Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul is Getting a Virtual Screening

Sentai Filmworks announced through an official tweet today that Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul will have Virtual Cinema Screenings starting on September 18.

Keeping the COVID-19 pandemic in mind, they came up with this idea for the films to reach our homes.

The Blu-ray and DVD versions of this movie were set to release on September 25 this year. The film, directed by Masayuki Kojima and written by Hideyuki Kurata, was initially released on January 17, 2020.

Sentai Filmworks also released a promotional video for the film before its initial release.

Made in Abyss is probably one of the most popular franchises ever. From the original manga to the anime, it has never failed to give us captivating content.

And we are more than happy after receiving this news.

Dawn of the Deep Soul continues the epic adventure of plucky Riko and Reg who are joined by their new friend Nanachi.

Together they descend into the Abyss’ treacherous fifth layer, the Sea of Corpses, and encounter the mysterious Bondrewd, a legendary White Whistle whose shadow looms over Nanachi’s troubled past.

Bondrewd is ingratiatingly hospitable, but the brave adventurers know that things are not always as they seem in the enigmatic Abyss.

The film opened in Japan on January 17, and ranked at #9 in its opening weekend, earning 102,284,000 yen (about US$929,300) in its first three days. The anime film received 4DX and MX4D screenings in Japan.

The 13-episode television anime series based on Akihito Tsukushi’s Made in Abyss manga premiered in Japan in July 2017. Sentai Filmworks licensed the series and released it on Blu-ray in October 2018.

The English subtitled version of the show streamed in the United States on Amazon’s Anime Strike service, and HIDIVE streamed the series outside of the United States. The dub is also streaming on HIDIVE. More details will be out soon. Till then, stay tuned!

About Made in Abyss

An orphaned girl named Riko lives in the Belchero Orphanage in the town of Orth.

The town surrounds a strange, giant hole going deep into the Earth, which is commonly called the Abyss.

The Abyss harbours artefacts and remnants of a civilization long gone, and is, therefore, the popular hunting spot for so-called Cave Raiders, who undertake arduous and dangerous descents into the mist-filled pit to recover whatever relics they can find.

Some legendary Cave Raiders earn the title of White Whistle, one of them being Riko’s mother, Lyza.

Riko’s longing in life is to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a White Whistle. One day she discovers a robot resembling a human boy in the Abyss and names him Reg.

Riko and her friends sneak Reg into Belchero and quickly welcome him into their close-knit group.

Sometime later, a balloon reaches the surface from the depths of the Abyss containing pages of discoveries made by Lyza, as well as a message for Riko stating she is waiting at the bottom of the Abyss.

Riko, determined to find her mother, bids farewell to her friends and departs to the Abyss with Reg as her companion.
