Deca-Dence
But there's a downside that slightly spoiled the impression: there's too much focus on Kaburagi and relatively little on Natsume. From the very beginning, I was very interested in her perspective as the main character, as she is clearly in a more difficult situation. It is her world that is collapsing, and she is the one who is forced to remain inactive, constantly waiting. Always in the dark (and that's in the best-case scenario)... You expect her story to be filled with events, ups and downs, and emotions other than "I won't give up no matter what!!!!!!11!!!1!". But in the end, this aspect was somehow neglected, and that's disappointing.
Still, the anime is cool. It just leaves a warm, pleasant, and quite optimistic feeling at the end. I wonder if there will be a sequel? It's not entirely clear whether the authors have said everything they wanted to say, or if there's something more...
And the special effects are awesome
In the last episode, Kaburagi shouts, "I'll tear this place down to the ground!", uses his ultimate ability, and my Mozilla crashes. Now that's what I call a 4D cinema experience; I'm glad I wasn't hit by the explosion.8/10
Made in Abyss the Movie: Dawn of the Deep Soul
I've written before that I liked this cartoon for its certain tragic quality and the difficulties that the characters overcome, including everyday difficulties (unappetizing food, the need to take care of wounds, it was all really detailed and felt very real), but here the authors clearly decided to outdo themselves and show just how tame things were before.
This cartoon is just brutal. Almost two hours of pure, unadulterated brutality. Which ends with more brutality.
Although I can't help but appreciate other things, such as the cuteness of the characters, the coolness of the various grand plans, and so on, but in the end, everything is overshadowed by the brutality.
That is, my point is that the creators went too far this time.
I'm still looking forward to the continuation, however, as the intrigue has not disappeared but has only intensified.
Brutality/10
(Or maybe 7/10).
