| I just finished watching season 2 of the anime. I got really involved in this show the last 2 weeks. First season was good, movie was great, and beginning of season 2 was truly promising. It was slowly becoming a contender to enter my Top 20 all-time, maybe Top 15. As much as I liked the directing/art/animation/music/production value, I'm utterly disappointed. It went from 8/10 to 6/10, and I'm being generous because of the production value. To make it simple : When the final end credits started, what came to mind was : "What was all that about?". It felt like the story didn't advance ... and the last couple episodes felt messy and all over the place... Maybe I didn't understand something about all the metaphysical trippy dialogues? Can someone enlight me and change my mind? |

| I found it great as ever, it continued to deliver highly controversial content in an acceptable way and that's a major selling point of the show. |
| It was an incredibly satisfying conclusion and the entire arc felt like it organically built up to it. Opinions and interpretations, I suppose. |
| To answer your question: It was all about the authors weirdness, in the end^^ First Season he held back, second season he gone all-in |
 |
| I agree with you, Season 1 and the Bondrewd movie were really great and early episodes of Season 2 was great, and then Mitty appeared again and the show started to plummet and became worse each episode, especially with Faputa just screaming all the time and all that unnecesarily gory scenes as if to show off "hey look this anime is so gory and brutal like how everyone likes it hurr durr" ....and after all that forced melodramas in that village, still no sign of 7th Layer's appearance. what a waste~ tldr screw Mitty and Faputa for ruining the season |

| Thank you for the replies. I get the general idea. I think what made the less sense to me, was the characters motivations/intents. Bondrewd was a fascinating character, one could say he was sick/insane. But it made sense because it was explained that he lost his soul, so it was just a personality without a soul or malicious intents. But in season 2, most characters sounded insane and deranged, not in a good way. I still don't get what was Wazukyan purpose. The only character that made sense in this arc and remained consistent is Reg. Overall, the 6th layer was underwhelming, and it felt like it existed only for the "main characters". and I don't like when stories use that "destiny" trope thing. |

I just finished watching season 2 of the anime, minutes ago.
I got really involved in this show the last 2 weeks. First season was good, movie was great, and beginning of season 2 was truly promising.
It was slowly becoming a contender to enter my Top 20 all-time, maybe Top 15.
But the last 3-4 episodes managed to ruin the whole experience and my interest for this show plummeted.
As much as I liked the directing/art/animation/music/production value, I'm utterly disappointed. It went from 8/10 to 6/10, and I'm being generous because of the production value.
To make it simple : When the final end credits started, what came to mind was : "What was all that about?". Everything felt nonsensical, unncessary, forced, useless, worthless... I rarely witnessed such a fumble in anime. It fell apart so brutally and abruptly.
What a let down!
Maybe I didn't understand something about all the metaphysical trippy dialogue? How can this season be rate 8.64? What did I miss?
Can someone enlight me and change my mind?

you don't like an anime-:
option 1-rate it low and forget about it
option 2-cry about it being highly rated and fight with people who liked it
you chose the wrong one
| @Abzy1239 Your reading comprehension must be limited. Nobody is crying about anything. I explained myself and said I was open to explanations because I might have missed something or didn't understand the characters motives. It's not like I came here bashing the show for no reason. Some of the people here are just way too sensitive or just looking for negativity for no reason. If you have nothing interesting to say, just move on |

I was not saying "crying" like you were secreting fluid out of your tear gland
I meant to say that if you don't like anything
no one can convince you that it was good
| @Abzy1239 Why not? Especially when the person says they're willing to hear an explanation. I liked everything, directing, art, music, universe. But got hell disappointed and confused with how the story went. I might have not understood what was going on. To this day, I still don't get what was Wakuzan doing. Is he antagonist, is he just crazy, is he just acting to serve the plot, I don't know. My mind could be changed if someone comes up with a reasonable explanation that makes sense and make me look at the season in a different way. |

| @Rinrinka I couldn't have summed it up better. Felt like a 12 episodes side story and some characters decisions just left me baffled. I had high expectations after the movie, the harder I fell |
| I said I liked pretty much everything, except the fact that most characters don't make sense, and it's hard to follow what's their motives. As I stated, Bondrewd insanity had an explanation at least. Maybe insanity is a main theme of the show? Now that I think about it, it's said that all white whistle are nuts. If that's the case, this anime does a great job showing how crazy people "reason" and think. The last 2-3 episodes felt like watching a real life asylum. The more I think about it, the more it sounded like I was watching crazy, out-of-touch, deranged, irrational people interacting. Maybe that's the author's intent after all |
| Not a potential spoiler in sight. Just pointless rambling. What was that all about? It's the brutality of the sixth layer of the abyss and adding more lore to the story. It delves into issues about grief, sacrifice, and consequences that result from venturing into unknown territory. Unique characters such as Faputa, the guy who was sort of the tour guide for Reg and the others, and those group of people who suffered so much add a lot of depth to the show as well. |

As always with made in Abyss…the story is yet to continue. Most questions are answered in the season after, we maybe seeing things now that will make sense later.
Tbf there is a lot of this and signs in made in abyss. The more you rewatch it the more you notice the tie ins.
I say just wait until the next part of the story before making a judgement on a half finished storyline

| @BioCrumpet True. I only rewatched the movie, maybe I'll give season 2 a rewatch after reading some analysis. Oh I'm definitely watching the next season. |
| i agree that the series have kinda gotten worse since season 1 but it went from a 10 to 9 dawg, similar to aot s4 the drop isnt that bad |
