Girl: Look a robot
Girl: Oh i really wanna go into that deep hole.
Girl: I need company.
Girl: He can be my friend.




The story is maleficent and flawless. When you see the Made in Abyss poster, it makes you think of an RPG game like League of Legends.

A girl named Riko from a village goes cave raiding with her friend Nat, where she meets a robot named Reg. Then together Riko and Nat wan't to achieve something, by going into the abyss, a dangerous whole inside of the earth that has a curse and people who drop inside of the dark hole are likely to affected by ... this curse. The story feels exciting, and is what would make you think of disaster and suspense, especially due to young kids doing this, as grown up teenagers at age 16 would find this generally easier.



The art is what i'd call light, friendly looking and glowy. the characters has that chibi like design, especially with the large eyes separated from the mouth and rather than a fully drawn nose, they have a normal dot. People may think that prior to the design of the cute, friendly looking characters, that this show is for children, but they're wrong. The art isn't what i expected it to be at first, as to why i had to stay away from that show at first. But looking at all the normal tsundere anime girls that people find in normal shows with a normal, straight forward character design, i just got fed up with them and so i wanted to get away from them and take a look at this show.


The sound is very amazing and the OST is underrated, the music is just great. The OP is what makes you think of adventure, and the ending song is like a relief to such a disturbing show, which is why it's great. Even though some songs at the beginning are composed by Australians (Has an English voice), it's an enjoyable, catchy tune to rise up your mood. Now don't be such a weeaboo and say, "Y U NO HAVE JAPANESE VOICE THIS SHOW IZ SHIT". The acting is well presented, and since i'm going off topic about the voice actors in the show and focusing on the OST music, i should say the cast is very talented and the voices are accurate, they had put a lot of work into getting talented casts.


The characters are so lovable and memorable, don't think there is gonna be attractive, tsundere characters however. The characters have different personalities. Riko is an optimistic girl with a bright personality upon meeting Reg. Nat is a well organised boy who is strict and careful over Riko, despite being against her plan, and saying some harmful things to Riko as well (Says her mum died in episode 3, making her cry). Nat is a caring boy who just wants to make sure everyone is safe. Reg is a boy in the shape of a robot who just wants to make Riko feel safe. Ouzen is an old lady with a cold personality, but she's only harsh cause she wants them to succeed their adventure into the abyss. As she did with Riko's mother Lyza, she treated her the same way she treated Riko and Reg, at one point, Ouzen was gonna destroy Reg, as she slammed him many times to the ground, but seeing he won't break, she thought he was worth. Therefore Ouzen gave the two main characters a chance. Lastly Nanachi, is a "final form", she along with her friend Mitty, had their appearance changed forever as a result of an experiment that had to do with one of the layers in the abyss. (Mitty looked like a monster and Nanachi looked like a rabbit).
Even though that had happened, Nanachi still has a cool and normal personality, even when she had Reg kill Mitty whilst Riko was being treated after bleeding away in episode 10. They still have cool and peaceful personalities.


I really enjoyed watching this anime. There is a lot of backstory and drama, plus thrilling, breath taking scenes. You may think this anime was made for kids, but this is a disturbing, dark anime that is more intense and is probably more twisted than Madoka Magica. Made in Abyss premium anime you are not able to view on Crunchyroll. That is said, can be viewed on Prime Video or HIDIVE outside North America.

Overall - 10, i recommend this anime to many viewers who's a fan of the best anime, e.g Hunter x Hunter, One Piece etc.

Heavy Spoiler Alert.



This movie is so rushed, i was surprised by the score on MAL by some thick-headed users. I don't get how a supporting character in the main anime series is a villain that still wins in the movie and yet still survives. I'm talking about Jibril. Litterally no development in this movie at all. Jibril turns into a villain and all this movie does is feature characters die for no reason.

Another flaw is, other than the villain winning is the character development, angry, hot-headed Riku. Ex-Machina waifu, Schwi. Nothing more than just a "improved" version of Shiro. Riku is pissed off cause he ... let forty-something humans die, yet he takes this all on "this world", that "this world" is a so-called "horrible" place, yet it's Riku, who is to blame. Did this world tell him to let them all die?

All of a sudden, it's ancient Disboard, it feels like it's always been war, some unrealistic world that's technically a less colourful version of the Anime, what war is this? I thought there are dragons, creatures that kill humans, i mean they are in the movie, why aren't the characters fighting them?

It doesn't follow the plot. They're planning something out, seconds later, it's just one fucking conversation with apparently "cutesy" fairies with elf ears. Or then the character loses courage and gets upset.

"Don't let anyone die", is what Riku states, but we litterally saw 40 something people die and our two heroes die.

The only good thing is, there was no fan service.

And that is my review. I hope the MAL mods don't get pissed off and remove my review, it's my opinion so let me share it, thank you very much.

Since my first review was shit i decided i'd re-review it

I watched this film before watching Pixar's Cars.

First of all, the story, is what you'd call, coming-of-age. A witch-in-training goes to the big city to become a fully-fledged witch like the rest of her family. It's just like any other coming of age story e.g Wonder, Boyhood, etc for other live action films. Kiki's Delivery Service is all about friendship, forgiveness, generosity and the disaster. The friendship part is for making friends at a new town. The forgiveness is for giving someone you hate the benefit of the doubt and generosity is for helping one ... another and the disaster part is for losing something valuable. It's something for a family to enjoy, to embrace and gives them a list of lessons to learn from this movie, but which this isn't my type.


The art is just like every other Ghibli movie's art, small eyes, a large nose and a normal drawn nose. But these characters are drawn more brighter, their colour is more enhanced with light skin. The characters and the artwork is well-drawn, for an old movie.


Since i watched the dubbed version of the movie on TV, i should easily review the actors into one sentence. Unexpected. When people watch dubs, their voices are very horrible and the acting is just off key, we get confused cause we don't know what on earth they're saying. Technically, dubs are prone to being more hard to understand than subs. But since this is an old dub, they might've put a lot of money into this. Getting a talented cast like those you've seen in anime like Cowboy Bebop or Fullmetal Alchemist in which they have talented dub casts is hard work, especailly for a film. These voices match the characters, their personalities and their appearance. Kiki's voice is like a middle aged girl. Tombo's voice sounds like a random schoolboy and his personality makes you think of a pervert. Kiki and Jiji is just like Sailor Moon and Luna. Kiki likes to ignore Jiji during most of the film, as much as Usagi ignoring Luna in the beginning of Sailor Moon.


The characters, aren't how i imagined. Tombo, is one of the characters of the movie. Kiki's personality, as we may think at the start is cold-hearted, care-free. Tombo you may think of him as perverted. Jiji, i think of an ignored character who's mainly left out for the entirety of the movie. Not very supporting, and you know why? Cause Kiki never took his advice, which is why she lost her powers, due to her cold personality. Which at that point, i started to dislike the personality a lot. But as the movie progresses, her personality cools down. Just like a romantic story, Kiki and Tombo at first start as enemies, but they become allies at the end. I personally like this movie cause of the lessons these characters teach you, some valuable lessons. Kiki, is just, what my favourite word for her is, spiritual.


I still enjoyed this movie, even though the hand full amount of flaws that still buzzed around the movie. I watched this on TV, and dubbed. I think i should review the first Cars movie next.

Overall: 8
