Made in Abyss/ Tenderness and darkness in one place
A few days ago, while browsing TikTok, a scene from an anime appeared among the views. As it caught my attention, I decided to look it up right away and give it a try; I didn't know what it was really about, but I liked the animation and noticed that beneath its apparent cuteness, I could find some dark elements and an interesting plot.
Made in Abyss
This anime focuses on Riko and Reg's journey to the bottom of the abyss, which is nothing more than a vast mysterious pit, filled with unusual creatures, ancient relics, and unique ecosystems in each of its seven strata.
Riko is a girl who lives in the orphanage in the city that was founded around the top of the abyss. In this institution, she is educated alongside other children as an apprentice cave raider, who are the ones who venture into the abyss, explore it, and rescue relics, and whose ranks range from red whistles to white whistles.
Riko, the daughter of a legendary explorer who remains inside the abyss, one day, during an expedition, finds a cyborg boy who has lost his memory, whom she names Reg, who apparently comes from the bottom of the abyss.
After receiving a letter from her mother, Riko decides to escape and venture into the abyss to search for her mother. Reg joins her and accompanies her, and so they begin their descent to the bottom of the abyss.
Now, as for the strengths of the anime, one of them is undoubtedly its animation; it is beautiful, colorful, tender, and although seemingly childish in its illustration (characters with huge super kawaii eyes), it can present us with raw moments, dangerous places, and characters.
The plot is original, as they created a whole world around the abyss around which a city grew; its ecosystem is unique in each stratum, the characters are unique, each with virtues, flaws, pasts, and more that they let us see without filters, and in addition, this whole world of exploration is interesting, because the deeper they go into the abyss, the more we see how beautiful and dangerous it can be, and we want to know more about this place and what is hidden there.
There are charming characters, others who are exasperating, and those who terrify us because of what they are capable of doing. This anime reminds us that human beings are often capable of anything to get what we want, turning us into unscrupulous beings.
Likewise, there are all kinds of characters, that is, we don't just see humans and creatures from the abyss; there are others, but I won't give too many details, because if you haven't seen this anime, I hope it makes you curious and encourages you to watch it.
As for the music, it's lovely; the opening and ending themes are very good and are accompanied by excellent animations that I loved watching.
Currently, this anime has only two seasons and a few movies, some of which compile or show us episodes from the first season in sequence (Movie 1: Dawn of the Journey and Movie 2: Wandering Twilight); in addition, the third movie must be seen before the second season or you won't understand anything. In this case, the order would be: Season 1, Movie 3: Dawn of the Deep Soul, and Season 2. I understand that there are two specials, which are optional: Marulk's Daily Life and Together with Dad.
In short, this anime based on a manga series of the same name is a gem, and all of us who have seen it are eagerly awaiting the return of the rest of its content to the screens; according to my research, it will return in a movie. To conclude, in my opinion, Made In Abyss deserves an 8.5/10.
Hace unos días, ojeando TikTok apareció entre las vistas una escena de un anime. Como llamó mi atención, decidí buscarlo de una vez y darle una oportunidad; no sabía de que trataba en realidad, pero su animación me gustó y noté que entre la aparente ternura de esta podría encontrar algunas cosas oscuras y una trama interesante.
Made in Abbys
Este anime se centra en el viaje de Riko y Reg al fondo del abismo, que no es otra cosa que un vasto pozo misterioso, repleto de criaturas inusuales, reliquias antiguas y ecosistemas singulares en cada uno de sus siete estratos.
Riko es una niña que vive en el orfanato de la ciudad que se fundó alrededor de la cima del abismo. En esta institución se le educa junto a otros niños, como una aprendiz de asaltante de cuevas, quienes son los que se adentran en el abismo, lo exploran y rescatan reliquias, y cuyos rangos van desde silbatos rojos hasta blancos.
Riko, hija de una exploradora de leyenda que permanece dentro del abismo, un día, durante una expedición, encuentra a un niño cíborg que ha perdido la memoria, al que nombra Reg, quien al parecer proviene del fondo del abismo.
Tras recibir una carta de su madre, Riko decide escapar y adentrarse en el abismo para buscar a su madre; Reg se une a ella y la acompaña, y así comienzan su descenso al fondo del abismo.
Ahora bien, en cuanto a los fuertes del anime, sin duda uno de ellos es su animación; es hermosa, colorida, tierna y aunque aparentemente infantil por como está ilustrada (personajes con enormes ojos super kawaii), puede presentarnos momentos crudos, lugares y personajes peligrosos.
La trama es original, pues crearon todo un mundo en torno al abismo alrededor del cual creció una ciudad; su ecosistema es único en cada estrato, los personajes son únicos, cada uno con virtudes, defectos, pasado y más que nos dejan ver sin filtros, y además todo ese mundo de exploración es interesante, pues mientras más se adentran en el abismo, vemos lo hermoso y peligroso que puede ser y se desea conocer más de este lugar y de lo que allí se esconde.
Hay personajes encantadores, otros desesperantes y están los que nos espantan por lo que son capaces de hacer. Este anime nos recuerda que muchas veces los seres humanos podemos ser capaces de todo con tal de lograr lo que queremos, convirtiéndonos en seres sin escrúpulos.
Así mismo, hay personajes de todo tipo, es decir, no vemos solo seres humanos y las criaturas del abismo; hay otros, pero no daré muchos detalles, pues si no han visto este anime, espero les dé curiosidad y se animen a verlo.
En cuanto a su música, es encantadora; los opening y ending son muy buenos y están acompañados por excelentes animaciones que a mí me encantaba ver.
Actualmente, este anime cuenta con solo dos temporadas y algunas películas, unas en las que recopilan o nos muestran de corrido capítulos de la primera temporada (Película 1: El amanecer del viaje y película 2: Crepúsculo errante); además, la tercera película es necesario verla antes de la segunda temporada o no se entenderá nada. En este caso el orden sería: Temporada 1, Película 3: Amanecer del Alma profunda y Temporada dos, tengo entendido que hay dos especiales, que son opcionales: La vida Diaria de Marulk y Juntos con papá.
En resumen, este anime basado en una serie de manga del mismo nombre es una joya, y todos los que le hemos visto esperamos con ansias que el resto de su contenido regrese a las pantallas; de acuerdo a lo que investigué, regresará en una película. Para terminar, en mi opinión, Made In Abyss merece un 8.5/10.

I also fell for the cute, "chibi" art style, thinking it would be a peaceful, Ghibli-esque adventure, and then… well, the trauma is real 😅.
I totally agree with you that the world-building is fascinating; that blend of visual beauty with the absolute cruelty of the abyss ecosystem keeps you glued to the screen. Excellent review! I hope we get news of the sequel soon, because the wait is agonizing.
We all fell for that adorable chibi style, and now, despite the trauma of what we saw, we want to keep watching the anime. For me, the hardest part so far was seeing what happened to Pruska.
Bienvenida al club XD yo también espero mucho esa próxima parte, es una excelente serie, saludos!
Es traumático ver toda esa ternura de los personajes bañada en sangre, pero sin duda este anime es adictivo
