| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was interesting. Been reading the manga and I love the atmosphere of its world setting so far. The theme songs fits too for this show imo. From the beginning, we see Riko encountering a monster but she manages to survive despite a few close calls. Character interaction is fun to watch and pretty much introduced the main premise/story from the first episode. OST works as well. Definitely liked what I see so far. We'll get to see these kids explore more soon so I'm excited for that. Episode ended with a glimpse of the outside of the Abyss. ED theme song seems to catchier than I had expected. |

| Stunning first episode! The anime is in good hands! The visual presentation was on point in every way!The backgrounds and landscapes were absolutely incredible to look at. The soundtrack was already a joy and I loved the montage they played instead of the op with them carrying Reg. The voice actors are very on point and I really enjoy the casting choices so far. Fantastic adaptation so far. I love the OP/E̶D̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶?̶ Thanks for the clarification(it's the song that was played at the end of the episode, for those who were wondering). |

| Yep, as good as expected. Can't believe how good the OST is Nice animation and nice OP They've changed some bits but it was still great. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this one a lot!

| so is just 13 ep ... that's sad |
 |
| Really good episode. I liked the visuals and the atmosphere of it. This looks like a fun ride. |
 |
| The quality is breathtaking. The animation and music are both top-notch. If they keep this up, I can already imagine that this show will be a hit this season. Also, given that an anime reaches a far bigger audience than a web manga, I can understand why they decided not to include certain...interesting scenes from the source material. |
| Met my high expectations. This is gonna be a really nice ride Liking Riko and Reg a lot. That insert song at the end with the narration gave me chills!! |
 |
| Great start <3 and good music |
| Felt like I was watching a Ghibli film there And I don't just mean that stylistically, but also that it was pretty awesome |
  |
| I have no idea the character would be that cute. And also thought that Riko has the same VA as Tohru. Even she has that "easily-hyped" behavior just like Tohru. >_< The music is good too. |

| Wow, I'm so exited for this anime! It looks super promising!!! |
| This was a great episode and the characters look cute. Being given the same name as her old dog. Poor Reg. |
 |
| That was a beautiful episode. I think I'm going to love this show. :) |
| Just re-watched it with subs and in high quality. Amazing first episode, the liberties they took with the adaptation of the manga were spot on and they clearly know what they're doing! My excitement has no bounds! 10/10 first episode. |

| That was awesome, great start. The art is absolutely beautiful, love it. The soundtrack is really good as well. The premise is really intriguing and I love how it gives off a really mysterious but adventurous vibe with the whole treasure hunting and exploration of the abyss elements. The characters are really likable especially Riko. Reg is also shrouded in mystery. I don't know how far this will go in terms of plot and world development since this only 1 cour but I sure hope we get to learn more about the abyss and revelations regarding Reg and anything else in the world since I really love the premise. Really looking forward to next week. |

| Made in Abyss got my attention after I saw the summer anime season list in MAL with its artstyle. Now after I watched episode 1 I am really interested in it. ^_^ I would say it is 7 from 10 first episode. I love the artstyle ! Maybe will read the manga along with the anime because as far as I saw I think the story will be too complex for only 13 episodes adaptation.This may end up being one of the best anime for this season. P.s Question for manga readers .Does it follow the manga?  |
| I hate getting excited for shows but this one had my pumped since I watched the PV and this first episode lived up to my expectations. With only 13 episodes I'm really worried that this is going to start going downhill but for now WEEEEE! |
 |
| Wow, this was extremely impressive first episode. Could not really ask for more. Absolutely charming! |

An anime doesn't necessarily need to be 2 cours to be good yuki_akisa said: Does it follow the manga? They've changed some minor scenes in better Sure, but without reading the manga this looks like it's going to have a lot more to it than most shows with this episode count and that's what worries me. I could see it getting rushed or not having a good stopping point. |
|
| Now the good stuff is coming, that was nice to say the least. Osts, visuals, atmosphere everything was top and there's a ton of potential for an awesome ride. With this and Bahamut I will really look forward to each friday :P |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Possible anime of the season? Possible anime of the season. If the quality remains consistent and show does not jump the shark, this and isekai restaurant show pretty much will carry entire season on it's shoulders. |
 |
| Been waiting a year for this anime and it did not disappoint. |
 |
| This was dope. Thank god I'm going to be watching something this season. |
 |
| the world design is really good, it looks like this could be a good setting for dungeon crawling or excavating harvest moon-like game. let me guess they will go deep down to the centre of the earth eventually and meet this dude |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| I knew this was going to be my personal dark horse when I first saw the promo. I don't usually indulge in the "aots" hype, especially this early in the season, but I really think this is going to be something special. Worried a little about the episode count, but if pacing is maintained and all else remains at this quality or more, this will be a fantastic ride. |
 Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral. Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.  Every day I keep screaming into the void, but god just tells me to shut up. |
| No surprise that this is the best of the season so far. Music is amazing, the world they built here is intriguing as shit and the plot already interesting. Great stuff. |
| Really cool world building and art in this one. The setting seems pretty dystopian with lots of questions to be explored. |
| I had high expectations and luckily was not disappointed. |
| i am so happy right now |
| Because we're stupid that we love to have fun |
| If there isn't any surprise, we probably have anime of the season. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Character design sucks, but general art quality is impressive. Probably drawn in full 1080p. Everything is so crisp. Sasuga Kinema Citrus. Anyway, I'm not disappointed at all. Very good start. Ed song (or maybe future OP?) is awesome <3 |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| T'was okay. The backgrounds were neat, but I wouldn't say that the character animations were above average. There were a few pieces of expository dialogue that could have been improved, but other parts were pretty nice. The narration at the end of the episode was kinda annoying, and I feel like that info could have been learned through dialogue rather than what was basically an exposition dump. But narration by a non-character is more of a pet peeve of mine in general. Also, I'm really digging that opening track. On another note, if this adaptation covers the manga (don't spoil you're self, please), then I can see this becoming one of the most popular shows of the season, if not the year. I'm not trying to hype it or anything, but there are some aspects of the manga that if covered by the show, will definitely cause a hype storm. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| I love that OP srsly |
 |
| Good start, exploring the abyss is the goal and robot boy found. |
 |
| This one was a big surprise for me. Wasn't sure what to expect from the poster image; but good thing I never judge anime from that because I'd have missed a possibly extremely good fantasy anime. Also as soon as I spotted that drama tag, I didn't have to think about it twice before diving in. The characters design is a bit hard to get used to, at least for me, but the backgrounds and the ost are just great; that insert song at .07 *_* The world looks very interesting and I like the characters, can't wait to see more! |
| aaaand there it is. anime of the season candidate no. 1 im literally in love with the ost. |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| That was a fantastic start! |
