I highly recommend watching Made in Abyss as a standout example of engaging, sinister, and emotional storytelling, and an especially fantastic one involving children. But I believe the more optimal viewing method would be to watch the TV series. The compilation films allow you to get the gist of the story in about half the time, but a lot of detail is most likely lost. Spending that much more time with these characters probably grants a greater amount of attachment, which makes the emotional investment worth that much more when it pays out.

Made in Abyss has done an excellent job with how it’s introduced these darker elements in a way that’s felt natural, but Dawn of the Deep Soul continues this trend and goes to places that aren’t just bleak for Made in Abyss, but anime in general. There are straight up children getting tortured and psychologically brainwashed in this movie and it’s treated like business as usual. Dawn of the Deep Soul is the Made in Abyss sequel that fans have been waiting for, but it’s also one that doesn’t pull any punches and is ready to test its characters in new ways.
