| Good eps, somewhat better pacing than eps 4. Abyss monster cool, and they did show us some of their ecology; mostly Nakikabane. Incinerator blast was really cool, and that art is very pretty, waiting explanation about Reg's blast, how it work, and how to practices it. With Ozen and explorer camp in 2nd floor, I can confirmed this is what an Etrian Odyssey rip-off looks like. |
| Another great episode! The corpse weeper scene had me on the edge of my seat! Very intense! Great to see Reg use the 'incinerator' and his fear of using it in-case he hurts Riko. The nightmare was scary too. I get the impression that there's more violence and tragedy to come on this ruthless journey (no I haven't red the manga). I'm liking this series so much that I'm already hoping for another season. Urgh! The suspense of waiting for the next episode is killing me! kylian514 said: This episode was lit !! Does anyone know of animes of the same type that already have the complete first season released ? In terms of Reg's amnesia and going on a quest to try and discover the truth, that element of the plot is very similar to Kaiba. Like Made in Abyss, Kaiba is a mature story with a dark tone and tragedy, has its own unique animation style and a great soundtrack (including the OP). It's a cyberpunk series though so its a different genre to Made in Abyss. https://myanimelist.net/anime/3701/Kaiba |
Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| So it got relatively darker now. The first half was brutal. Makes me wonder if they'll really be lucky enough unscathed every time. Oh and I thought it was the black whistle waiting at the stopover? The one who helped carrying Riko along with Lyza to the surface. |
 |
| Boy, they're pretty casual about rotting corpses. |
 |
| that was awesome! |

Aidoru-Ojisan said: I still love this series to bits! Yet I'm worried by the scenes where Riko is half-naked is going to make some newcomers to the series be a little wary of that, I know it's not sexualized like how most trash Anime do with their under-aged Anime characters (aside from Reg, since we know that robot boi got a ding-a-ling lol) but man... I'm just worried, since I love this series so much and I want other people to watch it, if this keeps them away from it I dunno man, it's gonna suck badly Yeah it doesn't really bother me much as the show doesn't feel too sexual (except for that weirdass strung up naked scene lol) but it kind of makes me reluctant to recommend it to others who would otherwise probably like it alot. Hopefully it will kind of lighten up on stuff like that in the coming episodes |
| Cool episode. Whoever designs the creatures for this does a bang-up job. Those corpse-weepers were a compelling species. Very ominous. |

No offence. national geographic is educational. this is entertainment. of course entertainment can also be educational, but i highly doubt anyone's watching this show to learn about the human anatomy. what exactly does seeing the outline of a 12 year old girl's breasts add to a scene? other than giving paedophiles even more fap material? |

Dropping it because of THAT? Ok, she was nude. Ok, she's a little girl. But, 1. She's not a real human being and 2. There's literally nothing there. She's as washboard as washboard gets. I don't see the issue here. |

I don't see the issue here. I don't really see the issue with the fanservice of this series in general. Reg's fanservice has a comedy purpose. Riko's fanservice is not sexualized and doesn't really show that much. People are just overreacting and have to complain about something. Inb4 they are all watching Hajimete no Gal |
| What a wonderful episode! especially the unique concepts just like the inverted forest and the inverse waterfalls! That was an awesome incinerator blast by Reg!!! We're already at Ozen!? nice! 5/5. |
 |
| Lol, some people here are really special snowflakes. Get your life together. That's how human body looks like you stupid "I'm so sensitive" pussies. Another great episode. Abbys is no joke. To bad that this series has like 12-13 episodes. |

| Slightly better episode because has person got killed and has villain looking character at the end It is still an overrated show |

For me it feel natural, not sexualised and tame. Well at least you being civil about it. Also the anime you watch is pretty tame compare to MIA. If you find the nudity concerning than it's best for you to stop watching before you throw up. |

| I liked this episode very much as well! I wish they would've shown more of that forest, but hey they only got 20 mins. So I guess next episode we'll be introduced to some sort of villain? |

Meaning you look like you're being blinded by a single part you don't like. But it's your time, you decide how to use it. personally, when I first was reading this part in the manga all the smut was a bit turn off and felt not needed, and in the manga it gets more graphical. I even avoided this show for some time exactly for that reason, the sparce comments everywhere about the episodes were enough, they gave the idea of a cute show trying to gain some little shock value by adding vulgarity. But when I started reading the manga, as much as the gratuitous smut was there as expected, I couldn't stop reading until I caught up with it, so there is definitely more to it. But it's understandable how, given what was showed so far in the anime, there isn't a good counterweight to it yet. verdict: the nudity scenes are mostly unnecessary, and this isn't the end of it (the author seems to have some weird fetish), luckily the show has more to offer than just that, and the trade off seems positive for me. just noting, finally someone updated the rating of this show: this show is at least R, before it was marked as PG-13 and that was an Huge mistake of valutation from who submitted that. |

| wow cannibalistic philosophy -__- ew was it really neccessary to show Riko half-naked i wonder.... i wish they'd stop with that looking forward to the meeting with Ozen! |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Great episode as always. The environments looks stunning, the animation was so awesome this entire episode especially during the Incinerator scene. That corpse eater monster thing gave me chills for a second when Riko explained how they use the dead raider to attract more. Love the adventure and survival atmosphere this series gives off and I hope it continues this. Looking forward to the next episode and the meeting with Ozen |
 |
| I don't know what would Riko do without Reg. So a white whistle...interesting. |

JCvetich said: This. I have nothing more to addThis episode was okay. The creatures were cool, and the fight with the corpse-weepers was pretty awesome. Reg's use of his "incinerator" was neat. The past few episodes have just been missing something.... and I can't really put my finger on it. I went from feeling like this show was awesome, to feeling like it was just alright. I think part of it is the knowledge that there's only 13 episodes, so I feel like each episode has to be extremely important. That said, I guess I just haven't felt like enough important things have happened in the past few episodes. For instance, this episode really didn't reveal anything new. Reg used his "incinerator", but we didn't get any explanation of how or why he has it, why he can only use it occasionally, why it affected him the way it did, etc. I also feel like this show spends a lot of time on really random, seemingly trivial things. We got an extended scene about food, and a talk about the semi-cannibalistic rituals of the cave raiders. While somewhat interesting, I didn't feel it was really needed. In the same way, the time Riko spent lamenting the loss of her journal also felt wasted. I understand that, in the grand scheme of things, these scenes aren't that long... but it brings me back to the number of episodes and feeling like every moment needs to be important. Perhaps it will be moot and there will be more than one season. I guess we'll see. Hopefully we'll have our minds blown in a later episode. I shall continue watching this to the very end in the hopes of that |
 |
| another solid episode, felt like a minute as always. probably the anime i look forward to the most each week. so so so sad it's not 24-26 episodes, looks like i'm definitely moving onto the manga afterwards. |

| Jeez. This anime is so fucking good yet ot scares me because I'm so worried about Regu and Riko. Just seeing Riko being fled away with her vomit all over her. Omg. Please be okay. ;-; I wonder what Regu was looking at before Riko wakes up. Hahahaha! Damnit. My dirty thoughts. Another great episode. Ugh. Fucking love this show so much. |

Low_Ki said: Am I crazy or does this anime seem like Blame! in reverse with a fantasy setting as opposed to the cyberpunk setting? (descending into an abyss as opposed to ascending back into the world). Even Reg's laser beam looks like Killy's gun complete with the need to sleep after heavily using it. You might be right. I had heard people compared the two series as well. |

I also find that they are portraying Reg really well, acting just as a 10 year old (be it robot) boy would. Reg did what had to be done. And for the hanging up naked, just shows how f*cked up their world is. I surely could have done without that scene tbh. Doesn't ruin the narrative though. |

There's plenty of gore-fest anime, and nobody whines about that... Just arbitrarily picking and choosing what to whine about with no logical consistency... damn the western world is retarded. |
