Overview:

Simply put… child experimentation arc on the 5thfloor, its fucked its brutal, its dark… and everything one would expect from the standard Made In Abyss sets. Details about the white thangs :mrcleans: is given and as with the rest of the show, it’s also fucked :sweat_eo: .

Visuals/Music:

Visuals as per the regular series is up with some of the best. The amount of detail in both the still and animation parts are some of, if not the best out there. Pausing at nearly any scene and its easily worthy of being a background quality picc or close to it. No complaints from the visuals which is to be expected given Ghibli Osamu Masuyama is Art Director. He worked on Howls, Ponyo ect so just a bit of clout surrounding him :D

Music and OSTs are still up there with the tops. They know how to place em and where and how to use them, topping us off with some Myth & Roid ending credit song… not much more a person could want.

Final Thoughts:

Instead of animating a season they condensed it down into a movie. Not enough content to have done a full season so makes sense but at the same time could have been about half hour to three quarter-hour longer to get the pacing better. Not that it is a bad choice by any stretch. The end result was simply :blush: :pachaperfect:

Most are probably going to misunderstand Bondewd due to his actions throughout, simply taking him at face value of a person that just does such exquisitely tasteful experiments… but his character and the type of love in its purest sense… as in absolution type was portrayed very well. It’s a type of love that a normal person wouldn’t understand or be able to convey due to it being absolute. Absent of any ill intent that comes from within disregarding any other emotions that would otherwise cloud and disarray it from its truest sense.

Not to say he is a loving character though lol, that would also be a severe misunderstanding of him. His actions are to help humanity at its forefront, which debatably will. As with any true form of progress sacrifice must be made and only a certain type of person can and will be willing to make them.

The film does have its shortcomings, mainly in terms of pacing due to it being in an odd position of content to cover. Too long for regular film yet too short for regular season. Small problem overall I think given what was brought forth. Things feel rushed and not as much detail at times as one would like. Would also say the ending but its left at a to be continued and is already confirmed to continue onward from where it left off here. The ending point is good enough and doesn’t tease too much which is good. They end it at a spot that is satisfactory and concludes the arc well enough.

Highly recommend the film to those who have seen and are anticipating more Made In Abyss. For those who haven’t seen it, def a good time to pick it up.
