Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun is a TV anime produced by Kinema Citrus, adapted from the manga by Tsukushi Akihito. The story follows Riko, Reg, and Nanachi as they descend into the Sixth Layer of the Abyss, encountering enigmatic figures such as Faputa and Wazukyan in a city shrouded in mystery and peril. Directed by Masayuki Kojima with series composition by Hideyuki Kurata, this dark fantasy blends adventure, horror, sci-fi, and mystery into a breathtaking narrative that pushes the boundaries of the abyss itself.

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun is the second season of the acclaimed Made in Abyss series, picking up immediately where the theatrical film Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul left off. The story is set around a colossal chasm known as the Abyss, a mysterious pit stretching deep into the earth and teeming with ancient relics and bizarre creatures. Those brave enough to venture into its depths are called Cave Raiders, though the Abyss exacts a terrible toll on anyone who attempts to ascend from its lower layers—a phenomenon known as the Curse of the Abyss. Following their harrowing experiences in the fifth layer, the young explorer Riko, her robotic companion Reg, and the enigmatic Nanachi now descend further into the unknown, reaching the sixth layer: the Capital of the Unreturned. This mysterious realm holds secrets that have never reached the surface world, and the trio must navigate its dangers while uncovering the truths buried within.
