Trying to avoid spoilers in this thread like.



Seriously stop posting fucking spoilers that kill the excitement for those who haven't read the manga. It's not that hard to use spoiler tags you know...

Anyway I want to give Nanachi a big hug! I love the way she teases and trolls poor Reg, especially when she tricked him in getting her dinner. Despite deliberately avoiding human contact she's kind in helping save Riko. I'm keen to hear more of her backstory later on as it looks like she has quite a tale to tell, especially with Mitty and her flashback with Bondrewd. And no Reg, you don't need to ask her 16 times to save Riko, she doesn't seem that heartless...

Looks like Reg has regained some of his memories and had previous contact with Lyza. I wonder what his role or purpose is in the grand scheme of things? Apart from being a 'robot' we don't really know much about him... Intriguing.

I'm definitely looking at joining the exclusive manga readers club once the anime is finished, but annoyingly I realized that the English paperback isn't coming out until January. Hmm to pirate or not to pirate?
Bondrewd did nothing wrong.

I thought his voice would be Shō Hayami, but Toshiyuki Morikawa turned out really good imo

Dude, that was just a joke on the character design similarity.

I finally got the joke lul

I just meant when I was reading the comic somehow the voice was automatically tuned as Sho Hayami for me but I liked the anime version well :P

At first I didn't like Nanachi's VA, but now I really liked it. Also love her/him so much.
Bonedrewd's voice was something tho, almost as how I imagined it when reading the manga, I loved it (gotta love Nanachi being patted on the head, pls send me a gif of the eternal pat)

I read somewhere that the 13th episode will be a 1 hour special

FUUUUUCK! THEY FUCKING SHOWED MITTY. I'M NOT OKAY. FUUUUCK! TOO EARLY, MAAAN. TOO FUCKING EARLY. MY FUCKING HEART!





That part in the OP where Nanachi is hugging Mitty. Fuuuuuuuck! I swear to god, the moment Mitty showed up, I just fucking lost it and started crying. I'm not okaaaay. And just hearing her voice. What the fuck! What the fuck!

I need to chill. Jesus.

Still can't get over how fucking awesome Nanachi's voice is. Gaaah. Thank you! Thank you! Just hearing her voice LIKE THAT is so fucking satisfying. It really FITS HER! <3

I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH, NANACHI! :3



Ugh. I have to agree with every manga reader (I just started reading the manga), and I have to say the people behind this show is doing A GREAT FUCKING JOB! *throws them a gold glitters with a colorful confetti*

Another week of suffering. Waaaaaah! ;-;

Well, you shouldnt eat while watch this anime, expecially how this will continue now on.
If you think what happened so far is disgusting, you saw nothing yet. This anime really not for kids.

Wait, so Nanachi's flashback had her helping another white whistle (dude looked like the Rocketeer or something, and his whistle was pretty cool as well). I'm assuming that she went down to the 6th layer with said person and either that person didn't make it, or was brought back as Mitty... which is why they couldn't show themselves to humans.
The way Mitty looked at Riko though... seemed like she recognized her somehow... whats up with that? Could they have been part of Lyza's original party?

As for Reg's memory of Lyza's grave... could it be that he was created by her to protect Riko?

So many questions in my mind, I'm pretty sure we're not going to get the answers even at the end of the season though.


You are way off. The truth is sadder then you could ever imagine so be prepared.

This show once again is so amazing and underrated!

I'm liking Nanachi a lot already even though she have just show up and I actually laughed at some of the subtle comedy inserted in this episode.

This might not be AOTY but definately anime of the season for me. Season 2 please!

This show is pretty repetitive. They just go lower and lower into the abyss encountering new monsters and shit while they are at it and meeting new people. Then later departing even lower down the abyss and repeat? Is that all there is to this series?

Continue watching this show and hating on it without looking into its actual quality is pretty dense move. Drop it now, I guess?

BEST DAD BONDREWD APPEARED!!! And we saw him patting Nanachi for good work with the experiments and making cartridges.

Looks like Riko is now going to be fine. OR IS SHE?!?!?!?!



Also, does anyone have a clue as to what they think that necklace Reg was holding actually is? I think it must be some sort of momento that Lyza gave him when she met him deeper in the abyss

Another impressive week, every time is improving this anime, leaving new unknowns to respond, definitely the best anime of the season, if you ask me the reason because I say this, it's simple, this work of art give me back the joy and pleasure of watch anime that I didn't have since I first saw monogatari series.

Good episode.
5/5

When that creature Mitty approached Riko, I felt danger... It's not all because of the creature's appearance but because we can't know for sure what it might be thinking (in order to trust) as it lacks speech... Then by the way it started looking at Riko I thought it had good intentions... But soon after, Reg appeared and I recognized that scene, and that it means that what'll come after will most likely be the opposite (some trope whose name I dunno)... So I deduced that the creature might've felt jealousy towards Riko's beauty...and would want to do her harm (...her red-ish irises must be indicative of that--that she might have an aggressive personality).

What a funny character Nanachi is. Her teasing were great.

Reg recovered a bit of his memory and it appears he might have met Lyza at one point. Though it is still a mystery. Good to see that Riko is recovering.


Nanachi is easily my favorite character so far, I just enjoy immensely her behavior, and Reg is right, she is so flufly!!

I felt a tinge of sadness for Mitty, she survived to become a shell of her former self, whatever she was before.

At this point, there is no denying that this series really is special, and I m glad it is 13 episodes long, with the last one being 1 hour long.

I watched 11 episodes expecting more from it because of the high score but turns out I'm wrong and you confirmed that. Dropping it now would be very stupid of me considering there's only 2 episodes left.

Don't tell me the manga is covering every layer of the abyss and them exploring it. Who knows how many layers are there. I bet if it becomes super popular, the author will milk the fuck out of the fans and make it as long as One Piece while repeating the same process over and over again.

After reading ANN's review of this episode, I'm really getting tired of this whole "children being nude/referencing genitalia/bodily functions is gross/off-putting" thing. Like, how repressed are we that we are made so uncomfortable by children being naked/talking about natural bodily functions/parts in a non-sexual manner? I realize the manga is different, but the anime has handled this stuff incredibly tastefully and I applaud them for being so blasé about it. This puritanical view of sex and anatomy does nothing but harm, can we please just be open and honest and stop being so ashamed of our humanity?

Does it not confirm the amount of Layers in the anime? Cause I'll reveal it, not much spoiler tier anyway
There are 7 layers, there could be a possible 8th due to the unknown nature of the deepest point of the Abyss. It's impossible to milk this shit cause they are already halfway in

Maybe they did and I missed it. It can still be milked if the author slows down the pacing even more. IF it gets popular I doubt the author will end it that quickly.

Another very good episode!
Nanachi knows it all! Reg should be grateful for Nanachi because she pity them and watching them all the time that she decided to step-up!
Mitty is simply bad news for me...that thing looks like an abomination!
Nanachi is awesome! She's an exception among exceptions!
Who is that person who loli Nanachi is speaking with?! her mentor!?
The part of the Shroombear was interesting! Especially Nanachi's explanation of the water-mushroom which are parasitic! The world-building environment of this series has unique concept!
Looks like Reg has another hallucination!
Oh no Mitty is curious about Riko!

https://myanimelist.net/news/52154653 Unless this is wrong, it's an hour long broadcast. So you have to account for commercials. So 2 episodes worth of time for 13.
