Born in the Abyss ("Made in Abyss Movie 1: Tabidachi no Yoake"; "Made in Abyss Movie 2: Hourou Suru Tasogare")
I took a bit of a shortcut by deciding to watch the full-length movies instead of the series. But judging by the math, I haven't lost much screen time, and even someone knowledgeable only occasionally commented on what's missing, so... Okay.
It's an interesting piece, beautifully shot. It's funny that the main characters, like all children, are drawn worse and more cartoonishly compared to the adults, and the latter, in turn, are less detailed than the environment (landscapes).
Good synopsis, pleasant characters (both the main ones and most of the others encountered). Of course, in the first film, there were some somewhat naive moments, but over time, the movie becomes more serious.
I like that there isn't so much action, but a lot of time is devoted to various important everyday issues, and the way all this is emphasized makes you experience it and think about how you would act in such a dangerous and complex situation.
It's difficult to give a rating yet; I would like to see the third film, but in any case, I like it very much.
Nice/10 (I'm preliminarily giving 8 and 9 to the first and second films, respectively, on MyAnimeList)
