| I cried in this episode, just wow. I really hope this anime will have a season 2 this was just amazing. It got on my top 5 animes |
| Finally Riko gets done in. It was kinda pissing me off how positive she was thinking she can climb down the abyss and be OK. She wasn't even at least bit cautious venturing down there. Now she can suffer the consequences muahahaha! |
| Best part was when all the blood started streaming out. Scarred for life now. :D |

Are you kidding me ? she'd be dead long ago without Regu who do everything and save her ass everytime. She was so close to die on the FIRST layer please She's really useless and if she hasn't a great training arc (not the short thing before, that's not enough) she's gonna die like a shit before ending her journey. She even said "But you know, less than ten percent of the creatures in the Abyss have even been named.” And she's poisoned and trapped by the monsters SHE KNOW ABOUT DAMNIT It were just a matter of time before she take a reality slap in the head. |

I'm not kidding you. She had more knowledge and a more insightful mind. She also was capable of cooking. |

| Dang , I see a lot of spoiler about this but, it's still hard to watch :/ |

First of all, I agree with you that this entire journey is stupid and if Riko didn't have Reg with her, she would be dead before she enters the third layer. However, what's past is past, and if she hadn't found Reg first, some other delver might and who knows what they're going to do to him. Down at the Abyss, even though Reg is a powerhouse, he's indecisive and slow to act, and would be hopelessly lost without Riko to guide him. Riko on the other hand has encyclopedic knowledge of the Abyss and can come up with plans on the fly. Also, don't underestimate how much a good meal can keep your morale up when things are down. |
| I was not expecting that, it might actually be more brutal then final of Berserk 1997 :o |
| Well, that's what they get for being a couple of stupid kids who think they're on a field trip to the local park instead of in the uncharted territory with grotesque monsters on the prowl where the strongest of humans die like flies. A surprising breath of realism I didn't expect from this show. I may be in minority, but I like it. |

That's really a silly thing to say, if all episodes were as intense and dramatic as this by the time we would have reached ep10 that scene would have had ZERO impact, maybe words like "world-building" and "Dramatic Structure" mean nothing to you but the majority of us understand their importance and appreciate it. No it isn't, Riko is magically attracted and compelled to go to the bottom of the abyss ever since she was born in the Abyss, died in it, then was revived by the magical cube artifact, that's why the whole damn thing is TRAGIC rather than stupid.

You clearly have no clue whatsoever about what "Character Dynamics" mean, not every goddamn character has to be freaking power houses with excessive strength and flawless intellect, characters that can shatter boulders with their bare-hands and lift a ton of steel while solving complex quantum physics equations. The more a character is competent from the start of the story and the more there are competent characters the faster things get stale and boring, Riko starts off poorly becasue she is a red whistle and a child ffs, still she is far more knowledgeable and resourceful than Reg will ever be. Also knowing about a creature by itself doesn't make you immune to it, that's just so silly idea, she just mentioned this episode a BLACK WHISTLE had to cut their goddamn arm off because they were poisoned by the creature, and clearly from the stuff we see inside the house of Nanachi in that cave plenty of BLACK And PURPLE whistles DIED on this level, so don't you give me this crap about "she was poisoned and trapped by the monsters she knew about", FUCK the first thing she asks Reg to do is to fucking run away a.s.a.p, which is the thing they end up doing in the end and saves their lives. Long story short NEITHER of them would have survived without the other, that's the whole goddamn point of the show ffs, that they both need each other to survive, Riko needs Regs strong robotic body, grappling hooks and Incinerator beam while Reg needs Riko's Intellect, bravery, knowledge, optimism and cooking skills. As for what she did since the start of the series. -Saved her friend from a monster that would have eaten him by risking her life even though she wasn't trained or armed to fight something like that nor should the creature be in the first lv. -She is the one who took the decision to start that journey (partially because of the message she got and the fact she is magically attracted to the Abyss like Ozen said). -She dragged unconscious Reg and survived several encounters with multiple creatures as well as the curse to get them to safety. Reg might be a powerful robot but he is amnesiac, ignorant about the Abyss, very hesitant and totally unmotivated on his own, he would be going around wandering aimlessly or get trapped and crushed somewhere if it wasn't for Riko keeping him focused and motivating him to push forward into the Abyss. |

| They did a great job with the brutality of this scene. Though it did shock me quite a bit. Great voice acting and pretty graphic scenes. The pair were so happy-go-lucky (well maybe except for Reg) but still... |
 |
| Awww yeah, torture porn. That's what I was waiting for. |

Chdata said: Good to know white whistles are probably more of monsters than that thing though. Makes me wonder if every white whistle they run into will simple be "a nice coincidental meeting between two sane individuals", or if any of THEM pose a threat. Well the later guess are correct, just wait for more fckd up situation the Abyss has in store ~ This is just an advice from me, if you can handle the gore and fckd up story in Tokyo Ghoul or HxH, then this anime is for you, cause things will get more fckd up MULTIPLE TIMES MORE THAN THIS |

TheDoggoneGirl said: Holy fucking shit! This is one of those anime episodes I can't watch again because it's just soo painful. Fuck when Riko started bleeding out I just lost it and started jumping around my bedroom while crying so hard. Not even exaggerating, but that was my reaction throughout her suffering. And I cried harder when she "stopped breathing", then Regu started crying so hard. Oh my fucking god this anime just went full sadist to me. Fuuuuuck! I've never cried this hard before since Levi's god mode in SNK's OVA I swear. Omfg. But I'm so happy we finally get to meet Nanachi. I've been hearing her voice in the ED I bought on iTunes and I find her really adorable with Riko and Regu in the ED, and now HE/SHE'S HERE. I'm not even sure about his gender (it might went Maruruk again). Hihi. WHAT A GREAT, BUT FUCKING SADISTIC EPISODE! GAAAH! I'm still crying while typing this. PLEASE BE OKAY, MY BABY RIKO. MY POOR HEART! THIS ANIME CLEARLY DESERVES MY 10/10. ;-; I'm not sure if you feel any kind of trap, but Nanachi this time is female gender. |
 |
| Didn't expect such intensity from this episode. Poor Riko, it was painful to watch. But I like the serious approach of the show, if everything always went smoothly it'd be unbelievable or more like a child's play adventure. But I'm glad that Riko at least has a chance to be saved. |

| I checked this episode out due many claiming how brutal or gory is... Expect that wasnt the case at all, showing some blood doesnt make it a "torture porn" , very very weak, this wasnt gore at all. I guess most of watchers simple didnt saw much until now, and probably Made in Abssy the first time for them. This reminds me to Narutaru, when people expected it to be Pokemon like child show, and then was shocked by a little blood and killing, giving the series the "most disturbing gore ever" all, claims, though at least that bad show had better "gore" than this So I do predict future reviews with sensational writing: "Dont let this show foul you, its not for kids, very mature and fucked up" Some poor fools probably will give credits to those reviews, will wait for nothing just like it was with Narutaru.... Very light in gore terms, viewers just not used to this, and expected nothing but kiddy tale, when something happens - basically few scream, and showing blood- suddenly becomes so hardcore and throw up including etc. THIS ISNT DARK |
| Here are my opinions about episode 10 of Made in Abyss: I am one of the people who at first didn't read the manga and second don't watch gore animes for reasons. I've not expected the anime to go so mean by showing the audience the curse of this layer. It was kinda rough for me watching riko suffer and I looked away for 1 second as they showed the bricked bone. All in all I must say it was great that they show how scary the abyss really is cause I lost the fear of the abyss since the last 4 episodes. This Episode really pushes the Anime much further in the ranking for me. |

It was pretty dark with her bleeding out of every orifice of her body and her hand swelled up to half the size of her body. Imagine that happening to you. Can't be fun. |
|
| Holy shit, the scene where Riko is bleeding and screaming made me more uncomfortable the nail scene from Higurashi... |
 |
| Having seen quite a few "Dark" Shows, with a lot of gore, I personally think this is one of most uncomfortable scenes to watch. Maybe it isn't dark, but this is a lot worse than most "Dark" shows a lot of people tend to name when people ask for gore/dark shows. |
|
| The creative liberties regarding the adaptation ended last episode, this one was adapted from the manga very well. I am pleased (that they didn't alter it or water it down). Riko's horrific experience isn't something to be pleased about, of course. Excellent reminder of the horrors of the Abyss waiting for them. Having read the manga, I already knew what was gonna happen. That still didn't mean I was fully ready to see it like this! On the bright side, the fluffy Nanachi is finally introduced. <3 |
| I knew that that spikey-thingy from the ED would be fearsome. Damn, that hand would burst out any second. Tomato juice sure is red huh. And that bunny. I thought she'd have an annoying voice, but I'm glad it's a serious one. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |

| Holy shit, this episode was so graphic. I knew that some gore was coming up, but... woah, this surpassed my expectations. I am also amazed that the VAs pulled it off so well – I could hear these screams down in my soul. And I hope SO much that Riko won't be so reckless anymore. She was all too loud and cheery as for someone who is going down THE Abyss. It's vexing to boot. |
| ☆ |
| Alright we know the premise, but this anime has to be the most deceiving thing in a long time. What bothers me is that they put kids in this situation, it wouldn't be so bad with adults or even older teens. I don't know, the bleeding scene shocked me too much and not in a good way. |

| Dafuq was this episode. The sight of Riko suffering from curse of abyss was a grueling and disgusting task tbh. It was pretty graphic. |
 |
| well, well, we finally had some blood shedding and intense suffering here |
  |
| It seems we're now getting into the real meat of the story. Abominable puns aside, what a rollercoaster damn . . . Genetically speaking, there's no reason for that piercing critter to be as intelligent as it is, unless there's something worse than it, that it needs intelligence to survive. The realism and gravity of the situation and consequences is far more impactful than just blood/gore porn like Another or Corpse Party. All claims to this series being gore porn are in poor taste. @Swim_Swim @Milk_is_Special and others. |

| Cucked at 13 episodes |
| This episode left me speechless, I love this story more and more. Amazing episode. 5/5. Expectations: An adorable and colorful anime about a little girl and her robot friend going out on adventure to find her missing mom.  Reality: Hoo boy.... |
 |
Kariossus said: I didn't really expect all that gore, yes it was shocking and all, too bad it happened just because since apparently she's going to healed by the bunny girl (which was obvious since the ED spoils it, plus Reg noticing someone following them). Kinda disappointed Reg didn't cut her arm off because she's gonna be healed and there will be no real consequences, just edge for the sake of it. Well Nanachi did say that Riko's hand won't look the way it did before though so I guess that's somewhat of a consequence. |

This is exactly, the end results what ultimately matters, the fact is probably Riko will survive and there wont be any real consequences. To me this is same, like an anime which is said to be so dark and many end up dying , but in the end episode the writers decide, lets revive all the dead with some bullshit explanation "beating the system"...So ultimately the whole thing ends up trash. Because when you have no consequences then nothing but filler. @GenesisAria Thats what I meant this show, nowhere close to be torture/gore porn. However I disagree with you regarding Another, especially compared to Made in Abyss. Mostly because we never shown how dangerous the Abyss is, but always talked about "so dangerous, so many died" but never shown, this is the first time. Before this the whole thing felt like a picnic, and even this one occasion wont result in anything new. Sure the little almost toodler girl, suffered a little, but she will recover without problem and this whole thing end up for nothing , just a filler. It would have been far better to see the robot chopping her hand, now thats CONSEQUNCE. We need more of that, not only in this show, but overall in other animes, most anime makes even death feel like a temporary condition, easy to come back like nothing happened |
| I can only applaud to the production team, the animators, the VAs and the rest of the staff for presenting such difficult scenes in an authentic manner. While watching I had to take a short break and wash my face, it was just too difficult to bear. Bonus points for the application of the tourniquet! |
 俺とお前との違いが何だ？！ |
| Finally the tone shift we've been waiting for. Riko looks like she could use a hand out there. |
Zanos1Sep 9, 2017 1:11 PM
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| The 1st time I heard the ED ... this part: Reg: Your left hand, with my right hand Riko: Join it, connect us, and let's begin I think that was intended ... (if you did read the manga you will understand) |

| Despite how rough this episode was to watch,i'm surprised how many people were shocked by the tonal shift which has sorta always been there and somewhat dark or at least they've indicated it was with all the death and what not ,i just hope there are some serious consequences for this because if it wasn't for the sake of the plot progressing i still don't think they would've made it this far i mean it was suicidal from the start lol. most interesting part for me was how smart and deadly a single Predator could be at this layer and even with how strong Regu is he is highly inexperienced |

| this fucking anime Ah, a hollow then. Forgot what Lyza said about them in the beginning, guess I'll check that out. katsu044 said: Clearly, it's almost wrong to speak of a tonal shift. They've been narrowly escaping death since episode 1. Everything has been ambiguous in the abyss. Ohzen is the perfect example.

Even disregarding all of the comments on death etc.... just the nature of the culture, and everything that goes on there . . . You must have zero sense of environment, because the danger of it has even been alluded to via circumstance and presentation alone. You are the one here who seems to need to see consequence to know it's there. I saw it come and go several times... Up until this point they had been extremely lucky, and they were riding on their luck. If they keep doing that they'll end up dead, or survive by pure RNG. |

| WTF man, how hard and painful was this episode. For some moments I remembered that I had a similar reaction when I saw the episode 3 of Madoka xD This episode was a lot better than the previous one in all sense, taking aside some things from the plot, or from character actions in this episode (I'm talking to you, Reg). This arc of the loli rabbit is leaving me a better impression than the one of Ouzen, although I do not think that they add anything more on the past history of Riko. Apparently in the ending now the adventures will be in charge of these 3 characters until the end. PS: Has anyone already taken a look or is reading the manga ?: (No spoilers pls) I am interested in knowing if they are omitting some things in this adaptation, also I have doubts on the level of censorship that is having. Many thanks in advance if you respond, anyway I am determined to read the manga when this series ends. Although I am not sure to read it from the beginning or not. |
