So, like I said I might after I finished "Made In Abyss", I ended up watching this just because it was there, and I just keep asking myself "what the fuck is the point of this thing?" I get that the appeal of "Made in Abyss", to the people who like it, is the worldbuilding and the sakuga. This movie had essentially no significant worldbuilding at all, and most of it took place inside a building where the background art had no hope of reaching the highs of the series. When it finally let loose a bit for the final fight, that stuff looked pretty cool, but it was fleeting.

If the point of this is supposed to be the characters, then I don't know how that is. None of them goes through any particular challenge to their point of view or changes in any way as a result of this encounter with the shadowy Big Bad alluded to in the series. Not even Nanachi, the one who actually has a connection to him.

Not to mention, that on top of all of that, it was just so fucking boring. I watched most of it at 2x speed and was mostly bored, even during the parts where excessively bad things happened to the loli characters, which was one of the few things about the series that actually moved me before.

Why the fuck was this a movie and not a small arc at the start of the sequel series? This is fucking pointless.
