| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Riko and her cooking skills... Definitely important though if they want to survive. I liked Riko and Regu's character chemistry this episode. They went deeper into the abyss and encountered some strange creatures. Regu's behavior is also feeling more and more human-like every episode imo. Nice to see Habo this episode :D Pacing seems good so far. They're following this journey to the Abyss layer by layer. |
 |
| Eh, decent episode, I wish they adapted some more content. |
| :3 |
| What is this pacing? Everything was actually pretty much perfect until now, they completely dragged this one out. I didn't hate it or anything, they just could've done so much more. Really wondering about how they're going to end this now.. |

| After another tearful goodbye, our heroes find themselves into more dangerous territory. The studio is going with a slow and steady pace with this one, letting us see the adventure as soon as it unfolds before our eyes rather than an abridged version of it. We're not watching a bunch of characters go through an adventure, we're right there with them, exploring the last uncharted location in the world, experiencing for ourselves all the joys, pains, happiness, and suffering that they feel. On another note, I wouldn't mind eating lunch in the first layer of the Abyss. It looks so beautiful. |

Really wondering about how they're going to end this now.. Well, I quite worried myself. If the anime is to covered until what was shown in the OP, the current pacing might result in rushing some of the juiciest part of the story... |
| I am a little worried now. At this pacing, we won't get to see Bondrewd arc. |
| Because we're stupid that we love to have fun |

| Good episode as Riko and Reg make their way through the first layer of the abyss but things are only going to get more difficult now that they've reached the second layer...the forest looks eerie |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| Very nice showcase of the adventure aspect of this anime. Got to see the whole first layer. The bond between Reg and Riko is nice to see. They know where to add appropriate music, that's always a plus. So next episode, i guess we'll see Ozen and things that might be distressing according to Habo. Interesting that Habo gave Riko some kind of protection water, will probably come in handy later on. |
| Good episode. They are in the second layer now. Nice to see Habo and he is fast for his build. Regu's arm extension is really useful. |
 |
| That was another good episode, but I honestly have been wondering some stuff since episode 1 so I kinda just want to put them here, there are chances that the own anime explained them and I failed to understand that tho, so sorry beforehand. 1- Would Riko have any chance to get far without Regu being there? It seems like she would have gone there even if he wasn't here, not to mention that he provides an insane help by just dropping lots of meters with his hand. 2- They plan to go to pretty much the bottom known of the Abyss, but, is there even a chance for them to do that? They are already warned not to go to the second level or they won't get rescued, there is no way they can even get past that, especially if the monsters and dangers around are more and more difficult the lower they go. 3- How do the adventurers climb back? Like, Regu used his hand to decrease lots of meters at the start, falling really far, it sounds very difficult to climb back like in a mountain, especially when just going to the third level makes the person feel terrible due to the curse of the Abyss, I can't see how someone could climb back while feeling awful no matter how good they are at being adventurers. 4- Generally worried about the whole objective in general, for now the story is basically going to find Riko's mother, who awaits at the bottom, that is fine as a driving force to start the adventure, but, idk, HxH starts because Gon wants to find his father, but he already has the objective to become a Hunter so the story has a first point to start from, meanwhile Abyss so bar is pretty much just keep going down. It's only 4 episodes so I guess that I'm just worrying too much. |

Quite funny to see that only the manga readers are worried after one episode of taking things slow(not like the previous three did enough right?) The fact that you guys are more worried on where a show is going to end rather than if the show is actually adapting its source well is hilarious. Stop fucking nitpicking. |
| Wow ok, even the lines were the same as the manga. 11/10 adaptatio, even tho I was expecting chapter 10 to be fully adapted Another great episode, here comes the trouble from the next episode Can't wait!

Eeeh, it does bother me a little tbh. Still better than CG tho |

| Another great episode, even if the pacing was a bit slower. |
| Damn, this was some good episode! Looks like things are about to go 'down' and dark real soon. Good progress so far although the pacing of the show feels a little slow but I don't really mind that too much. It will be interesting to see how the next episode will present itself. |

| "All things that comes from the abyss will eventually return into abyss" - well Riko looks like your time is shortening... For now it can looks like a fairytale adventure of two kids but, oh boi cant wait for reactions when the actual shit hit the fan. |

OT: Well yes this ep was slow but vol 5 is still not possible with the pacing of last eps. 3 ep -> 8 chapter 12 ep -> 32 chapter Half of the "hyped arc" so I don't think they would just stop there or give the other half in one episode. At least we will get "fluffy arc". Still was a good episode.

Well I can see why since there are so many major reveals in that arc. Since the show "adapting its source well" we just want to see that arc too. Nothing hilarious there. Tbh last arc is even better but wanting to see that would be just too greedy. |

| Reg and Riko managed to make to the second layer. They encountered some strange creatures along the way. Habo is such a nice guy. He's also quite fast. |

Grimmgeta said: I loved this episode, the atmosphere was fantastic. I'm not a manga reader but I checked the manga out of curiosity. The pacing doesn't really seem to be that slow? Of course we'll see what they do going forward, but an episode dedicated to the first layer of the abyss and start of the second seems perfectly reasonable to me. Whatever though, pretty much any anime adapted from a manga or light novel is always going to have a few people complaining about something. No. No one is complaing. Manga readers (me included) are worried because they show in the OP a character, which means that they will adapt his/her arc that ends at chapter 38. And with this pace everyone is wondering "how will they adapt it?" -----> rushing things Well, as of now. I'm very happy with this adaptation so far. It is completely faithful to the source at least |
| Felt a little bit slower than usual, but it was still enjoyable. Slowly entering dangerous territory. |
  |
| Nice monster design, Dunno if it was CG or not, but definetely looks pretty well, can't wait to see inside of the 2nd level :0 |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| They arrive and habo comes down to see reg and give them some stuff. leader and company were searching for them but to no avail. |
 |
| Just waiting for the darkness, that's all I wanna see. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| It's cool that they're now entering regions of monsters. |
| Really great episode imo, this anime is slowly becoming one of my favorites ^^ |
| 4 episode and we still see nothing from the vast gourmet world... |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Hmm. According to manga readers shits gonna hit the fan at one point and the show would get dark. I wonder if it would be as dark as madoka magica ep 3 and people would freak out lol. |
| i dont mind if they cut off all the weird plots reflected on the author's sexual perversion like shitting on the altar |
| I actually don't mind the slow pace of this episode. Really helps the viewer to take in the first layer and the abyss in general. I wonder what's up with Ouzen. Maybe she has a grudge against Rika and her mom or something? Title for the next episode is "Incinerator" 😳 |
| well this is interesting.... now so many new mysteries to encounter |

And with this pace everyone is wondering "how will they adapt it?" -----> rushing things rather than ch 38, I'm convinced the anime will adapt only up to ch 26 (a little bit past Volume 3). And this is based on what's portrayed in the OP and ED, as well as the pacing and the 13 episode limit. so i wonder what will happen now. |
| Because we're stupid that we love to have fun |
| It's strange that a 13 episode anime should have such a pointless filler episode. Also, I'm fairly certain one of the characters mentioned that Reg "couldn't just use his arms to lower them down the abyss"... But that's exactly what he did this whole episode. This show started so well, but I've been disappointed with the last two episodes. |
