Riko and company, as well as the audience, don’t get such a buffer and it’s a lot more jarring as the ante gets increased with each new layer that they reach.
However, what Made in Abyss does is different because these characters aren’t on a journey that spans multiple years or an entire adolescence. Even Dragon Ball subscribes to this principle to a minor extent.
#Made in abyss dawn of the deep soul series#
It’s not unusual for series to begin in an innocent place and then gradually mature along with the characters as they grow up, with Hary Potter being one of the best examples. Riko, Reg, and later Nanachi, have the common goal to reach the bottom of the Abyss, but each new layer that they reach drastically increases the anime’s maturity and the level of dangers that are encountered. Made in Abyss stars precocious children who are drawn in a way that accentuates their innocence as Riko and her robotic companion, Reg, embark on this adventure. One of the most impressive things about Made in Abyss is that from an outside glance it’d be understandable to dismiss this complex psychological drama as a children’s fantasy series. Every new turn brings on fresh dangers and Riko and company grow concerned that they may not even be able to reach the sixth layer, or at least not all in one piece. The group is ready for a challenge, but they enter the orbit of Bondrewd, a powerful and evil White Whistle who doesn’t just have ties to Nanachi’s past, but has significant plans surrounding Reg’s future. Reg, Riko, and Nanachi descend deeper into the mysterious Abyss and reach the fifth layer, the foreboding Sea of Corpses.
