, in terms of enjoyment, to me. I came into this with a LOT of expectations, and at first, I mean the first 4 episodes, I was just there, very suprised about the art, waiting for this to take off and see where everyone was apparently sold so much, but then episodes 5-9 came about, and I was uncertain. I really didn't know what to make of it, some more things happened and I thought if that was the shit hitting the fan that everyone was talking about, and I couldn't believe that that was the reason behind a MAL score of almost 9.00... I became then unsatisfied. Then episodes 10-13 came about, and man were they different from any previous ones. Episode 10 made me cringe in pain, and episode 13... Made me weep badly. I just can't exactly remember the last time I cried so badly watching an anime. Maybe the last one was AIR, but that was back in 2014... 4 years ago... I had to give the anime an 8 just for the last episode. All in all I got that the whole series was all just a big build-up for other things to come later, exactly like a slow 2-cour series is, just that the second cour is gonna be a little late. |
| Could've done without the kiddy romance and trap. Only reason to watch s2 would be for Nanachi and her story. |
| Great show and interesting story but there is one thing that bothers me which is Riko's personality. she seems unfazed by whatever is fed to her ear from her mother being dead or seeing her mother in her hallucination like it is yeah ok hello mom...maybe because she is resurrected or some sort of a curse happened to her. solid 9/10. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| Pretty good. Certainly not a high 8 or 9. Lots of cheap tactics used, really they went through the whole book of how to bring about emotions. One big thing being the fact that they are children. Simply just swapping the characters with adults would severely reduce the emotional impact of this show. I have a lot to say about this but it's 3 am and I can't elaborate all that well at the moment. So in order to judge this show objectively, you must remove the fact that they are kids and cute small animals. What are we left with? It's an engaging and interesting world that keeps you intrigued. The pacing and story telling is pretty good. The emotional stuff is nothing new, lots of cliches there. The strongest point of Made in Abyss is the world building, which I would like to see developed further... without the sappy stuff. 7 /10. I really can't give it to them, too many cheap tactics used. Cheap doesn't mean bad, it just means easy. I am not interested in easy, I want something more nuanced than "cute things being hurt". But for what it's worth, I enjoyed it overall. For the world building alone I can't give it anything less than a 7. |

| Re-watching Made in Abyss and just realized that I haven't said anything yet. This is one of the few shows that I can give a resounding 10/10. Amazing. The animation, sound, story, characters. Addictive and wonderful. I am really happy that there will be a second season I just hope we won't have to wait too long for it. |
| I'm glad I ended up finishing this series months later. Pleasantly surprised. |

was not ready for dis |
| Bondrewd's true nature is now revealed for all to see. The best dad ever thinks that he's doing them a favor by making those kids practically immortal and still continues to conduct his experiments on them. The end can't really justify the means here, not at all. Mitty and Nanachi's bond was something that made me tear up to the end. Putting her down was tough, meng ;-; At least her soul had finally rest in peace. And by doing so, Mitty even saved Riko who in turn gave them good food, calming reassurances, and the will to go on. That lewd fluffy rubbing and sexual tension-filled bath scene gave me quite the chuckle. I really liked seeing the preparations they did before going further down. I'll have to say that this last episode's quality caused me to finally nudge up the score I was about to give to a 10 ♥ Since the art was beautiful throughout, the music was great, the characters were much fun to be with, and the world there is interesting, it's not so unjustified that I call this a masterpiece~ |
 |
| So, I liked Bondrewd. He was a cool villain and possibly the coolest character on the show, once you get past his experiments and all that. FMA:B again(Child experiments and 2 people experimented and what not?). But I don't care much now for that. However, if you just slow down during the moment of Milly's death, you can hear her whisper "Milly" instead of her usual sound. Let that sink in. This scene. In an anime, always beware a Genki Girl. They are known to die in such unusual manners. Like Sayori from DDLC, Maes Hughes and Nina Tucker from FMAB and so on and so forth. Atleast the usagi got a good meal after a long time. The naked bath scenes of lolis did it for me. This is just a happy go series pretending to be gory for me. Score: 5/10. Quite predictable series and didn't live up to my expectations. No reliable ending either. And we are left with a bunch of questions. I think they will be resolved in their own time. Nothing is bothering me however except ..... HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET AWAY WITH COPYING A FMA:B ARC AND NOT GET SUED FOR IT? THAT'S GOT TO BE ILLEGAL IN 198 COUNTRIES. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Great show! 10/10 from me. If the manga has more chapters available I might start reading that. Made In Abyss kind of reminds me of Ni no Kuni with the 'missing mom.' I like adventure/drama series a lot. |
| 10/10 Series. I've started reading the Manga, and ooh boy, does it get....well, lets just say BonDad is best ;^) Can't wait for the next season. |
| RIP Mitty! I honestly cried... Well, that was quite the journey, and we're nowhere near the ending. I look forward to what season 2 will bring. Hopefully, we'll get a release date soon cause I really enjoyed this anime. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
dariken said: 10/10 Even with unfinished storyline, it's 10/10. Ultra rare for me to give any show that doesn't wrap story up completely this rating. I'm in the same situation! For the stellar storytelling I had to give out a 10, it's now or never amirite? Holy hell, I can't believe this show had so much raw power. This show absolutely blew me away which for me is indicative of a masterpiece. |
   |
| I was super engaged in this last arc and all, but I honestly didn't get as emotionally attached to this as I thought I would. Which is super weird, because normally I cry over waaaay lighter stuff, but whatever. It was still hard to watch! Loved the setting, soundtrack and ESPECIALLY design of the characters. Definitely gonna read the manga in the near future, from what I've seen the artstyle is freaking mad out there, looks even more impressive than in animated form! Btw - Nanachi might be cool and all, but still best girl title belongs to Ouzen easily, she stole my heart, I miss her so muuuuch~ Not my favourite adventure series, but I had great time watching it, and gladly will check out the sequel! 8/10  |
  |
| What a horrible story for Mitty and the other kids. |
| So I finally got around to watching this show. Glad I did. It was good but I was not blown away so I feel all the hype it got while airing was a bit misplaced. Riko was a little to dumb and naive of an MC for my liking (your mileage may vary.) Those last 3 episodes tho. Wow. A lot of very intense moments. Overall a very enjoyable series and I hope we get more in the future. Plus the music score was great too. Favorite Characters: Ozen & Nanachi |
| Finally finished. This series was a fun watch, although I still do not see why it gets such a high rating. Those last three episodes in contrast to the rest was very good. Tbh I became more interested in Nanachi's story than the actual main one. Riko is an annoying main protagonist, and Reg is pretty useless for what he can do. Then again, they are just kids. Nanachi easily my favorite character. Still deciding between 7 or 8 for this show. It would have been a 7 but those last three episodes are making me think otherwise. Great show, glad I watched! |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| It clearly paints itself a second season, oh my 10/10 |
| But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. |
Worst moment ever |
| couldnt really get in to MIA. as the bestest mofoing daddy in the world, seeing kids go through that is painful. pretending they were hobbits (like naruto) wasnt enough to quell my guilt. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| Not really a tearjerker for me, but story-wise this is the saddest i've ever watched. Not even anohana, sakurasou, angel beats, fairy tail the cringy, naruto, or even clannad can rival this anime. (anything i missed?) Hope there'll be a season 2 but i don't really know what to expect (never follows the original source, manga is it?) |
| I liked this show immensely although the 13th episode was pretty sad. I'm anxiously waiting for a 2nd season to materialize. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| One of the best season finale I've ever seen, it was hard, emotionnal, and heartwarming. I thought the show was a bit boring for the majority of the season. Beautiful, but too contemplative for my taste. Then ep. 10 happened and suddently I cared way more about what was happening, and from there it was absolutly glorious. 9/10 will watch season 2 |
| I haven’t been this invested in a show for awhile. This final episode managed to bring all the feels. Personally Ricko isn’t my ideal main character to follow, but now since Nananachi has joined I can’t wait for season 2. |
| pretty much skipped through the entire first half-hour. Didnt give two shits about furry blob girl's backstory. Just incinerate the damn thing It was an okay show; but kinda mediocre ending; I wouldnt mind if this gets a 2nd season, as long as it does end at that point. Theyre more than halfway to the bottom, assuming there arent more layers than what has been mapped. 6/10 for me. The show's kinda overrated from what most people say. It was a good story, but not the most engaging; it was just kinda chill. And on the other hand, there are some people who say "the first 4 episodes were amazing, and the rest was boring." I disagree with this also. I felt like the series had a consistent quality the whole way through. As for the story, it flat out tell what adventure they going on, and they do it. And there was an even balance between the downward exploration and the two resting points. |

papsoshea said: I began watching this series because someone mentioned it in one of Goblin Slayer discussion pages while I was enjoying reading your (exchange of) arguments in the forum.That was a really good episode, even though it was 40 minutes it felt less than that. Can't wait for the next season. It turned out really great for me. This series offers everything I couldn't get from Goblin Slayer. Now it got me thinking whether I should start reading the manga... 🤔 |
I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |

The reason it's emotional is BECAUSE of the backstory. You might as well have not watched the show at all if you were so willing to skip important parts. |

You might as well have not watched the show at all if you were so willing to skip important parts. Yeah, no, sorry, it wasnt "sad" or "emotional" at all. It was just annoying to watch something that was obvious. It doesnt bother me if you introduce a new character in the last few episodes of a show and then kill her off a few episodes later. But expecting me to have feelings for that character is just tasteless to watch. If you want me to care about a new character that we havent invested any time with, dont bother doing it with a boring super-long flashback. "important parts" lmao Again, I didnt hate the show; I enjoyed it; just didnt like the ending |

| What a descent that has been. Season 2 where?? |
| Last couple episodes were great! I think Nanachi and Midi are good characters, almost wish there was more about them. I don't like Riko and Reg that much, that's what weakens the show for me a bit. Too much wailing and cliche boring romance... hope next season will have them be a little tougher and focus more on the plot/abyss. |
