Made in Abyss (anime)

Made in Abyss is an anime based on the manga series of the same name by Akihito Tsukushi.

Narrator

• Dreams are stronger than poison and seize more firmly than disease, once captured one can not escape. It's a real curse, but for adventurers who are dedicated to it, body and soul, people without dreams are more frightening than death

• Longing seizes people more powerfully than poison and more deeply than illness. Once it catches hold of you, there is absolutely no escape. This is quite a "curse," and yet the adventurers all willingly devote themselves to its pursuit. For them, a life without longing is more terrifying than death itself.

• So that flowers may bloom with innumerable deaths providing their nourishment, there are countless tragedies buried at the bottom of this beautiful world. But unless you are one of those directly concerned, this is not something you can know. You should simply be captivated by the utterly dazzling beauty and push on; treading firmly on the ground below. For your tragedy, too, is sure to become sustenance and give birth to the blooming of new flowers...

Riko

• I want to become a White Whistle soon so I can catch up to my mother...and explore the places she went.

Reg

• Irredeemable!

Nanachi

• Nnnaaa...
• nnnnaaaa
• nnaaaaaaaaa.. /////////
• Thank you Mitty, for pulling Reg's Treasure up out of that place

Jiruo

• (describing Lyza) A heavy drinker, quick to get into fights, always going too far with pranks, and you could never tell how honest she was being. On top of that, she had a brutally unbalanced diet. If she weren't a whistle, she would just be a regular weirdo...Really, she was quite a handful.

Lyza

• (to Ozen) That wound proves that your mind has repelled the Abyss. An undeniable proof. Ozen the Immovable. An actual white whistle. Hey, would you be my mentor?
• (to Ozen) Ozen. If she [Riko] ever wanted to reach the bottom again and confronted you. I want you to tell her. Tell her what a miracle it is that she can move. Teach her how to brave the wonderful adventures waiting for her afterwards.

Bondrewd

• (to Riko and Reg) I am Bondrewd. Delver of the Abyss. The Lord of Dawn, as some people call me.
• You're saying as if a family can only be made with blood relations. I do not think that is the case. A compassionate heart is what makes people a family. Blood does not help much in that regard. Love. It's love, Nanachi.
• (to Nanachi) May your journey overflow with curses and blessing.

Season 1

The City of the Great Pit

[first lines]

Riko: Come on, Nat! Why are you following me?

Nat: Shut up! You know I'm responsible for that area above yours, Riko!

Riko: Oh, that's right...

[A rope is thrown to the ground, emitting a few flying insects from the grass. A young girl with blonde hair tied in pigtails and wearing glasses, Riko, descends to the Abyss' first layer, the Edge of the Abyss. Her friend, Nat, follows her.]

Riko: Well, at least help me carry the Relics on the way home, then.

Nat: Why?!

Riko: Well, today my haul needs to receive the highest valuation out of all Red Whistles!

Riko: [as she finds a skeleton in prayer] A skeleton of someone in prayer. First time I've seen one in quite a while, so it came as a shock. Sorry for disturbing you.

---

Riko: I want to become a White Whistle as soon as I can... and catch up with my mother!

[After Riko and her new friend Reg arrive at a windmill]

Riko: We arrived! It's almost time, Reg!

[The song "Hanezeve Caradhina" plays in the background as the sun rises to show the whole city of Orth.]

Riko: Reg, this is the city where we live. The city of the great chasm, Orth. Welcome to Orth, Reg!

Reg: This chasm...?

Riko: Oh? Reg, have you forgotten all about the Abyss?!

Reg: "Abyss"?

Riko: This great chasm is the Abyss. You were found in the depths of the Abyss! I... I thought that maybe you come from the bottom of the Abyss.

Reg: Eh?

Riko: I mean, until now I hadn't seen a robot like you! I'm sure that's it! The bottom of the Abyss, that nobody has ever seen.

Reg: Abyss...

Narrator: Around 1,900 years ago, a great chasm was discovered on a remote island of the Southern seas of Beoluska. With a diameter of approximately one kilometer and a depth still unknown, that strange form fascinated people. The valuable and dangerous primitive creatures, and the mysterious "Relics" that go beyond reason, attracted adventures greedy for riches. Before they knew it, they had built a great city. Over the years, attracted by the romance to the unknown and its many legends, many people were swallowed, by the only and last abysm of the world. It is called the Abyss.

Resurrection Festival

Riko: "At the netherworld's bottom, I'll be waiting."

Season 2 (The Golden City of the Scorching Sun)

Wazukyan: Something more frightening than unfulfilled dreams awaits beyond the gold. At the very least, realize your dreams and despair.
