Seriously, what's great about this show? I mean, I don't think it's bad(though I've no score for it yet since I rate shows after I finished them). Decent at best, I guess. I read some of the comments and reviews prior to watching it and the information I've gathered, after reaching this 6th episode, I'm just not seeing or feeling those good stuffs they're describing. Please, don't hate me. I am just curious to know what you find in this show that made it good.

I think the main reasons people enjoy it is because:
- it's no harem
- it's no cute girls doing cute things
- it's no Isekai
- it's no Battle Royal knock-off
- it's no Fujobait
- it's no Idolcrap
- there isn't even a high school

But Riko is cute and is doing cute things...maybe she is a trap and not counting as girl?

Anyway the show looks gorgeous, the charters are acting naturally not like anime tropes and The Abyss is weird and interesting place.
This is why people like this title.

Basically.
Made in Abyss is a good show, but in comparision with most other recent anime (especially last season), it looks like pure gold.

Ozen's voice is fucking annoying, like someone with sinusitis or a stuffed nose. She looks good when she's looking sinister but her regular appearance is meh. Well, she and I agree on one thing, I also hate the smell of vomit and other bodily excretions and fluids.

Marulk is cute but I knew it, she's a fucking trap I knew it from the moment I heard her voice. That's okay, I love traps.

lol Riko has no shame in flaunting it all.

I was hoping that Riko would see Marulk naked, not some monster ribs so early in the morning.

I don't trust Ozen at all. Although it honestly makes sense for Lyza to be dead, I also feel like she could be making shit up out of some kind of jealousy. That close-up on the grimace on her face when she asked Riko "Are you going to dig up her grave?" was terrifying. And her "chamber"...oh, god, I feel like I'm watching a horror movie sometimes. Run! The Abyss has messed this chick up; she's almost like a warning sign.

I kinda ship Reg and Maruruk. From the little bit of conversation we heard, it seems like he ranted to her a bit about how everyone's concerned with his penis/balls.

The episode has been valuable as foretells, the narrative once again feeds on pathos and comicity, succeeding in mingling the two components without ever knocking. Ozen soon demonstrates a great character, the fact that he cries to Riko for a stranger, makes me think; here cat loves us! The OST's contribution is always paramount. Drawings and backgrounds, divine as in the best anime series. Whether Ozen's revelations are all true or omitted, and if his manners are just a fake (I think they are, a little bit). Marluk has spared me, Ozen also has her perversions, eheheh!

Can't tell is Ozen is kind, or crazy, or a bitch, or all three??? Probably all three mixed into a crazy, giant body...

Does it get explained why he cross dresses as a girl? Or was it just for the scene where she gets out of the bath. I am guessing Ouzen makes him crossdress.

Dammit a cute loli trap, sasuga Japan. Ozen seems like the farthest thing from a trustworthy character, but I have a feeling she's just trying to help Riko and Reg in her own distinctive way. I'm betting Lyza isn't dead yet, though now I'm unsure who wrote that letter (it would be too obvious if it's Ozen).

The show is progressing nicely so far with each episode better than the last.

Traps are typically an unecessary cringy weaboo thing in anime bringing nothing to the story.
There are some good traps for comic relief, like in SteinsGate, but here for example... just why?
And the fanservice on a 12 years old girl like wtf?
In an eichi anime no problem, but here, I don't want traps and loli fan service in my serious and reputed good anime. When will I find a serious, well written and authentic anime wtf

Ooouuu~ big mirror ;O I wonder if it'll show the past on it and Riko will be able to see what happened to her mama. Orrrr it's a portal...?

Interesting episode. I want Riko to find that monster again lol. Cute how she wet Reg's bed and not her own lmfao

Riko needs to be mindful about her body -___- I knew Maruruk was a feminine boy and Reg isn't a normal robot so she needs to be more conservative. Geez. They both saw her nekkid. Reg, TWICE now.

i really liked this episode. i'm convinced that Ozen is lying about Lyza though, and probably just wants Riko to stay safe so she's lying to her. equally convinced Ozen really misses Lyza, and is definitely a tsundere.

i'm prepared to be wrong but also prepared to brag

I thought it started off rather slow and the cuteness of the charaeteres was starting to go a little over the top. Then Ouzen towards the end.. wow. My jaded ass got creeped out with Ouzen's close ups and I'm enjoyed how dark this episode got.

Even though Riko and Reg did not go further in this episode, they did become acquaintanced with Maruluk and Ozen which turns out to be quite an interesting characters. A trap (which I realized before Reg asked his gender) and a pretty sadistic woman.

If Riko's mom is actually dead, she better has another resolve that are just as strong as wanting to see her mother (such as wanting to find the answers about Reg's origin)

(I never read the manga or anything about made in abyss but I did feel that this episode is kinda slow paced)

I hate those animes with cute girls doing cute things. Not because I'm a typical dumb jock trying to act tough, it's just really annoying and their ridiculous desperation always have an opposite effect on me. But this show is just pure magic. It's so adorable without them even fucking trying. I just love how innocent Riko's mind is, just look at how she gets out of the bathroom butt naked not minding that people can see her. Her body is not sexualized thank God it looks like a body of a small child that she is. That shit is fucking adorable. And when she was all embarrassed after she wet the sheets looking down pouting with cute little hands together like that, man that shit melts fucking hearts, literally. I fucking love this show. Totally expected Marulk to be a trap btw, the voice gave it away.

And it has a lot of nice worl building but I till get the feeling it's kind of building up for something...

When they first met Maruluk face to face, I can't shake off that dreadful feeling that something's off about her and Reg just straight up pointed it out lmao.

White Whistles definitely pass the looks for legends. Ozen in this case looks and sounds like a proper sexy sadist~

I want to know who lies in the grave of Eternal Fortunes, that white box and that corpse like creature in the tree.

Come on. A bloody cliffhanger.

I like that white haired lady(Reminds me of that horny reporter from Higurashi). She should give some sense to that wimp Riko. Riko should just give up hope. Her mom isn't the great angel and all. She was a disgusting and sadistic person. I bet she killed her own crew.

Riko doesn't have any solid reason to go down to the pits. I don't know why she was there in the first place. She reminds me of those children who just go off somewhere without finding the toilet. Get to the toilet already.

I hate Riko. I wouldn't want her to be my friend, much less to be my guide. She has no skills at all and I don't know why people root for her. She is too stupid to live.

Looks like my prediction came true. This is getting lame. WHERE IS THE GOOD STUFF?

If things don't get sorted within 1 episode, this is just the worst of the worst.

I think this is just beginning to be the collection of anime tropes from Stein;s gate. You know, the hype, the no plot factor even after half the episodes passed, the TRAP who is totally a girl, female explorer, stuff like that.

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.

I kinda guessed Marulk was a boy when I heard him say "boku." From what I could get from his and Reg's conversation, Ozen is probably making him dress like that.

This was a chill episode overall aside from that unknown creature appearing in the middle of the night. Ozen's a creepy woman and the white box looks interesting. Lets see what happens next.

Well, you tell, anime, that the true secrets aren't in the night or in the traps, but rather inside person.. So please show more enjoyable and interesting characters then.. Because now I don't feel there are that many of them.. I mean, leader and that bearded huge man were interesting.. But else.. Well, we'll see..
How she was able to make this hairstyle - yeah, indeed, a good question.. ;D
Well, I mean.. That girl seems rude, and probably she lost something in the process saving Riko.. But also she still didn't arrest them or anything, what she could do, really.. Just for breaking the law, you know.. As well as Regu really is probably valuable for country as well.. So even if this woman seems grumpy, at the end of the day for now she seems to maybe have not the evilest intentions.. Yeah, she just seems like grumpy, hurt by consequences, but good woman.. But for now.. As really everything can go either way, and she at any moment can start casting light, while shouting "unlimited powa!", or something..

Ozen is a mysterious character, her personality is hard to predict.

I can't believe that trip to the toilet ended up with an accident in the bed

It's gonna be interesting to see if Ozen will try to stop them going deeper
