say love you coldly

The atypical Japanese comic style and the setting of the dystopian heavy metal world view make this show easy to be labeled as "niche". But niche can also mean unique. The fresh and clear picture, the moving but not artificial plot, and the philosophical thinking about the image of "abyss" all make this work more charming than other fans.

The name is made in abyss, and the heroine was born in the abyss, and the hero came from the abyss. Therefore, the two protagonists' exploration of the abyss, one is to pursue the mother, the other is to know the origin of their own, and at the root, they are all to find the answer to the philosophical proposition "Who am I? Where do I come from".

As the protagonist continues to go deeper into the abyss, the environment gradually becomes more sinister. In fact, the world the protagonist lives in is a dystopian world at all - torture instruments left by the predecessor of the orphanage, young children to explore treasures, and punishments such as private possession and naked hanging are not allowed, the slums outside the town Such a desolate world and children who can only feed themselves on scavenging. All this coldness is in stark contrast to the friendship between the protagonist and his friends. And this emotional contrast is sublimated in the final episode.

I've seen too many episodes where the protagonist's halo erupts, and I'm very surprised and heartbroken. There are relatively few in this series. No matter how great a hero gets injured, he will suffer, he will die, he will lose, and he will be afraid of losing. But the so-called brave person knows this clearly, and still works hard to move forward. The abyss is everyone's yearning, it can be understood as everything you hope for. People tend to realize, just like Nanaki, that friendship and family love are the real treasures in their hands when they have gone through all kinds of hardships to find treasures.

"From the Abyss" is still a story of love and friendship, but it is affected by the mutation of the force field, in an almost indifferent attitude.

PS: The character of Zi Xianxiang has a style of painting, and I am used to it. The story pace of this season is generally slow. It feels like it will be rolled out after ten episodes. I hope to see the next season. Cold conscience is not easy to come by, let’s see and cherish it.
