Made in Abyss' plot summary
Made in Abyss season 2 is slated to premiere in July, 2022 as the highly-anticipated sequel to the smash-hit, which was the anime’s first season. The adventures of Riko and her friends, as they journey through the Abyss, will likely continue to be the series’ focal point in the upcoming season.
Made in Abyss follows Riko, an orphaned girl living in the town of Orth at the Belchero Orphanage, and at the center of the town is the Abyss. The Abyss is a giant, deep hole which delves into the earth’s core, containing artifacts and treasures of times and civilizations long past, for Cave Raiders to attempt to find and bring back.
Riko’s mother, Lyza, was one such Cave Raider, and a legendary one at that, before she took her “last descent” into the Abyss, currently presumed dead. With her goal in life being to follow in her mother’s footsteps, she begins diving into the Abyss herself, eventually meeting a robotic boy named Reg in the higher levels.
Some time after the meeting, discoveries pertaining to Lyza are found, such as her notes and discoveries, as well as a badge of honor called a White Whistle. One message, presumably for Riko, states that she’s waiting at the bottom of the Abyss. Thus begins Riko and Reg’s journey into the Abyss to hopefully find and reunite with her long-lost mother, Lyza.
