Directed by Masayuki Kojima and featuring the voices of Mariya Ise, Miyu Tomita, and Shiori Izawa, this latest installment of the series brings the trio to the breathtaking, yet perilous landscapes of the Abyss’ bottom layer.
Synopsis: Riko, Reg, and Nanachi’s adventure picks up where it left off in season one – on the brink of exploring the deepest layer of the Abyss. The trio is determined to reach the bottom, and as they set off, they are unaware of the challenges and mysterious creatures that lie ahead.
Entering the Abyss
In the first three episodes, the story takes a brief detour to recount the tragic past of a girl named Vueko. Orphaned and fleeing from her abusive guardian, Vueko is taken in by an explorer named Wazukyan, who leads a group called Ganja. Together, they embark on a quest to find the Golden City, rumored to be hidden in the Abyss’ depths. With the help of Vueko’s compass, they reach the seemingly impossible – the enigmatic and inhospitable labyrinths of the deepest layer, where danger and alluring secrets lurk around every corner.
As the story returns to present, Riko, Reg, and Nanachi journey in a transport pod to the bottom of the Abyss. Upon arrival, the trio is awestruck by the stunning yet unsettling scenery of this new layer – an uncanny juxtaposition between blazing heat and thriving wildlife. However, their sense of wonder is short-lived when they discover they are being watched, and Riko’s white whistle is stolen.
Determined to recover Riko’s prized possession, the friends follow clues left by the thief and find themselves in an eerie, hollow-populated village. Here, they encounter a bizarre society concealed from the Abyss’ curse, where bartering is the norm, and mysterious forces are at work.
Meeting with Faputa
In episode four, Reg encounters Faputa, a mysterious girl who seems to recognize him. However, Reg has no memory of Faputa, leading to confusion and tension between them. Faputa feels betrayed by Reg’s lack of recollection, further complicating matters when Reg learns that his friends are in danger.
Riko, now recovered after a period of illness, sets out alone to find her companions. Meanwhile, Nanachi learns troubling news regarding the endangered Mitty from Majikaja. As the trio begins to unravel the secrets of the Abyss, they face new challenges, heartbreaks, and an uncertain future.
In conclusion, Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun promises to captivate fans of the original series with its stunning visuals, enthralling storyline, and engaging characters.
