Made In Abyss: The Longest and Most Annoying Bodyguard Quest in the History of Anime
I'm a bit conflicted after finishing this anime. On the one hand, there are a good many positive things about it, such as the art and the lore behind the world. On the other, there is one huge blemish that greets you in almost every single episode: the main heroine, Riko.
Riko is stupid, stubborn, weak, rash, impatient, almost useless, self-destructive, and utterly dependent on other people for her mere survival. And yet, she is trust up front and center and demands your attention and investment. She is

Let's get the unavoidable out of the way: this was not the best. The story was way too fast paced and cobbled together. The story was filled to the brim with every hero cliche imaginable. The characters were quite bland and predictable. Many plot points were pulled out of several different asses.

The story is just barely holding itself together with "demonoids" and "politics" but in reality nothing of note happens.
