This is the one point where
Made in Abyss shines.
Character: 4/10
Why am I
giving such a low
mark to a show that heavily focuses on the relationship and adventures of 2 characters? Simple. 4/10 is for the 4 good characters of this show: Riko, Reg, Ouzen, and Nanachi. I will admit that these 4 are all quite charismatic and memorable. However, I hate kids, so I couldn't stand Riko and Reg most of the time. Ouzen, being one of the 2 characters I actually
liked in Made in Abyss should have been developed more. I'd gladly watch an episode dedicated to her rather than the 13th episode which was dedicated to Nanachi and Mitty.
Enjoyment: 4/10
Made in Abyss never made it past the "it's ok" phase for me. It hang during its airtime at a 6, sometimes showing the potential of peaking at a 7, only to nose dive to a 4 with the boring last episode. It's one of the shows I'd switch on in the background while doing something else, only paying about 3/4s of my attention to the show.
Overall: 4/10
Do you like adventure anime? This show isn't for you.

Although you could argue that T7 is the og trope. I digress. Everything about this show, from the worldbuilding to the slow but steady development of the hierarchy of power is amazing. Like FMA, this show takes the time to
actually help the viewer along in a way that doesn't seem cheesy or preachy. It doesn't explain everything about the world right of the bat, yet it still answers the three basic questions for worldbuilding: What are the magical elements? What can they do/can't they do? What is the ethical problem? In comparison to the way that FMA set up the otherworldly elements in its own story without having to flat out tell you what the rules were. (These are also the same questions the FMA answered perfectly within the foist set of episodes) Both of these shows do a
good job demonstrating where the morals lie, and who decides what's good and what's bad and those who decide for themselves. Chimera vs soul manipulation. edit 12-15-20 CHARACTERS It's hard to tell where these characters are going and where they'll end up development-wise. But I think that they all have the foundation to grow into successful personalities.
