Made in Abyss: Retsujitsu no Ougonkyou

After surviving the brutal challenges of Idofront, Riko now possesses a White Whistle, allowing her to descend into the Abyss's sixth layer—The Capital of the Unreturned. Alongside Reg and Nanachi, Riko begins to explore the uncharted domain, where the ruins of the promised Golden City are located.

As the trio starts to adapt to the harsh environment, they soon encounter dangerous creatures and treacherous landscapes. Their expedition leads them to a village inhabited by strange beings known as "hollows." Despite the creeping sense of unease that welcomes them, the three venture onward to uncover the mysteries of the settlement and long-lost legacies of the forgotten adventurers who once descended into the horrors of the unexplored Abyss.

Here's my quick and dirty review of this season.

9.9/10.
Art, sound design, world building, you name it. This season is quite literally perfect in every way. There is nothing out there that exists like Made in Abyss, for better or worse. This season is no different. The way the certain society that appears in this season works, the reason they exist, and how they function as a whole, I can safely say I honestly do not thing anyone else has done anything even remotely like it before. It truly is super fascinating on how that all functions, it really is sosu.

The .1 gets deducted ... because although the anime tones down the writers barely disguised fetish, there still are several scenes in this season that absolutely do not need to be in this show. They are not plot relevant, they have literally no substance related to the story whatsoever, and exist purely to make some people uncomfortable. It is one of the things that makes this show so hard to recommend to anyone and is one of my biggest personal gripes.

Mixed Feelings

best and worst season until now at the same time. how? don't ask me, you should watch it yourself.

if I had put it in words however: its really different. the thematics really shifted. not always in a good way. the iconic dark atmosphere and story line of this show is (of course) there in the third season, but to me fails compared to what came before. it is still sad no doubt about it, well written too. It's just that it's sad only to BE sad. if that makes any sense. it didn't hit nearly as hard as season 2 or especially season 1. maybe ... that's just me getting used to it. there's also way more unnecessary dialogue I feel. prepare for that if you're not a fan of empty speech. ending is predictable and even kinda cliché.

ive been negative, but to be fair: this show is amazing

not only does it have crazy potential, it's also insanely enjoyable already. especially this season. this season was by far the most fun to watch. lowkey made me think about existence and life. it also has the best opening and ost until now.

im very curious how the writer will continue their adventure!

after reading this again this review is insanely confusing lmfao

This season demonstrates how even if an anime starts with an excellent idea, and good execution, the writer needs to have a concise journey in mind, morals to display, relationships to polish, or anything beyond just a basic end goal. The pacing was atrocious and the odd bizarrely uncoordinated story was really agonizing to watch, and I doubt I'll care to watch the next season.

Something that bothers me is how there's constant references to semi pedophilic themes, even in the first season, and while easy to overlook at first, you can clearly feel the direction the author wants to take, always playing with and teasing ... sexual ideas in relation to the children involved (Well! Acshually! One is a humanoid hollow rabbit and the other a robot, only one child is being sexualized, that's good... Right?).

The art is fine, a little dated even if it's from 2022. The sound design was bad, the music chosen and how it was incorporated was like nails on a chalkboard at times.

Even if you thought that season 1 was good, if you're having your doubts after watching the 3rd movie, trust me, skip this one.
