Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul

I saw this on Prime and thought I'd give it a go. Without any prior knowledge of what this was build on, what other movies there are (not to mention possible Mangas). Having said that, I can only rate and review this with that in mind - and without further knowledge.

So this has characters that some are already familiar with from the previous movie "Made in Abyss". But I think it is safe to say that the movie does hold its own and works on its own. Still there is a lot of story here to unpack, a lot of travelling to do and a lot of adventures to go through.

Now while the movie is animated, it has to be said that the themes are mature. Which fans of Japanese anime may be familiar with anyway. So don't be mad if I'm telling you something you already know. Remember there are people out there, who might not know. Don't be mad at them either, let them embrace/discover this or something else and dive into the rich and detailed world (not just when it comes to the animation, but the story depth and the character development).

There are certain cringe worthy moments and there are moments that may be a bit too much (for different reasons, not just "violence"). But if you too get enamoured by what you see, you will not really mind. The 2 hours will be over before you know it ... and you probably will yearn for more.
