Made in Abyss

## Made in Abyss *Made in Abyss* is a deceptively beautiful anime — its charming art style and adventurous setup conceal one of the darkest and most emotionally intense stories in the medium. The Abyss is a vast, mysterious chasm filled with ancient relics and bizarre creatures. Cave Raiders risk their lives descending into its depths for treasure, with strict rules governing the curse that afflicts those who ascend. Riko, an orphaned girl living near the Abyss, dreams of following her legendary mother into its deepest reaches. When she encounters Reg — a robotic boy with no memory — the two begin their descent together. The series is remarkable for its world-building, its genuine sense of wonder, and its willingness to explore the true cost of that wonder.
