I have no idea where to even start. But since I have to, let's start it like this: I first watched Made in Abyss a few years ago. To be honest, I did not like it so much. Yes, I thought the concept was really unique, but it failed to interest me.
A few months ago I decided to watch it again, because for the first time I did not get to finish it.
HOLY SHIT, HOW WISE IT WAS. ___
I remember myself, sitting aganist the monitor, finding absolute interest from the moment they explained about the abyss. Yes, the beginning was little boring; And in "Beginning," I mean the 3 first episodes, but holy shit, from episode 4 it becomes a masterpiece. The concept is so unique that i don't know where to even start talking about it, It's such a huge and mysterious place, no one knows what's hiding in the depths of the abyss.
In anytime, anything can jump on you. The author's not afraid to put characters on a situation between life and death, it makes the story so much better in my opinion.
Reg is my favorite character. He's just amazing. He is considerate of his friends, never leaving anyone behind and very cute. Then Nanachi. she arrived relatively late in the story and at first even seriously considered abandoning Reg and Riko when they were in an extreme situation, but eventually decided to help them. After that she even joined them, and by this point they were already quite friends. It's just amazing that a character who did not care about other characters at first can now cry over other characters. ___ I also cried twice. I also cried twice. The hardest time time was in the third movie, Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul (Clickable).
The movie. Oh, the movie. The movie is so much better than the anime in my opinion, Even though it seems that this is not just my opinion, because the movie is rated higher than the anime. The movie begins completely differently from the anime, when we are already in the middle of the story and reach the point of no return in the story (Literally), and the most intense part of the story.
The villain. Among the best villains I have seen. He's not even trying to be bad, it's just inevitable for him. At the end of the film one can see his real motives, which made his character so much better.
___ The OST of the series is masterpiece. It's so, so, SOOOO good.
