  Hi kids! Do you like violence?

  There's no doubt that longing for the unknown has been a major driving force in the human history, as it urged us to discover and explore. Even when the process is dangerous, the thirst for something new and grand often proves too much to care for any hazard or menace. "When your minds made up, there's no point trying to change it."

  And not unlike sailors who boarded ships towards the New World back in 15th century, the characters of "Made in Abyss" can't resist the urge to get inside the titular pit which leads as far as 20 km into the ground. It boasts an unique microclimate, with fantastical plants and vicious animals, as well as the “Curse”, a mysterious illness caused by ascending within its confines. But more importantly, the depth is filled with artifacts of various characteristics which are sold to people all around the world. As such exploring the Abyss became a viable job, allowing people of all ages and backgrounds to make a living by scavenging the dangerous area for objects that could be of value.

  One aspect of the unknown is that you can never know just how dangerous it really is. The Abyss is divided into layers, with first one believed to be relatively safe and a good starting point for pretty young children to practice their scavenging. But one day something unexpected happens, as during one of those training escapades, a blonde girl named Riko gets cornered by a large monster. She's all but gone, when suddenly, a mysterious stranger appears and saves her. This experience does not discourage the kid whatsoever, as she's still eager to get a higher rank and thus earn the right to delve deeper into the void.

  This is pretty much the crux of this show. The abyss keeps proving to be as awful as everyone says, and then some. It's constantly portrayed as an insanely dangerous, cruel and miserable land. It's a place that no sane person should ever want to find themselves in. Yet despite all that, there are people who keep returning. Hell, some even decide to inhabit it. For all these souls, there is something the outside world can't provide them with. They have a thirst that only be quenched by this equally hazardous and fascinating land, the terrain as terrible as it is beautiful. They will stand strong in face of any misfortune and danger. Maybe that in itself is enough to be their reward. Or perhaps the real prize awaits them at the end of the journey. Who knows?

  "Made in Abyss" seems to take great delight in torturing its characters, both physically and psychologically. This is done in contrast to show’s fable-like artstyle and atmosphere. They get beaten up, hurt, sick, are put in awful conditions and told terrible things. They are in constant state of terror and peril. Their victories are short lived and the dangers just line up one after another. Every misstep can cost a life, and sometimes plain bad luck is enough to end the journey in a casket (or more likely, a monster's intestines). The people molded by this crude world tend to be rough and lack sympathy, or simply forget how to express it. It may seem pointless to ask them for help, but doing so just may set you apart from those too stubborn to admit weakness, and cause a change of heart. In the world so void of earnestness, you can't help but want to get behind those who still haven't lost their spark.

  Fantasy World without Isekai in it

  

  So, do you looking for a adventure to the fantasy world without being transferred to another world ? here the answer. Made in Abyss are going to take you to the deep of Abyss wich is place can't be founded anywhere, the Landscape, the Nature, the Artifact, the Mystery everything is about Abyss that is unique it own. People who had seen the face of Abyss will can not resist to get in there and exploring the underworld of abyss, but nothing is safe when someone are getting inside they are start getting a pressure of the abyss called 'Curse of Abyss' a mysterious illness caused by ascending within its confines. When the Curse haunting, delver can found various Artifacts and Lansdcape the Artifact can be sold to people around the world and the Landscape can make you famous by telling the story of it, there more thing dangerous in the abyss such as the Monster or the Nature of it more importanly Abyss is divided into layers. First layer are known as safety layer so can be used to training by newbie delvers or we can called it a really young delvers. the story start when Riko a young delver getting cornered by big monster, between life and death Riko screaming for help that maybe will not being heard by anyone but suddenly a laser beam shooted hit the monster and save Riko, after that she find a boy that she realize that it was the boy saved her and not just that she think he is not human rather more like robot, without preamble she immediately decided to take him home. Riko and her friend trying to wake him up to ask many question about what is he but unfortunately he lost his memory making everything is still a mystery to solve. Not long after Riko found Reg name given by Riko the delver team back from the Abyss bringing a White Whistel belong to Lyza The Destroyer and documents writed by Lyza, Riko was telled she can see the document when she was looking the document it was a exploration journal everything writen there is what Lyza have been seen inside there even there record that she have seen and watching Reg but there one make this kids curious, in one of the document writen 'Im waiting down here'. So i not gonna tell more about the story its going to spoiled up everything the opening story is really making me really curious to hell man, what kind of journey will the take to the abyss ? did Lyza, Riko Mother really waiting down there in deep of Abyss ? what Reg is ? everything is still a mystery to solve.

  

  when the story making me curious the other aspects is giving a perfect connection to the anime such as Art, Music and the Characters. when i was watching episode one the first thing i can see is a really great art the Lanscape and the Effects are making really great sync that make it look really real i even can feel it i can imagine if was there and just being amazed. the most important is the monster are not using a CG that make me 'woa dude they really giving a great job to it' they're moving so smooth and looks like life for me atleast. The Music was composed by Kevin Penkin. 'Underground River' that played at opening is sounds great i sure people are looking for the soundtrack as fast as they can after hear that not only that another soundtrack are connecting great to the animation that making the anime are really enjoyable to watch. Characters are the aspect point that debate to much by all my friend lets said 6/10 of my friend were droping it after looking the characters design they said 'the face is so rounded' or 'a young children ?' or 'is that really 2m freaky old girl ?' but hey that how fantasy work and it without Isekai shit so i not give a shit about it but you must know the characters are not having really good time since they are traveling to the Abyss even they're children there no escape for being violated.

  after all this was good anime this can hit me hard again as an fantasy anime, before it was No Game No Life its been 4 years ago and i've waitin another fantasy anime that really giving me a sensation of the fantasy of it, NGNL maybe is giving hanging end but Made in Abyss for me is not hanging, one season of it alerdy satisfied me if there second it was bonus for me.

  My Score (0.0 - 10.0 Decimal)
  
  Story : 8.0
  Music : 8.1
  Art : 8.2
  Characters : 7.9
  Enjoyment : 9.8
  Overall : 8.4

  Yes, I cried. Am I proud of it? Uh, yeah, of course! A creative and emotionally beautiful ride.

  I cannot say many anime have made me bawl like a child but I am proud to say this one has. Made In Abyss was an emotional ride for me. Filled with moments that made me smile and uplift my soul and dreadful truths that sunk my heart into temporary but shocking depression. I don't believe in the inane three episode rule because it is completely subjective. An arbitrary limiter put on a show is stupid and if you want to stick to a show until the 300th episode to see if it gets any good that is entirely your prerogative. However, that rule is perfect for this show because the first three episodes work like an introduction to an epic and it is completely mesmerizing. It hooks you by showing you the world through the eyes of likable characters, specifically Riko and Regu. Riko is a young girl who wants to venture out into a deep pit that means certain death accompanied by her robot friend, Regu. Riko wants to travel deep into the abyss because of the possibility of meeting up with her Mother, a proud white whistle and her natural curiosity that is deeply rooted in her genuine character. Regu, curious about his origin he also delves into the abyss because he wants answers that only the deep dark pit can answer, and their very adorable relationship will keep you invested. Even the supporting characters that we will not see much of like Nat and the rest of the kids are well written. Their motivations are clear and they have depth and that is all I can really ask for. The animation is top notch. It consistently reminds me of a Ghibli film. You are completely invested in the world because the artwork is great. From the landscapes that make up the city surrounding the abyss to the abyss itself, it is beautiful. The sense of danger is imminent and I can greatly I appreciate that aspect. This review is sort of half-assed but I just needed to get my brief opinions out there. I give this a 5/5 because it did everything well. Made In Abyss, in my eyes is a masterpiece.
