"SFX: Loli spilling noises"
Damn now I want to go in and edit the video to call them that lol
Lol that remembered me of the SFX Loli struggling too poop
"SFX: Shota suffering noises"
Stop
I want everyone to know that this is my favorite comment thread
Hey dude, thanks once again for having me on!
It feels weird to compliment you on a video we shared in making, but since you handled the editing, I just wanted to say this had a lot of really nice moments that kept my attention, and fit thematically with the point of the video, as well as what we are saying. I'll work to keep it just as slick in the Gurren Lagann one. I think this turned out great. Thanks again man. Keep makin good stuff.
It was awesome having you on, man! I appreciate the compliments, too ^_^ I'm definitely looking forward to that Gurren Lagann colab
Made in Abyss - The anime / manga that DEMAAANDS a video game adaptation. Everything is there.
Leveling Systems - Whistles
Areas for different levels - Layers of the Abyss
Mechanics - The curse
Leveling hubs - Orth, the seeker camp (conveniently placed in the lower parts of the second layer, so it can also function as a hub for the third layer), Nanachis 'house', Idofront (and possibly the [MINOR MANGA SPOILERS] Narehate village)
Monetary progression - More and more valuable artifacts
Spending the money - Useful relics, new gear (backpacks, pickaxes, ...), ...
Gear progression - Useful relics that are found and/or bought
Enemies - Many many creatures of the Abyss
Bosses - Splitjaw, Ozen, That weird Porcupine (I can never remember its name), Bondrewd, ...
And all that with either Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-esque gameplay or Monster hunter-esque gameplay.
I absolutely agree. I'm just waiting for something like that to be announced. If it looked good, I'd go full ham with excitement.

Ehhh, I can't see this particular show working well as a game....
princessthyemis you know, this show's setting asks a roguelike treatment.
I was playing Etrian Odyssey a lot when I watched this and thought they were a bit similar
Man, even a video analysis about it is hard to watch. This moment of Made in Abyss will haunt me forever, and I meant it in a sort of good way, this is a memorable show.
Yeah, it was one hell of a scene. A truly great show.
Wow, I knew this show was popular but I'd never really looked into it, I thought it looked childish (not in a bad way mind you) and didn't look like my kind of thing, but wow I got chills while you were describing that scene. Yet another new show that's piqued my interest thanks to you :)
Nice! I hope you enjoy it once you get around to it, bud ^_^
Lowart Thank you :)
Now that I've gotten a more in-depth look into the show, I'm pretty sure it's going to hold my attention if nothing else ^^
Holy fuck I literally just finished the show then saw this on the top recommendations
Nice! Thanks for watching, bud ^_^
Id love to finish this video
I usually dont care about spoilers but all the good things Ive heard about Made in Abyss and the first 4 minutes of this video really make me want to watch it
So Ill be back in some time
Y*Otosaka I still have to watch it too so you are not alone.
Good choice! It's a really solid show :) I look forward to hearing back from you on it once you've given it a watch ^_^
Y*Otosaka make sure to have some tissues ready
Thomas Fernandez make sure to have some tissues ready
Make sure you don't forget to reply when you're done :')
This review should have include ep 13 too :P.
Good review though.
Yeah, I think I agree with you. I really wanted to get this one out as soon as the show had finished, but I do think that has a bit of a negative impact on the video itself, so I'm not going to be doing that in future.
Thanks for watching and letting me know what you think, bud :)
For me personally, I was allured towards the story telling. Also, Nanachi is my fave character now :)
Nanachi's my fave too! Such fantastic characterization and depth, especially considering that she didn't get nearly as much screen time as Reg and Riko did
Thanks for making this video. As I began reading the manga along with watching the show, I was amazed by how well the anime was adding to the story and filling in the details. Episode 9 is an especially good example of that. Its something that Made In Abyss doesn't get enough credit for.
Absolutely agreed! And I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :)
this has to be the most faithful adaption, of pretty much anything i have ever seen. a lot of it seems to be almost panel by panel acurate.
Yeah, it's extremely faithful, and that makes me incredibly happy. I mean, I'm not saying that an adaptation that changes things is bad--but I felt that this adaptation managed to even accentuate and add some small things that enhanced the story for me. A really great show.
JoJo is really good too so far
From what I understand form another video, the director (I think) did another anime series which was a 1 to 1 recreation of the manga (anime was exactly like the manga). Its still great to see a series done like this though.
Hey man, I love your videos especially the way you present it, so cheers to that. Also can you do like a video on:
1. Classroom of the elite(want to know about ayanokoji's past
2. Black clover( why is it being compared to Naruto)
3. March comes in like a lion( why it more than just an anime.
Thanks, bud! I'm happy that you enjoyed them :)
I'll put all of those in my list of video ideas! I might not be able to get to them since I have a ton of projects on the go at the moment, but I will keep them in mind and be sure to make a video on at least one of those shows if I have a chance :)
i haven't read or seen this show yet. but a proper adaption is so rare. they always have to change or add things especially when it comes to the heavier sexual/violent scenes. them deciding to show that much was a really good move.
adding more impact thus making scenes more memorable.
even madoka magicas anime didn't avoid changes. it really is a shame they do it. because more often than not the source material is best.
yeah a proper adaptation is really rare! I definitely agree.
I always thought that madoka magica was an original anime. what was it based off of?
pretty sure it is based off the manga *Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica* (12 chapters)
it does have several other manga related to the universe
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_chapters
and a PSP game.
ua-cam.com/video/cakMtQMHGMk/v-deo.html
fans of the anime should definitely check out all they can. it adds more depth to the characters.
oh it looks like it says that the manga was based on the anime, which is pretty unusual. that's pretty cool though if you preferred the manga; I might have to check that out!
Don't
I really like this anime. After the first two episodes I was thinking how much it reminded me of a Studio Ghibli film but as it went on, oh boy. I believe this is the best anime I have seen in a longtime, a future classic.
Yeah, it did have a lot of that Ghibli vibe to it towards the start. I definitely agree that it's going to be looked back on as a classic. One of the best anime of 2017 that's for sure
Man, when seeing Riko like that again in the video just brought back so many emotions i felt when watching the show and i didn't even need any audio
5:50
This is a nice ASMR creepypasta reading.
Great video man! Just one quick recommendation to slightly improve the quality of your videos: you should take mother's basement as an example and put some of the anime's soundtrack so that the background doesn't feel empty between your words. Instantly subbed btw, keep it up
Thanks, bud! I really appreciate it, and I appreciate your suggestion too :) I did have some music playing in the background, but listening back to it now it was way too quiet, to the point of being nearly silent most of the time. So thank you for bringing that to my attention; I'll try to fix it for my future videos. ^_^
i discovered your chanel yesterday and i couldnt stop consuming the fma series, great job keep it on.
hope you have enaugh time/energy to keep this going
sry for the broken english
Thanks, bud! Yeah, I think I should have enough time/energy to keep going :) I enjoy doing it, so that's the main thing that matter at the moment I think.
Also, your English is pretty good, so no need to worry about that :)
What a GREAT video! This scene was /insane/, and your awesome video makes me want to watch the enitre season over again, even though I just recently finished!
Aw thanks so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video :)
The manga's drawings are so breathtaking.
Great job with this video man. I like the new content. You should also put that Hiding in Public's utube channel in
your details as well. I think some people may appreciate that.
Thanks, bud! I really appreciate it :)
Also, hank you for reminding me to put his info in the description! I totally missed that somehow
Too many anime I never heard of!
Just out of curiosity, what are some of your favourite anime, bud? Maybe I'll make a video on one of them if it's something I know or something I'd be interested in watching :)
Lowart my top 3 pick would have to be Bleach!, Hero Acadamia, and kokoro connect. (Am currently watching akame ga kill and that might replace kokoro) ✌🏽️
Nice! Thanks for letting me know :) I haven't seen Kokoro Connect yet, so when I have a chance I'll check that one out
Good video! Keep it up, you'll get those subscribers
Thanks, bud! ^_^ I'm happy you enjoyed the video
I really need to watch this show.
Definitely! It's fantastic
The Anime Dude make sure to have a box of tissues
this made me relieved.
I found this serie for a friend of mine, she put the ost and I just say "I have to see this". And well haven't read the manga but the anime itself just caught me so strong and deep. I think it's a really good story and in a visual way its interesting, but the music, I love it so so so much (i was going to put like 10 so xd)
The music is amazing! Absolutely
We need season two!!
Love this anime thought it would be happy and funny but it kept getting sadder ):
Yeah, parts of the last episode especially messed me up, and I don't think I'm that easily phased by this sort of things
Nanachi is the best
What song is used here in the beginning of this video?
Man, great video! Will you guys talk about the adaptations choices on episode 1? It adapts chapter 2 and 3 of the manga. Yeah. The anime practicaly ditched away the first manga chapter.
Awesome. Choice.
See ya! o/
I don't know if we'll make another video on Made in Abyss. Maybe if they make another season :) And yes, it is really interesting what the anime did with the first part of the story (a change which I also thought was beneficial overall)
Thanks, bud! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it :)
Well I haven't read the series although I heard that the manga is pretty good. This anime has been on my radar but honestly I have been slacking with a lot of anime this summer season and so I might pick it up later tho, depending.
Yeah, there's always so much stuff to go through with all the anime that's coming out now! Makes it pretty hard to choose what to watch. I definitely recommend this one, of course, if you ever find the time to get around to it :)
I really like your voice and the way you present your ideas :)
Count me in as an active subscriber
Yay! I'm very happy to have you on board. Thank you for your kind words, too. I really appreciate it, and I look forward to hearing from you on future videos as well, bud ^_^
In episode 9, Riko should have still used the pickaxe to fuck up that fucking snake, to show her how much stronger she has become from the abyss
First of all, I love your picture haha
Second, yeah, that would have been nice to see her using the pickaxe. I'm still happy that she was shown to be quite the badass though, even if it was in a bit of a different way
Lowart yes and then episode 10 promptly knocked her off the badass throne in one swift motion
Yeah, poor Riko D:
4 year old video but just wanted to say that I think the anime is better than the manga because they took out a bunch of the perverted lollie stuff from the manga. The manga had a bunch of exploitative shots that were gross but the anime definitely toned it down which was nice to me.
Made in Abyss is like Dante's Inferno
Yeah, there are some definite similarities there!
Except pedophilic
nice voice and video
reminds me of VaatiVidya
Thanks, bud! I really appreciate it, and I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)
U P W A R D T R E N D haha I get it cause they can’t go up
I really liked this video but it would be great if you made a second video to point out the flaws in the show as well (like the horrid pacing and themes that are geared towards children in episode 9 towards it's end when its suppsoed to be a seinein). It's always important to know that not every show is perfect, and that its perfectly ok for a show to have flaws and to point them out
Thanks! I'm happy that you liked the video :)
Personally, I didn't find the pacing to be as big a problem as most seemed to, and I never found any of the themes to be mishandled or purely geared towards children in a way that didn't resonate with me on some level. I can definitely appreciate why people would have problems with both of these things though; where the manga is fairly fast-paced, this anime is incredibly slow at some points. I just happen to not mind the slow pace, I guess.
I know this is my fault, but I haven't seen the show yet and I feel that A big part of the show was spoiled for me.(again I have no one to blame but my self)I only got to about 4:30ish before I stoped the video. Is the show still worth watching even with that point spoiled?
It is, because it's an anime that relies a lot on worldbuilding and atmosphere, not just one big scene to make the show. There's plenty of multilayered interpersonal dynamic and interaction
I definitely think you should still watch it. I also had that scene spoiled for me, but it didn't really impact my enjoyment of the show in any serious ways.
Thank you all for your input.
I read all the manga chapters and still enjoyed this show from beginning to end. Even if you know what is going to happen, the adaptation is simply stunning and the OST is the best I've ever seen in an anime. You'll watch just because it is delightful to, no need for any other reasons.
hey listen you can say anything is the best but if its not berserk i wont agree i dont even care if it applies you can say BLANK is best food and id say then you havent read berserk
looks like I better start reading Berserk then! ^_^
Hey Lowart can you do an analysis on Vinland Saga, it's a really underrated manga!
Hey, bud! Sorry I must have missed this comment. UA-cam does this stupid thing where it doesn't notify me of replies, so I miss them sometimes :/ But yes, I've added it to my list of manga to read! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Like
Thanks, bud! ^_^
Bondrewd Did Nothing wrong ;)
-gasp- you monster!
First (Hour)!
Nice! So speedy ^_^
Lowart Senpai noticed me!! (Trying to be funny. This was my first you've reply from a creator. Dankeschön!)
I still think the Manga is better overall.
I don't like the pacing the Anime has. It just moved way too slow pretty much all the timer after episode 2.
This is my biggest complaint. Things like:
- characters taking a few seconds to turn around and then talk, only after fully turning
-chracters (Reg) standing still while thinking (a normal person would not stop moving just to think two sentences, they would keep moving and keep doing what they do)
- characters barely talking while moving in general
- characters acting one after another, not simultaneous
- animals waiting for Riko and Reg to get ready, not going in right away
Things like this really take me out of a series. In the Manga, you don't notice these things, because time is frozen, but if you adapt it, you ahve to find workarounds. Either change the show composition, shorten dialouge, or add scenes/shots where the dialouge can fit in.
It also really took me out of it during the scene you were praising so much in this video.
Reg moves so slowly, pausing to highlight his shaking eyes (also a really stupid effect in my opnion, but well it's not too bad I guess, i just don't like it) slowly panning over to Riko body, while time is clearly passing as normal (as indicated by his shaking eyes).
And streching like this happens a lot during those 8min the scene lasts.
To me, this scene was so special in the Manga also because it was moving so fast while reading, only being 10 pages.
It really felt like Reg was in panic, rushing to save Riko before she (as he thinks) will die to the poison and bleeding in the next few minutes (and she might have, as her breathing stopped for a while). In the Anime, it felt like he was taking his time being shocked and looking at her. It never felt actually urgent to help her right that moment. And this continues when nanchi shows up. Reg takes his time talking to her, standing still for a few seconds to look shocked when she shows up, and both Nanachi and Reg talk pretty slow keeping in mind Riko dying right next to them.
Things like that destroy an Anime for me. Too slow pacing resulting from lackluster understanding of how to do dynamic visuals during a conversation. In a Manga it is enough, to make a panel look good. Sure, page layout and reading pattern matter to convey timing and movement, and enhance effect, but overall the individual shot comes first.
However, you can't just carbon copy this into a medium with movement. You need to restructure things, because people don't stop moving to talk and think. Shots shouldn't linger like they do in Manga.
I think they tried to follow specific shots from the Manga too much, and keep them on screen for too long. It just feel unnatural when characters act like that, and every time it happens, I want to hit the fast foreward key so it moves a little faster.
Really, this is a problem with storyboarding and direction. They did a good job with adding voice acting (although I don't like Ozen's voice for her character) and especially music, and the animations themselves are great. But when it comes to combining them, it doesn't hold up.
They also removed some really flavorful details that really made the Abyss come to life for me. Things like the big snake thing they fight in layer 3 being eaten by the others animals after it falls down from Reg's blow. Just how they instantly rushed to devour it was really scary but also beutiful.
Also, I much prefer the artwork in the Manga. Mostly I dislike the color design in the Anime. I really dislike most of the colors they use, and how they combine them. Also, characters like Ozen and Bondrewd just don't emit the same air of terror they do in the Manga, where they are only displayed in two colors. They also look way scarier when they don't move in my opinion.
The one this Anime does perfectly, is sound design and direction. The music itself is great, but the way they implement it in the series and in combination with the ambient sounds is just breathtaking.
Overall a really good adaptation, but I will still prefer the Manga if they don't improve the pacing.
Yeah, the anime had many episodes of very slow pacing. For whatever reason though, slow pacing in stories rarely bothers me in and of itself, but I can totally understand why it would have a pretty severe negative impact for some viewers. Reading through the manga, things just went so much faster; sometimes I found that to be better, sometimes I found that to be worse.
All those things you listed are really good points. I hadn't really considered that, since it didn't stand out to me for whatever reason. But I have a feeling that now that you've pointed it out, if I go back, it's gonna bug me...
I really like what you're saying about the different pacing of the scene I praised so highly in the video. You bring up a great point of how much that pacing impacts Reg's character. Personally, I loved that slow and contemplative take on the events and I thought that it served to highlight his panic. But it definitely made him seem slower, as far as his thoughts and actions are concerned.
I definitely agree with you about the sound design, that's for sure. Damn did they do a good job of that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, bud! You gave me a lot to think about, especially if I ever go back and rewatch the series.
The pacing was by design.
They had too many episodes to hit chosen end point, and there was too much of the next big arc to go past it.
Even though it'd be a shoe-in for anime of the year if they had went all the way to chapter 38 for the season ending. Though they'd need about 18 or so episodes to do it (assuming you removed all the time-filler stuff they put in to stretch things out).
So they had to try and stretch and fill time as subtly as possible. Though IMO they could've saved some of their tricks simply by including the 3 Bonus side-story chapters. They used half of Side-Story chapter 2 for the beginning of episode 12, and could've easily squeezed in 1 back around chapter 4. and then 2 around episode 8. and then inter-mix 3 into 11.
