Where can Made in Abyss be streamed?

Made in Abyss is available across several platforms, but no single service owns worldwide rights. Here’s a breakdown of the main options.

Legal streaming options overview

  • Crunchyroll streams both seasons worldwide after you enable mature content (Crunchyroll series page).
  • HiDive (via Amazon Channel) offers the full series and movies (HIDIVE News viewing guide).
  • Amazon Prime Video includes Season 1 with Prime in the UK and offers Season 2 for purchase (Comparitech streaming guide).
  • Netflix streams in select regions such as Indonesia (Epicstream report).
  • BiliBili Global and Muse Asia also carry the series in certain territories (Epicstream).

The implication: no one-size-fits-all solution exists. Depending on where you live, you may need a combination of subscriptions.

Availability by region

Licensing deals split the world into separate zones. Comparitech’s streaming guide notes that outside the U.S., access becomes even patchier, often requiring a VPN to use a home subscription while traveling.

  • United States: Season 1 on Amazon Prime Video; both seasons on Crunchyroll and HiDive.
  • United Kingdom: Season 1 included with Prime; other options via Crunchyroll and HiDive.
  • Asia (Indonesia, Philippines, etc.): Netflix and Muse Asia carry the series.
  • Other regions: Crunchyroll is the most globally consistent choice.

The catch: checking your local Netflix or Prime catalog is the only way to know for sure.

For most viewers, Crunchyroll is the most universal option but requires enabling mature content to access the series.

Is Made in Abyss on Netflix?

Netflix availability by region

Made in Abyss appears on Netflix only in a handful of countries. According to Epicstream’s guide, Netflix availability for the anime is limited to regions like Indonesia. As of 2025, it is not available on Netflix US, UK, or Canada.

Why Netflix might not show it in your country

Netflix licenses content per market. The rights for Made in Abyss in the U.S. and Europe are held by Crunchyroll and HiDive, so Netflix won’t carry it there unless those deals expire. The same principle applies to Amazon Prime and other services.

The trade-off: while Netflix is a convenient hub for many anime series, Made in Abyss requires venturing into other platforms.

Is Made in the Abyss not on Crunchyroll?

How to find Made in Abyss on Crunchyroll

The series is on Crunchyroll, but it won’t appear in search results or the browse list until you adjust your account settings. Crunchyroll’s title page for Made in Abyss exists but is hidden behind a content filter.

Crunchyroll mature content toggle

Crunchyroll applies a default filter that hides TV-MA rated shows. You need to opt in to see mature content. Here’s a step-by-step guide in the next section.

Is Made in Abyss on Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime Video streaming vs purchase

In the United Kingdom, Season 1 is included with a Prime subscription (Comparitech). In the US, the same season requires purchase. Season 2 is available for purchase on Amazon Video in multiple regions.

Season 2 availability on Amazon

You can buy Season 2 episodes individually or the full season. Additionally, subscribing to the HiDive channel through Amazon gives you both seasons as part of the channel’s library.

The pattern: Amazon works as both a rental store and a third-party platform for HiDive, giving you two separate ways to access the same content.

How to enable mature content?

Step-by-step Crunchyroll mature content settings

  1. Log into your Crunchyroll account.
  2. Go to Account Settings > Parental Controls.
  3. Toggle Show mature content to on.
  4. Save your changes. Made in Abyss and other 18+ titles will now appear in the catalog.

Why Crunchyroll blocks mature anime

Crunchyroll applies a blanket filter to TV-MA and R+ titles to comply with regional age-gate regulations. According to Comparitech, the rating for Made in Abyss (TV-MA) automatically hides it unless the user explicitly opts in.

Four major platforms, one clear pattern: Crunchyroll is the most universal option, but it hides the series behind a maturity toggle. Netflix requires the right geography. Amazon splits its offering between free (with Prime in UK) and paid. HiDive gives the most complete library but via a third-party channel.

Platform Availability Cost Mature Content Setting Region
Crunchyroll Both seasons + movies Subscription (free trial available) Must enable in Parental Controls Worldwide
Netflix Limited (Indonesia, etc.) Subscription None required Select regions
Amazon Prime Video Season 1 (included with Prime UK); both available for purchase Prime membership or per-episode purchase None required UK (streaming), US (purchase)
HiDive (via Amazon Channel) Both seasons + movies HiDive subscription or Amazon Channel add-on None required US, UK, select others
The trade-off

Crunchyroll is the most globally consistent option, but its mature content gate means many users never see the show in search results. The 30-second toggle solves it, but it’s a step most viewers won’t expect from a streaming service.

Why this matters

Without enabling mature content, viewers in most regions effectively have zero legal access to Made in Abyss on Crunchyroll, despite the service holding the license. This single setting is the difference between finding the show and assuming it’s not available.

Bottom line: What this means: enabling mature content is the single step that unlocks the series on Crunchyroll.

Clarity check: what’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

Confirmed facts

  • Made in Abyss is on Crunchyroll with mature content setting enabled (Crunchyroll series page)
  • Season 1 is on Amazon Prime Video (UK) (Comparitech streaming guide)
  • Netflix streams in Indonesia (Epicstream report)
  • HiDive has both seasons via Amazon Channel (HIDIVE News announcement)

What’s unclear

  • Exact Netflix region list outside Indonesia
  • Future availability changes on any platform
  • Whether Amazon Prime US will include Season 1 without purchase

“We’re thrilled to announce that MADE IN ABYSS: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun will stream in July 2022.”

HIDIVE News official announcement

“It’s ridiculous how hard it is to legally watch this show outside Japan. I had to dig through three platforms just to find where it’s streaming.”

Reddit community discussion, r/MadeInAbyss

Made in Abyss is a standout dark fantasy anime that continues to attract new fans, but its fragmented licensing and mature rating make it one of the harder titles to track down legally. For viewers outside of Asia and the UK, the decision is straightforward: subscribe to Crunchyroll, enable mature content in your account settings, and you’ll have access to both seasons and the compilation films. That single step removes the need to juggle multiple platforms, though those who prefer purchasing may find Amazon Video a reliable supplement. The trade-off is the 18+ rating’s gatekeeping — a minor inconvenience that solves the accessibility puzzle for good.
