Made in Abyss is an anime that stares into the void until the void blinks first. An adaption of the hit manga of the same name, Made in Abyss follows the young explorer Riko and her cyborg companion Reg as they descend into the Abyss, a network of caverns filled with dangerous monsters, unique civilizations, and enticing secrets.

Don’t worry, though; we’ve charted the perfect course for newcomers who wish to experience the exciting, heartwarming, and terrifying journey that is Made in Abyss. Here is everything you need to know about the best watch order for Made in Abyss.

  • Made in Abyss: Season 1 (2017)
  • Made in Abyss: Journey’s Dawn (2019)

This watch order was chosen based on how the anime and movies cover the manga content. Season 1 covers chapters 1 to 26, which comprise volumes 1 to 3 of the manga. Journey’s Dawn and Wandering Twilight are recaps of the first season and cover the same material. Dawn of the Deep Soul covers chapters 27 to 38, which form volumes 4 and 5 of the manga.

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun covers chapters 48 to chapters 60 from volumes 6 to 9. Even though the first two films are just recaps of season 1, we recommend watching them since they are still an enjoyable experience that explores aspects of the Made in Abyss universe that aren’t explored in the anime.
