The first Made in Abyss compilation film, Made in Abyss: Tabidachi no Yoake (Journey's Dawn), revealed a new work in the franchise on Friday, titled Gekijōban Made in Abyss: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei (Made in Abyss the Movie: Dawn of the Deep Soul). The anime's official website revealed a teaser visual for the project.
An event for the franchise had revealed in November 2017 that a sequel project was in the works.
Made in Abyss: Tabidachi no Yoake opened in Japan on Friday. The second compilation film, Made in Abyss: Hōrō Suru Tasogare (Wandering Twilight), will open in Japan on January 18. Sentai Filmworks will screen the films in the United States this year.
The 13-episode television anime series based on Akihito Tsukushi's Made in Abyss manga premiered in Japan in July 2017. Sentai Filmworks licensed the series and released it on Blu-ray Disc on October 23. The English-subtitled version of the show streamed in the United States on Amazon's Anime Strike service, and HIDIVE streamed the series outside of the United States. The dub is also streaming on HIDIVE.
In the story, an enormous pit and cave system called the "Abyss" is the only unexplored place in the world. Strange and wonderful creatures reside in its depths, and it is full of precious relics that current humans are unable to make. The mysteries of the Abyss fascinate humans, and they head down to explore. The adventurers who venture into pit are known as "Cave Raiders." A little orphan girl named Rico lives in the town of Ōsu on the edge of the Abyss. Her dream is to become a Cave Raider like her mother and solve the mysteries of the cave system. One day, Rico starts exploring the caves and discovers a robot who resembles a human boy.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English.
