Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

asjab-51250 This is several hours of my life I'm not getting back. A childlike artstyle and annoying characters that tackle harsh questions is the foundation that keeps this mess together. This anime is clearly written by a man because all of the jokes (and there are way to many) get really old really fast. The main character is an annoying stupid girl in constant need of rescue. Despite having studied The Abyss and knows all about it, she constantly ends up in danger such as getting kidnapped by corpsewhisperers and falling straight into the mouth of an enemy! I've never wanted a main character to die so much just so that this horrible stupid show would come to an end. Not to mention that most of the episodes are repetitive and shows chunks upon chunks of the same clips that has already been seen. Proving that they really have no idea of where to go and make a solid story. And then the show ends on.. not even a cliffhanger, more like a small ledge that I'm willing to ignore and never go back to.I seriously hope it doesn't get a second season because people who like this crap does not deserve nice things.

phantom_pixie This anime starts off as a semi-compelling story about a young girl that want to explore a cave system known as The Abyss. During one exploration day she finds a boy who looks human but isn't. She names him Reg and together the go on an adventure to discover the abyss. So far so good, it it's a story with a mystery and lots of lore. It is drawn in a cute style and lulles you in to a false sense of security thinking that nothing bad can happen in an anime this adorable. But you would be so wrong to think that. The deeper our main characters go in the abyss, the darker the show gets. Up to the finale where you feel utterly disguited by what humans can do to others. A very interesting anime clearly made for adults, this is nothing you leave on for your kids, and I strongly urge people to keep a close look at the recomended guidelines for viewing.The main bother about this anime is that it is slow as dirt. Many of the episodes recap big chunks of the previous episode. Given that an episode is about 20 minutes, wasting 5 or more of those on recaps looses you 25% or more of the runtime. At first I thoughts this was done to pad the runtime in lack of substance to fill 13 episodes, but the show finales without an ending and with more unsolved plotlines than solved ones.

owenmayay You can tell there was a ton of effort put into this series. As someone who doesn't like the current trends in anime these days, I found massive enjoyment watching Made in Abyss. This might not make sense, but it feels really pure and new. I highly recommend just diving straight into this series without knowing much about it.

nodlimax This show went from one I was intending to skip to my favorite this season. When you look at the initial picture for the anime it looks like it is made for children due to the art style.After hearing that this is not a kids show I thought that I'd give it a try and it really is an interesting even though sometimes cruel anime where especially at the end of this seasons you might want to have some tissue in range to wipe away tears.The premise is that there is an abyss on a specific island and adventurers will go into the abyss to get treasure. It sounds like a typical dungeon crawler show at first glance. However there is a twist. The deeper you go, the harder it will hit your body when you return to the higher layers and town. It starts with possibly throwing up and goes till death/loss of once humanity. For the latter there are no specifics what this exactly means.So you go in and could get great loot, but the price might be your live.The story centers around a young girl that enters the abyss with a specific goal in mind and is accompanied by robot that also looks like a kid and was coming from the Abyss.We have a slow start that introduces the main as well as various other characters and hints on what happens with you in the abyss. Halfway through the show it will pick up though and is not suited for children at all anymore. There is a lot of mental and physical pain put on the characters and we always have to remind ourselves that these two behave like and are children. So for some this will be hard to watch.In addition it will show the painful results of injuries and doesn't hide anything. Still the show manages to put in lighter moments with humor as well.It is overall well written and I think the pacing of the show is fine even with the slow start, because when it goes dark it hits you even harder with it.I'd highly recommend it. However I give it an 8/10 because the story is unfinished and I'd preferred the art style to be a bit more adult. If you like the art style overall you could take it as a 9/10.Btw. the soundtrack for this show is amazing.
