biographical/historical ones
for manga try: kakukaku shikajika, kokou no hito, shigurui, gunka no baltzar, vinland saga, me and the devil blues.

for anime try genshiken, monster, planetes, aku no hana, perfect blue, beck, the perfect insider, slam dunk.

also the same studio that did tamako also did the movie of haruhi suzumiya and there's a popular image usually posted at /a/ of the scenery they drew like streets buildings and the real life photos they used as reference, couldn't find it though.

It's worldbuildingbait:

- credits
- narration tells you the abyss is amazing but dangerous
- 18 minuets of not actually getting to see it
- narration telling you the episode was awesome
- credits

Or anything about the world outside of it: why do they leave it alone? Are there other abysses everywhere? How is the world coping with what appears to be literal magic existing? Does the rest of the world even exist?

This is LOST the anime.

There's a city of people and creatures in the abyss at the 6th layer, because that's the layer where if you ascend from it, you will die. Therefore, they are stuck down there.

We also don't know if time passes differently in the abyss than on the surface level.

Also, ascending from the abyss changes you physically. That's why Nanachi looks like she does.

>why do they leave it alone
They don't. They send people into it to fetch treaures that they want to sell. Stop being retarded.

>How is the world coping with what appears to be literal magic existing?
It appears to be ancient technology, not magic. They're also making money off the tourism around the abyss, and the stuff that is found in the abyss.

>Does the rest of the world even exist?
Yes. It's stated right at the start that people from around the world come to the town to check it out.

>Are there other abysses everywhere?
It's implied that there isn't, as people come from around the world to see this one.

Do they explain why an object that literally redefines the understanding of reality has attracted zero (0) official coordinated efforts from any government whatsoever to explore it in a coordinated, well-funded fashion? Or to take control of the entrance on behalf of their nation?

An artefact that literally reimagines humanity's place in the universe, and it's just in the hands of a couple-dozen guys with absolutely no explanation, and the entire rest-of-world's approach to it appears to be "meh", again with absolutely no explanation.

Fuck off retard. You've also clearly not watched past 3 episodes, as your assumptions are wrong, and some of this shit is actually explained.
Literally kill yourself.

I watched it all the way from the naked child bondage to the happy post balloon. It just wasn't very memorable because asking questions and telling isn't the same as providing answers and showing.

Sorry for not liking something you like.

The creatures, the story behind why it exists, the experiments. It's an interesting setting.

No, that's a question, not an answer. What was asked was literally

You haven't told anything. You've implied that there might be stuff.

Just like the show.

Maybe you should elaborate what you want out of an answer since creatures, setting and mystery aren't good answers for you.

Ted the Caver. Its an old creepypasta writen in blog style about the main character and a friend exploring an unexplored tunnel in a cave. Various thing start to happen like hallucinations.

Just literally answer the question. Take the question at face value and provide a literal answer to it. Surely there must be some specific thing you found interesting about the abyss that wasn't "you can't go up". Hopefully there'll be dozens of things, because less than twelve things implies there's episodes (in a show with "great" worldbuilding) with nothing you found interesting in them.

The reason you're finding it so difficult to even comprehend, let alone answer, is that Made In Abyss provides only the *impression* of a world or a setting. There are broad strokes, and there's voiceover telling you it's fascinating, but there's no actual detail there. It tells and it implies mysteries and questions, but it doesn't show and it doesn't answer. It's like a skeleton of a setting, and you're supposed to just not look too closely lest you notice.

Admittedly, "can't go up" is the main thing but it's is a story detail that motivates the characters to continue on the journey with no need to back track to previous locations. There will always be a new setting.

>it doesn't show and it doesn't answer
That's pretty much the point until recently sort of. So far it's mostly been about the characters.

>there's no actual detail there. It's like a skeleton of a setting,
Yes, it's technically one setting but there are plenty of different environments. Most stories are like this. In this case, this would be a show don't tell although they do explain a little bit, a lot of it is visual.
