HOUSTON, TX — March 2, 2020 — Sentai announced today that MADE IN ABYSS: Dawn of the Deep Soul, the anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed MADE IN ABYSS franchise, will premiere in the United States on Saturday, April 11, 2020, at Anime Boston, with nationwide theatrical distribution to follow. Accompanying the main feature are two exclusive extras, animated shorts from “Marulk’s Daily Life,” which first debuted as part of the Japanese domestic release.
Dawn of the Deep Soul continues the epic adventures of young explorers Riko and Reg, who are joined by their new friend Nanachi as they descend into the Abyss’ treacherous fifth layer, the Sea of Corpses. There they encounter the mysterious Bondrewd, a legendary White Whistle whose shadow looms over Nanachi’s troubled past. Although Bondrewd is ingratiatingly hospitable and the trio soon becomes fast friends with his gregarious daughter, Prushka, the brave adventurers know things are not always as they seem in the enigmatic Abyss…
A Kinema Citrus (MADE IN ABYSS) production, series’ director Masayuki Kojima (Revue Starlight) returns to direct Dawn of the Deep Soul with scriptwriting from Hideyuki Kurata (The Fruit of Grisaia). Miyu Tomita (The Magnificent KOTOBUKI), Mariya Ise (The Promised Neverland) and Shiori Izawa (Sword Art Online) reprise their roles as Riko, Reg and Nanachi, respectively.
