Made in Abyss

When I say that I enjoy exploring this world, it is still a bit of an understatement. I would love to run into every corner of the city and discover its laws and relationships between different quarters. And I haven't even mentioned the abyss itself. Every level, every new creature, every encounter, everything ignited my imagination at full throttle with that marvelous quality that diminishes with each passing year, when I eagerly await new events and can't even guess what and who awaits me on the next floor. However, it's not primarily about adventure, and not even about collecting treasures or conquering new places. Surprisingly, it's increasingly about loss, self-discovery, and occasionally about matters more serious than seriousness itself. The series contains a lot of torment, which almost destroys me psychologically, and this tormenting, torturing, and humiliating of the main characters and subsequent bitter tears have been perhaps a bit too much for a moderate share of episodes. However, without exaggeration, it is a unique phenomenon that surprises both the viewers who can completely devour everything in the genre and even those who either don't know how or don't want to choose from the offerings of the late 1990s.
