As harrowing and gut-wrenching as those adventures were, the tension will only continue to mount. Because now Riko, Reg and Nanachi must ford seas of corpses, survive fields of parasitic insects, and confront the most potentially dangerous entity of all, Bondrewd, the body shifting guardian of the gate to the sixth level.

What a ride! This is incredibly full of contrasts, beautiful, and also completely twisted, terrifying, painful, enchanting, and intense... It is really well produced, really emotional, and a really decent action movie. I feel like I have seen a lot in one movie and it will definitely resonate in me for a while. It is going to take me a long time to want to go on this ride again. Bondrewd was also a very interesting, entertaining yet totally twisted bastard. This is a must-see for fans of the Made in Abyss anime series hungry for a follow-up! Well as far as I am concerned, I am blown away and I want more! 10/10 P.S. If you have the DVD version, then do not turn it off - after the credits, there are two more Marulk shorts.

Manga readers certainly couldn't wait for the conclusion of the first part of Riko and Rega's journey through the Abyss, which was already introduced at the end of first season. It was already obvious after the narration of the mysterious Ozen that the "White Whistles" were more like the local Seven from The Boys than superhero villains, and it was impossible not to look forward to the villainous Bondrewd. That whole metaphor and parell of the Abyss, where the raiders go to fulfill their desire for wealth, power, adventure, or love, only to eventually face the question of how much they must sacrifice, is woven throughout the film in a very poignant way. The only ray of happiness was the character of the enchanting Prushka. Compared to the series, I missed the travelling through more and more levels of the Abyss, and while Kevin Penkin is an ace composer that I wanted to enjoy thoroughly, his music was just more at home during the more open and melancholic scenery of the living outside world than within the walls of the fortress. But I'm not knocking anything in that regard: The Kinema Citrus audiovisuals are again of a dream standard (the opening flowery field, the fights) and the script and direction are tight, I just like the slightly happier scenes and you won't find many of those here :-) I was all the more pleased with the last minutes of Ozen's shrewdness. I was wavering a lot between 4 stars and 5 stars – it falls right in between, but I subjectively like the world and story of Made in Abyss a lot. Subarashi!
