Made In Abyss memes center on the jarring juxtaposition between the series' whimsical, Moé-inspired art style and its brutally dark, body-horror-filled narrative. Originating from the manga by Akihito Tsukushi and its 2017 anime adaptation, the meme culture around the series often uses catchphrases like 'Subarashii' (Marvelous) spoken by the antagonist Bondrewd or references to the 'Elevator' and 'Cartridges' to evoke a sense of shared trauma among fans. These memes are frequently used to bait newcomers into thinking the show is a lighthearted adventure, or to express how a seemingly innocent situation can quickly spiral into psychological distress.
