The world of “Made in Abyss,” crafted by the ingenious and perhaps slightly sadistic mind of mangaka Akihito Tsukushi, is a labyrinthine journey into the depths of human resilience and the harrowing unknown. From its inception in 2017 with the first season to the chilling depths explored in the sequel movie “Dawn of the Deep Soul” in 2020, and then further into the abyss with the release of the second season, “The Golden City of the Scorching Sun,” in July 2022, audiences have been thrust into a realm where innocence collides with the horrors of a nightmarish underworld.
Yet, despite the overwhelming emotional toll it exacts on its viewers, there’s an undeniable allure to the series that keeps us riveted. The sheer brilliance of Tsukushi’s worldbuilding, coupled with the lingering mysteries of the abyss, beckons us deeper into its unsettling embrace. The desire to uncover the secrets hidden within its depths outweighs the heartache inflicted upon its characters.

As fans eagerly await news of a third season, the announcement on January 15, 2023, of a sequel to “The Golden City of the Scorching Sun” sent ripples of excitement through the community. However, the anticipation is tempered by the realization that the wait may be longer than expected. Tsukushi’s deliberate pace in releasing new chapters, averaging a mere 3-4 chapters per year, means that the source material for a full-fledged season remains scarce.
With the manga yet to breach Chapter 70, the prospect of a third season seems distant, potentially delaying its arrival until at least 2025, if not later. Yet, amidst the longing for continuation, there’s a prevailing sentiment among fans: quality over haste. The desire for Tsukushi to meticulously craft his narrative outweighs the impatience for immediate gratification.
Reflecting on the five-year gap between seasons one and two, fans understand the value of patience in the creation of a masterpiece. The journey into the abyss is one not to be rushed but savored, each revelation and twist meticulously crafted to elicit maximum impact. Thus, while the wait may be arduous, the promise of a season three that lives up to its predecessors is worth every agonizing moment.
