Made in Abyss

Made in Abyss is a TV anime series produced by Kinema Citrus, adapted from the manga by つくしあきひと. Set in a world where a vast, mysterious chasm known as the Abyss harbors ancient relics and terrifying creatures, the story follows the orphan Riko and the enigmatic robot Reg as they descend into its uncharted depths in search of Riko's legendary mother, Lyza. Blending adventure, fantasy, horror, and mystery, the series captivates with its breathtaking world-building and increasingly dark emotional stakes. Directed by Masayuki Kojima with series composition by Hideyuki Kurata, this is a landmark dark fantasy that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

Hidden within an uncharted corner of the world lies a colossal chasm known as the "Abyss" — the last great frontier that humanity has yet to fully explore. This enigmatic pit teems with bizarre creatures found nowhere else on Earth, and is scattered with ancient relics whose technology far surpasses anything modern civilization can produce. Those bold enough to venture into its depths are revered as "Cave Raiders." At the edge of this mysterious chasm lives Riko, a young orphan girl who grew up dreaming of following in the footsteps of her legendary Cave Raider mother. Determined to one day uncover the Abyss's deepest secrets, Riko takes her first steps into the unknown — and stumbles upon a remarkable discovery: a robot named Reg, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a human boy. Their chance encounter sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure.
