Still don't understand the appeal of the anime Vs the manga. Starting to feel like Berserk this far in, in respect to manga vs anime. |

podetus said: Ah I see, I must have remembered it wrong. That's alright then, I suppose. Still didn't care much for this episode. JCvetich said: 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. They said that he can't reach the bottom with just his arm. Not couldn't use his arm to lower them down abyss |

Hongu said: the pacing was excellent, we don't need to be going mach 6 just to get to bone dad. trust me, I read through 12-43 in about 3-4 hours taking it in and re reading a bit, but that would be unnecessary pacing, and plus, we still might speed up through certain chapters either ending on ch26 or somehow on the idealistic ch38. We as manga readers already know what happens, but the anime only's need to be able to enjoy the show to the fullest and i personally felt that as a whole it had nearly perfect pacing. 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.. Mod edit: removed bait |

It always fun to see whenever Riko get that excited for a moment then suddenly cried because of her mistakes and hype. >_< Anyway now that they've finally reach the second layer of the Abyss and also receive some info from Habo, it must be the time to get more careful on the move. |

Good episode, it did feel a little slower compared to the previous ones but a good episode nonetheless. It was nice seeing Riko and Reg enjoy a meal in the first layer of the Abyss. Was also nice seeing Habo, Interesting how he says "All things that comes from the abyss will eventually return into abyss". He even gave Riko some useful supplies and warned her about Ozen, the white whistle we'll presumably meet soon. The farewell was really nice. :) We've reached the 2nd layer pretty fast, I was expecting Riko and Reg to run into a lot more hurdles but with the way it was portrayed, it did look like both of them reached the 2nd layer fairly easily. Looking forward to next week. |

Slow paced but I think it was important to made us aware the danger that there really is no going back now. |

MetaThPr4h said: 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. 1. That's speculation, but probably not. Reg helps a LOT. She would probably would go there even without Reg, but her chances would be very slim and probably wouldn't end up happy (meaning: alive) 2.Well, also speculation. They are adamant that they will go down to the lowest levels to find Riko's mom and probably will do anything to acomplish that goal. If they manage According to manga they will be going pretty deep. Along the way they will stumble on places, where they are relatively safe and where they can get reasonable help and rest a bit. 3. Well that's is probably the biggest problem of raiding the abyss. Going down is I guess not that tough, but going up again through the curse must be painful. Reg has a huge advantage because of his arms, so you can imagine climbing with ropes upwards must be super difficult. 4. There are no changes of Riko's objective so far, finding her mom is the primary target. However there are inclinations and thoughts, that Riko's trying to be a great cave raider along the way, quite logically. |

Re-watching this episode I realize my problem with the pacing, even without using the manga as a basis. It's so obvious how they were dragging things out for time, every conversation is so slow and there's so many pauses and long extended shots of the characters doing something for like 10 seconds in total silence. It's pretty awkward and doesn't flow well. I understand they were going for the whole adventure aspect and trying to spend more time on the first layer but it was just badly directed to me. |

"Oh, nothing mechanical about those balls of yours, I see!" - Habo I'M DEAD. Hahahaha! When Habo-san hugged Regu and Riko, it was so sweet. He must be protected at all cost; he's too precious bumble bear. Gaaaah! Why is this show keeps getting better and better? It's sooo gooood. I just love how this show makes us feel we're going on a terrifying yet fun journey with Regu and Riko, and I honestly want to know more about the Abyss (even though I'm so scared). It's so mysterious, it's killing me. It's like exploring the deepest of our ocean, or like Dante's Inferno (for the nth time) I can't wait for the next episode. I need more of this anime, and the waiting sucks as hell. :/ |

I was kinda expecting something HUGE to happen in this episode so to see that it didn't happen, I was a bit underwhelmed HOWEVER the adventure aspects of this episode made up for it and I LOVE that Black Whistle guy....I wish he stayed with them but oh well, I'm rooting hard for Reg and Riko (But I feel like this forrest is gonna be fucked up lol and I REALLY wanna see this other White Whistle lady now) |

Grimmgeta said: Well I guess I should have mentioned I wasn't just talking about on MAL, most of the complaining I saw was on Reddit. Anyway, from what I gather there are two good ending spots in the manga from a post that I read. Maybe they'll go with the first ending to set up for a second season? Who knows. At this point it's best to just see how the next couple of episodes are paced before worrying too much. There are two places to end it at, but the first is a major "Go Read the Manga" ending that many people will not like, the second is a perfect ending for the anime. |

my biggest complaint was that they needlessly drug several scenes out to fill time. Now they're going to have to waste ~5 minutes of episode 5 getting to where this episode should've ended. And if they are shooting for a chapter 26 ending, why did they cut so much out of episodes 1 and 2, if character/world building was so important. Between the both of them there's a bout 1/3 of an episode of content/dialog removed. Warranted...depending how the rest of adaption is handled, this might in the end be alright....but it is worrisome that they might drop the ball and start butchering things towards the end if it turns out they are shooting for a chapter 38 ending and have to start rushing a bunch to get there if they don't start showing a more brisk pace by the next episode. On the other hand, if they're shooting a 26 ending, they will have to drag scenes out to make sure it ends where 26 does, and might be saving the parts cut/skipped to slip into other episodes via flashbacks or introspection to pad run time. my only real concern is that it's still not 100% clear which ending they're going for so I'm a bit conflicted on how much to recommend the series at the moment since I'm not sure how much hype to build. if it ends at 26 that's ok but it's going to be a MUCH different season than ending on 38. (It's like ending OPM Season 1 on Sea King instead of Boros) Of course if you take the OP and ED literally, it's actually going to end on chapter 28. Which is about as big of a kick in the dick as you can get for a season finale. It's like pulling up to Baramos's castle in DQIII and the game ending and telling you congrats now wait 5-6 years for the continuation. ---------------------------- on a side note, HOLY CRAP that ED is more hilarious than I ever imagined it being now that the translation is out. |

Mariecat1 said: Then we'll just switch over to the manga *thumbs up*This pace is worrisome, it had great pace and then it was shattered in this episode. The episode was good as usual though. I read in an article that the director said that in the anime, the final parts could be rushed. This is not good especially for the best dad arc. How could they showcase him in his true glory? Another thing that stresses me is what if they remove the dark scenes that make up the manga? Are they really gonna make it PG? I hope not.

It's highly likely it's going for 38 (or ending somewhere NO ONE has predicted thus far). Based on the OP Bondrewd's scene is from chapter 32. Reg's is from 28. Nanachi's is from 25. Riko's is from 18. The ED also implies AT LEAST 28 visually as the ending cave is the same one Reg's scene is in. ---------------------------------- Just praying they don't screw it up. |

i'm really enjoying this anime, it's so different and refreshing from the other ones i'm watching. with each episode i feel more and more sad that it's only 13 episodes. seeing every layer is really interesting as well, i wish they spent more time on each layer though. the creatures and setting would be something really fun to show imo one thing that bothers me though, is that all these adults who know the dangers of the abyss are letting this little girl go on a suicide mission. obviously she's the MC and all so she'll be fine but they don't know that. from their knowledge, they should understand that she'll pretty much die |

1.The first thing I noticed is her waking the robot up. Typical woman: cannot stand seeing a man resting or having fun without her 2. Her cooking is okeish and the robot says it is not as horrible as another meal she cooked. Also memorizing the recipe does not make one a cook. 3. losing the compass was a big hit. 4. the poor old guy. I pity him for having such a rash niece |

It's only 4 episodes so I guess that I'm just worrying too much. 1. no she could not. Look at the first episode again 2. well it depends on how fast one tries to get there. Think of it like scuba diving at big depths. 3. provided they stay enough at each level to let their body adjust it should be possible. Hard but possible. 4. well what you expect the objective to be? It was based on an impulse of the moment. |

To the manga readers, I actually think we're on time for everything, if my guesses are correct: The next episode would feature Reg, his Incinerator, and probably show them going to the Seeker Camp. Episode 6 will be their encounter with Ozen and her nightmare faces. Episode 7 will be their goodbye. Episode 8 will end with their encounter with Nanachi. Episode 9 will be her showing Reg the true nature of the Abyss. Episode 10 is Riko cuddling up to Nanachi and them moving to the Idofront. Episode 11 is their interaction with you know who. Episode 12 end with Reg electrocuted and the start of the final battle. Episode 13 is the final fight. Of course, those are all wild guesses with nothing to back them up. |

Guys, hoping that anime will reach up to around 39th chapter was a mistake. Don't you know that production starts some time before th reveal? This was announced before Christmas if we assume the they started preproduction half year earlier means they only had up to around 28th chapter. |

lol why are people complaining about the pacing? It's better to take things slowly than to rush it just to get to a certain arc before the end of the series. And tbh I love slow paced adventure stuff. Kino no Tabi and Mushishi are the best things ever. I haven't read the manga so I don't know how long this is, but I'd much rather have them keep taking things slow and make another season later on than making it more fast paced than it has been. I loved this episode, for me it just keeps getting better and better. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |

This episode was also darn good! Dammit, the way this is explaining the world mechanics in a interesting way that I also wanted to go something similar to this Abyss world... :( 4.99/5 for this episode.Since Last episode this show has already taken my interest and I am glad to know that white-haired adult boy was not left out entirely in the story yet. Also the new old man's character was cool (Rider from FZ appeared into the depth of Abyss?!) |

because it's unclear where they're ending the season. If B-dog wasn't in the OP it would be clear they were sticking with a 26 ending and manga readers could relax. Currently it appears to be a 28 ending or 38 ending. While a 38 ending is the best place overall to end, but it needs to be paced well from episode 1 to make sure they don't butcher anything important to get there, which may happen if they have an inconsistent pace and miss opportunities to pace things tightly without losing material. But going slow for no benefit is a waste of run time that may be cutting content from the later episodes. Now warranted...we're only 1 episode behind my intial story-board so far, WHICH depending on what cuts they're forced to make for censoring purposes, may keep us on track for a 38 regardless, though it still irks me slightly about how janky their filler solution was. If they wanted to kill time, show us some more background scenes about the first layer as they travel. Instead of trying to be sneaky and tack 5-10 seconds awkwardly on everything scene to fill time without adding anything new. On the other hand...given how awkwardly they expanded the spider scene...I'm not sure how well that would've went. Their edits to scenes that were switched around in the first couple episodes also had awkward pauses, so maybe it is better they stay light on original content/edits since they clashed with the otherwise natural flow of the scenes. (I didn't mention them initially because I assumed it was only the first two episodes they messed with to get a strong First episode which was alright even if there were a few janky moments) |

Woah, I'm loving it. The pacing indeed felt slower, but I loved it, we got to experience the journey, which in my opinion is a strong point the anime adaptation has to take advantage of. Riko and Reg have such an interesting relationship, she's just adorable. Of thing I noticed so far is how self-aware of its rather complex interactions the anime is. Whenever I had any doubt about something, e.g how for down the mail balloon still works, it would be explained in some details shortly after. Really excited for the episodes, so many mysteries to be revealed! MetaThPr4h said: 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. Of course going down is dangerous and all that, but I think they're making it sound like the real problem is actually going back up. I remember them saying something about nausea, body deformation and even death when trying to go back up from deeper layers. That's why there maybe are some white whistles still alive down there, since they can't go up otherwise they would die, they just stay on the deeper layers. Well, that's what I get of it so far, the mystery aspect of this is actually quite amusing. |

4 episodes in and this anime is giving me the feeling that relatively few anime give me: the urge to binge watch all of it until 2am in the morning! Sadly that can't happen seeing it hasn't finished airing it. What a shame... :( I'm loving the series so far. The animation is like something out of Studio Ghibli, the soundtrack (especially the OP) is on point, the world-building is (so far) well developed, the intriguing plot is proceeding at a nice steady pace but best of all, I love the characters and their interactions! Riko and Regu have a nice bond and make a great team! Can't wait to see more of this series, I'll definitely be watching this every week. |

Good atmosphere,. If anything, the mystery keeps adding up in a good direction. |
