You were expecting it to be a light, even aimed for kids, show where you could just turn off your brain and relax with cuteness until you were brutally betrayed at episode 3, right? In a similar fashion, Made in Abyss darkly twists every expectation you could have from its cheerful and animation and design, showing that no one is really safe in the Abyss. If you liked the darker tone Madoka Magica assumed throughout the series, then you'll enjoy how Riko's casts will fare in their epic and transforming journey to the darkness below.
