Both have cute art and characters that are juxtaposed with unsettling dark themes and psychological horror.
Both have similar themes about memory loss and trying to reclaim the truth of the world that they live in. Kaiba lost his memories and wants them back and goes on a journey. Reg lost his memories and wants them back, Riko goes on a journey with him.
-both are adventurous
-both feature a main character with no memories
-nice visuals, chibi character designs and Ghibli-esque background art in Made in Abyss, cartoony everything in Kaiba
-generally well looking, but for completely different reasons
-both look childish at a first glance, but in reality are completely messed up

Behind the cute artistic style, whether it's with the abyss of MiA or the universe of Kaiba, we discover a violent, dark, disturbing reality, which allows to explore mature and human themes.
With beautiful visuals and a breathtaking soundtrack, the 2 series make us think about ourselves and our society, through a unique storytelling that immerses us in their universe, alongside complex and human characters.
We find in both the atmosphere of a world so big where we find ourselves so tiny and alone, the worldbuilding is fantastic and the anime is very emotional at times.
