Welp, I finally binge watched and finished the rest of Made in Abyss. I was kinda hoping for something more conclusive but I'm satisfied. By the simple rule to make me cry (a lot) this has deserved its spot in my prestigious league of 10s. The amazing art and music as well es the excellent realism in the story progression make this a lock-in.

Having two more potential 10s this season makes this easily one of the best years in anime of all time.

The manga is nowhere close to a conclusion, though.  They could have included the next "arc" if they scrunched things up a lot but I'm glad they did not.  The final episode was perfect and deserved all the time it got.  Easily one of the best single episodes I've ever seen.  That powerful mix of conflicting emotions was a memorable way to end the season.

The Bondrewd chapters really deserve several episodes of their own.  His base is the only way to get to the next level, which is the "point of no return."  That's why I originally assumed it would be included in the anime, even if they had to cut a lot. 

However, after the end point of season one is where Made in Abyss gets really dark and absolutely freaking brutal.  I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it.

I don't know. For me they definitely blew their load here. I don't think they can conjure up something that is even more brutal and disturbing. We saw the horror, now it's time to fight the horror.
