Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul

The English voice-actor of Bondrewd is unnecessarily posh, whereas the Japanese voice-actor of Bondrewd is marvelous.

Wow, the level of "darkness" that the Season 1 of Made in Abyss wasn't even enough to prepare me for this ride. This is truly one of the darkest Anime I've seen (without delving into the ones that exists purely for meaningless blood and gore). It ranks close to that of the Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel arc.

The visuals were striking and the music suitable. The concepts and ideas that drive this series is truly the most interesting of all. [spoiler]The Made in Abyss Anime truly understands what it it means to feel humanity and then strives to strip it away bit by bit until the viewer is revolted by the very willingness of humans to continue pushing forward.[/spoiler] The movie had a few flaws here and there, one of my biggest distastes was [spoiler]the complete willingness to murder half a dozen of the Umbra Hands, including Bondrewd (the supposed father of their friend). There was incredibly little hesitation and emotion before and after their homicidal actions. Killing a bad guy might make it easier, but in no way is it something they should be emotionally okay with doing without some serious emotional turmoil. (The manga/LN might've handled it better than the movie, I haven't read any of it.)[/spoiler] And just the general handling of the main characters internal thought, emotions, and conflicts could've been handled a little cleaner.

The movie was not quite as powerful as the first season (perhaps the first season took the edge of the series a bit for me), but still came with horrific and enticing plot lines that kept me thoroughly invested.

Oh prushka! Poor prushka! She didn’t deserve that..

having a child in a suitcase was crazy

I decided to finally watch this movie in preparation for season 2. I had read the manga a while ago, so I knew what was coming in Ido Front arc… but damn, it is really violent, nasty and incredibly dark. If you haven‘t read the manga, brace yourself for it!
Definitely worth the watch tho, amazing fight scenes, great animation and plot. Some funny scenes.
S tier anime as is the 1st season, but personally I would not watch this movie again.

I didn't understand why the events happened so quickly and without emotion according to the personalities of the characters that were built for us throughout the first season. This should be an entire season, right? [spoiler] So, it seems very simple to me that someone random is the reason for Riko to get her white whistle. Btw, now I think her mother's whistle is her other parent, wich is strange because she have it like a symbol of her mother but actually that's other person 'soul'... [/spoiler]
