The backstory to this place is horrifying but despite that, is a fascinating watch regardless. The story gets more intriguing with every layer and the Golden City is no exception. But it is and is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. Ever since the trailer dropped, people were saying this season would be even darker than the movie, which I didn't think was possible. Made In Abyss S2 is a masterclass in storytelling, despite how much messed up and horrible sh*t goes down. The ED song is amazing though and the animation looks slick as expected. The story tried its hardest to push me away. The promise of the past season and the hope for a better season three is what kept me watching. This whole season was a mess and I hope for season three to be better so I can consider this a weird OVA fever dream that is not part of the overarching story. The fact that not everybody is explained is not an excuse to put up with utter nonsense and characters and there motivations make no sense whatsoever.
There seems to have been a fundamental misunderstanding between mystery and poor writing. Also there is some really unsettling sexualisation of loli characters going on in a way that absolutely rubbed me the wrong way. While season one contained a lot of suffering this season seems to just have suffering for the sake of suffering as if the writer is getting off to it. In season one we see a lot of mystery unfold about the abyss and what an unforgiving place it can be only to run into season two where we basically completely forget about the abyss and spend the whole season in a place where the rules of the abyss do not apply.
