The second season of Made in Abyss, subtitled The Golden City of the Scorching Sun, has arrived on HIDIVE, complete with an English dub and subtitles. This 12-episode run continues the perilous journey of Riko and Reg into the titular Abyss, a colossal, mysterious chasm filled with strange creatures and ancient relics.
Produced by Kinema Citrus, the series is renowned for its stunning, albeit deceptive, art style that contrasts sharply with its brutal themes of survival, body horror, and psychological trauma. The narrative plunges viewers into the Ido Front, a settlement on the Abyss's edge, where Riko and Reg encounter new allies and face the horrifying consequences of the Abyss's curse.
With a MAL score of 8.6 from over 259,000 voters, Made in Abyss is celebrated for its masterful world-building and unflinching exploration of dark fantasy. The franchise, adapted from Akihito Tsukushi's manga, is known for pushing boundaries, making this season a potent continuation of the established tone following the prequel film, Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul.
This season specifically delves into the secrets of the Golden City, a legendary location within the Abyss, and introduces complex new characters whose own struggles and motivations add further depth to the already grim environment. Viewers should brace themselves for the series' signature blend of breathtaking beauty and visceral dread as the children push further into the unknown.
