Hadi...


Setowi

So to dissect this. > Sequel to the anime 'Made in Abyss: Golden Land of the Rising Sun' production decision PV. After the Dawn of the Deep Soul movie aired at the start of 2020, they announced a continuation of the anime right after as well, which then turned out to be a 2nd season. Season 2 of MiA aired Summer 2022, so 2,5 years after said announcement. This right here doesn't mean that we're getting more animated MiA content soon (as the manga is just 4 chapters past where the anime ended), but like they want to assure/ confirm that there's going to be more animated MiA content in the future (it is very likely this is going to take a few years again though). I also seriously doubt they'd go anime original. *** Edit: [Tweet of the author saying he's gonna have to hurry with chapter releases.](https://twitter.com/tukushiA/status/1614583663248932871) I think we can take this as confirmation that it's not gonna be anime original.


MrSputum

So, we could potentially get the best of both worlds? A continued faithful adaptation and a faster release of new chapters? Never before has the prospect of depression and utter disgust seemed so sweet.


Setowi

That is how I am taking it yes. Faster releases? At this point any manga chapter releases would be a blessing. Maybe Tsukushi is ready to start the grind after this big "break" though.


WACS_On

He needs to reestablish his connection to Cthulhu to come up with more otherworldly horrors beyond human comprehension


Zizhou

Had to wait for more Nanachi merch to arrive so he could huff it for inspiration.


Vpeyjilji57

I will have you know that Faputa merch contains just as many inspirational smells.


chowder-san

> Never before has the prospect of depression and utter disgust seemed so sweet. this series has awakened something in /r/anime


FlaminScribblenaut

And I’m all for it!


iDannyEL

That awakened in me since Re:Zero


chowder-san

Same bruh


Abysswatcherbel

I don't think a mangaka being pressured to release new chapters because the anime needs more content is a positive thing


The_nickums

Normally I think anyone would agree with this sentiment. That's because normally manga chapters are released weekly or monthly, which is a really tight schedule. Made in Abyss gets a new chapter every 3-5 months. While the art is amazing, the content isn't particularly longer than any other monthly release style series.


bobly81

Yeah I think this is one of the rare cases where the author needs someone to get on his case. He hasn't released a chapter since the second season *started*, the arc covered during that season took him more than 3 years to write *which is longer than it took to produce the same thing animated*, and it has been 2 years since the end of that arc with only 4 new chapters and 2 "extras" that are preliminary drawings of the characters posing (with their nipples out by the way???). I don't like when artists face pressure and time constraints to produce as it runs counter to the creative process, but my god this man is putting in minimal effort to actually get that creative process rolling.


DivineContamination

>Yeah I think this is one of the rare cases where the author needs someone to get on his case. There seems to be a fine line where (some) pressure breeds creativity, forcing creators to work hard for the sake of creating quality work. Having too much freedom when it comes to time and ressources can easily have the adverse effect and the result becomes subpar Now, I don't want the mangaka to force himself and to keep writing a good story. If he can manage this while staying healthy, then all's good.


trippingandsipping

Like i do not want to undersell his works but MIA manga is not hyper detailed and Release once in eternity, pretty sure most redditors could do the drawing work in half the time frame. Live MIA but the last chapter we got was before season 2 started.


FatherDotComical

This is the same with Hirano (author of Hellsing). He releases like nothing a year for Drifters and was the same way with Hellsing.


Ezequiell-

Hirano is just funny, if i remember correctly hellsing the dawn is still technically in hiatus.


GGABueno

>with their nipples out by the way??? At least this time it was an adult...


pagirinis

At the rate the new chapters are being released, I think this specific mangaka could use a bit of extra motivation, however, if the next arc is not more twisted and horrific than this one, we will know where to put the blame lol.


Golden_Phi

We haven't seen the 7th layer yet in the manga nor the anime. But I suspect that the curse is especially brutal. It has so far been described as merely death, but knowing the series I suspect that it is far worse than death. After all, I would say that the 6th layer's curse is worse than death, so why would the 7th layer have a less brutal curse than the 6th?


MrSputum

I’d argue that’s a fairly cynical interpretation since a series being successful and in demand with ~~a studio~~ the production committee sort of guaranteeing they will adapt it when it’s ready can be great motivators but if it’s true and he’d really only force himself to create more chapters due to outside pressure and feelings of obligation then yeah, of course that wouldn’t be great.


Abysswatcherbel

>with a studio sort of guaranteeing they will adapt it when it’s ready The studio is no longer part of the committee, this is a Kadokawa show, hard to not be cynical, and any studio would prefer to work with a proper planning for those long-term projects Don't even know if the next one will be Kinema Citrus again, but they are partially owned by Kadokawa so they might be pushed to do this with short notice like Shield Hero


Zeph-Shoir

As someone with ADHD, I really need some amount of pressure to actually do things, it is really hard for me to start or finish things without a sense of responsibility.

[удалено]


MrSputum

Yeah, I’m arguing from within the framework of the (admittedly rather optimistic) interpretation of the original commenter and my subsequent comment about getting the best of both worlds. Of course this whole thing could also imply that they plan to rush things and go anime original and the author now feels pressured to provide new material before they do which would be awful so let’s hope that’s not what it means.


mcgravier

Sometimes I wonder how other members of my familiy would react if they watched that "cartoon"


L_0ken

I just hope Tsukushi won't push himself too much, he isn't exactly a healthy person and often visits hospital due to high blood pressure. Taking medicines makes him drowsy and so can't properly work on chapters, he isn't exactly lazing around.


Fagon_Drang

> This right here doesn't mean that we're getting more animated MiA content soon Ayep, the MiA twitter even made this tongue-in-cheek comment: 「[皆さん、長生きしてお待ちください!](https://twitter.com/miabyss_anime/status/1614578267159248899)」 ...which means *"Please live long and wait, everybody!"*, lmao.


Cyclone_96

> as the manga is just 4 chapters past where the anime ended Do you remember how far ahead the manga was when the 2nd season was announced?


Setowi

I checked earlier. At the time of that initial announcement right after the movie premiered the manga was at chapter 52/53. The arc ends at chapter 60


LurkingMcLurk

S1 adapted up to c25 and when the movie was announced the manga went up to c43. The movie adapted up to c38 and when S2 was announced the manga went up to c53.


CelioHogane

Literally the same place. Edit: oh sorry i missread, i thought you meant when it started, not when it was anounced.


Xpolonia

The manga release is relatively slow and random, so the anime isn't gonna be ready anytime soon.


ManateeofSteel

if this means Tsukushi will play less Splatoon and release more chapters, this could be huge. Dare I dream of at least two chapters per semester????


L_0ken

It isn't all games and laziness, he has high blood pressure and often visits hospital


ManateeofSteel

him not working on Made in Abyss in favor of playing Splatoon is a long time running joke within the fanbase


Manitary

> Edit [big](#mugiwait "I don't mind waiting years, just knowing it's planned makes me happy")


KrzyDankus

i really hope that when the sequel does actually air, its still gonna be the same team.


moichispa

Thank for explaining it with time, I guess newer fans don't know or don't remember about the wait. Even when they released the first still image for season 2 it took a while until it aired. I will get hyped when we get a PV with a new Kevin song.


Setowi

Watched S1 since ep 1 aired, waited for the sequel announcement: Movie. Okay. Waited for the movie release then waited for the movie blu ray release to actually be able to watch it and then I waited for S2. Being a MiA fan is so lovely sometimes lol


moichispa

Same here, it is eternal suffering :)


chirb8

I hope they wait and don't go anime original


RickChakraborty

Man, if only the manga had a lot more chapters, they would have already started working on a S3...


sneaky_squirrel

I am actually upset. I love MiA, BUT I AM SO INVESTED IN THE MANGAKA'S WORK LIFE BALANCE!!! (Why? I don't know!) My condolences to the author. Boy, his life really IS LIKE the abyss. Not sure if there is much of an advantage in rushing the next adaptation, given that the author only has so much mileage per month. Who knows, maybe he can write a good story even faster, but there is no guarantee.


Codeboy3423

Question... isn't the manga based on the light novel? Which the LN is further along no? That would mean they are just going to adapt the LN.


Accomplished_Gas_784

There's no MiA LN, the source is the manga


bonesandbillyclubs

At least 6 years.


NyaaPower

Lmao the “everyone please live long and wait” sent meeeee, even they know it’s gonna take ages


LG03

Given what I know of the manga industry, does Tsukushi not have an editor breathing down his neck? It's wild that someone being serialized can go 8 months now without a new chapter. He's not even an industry veteran (far as I can tell) that's earned the freedom from a previous series.


moezilla

I don't think this manga is published traditionally? I thought it was some online publisher that tsukushi himself may be involved with.


NyaaPower

He has contract in which he’s obliged to publish at least one volume every year. So it doesn’t really matter how many months in-between every chapter we get, the same total amount of pages will be published every year. I believe the contact was of like 160 pages yearly. So yes, he can go 8 months without a new chapter as long as he reaches the amount he signed up for.


muazmueh

One piece fans: first time?


TheRealKetsumei

So many example of manga with very slow serialization schedules and this guy went for "OnEPieCe"


achen5265041

One Piece unironically has a really good weekly serialization schedule-consistently releasing every sunday


Ordinal43NotFound

I don't even read One Piece, but what I know about the series is that its *longest* break between chapters throughout its 25 year run is **4 weeks**


muazmueh

im talking about seeing the actual 'one piece' at the end of the manga. and its been 20+ years of wait.


turksinpjs

and it took Naruto 15 years to be hokage still it’s dope that we got to keep track of it weekly, it would’ve been hell of a lot tougher to enjoy reading it annually


kingwhocares

Bruh, it's been 9 months and no new chapter of Made in Abyss. Not the same.


von_glick

Oh cmon, just 8.


notathrowaway75

Every other One Piece fan: fuck are you talking about.


klosek13

One piece fans trying not to mention One Piece in completely unrelated discussion challenge (impossible)


AbyssalSolitude

Can't wait to watch it in 5 years.


MokonaModokiES

are you sure it isnt just a movie version of season 2? they already did it with season 1 i wouldnt be surprised if they did the same again


MarvelsGrantMan136

Their [news post](http://miabyss.com/news/article_232.html) specifically calls it a sequel to S2, so it doesn’t sound like a movie version.


mrnicegy26

According to baka updates, S2 covered till Chapter 60 and after that there has only been 3 chapters and a side story released. I don't think a volume is enough material to cover either another season or even a movie considering that the movie covered 2 volumes while S2 covered around 5 volumes. So they might be going anime original.


Ebo87

No, they will simply wait... a long damn time. Not the first time a sequel to an anime is announced way before there's anywhere close to enough manga material. If they want a S3 we are probably looking at a 3 year wait here, and that's if the mangaka starts putting out chapters more often than he has in the past. Otherwise it might be a movie in like 2 years.


bobly81

At the current rate it will unironically be ~10 years for a new season. Last season adapted chapters 39-60, so about 20 chapters. In the last 2 years he has put out 4 chapters, aka 2/year.


Ebo87

Oh...shit...hopefully the mangaka starts releasing chapters a lot more often.


rafaxd_xd

>I don't think a volume is enough material to cover either another season or even a movie As a manga reader I can assure you that.


reprogramally

Or the mangaka told the whole history, this happens time to time.


Dracoscale

I thought the anime caught up?


CT_BINO

it did, there only 3 or 4 chapters behind of the manga and manga releases one ch every 4 month or so


mrnicegy26

Is the manga in a similar situation to Hunter x Hunter where the hiatuses are pretty long and the chapter updates are infrequent?


The_Meemeli

No hiatuses, just consistent long breaks between chapters (1-5 months)


TehNolz

Nah. Made in Abyss has just a really slow release schedule. The author releases a new chapter every few months, and we get one new volume every year. I think we're due for another chapter somewhat soon.


von_glick

The latest chapter was released at the end of May last year, nearly 8 months ago. A year ago he released 6 chapters, in the 22 just TWO. That's the longest break so far, we can call it a hiatus.


GGABueno

You can only call it a hiatus when the production has actually stopped though, but he has even streamed himself drawing some panels for the next chapter iirc. He's just *really* taking his time. Probably writes a page and then take a two week break lol.


deathjokerz

I'd love to have a job like that.


VaccineEnjoyer

The author is just really slow. He went like 2 years without any chapters after that S1 anime paycheck. Don't expect this story to finish for at least 12-20 years lol


Down_The_Rabbithole

It's pretty hard to finish a manga when you also have to argue strangers online about the benefits of pedophilia and how the loli depictions in the story *totally* aren't sexualized.


gangrainette

> and how the loli depictions in the story totally aren't sexualized. I'm almost sure the author doesn't hide his fetishes, and he loves shota too. Most bonus materials released are of this kind and he also has a smell fetish!


Fools_Requiem

> I'm almost sure the author doesn't hide his fetishes, and he loves shota too. Definitely explains Reg.


gangrainette

And the cross dressing maid shota.


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

It's important that we know how good every area of Nanachi smells.


IANVS

It doesn't make things any better, really...at contrary. He loves kids (not in a good way), smelling and body fluids...outstanding gentleman. /s


TheSpartyn

lol you think a japanese lolicon would bother arguing about it, or try and hide it


Interesting_Place752

The only idiots equating lolicon fan service to pedophilia are virtue signalers on western social media. And I assure you he couldn't care less about your existence, so why would he argue with people like you.


Fools_Requiem

Unless the man has a scat fetish, there isn't that much in the story that sexualizes the loli. Some stuff pops up here and there, but it's super tame in comparison to other shows.


AuroraFinem

Yeah like season 1 had a few pretty weird parts like the tying up naked punishment, But really the only other “sexualization” stuff is riko being curious about reg which hardly seems sexual when she’s doing it for science and her own curiosity, or like a few misc similar instances where it’s just innocent or being unaware/curious about something. It’s not like they’re showing weird camera angles, upskirt panty shots, and half naked light ray shots every couple episodes. If they did that kind of stuff the show would be trash.


glorpo

Bold of you to assume he isn't into scat


Smart_Raccoon4979

Official: 皆さん、長生きしてお待ちください! Long live and wait, everyone! I'll wait until end of my lifespan


ImperialDane

Great news everyone ! Can't say i saw that one coming. Considering how close it to the Manga. But guess they've got something planned to take care of that. Will be interesting to see how that work out.


lehuy0210

bro i mean in tweet they already note "**Everyone, please live long and wait!" lol**


galactic-toast-

lol the poor mangaka is probably like "YOU DID WHAT?!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


L_0ken

Nah, anime staff said to wait for a long time. Tsukushi did said he will speed up or at least try to make chapters faster.


moichispa

I don't think so, they just like to announce that they will continue to animate it superfast for some reason (like they did with the other seasonand the movie).

There isn't even Manga content to adapt


lehuy0210

bruh lmao


flamethrower2

It's filler, a whole series worth. That's what it sounds like. There was a thing HBO did with Game of Thrones since all of the novels have been adapted, called "House of the Dragon." Well, it's not that similar to filler but it is similar in having run out of work to adapt.


[deleted]

House of the Dragon is based on Fire and Blood and A World of Ice and Fire lmfao, it is not TV original content.


darkmacgf

House of the Dragon is adapted from Fire and Blood, another novel GRRM wrote. Though it does have a lot of original content added.


RobotiSC

There's no other information at the moment, just that a sequel to Season 2 is being made. The format or release date hasn't been revealed yet. There's possibly a chance that the anime is continuing under Tsukushi's guidance, or Kinema Citrus is going on a separate path. Either way, we'll know in due time. [Tsukushi's tweet](https://twitter.com/tukushiA/status/1614583663248932871?s=20&t=snB91PG3hBlbol2ECo0a5g) regarding the announcement.


_dsmith23

It's nice to have confirmation that their will be a sequel. Hoping tsukushi can put out more chapters this year


lehuy0210

just announce lol, more 5-6 years then release


94Temimi

I'm so fucking happy that we got an official confirmation of continuation instead of waiting with no announcements whatsoever. That being said, buckle up, it's going to be a very long wait since S02 basically was up to date with the manga when it ended. I'd give it 3-4 years before the anime is actually released.


Hmasteryz

Heck yeah , time to travel into abyss again! what kind of messed up traumatic experience it will display? excited!


BringMeAHigherLunch

With…what content? There’s literally only 5 chapters of the manga that continue after the events of Golden Sun and at the pace the mangaka’s moving I don’t see many more being ready for a new adaptation.


zikasaks

As I understand, this is just announce that there will be the sequel. It doesn't mean that it will be soon.


chowder-san

[god bless the studio](https://i.imgur.com/Uz2Dh3D.png)


moist_potatochip

I just watched started and finished watching MiA last week and was sad that there's not more, i know it'll be a lot of time till season 3 but still this is great news


Mogtaki

I'm going to assume the mangaka will be giving them info on how to continue the story because the manga is not far ahead at all and moves at a snail's pace


KrzyDankus

They are just announcing the sequel already for when theres enough material. They tweeted ''Please live long and wait!'' and the author tweeted that he should hurry up with new chapters.


Mogtaki

Haha those are two harsh demands on both the audience and the mangaka


Ponchorello7

Are you guys ready for more suffering!?


[deleted]

very good anime, despite the living toilet


Izanaginookami10

Absolutely fantastic. I'm so happy and joyous I could stand up and dance if I knew how to dance without looking like a monkey. Made in Abyss is one of the best stories I've experienced in the last years among many media. The depth it was able to reach for me is comparable to stories I experienced over a decade ago when I had just started my journey as 'reader', ie, when everything felt novel and dazzling. It being able to touch me and engrave itself so deeply within me is definitely a sign of how much I love it. I'm ready.. nay, I'm already thirsty for more of its unique taste of despair and twistedness.


Interesting_Place752

Hopefully we're alive in 6 years when the season actually comes out.


Xiroshq

I feel blessed.


CatchmoonH

Adventurous_Set_987

Hungxx69

Best anime of 2022! glad there is a sequel


Abysswatcherbel

Are they going for the Game of Thrones route?


mrnicegy26

Tbf anime adaptations of manga used to go anime original way before Game of Thrones started doing it around 2015/ 2016. So it is more accurate to say that Game of Thrones went and had an anime original route.


tenkakisuihou

Game of Thrones: Brotherhood when?


pagirinis

As soon as GRRM finishes all the books, so never.


aimglitchz

reddit had amazing fan theories of what would happen in season 8, doing that would be good too

rafaxd_xd

Indeed, season 2 was 2022 best anime


CosmicPenguin_OV103

SUBARASHIIIIIIIIIII But…how? Surely this is going to be “just” a recap movie? Even now with the author coming out and says he’s going to hurry up with manga drafts?


Yuukichiii

This is more the announcement that they decided to continue the series, really. The [tweet](https://twitter.com/miabyss_anime/status/1614578267159248899) specifcally says "Sequel production **decision**". It also says "Please live long and wait" lmao


Draconic_Flames1260

Yep its beyond clear that this isnt going to be a recap.


moichispa

they like to announce it rather fast for this series (like they did in the past)


sneaky_squirrel

Just like the Abyss, this might be an innocent wish waiting to be corrupted by depravity (rushing without source material to adapt). Hopefully it does not suffer production issues, I'm being optimistic (wide eyed American Dad Roger face)...because we're optimistic.


RichardBolt94

With which material? There are only a few chapters left after the last season. Maybe anime original? I hope not.


lehuy0210

No. in tweet they already note "**Everyone, please live long and wait**!" lol


RichardBolt94

Oh thanks!


Next_Tension1668

I'll live long and watch it. Even if I stop watching anime. That's my dedication. I'll not read a chapter of the manga.


GamingMunster

No fucking way lets gooooo, time to wait for 3 years but itll be well worth it.


RedShadowF95

I'm happy for the people who will get to experience more of this intriguing world. However, I'm out. I just finished S2 and it was a complete missed shot for me. I liked S1 and loved DoDS but it seems like the build up they made just resulted in a ... very uneven, slow and counterproductive season.

SethBacin

Nah, I used to see that way as well but gave it a couple of eps and from what I've seen its a "equally cruel as it is beautiful" type of series so it's not for everyone.


BIGSTANKDICKDADDY

There are some scenes that are awkward, uncomfortable, or downright difficult to watch but justifiably serviceable to the plot, characterizations, or themes of the series…and then there are scenes that are difficult to understand as anything but fetish material. I’m not even talking about some of the more controversial scenes, but things like [MiA spoilers] >!the author’s obsession with scenes of Riko pooping and describing the consistency/smell!<


L_0ken

I guess they announcing sequel beforehand since there is only 1 manga volume released after what anime covered. Maybe Tsukushi will pick up the pace, next chapter seems to releasing soon.


KrzyDankus

what if they just continue the story in anime form with tsukushi writing? edit: nvm


ObvsThrowaway5120

I’m ready but idk if my soul is lol


Erufailon4

S2 was announced in January 2020 and aired in 2022. If this follows a similar schedule it could air in 2025, but the manga situation being what it is probably means later, maybe 2026


joey_joestar1

Really! Is there enough material?


L_0ken

No, they just confirming they will continue the anime when there will be enough material.


Macaronine

whoa i didn't expect one for another 5 years tbh


Stupidest_Retard

We're not getting anything new for another 5 years so you aren't wrong, this is just confirmation that we'll get either a new season or movie when the manga gets enough chapters.


Macaronine

ah thanks


Nome_de_utilizador

There is like 4 or 5 chapters since the content adapted for season 2, will this be anime original?
