Made in Abyss - The Perfect Adaptation | From Manga to Anime 

"SFX: Loli spilling noises"

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.

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.

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.

Holy fuck I literally just finished the show then saw this on the top recommendations

This review should have include ep 13 too :P. Good review though.

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 :)

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

For me personally, I was allured towards the story telling. Also, Nanachi is my fave character now :)

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

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!

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.

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.

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

this made me relieved.

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

Good video! Keep it up, you'll get those subscribers

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.

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.

5:50 This is a nice ASMR creepypasta reading.

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.

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.

We need season two!!

Too many anime I never heard of!

I really like your voice and the way you present your ideas :) Count me in as an active subscriber

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/

The manga's drawings are so breathtaking.

I really need to watch this show.

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.

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)

Love this anime thought it would be happy and funny but it kept getting sadder ):

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

nice voice and video

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?

U P W A R D T R E N D haha I get it cause they can’t go up

Like

Made in Abyss is like Dante's Inferno

First (Hour)!

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

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

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.

Bondrewd Did Nothing wrong ;)

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.
