Time To Delve Into Darker Depths
The beauty, heartbreak and horror that this anime brought to the fold easily made it one of the year’s best series. After all, its rare to come by a show with such adorable characters being exposed to so much tragedy all the while soaked in some truly stunning visuals. Needless to say, Made in Abyss rose to the occasion, and now we can’t stop thinking about how we want our very own Nanachi plushy.
With such success, its no surprise that a sequel series has now been commissioned.
According to an article on Anime News Network –
The “Deep in Abyss Katari” event for the Made in Abyss franchise announced on Sunday that the Made in Abyss television anime series is getting a sequel.

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 Åsu 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.
