Made in Abyss

Are we reading the same series though? What kind of story is a "solid story" then if MiA doesn't supposedly have one? I haven't been this invested in a story and its mysteries for a long time.

I'm scared that the anime won't be able to do Ozen justice.

underrated villain in an excellent show

>underrated
What. He is very often referred to as one of the best villains in animation period and is generally recognized to be the best part of Wakfu.

Episode 2: Reg becoming a member of teh orphanage, The revival festival, Riko being allowed to read her mom's private letter. this episode ends with Riko and Reg disappearing into the Abyss in the spot Nat shows them.
Episode 3: Riko and Reg making their way down the abyss. We see them go down to the second layer, including the mimic bird things and their travels through the sheer drop in the third level. This episode ends was the exit the inverted forest and arrive at the Seeker camp, with the Ozen reveal being the teaser.
Episode 4: Ozen. This episode probably ends during or after Reg's fight with Ozen.
Episode 5: The rest of Ozen's mini arc, including the training and Riko's history. Ends with Reg and Riko going to the 4th floor.
Episode 6: Cup of Giants. Nanachi at the midway point. Ends with Reg's dream of finding Blaze Reap in the garden of flowers.
Episode 7: The rest of the Nanachi Arc. Rearrange certain things so that it ends with Bondrewd noticing Mitty's light fading.

I feel like this is a more realistic pacing structure. And it gives 6 episodes for them to cover volumes 4 and 5, which feels about right.

>thought the white was a visor slit like Bondrewd's
>it's her fucking mouth
>she's grinning ear to ear while she mops the floor with Reg

I don't know, I haven't watched MiA. I was talking in the general sense, shows with great art are still a good watch even if they don't have a story.

Because Rooster Teeth already had a reputation for pumping out machinima, so 3D animation isn't too far from their normal crap.

feels webcomic-tier

everything feels like 2nd banana to the art and tone (that being the horror)

which is not to say that its bad but its not some juicy character study or thorough mapping of relationships between the cast

So you're on the 4th layer when you see THIS just chillin in a giant cup.
What are you delvers gonna do about it
