Made in Abyss is the most beautiful/poignant/horrifying media I have ever consumed.

I finished the anime a couple days ago and can't get it out of my head. I staunchly avoid anything that's overly brutal or depressing but the mood of this entire show was perfect. Even after that last episode, which contains some of if not the most horrifying scenes I have ever seen, I still find myself completely entranced. The ending is just bittersweet in a way that stuck with me.

Watch this show!

It's mainly Kevin Penkin.

compared to 'Grave of the Fireflies' or 'Now and Then, Here and There', how does this rate on the human despair/life-is-terrible scale?

Eh...

I've heard good things about it, I'm sure I'll get around to the anime eventually.

In the anime? Not very.

In the arc in the manga right after the anime ends? Whoa boy.
