Acording to author: papa pole was about that Prushka was operating/experimenting on other kids(like Nanachi)and Bondrewd called "it" a pole that makes people into papa's -Papa-Pole
The Abyss is such a twisted and cruel place, that you need to do cruel and twisted things to explore it and survive. The fact that to become a white whistle, you must sacrifice someone that loves you, is a clear example that you have to abandon your humanity to keep going down.
I love how Bondrewd remembers the names and dreams of all the kids he has killed. It shows he truly cared about them, which is obvious cuz the cartridges wouldnt work otherwise but still.
Don't worry guys. "Papa's rod" isn't anything scary or weird. When Prushka was doing an autopsy on an animal she asked Bondrewd what that body part is and he said that "it's a body part that allows a creature to become a father". So Prushka decided to call it "Papa's rod".
Or probably they take baths together like father daughter thing, it's pretty common where I'm from and in Japan and Asian countries. I know it might seem weird to westerners but yeah I did that with my dad but not anymore lol
Plus, even IF it was the worst case scenario, and Bondrewd really was doing that sort of abuse to little Prushka, it would still be the least offensive and awful thing he's done all day. The fact that I can unironically say that is terrifying.
it is also my favorite song from this film! it is hauntingly beautiful, it also perfectly nails the fact that science can be epic, amazing, inspiring and grand yet horrifying, horrific, gruesome and cruel at times all mushed into one song!
you know that's the kinda thing interesting and scary about white whistle people. They lost humanity and gained wisdom and a perspective to the point where they're almost like gods who think and work on an entirely different plane than normal humans.
I find it twistedly ironic that bondrewd essentially gave everyone what they wanted, including himself, just not how they wanted it. He gained the blessing of the abyss, successfully replicating Nanatchi, but died almost immediately. Reg learned more about himself through him, but lost an arm. Nanatchi freed her mind from Bondrewds trauma, but couldn’t ultimately stop his plans and he will still always be with her. Riko finally got her own white whistle, but had to lose Prushka to get it. And poor Prushka gets to go on her adventure with her papa and friends, as she is now Riko’s white whistle, and Bondrewd can see everything that Nanatchi sees, so he is there too. Such a uniquely monstrous person...
Ngl, this movie outperformed the entirety of the first season in every aspect. Bondrewd might also be one of the most underrated anime antagonists of all time. Maybe not close to the best, but he doesn't get enough credit as being as we'll written as he is.
@@peasant6692 Oh there's absolutely no contest. Anytime he was on screen in the movie, it got 10 times better (not that it's ever bad when he wasn't on screen).
@@peasant6692 By far? I think just about all the major characters(And some of the minor ones, like Ozen) are really well written as well, it's just that Bondrewd is an antagonist who is given the same amount of authorial attention and characterization that the main three characters are. I think that's part of why the writer decided to include that insane panel of Prushka's dream of him joining them on their adventure, what, at least in her mind, could have been, and maybe the writer's love of the character as well.
Bondrewd is such a good villain. He's not even malicious, he just has a very twisted view in the sense that EVERYTHING can be sacrificed to further his aims up to and VERY much including himself. He didn't show fake warmth to those children, he really cared for them and even when he used them he remembered what personality each one had. Even when the body he worked so hard to attain was destroyed he was still courteous to Nanachi, giving her his best wishes. No hard feelings whatsoever. Honestly he's one of the best villains I've seen in anything.
The thing i like about Bondrewd is that, he is the crystallization of curiosity. He is Riko's curiosity taken to its most extreme. Its a thing i didn't see included, but is interesting is how Bondrewd is seen as a hero to the people on the surface. Hunting powerful monsters and preventing stuff like the creatures that was burned from spreading. And making a base in the 5th layer that lets people go explore the layer, or move on to the then inviolable 6th layer. It's a thing of the White Whistles holders being heroes to the people as well as monsters of the Abyss.
The thing that gets me every time I read/watch this arc is that Brondrewd, in his own twisted way, truly loved all of his children. The curse transfer only works when there is love as shown by Mitty and Nanachi.
@@_P2M_ He still legitimately loved them though. He remembered all their names and dreams despite after their disfiguration EDIT: Although you are correct that the curse repelling effect only requires love from one side
@@itsSmiv that's just how morally one sees it. But all his experiments wouldn't work if he didn't love them back to make progress, you need to make sacrifices sometimes, and that's pretty much all what Bondrewd is with his experimentation. They are not like in a "real world" situation, it's necessary what this people does to keep exploring, not only for Bondrewd
Okay the thing about bondrewd that the movie doesn't mention but manga does is that, after multiple divisions of his consciousness, bondrewd's real actual personality has disappeared, what is standing as bondrewd now is something entirely new, and the only aspect this new personality has retained is that of bondrewd's scientific intellect and curiosity. So now bondrewd after using the blessing of the abyss multiple times has become just one of the monsters of the abyss. And if you think about it, he is at the forefront of the exploration of the abyss, literally lives in the deepest part of the abyss. If it wasn't for everything he did, his experiments noone would've been able to explore the abyss as well as some have. He, unlike every other white whistle, didn't sacrifice someone else but gave up his own self to move forward. So you can't even call him a hypocrite for using others for scientific progress, he used himself too till the point that he was no longer himself. Also I cry everytime at that part where bondrewd picks up a wailing prushka and holds her close to his chest....just seeing bondrewd be such a loving parent and then do such horrific things to prushka just kinda reminds me a lot of toxic parenting where parents make the kids incredibly dependent on them, give them love in the hopes for tieing them down...it just hit home. I bawled my eyes out because how could he!? How could bondrewd raise prushka up so well, give her all the love only to use her, limit her future and do something so horrible to her. And the worst part was prushka loved bondrewd from the bottom of her heart, to her bondrewd was everything. That whole segment with the music just makes my soul cry.
I like to think bondrewd was once a genuinely decent person. As it is mentioned in the manga, after using zoaholic so many times, the only thing that stayed intact was his scientific curiosity and his drive for knowledge. He's such a well written antagonist I swear, probably the best I've ever come across in any form of media. Despite all he did, I can't call him evil any more than I would an earthquake.
Totally random but their explanation of the whole "meta" aspect of the abyss, that maximum suffering requires care/love, finally made me understand how absolutely eldritch the abyss is. Like holy shit, layer 5 only affects "human senses"? The abyss actually responds to human emotions like love? This fucking pit knows exactly what it is doing.
Its so terrifying how Bondrewd's actions and manner are so dissonant. He is so internally consistent, you believe that he believes that he is righteous in his actions. His love is real. He adores his children, he cheers them on, and you feel he is completely in their corner, and he IS until progress needs to be made. There isnt any moral dillema for Bondrewd, the loving of the children, and the creation of the cartriges are one in the same. The scariest thing is how he can state a childs feelings and asperations so easily after he has taken everything from them.
Here's a fun fact from the manga: The first Bondrewd that they killed was a "model" that he uses for social things. It's why Reg killed him so easily. The 'Papa pole' thing is just because of how he explained reproduction during autopsies of animals. I think as a being, Bondrewd is above anything carnal or even concepts such as enjoyment and pleasure.
I agree completely with the what you said there. Bondrewd never at all seemed like that type to me - plus it really wouldn’t make sense for his character, as you’ve mentioned.
@@i5m5bob I find that very unlikely seeing as he built his relationship with her as a father/daughter dynamic. That plus the fact the author explained the meaning behind that line.
I can't help but anticipate reading the manga some day but I've heard stuff about sexualisation of the young characters. Is it really prevalent? Might needs a heads up. I'm really anticipating the arc after this one and want to read it, but I'm a bit torn.
@@GudetamaSit If you go ahead and read the manga, you will get what you anticipated, but it will cost your sanity. And yes it does have sexualisation, only not in the kind you would expect it to be. It's a masterpiece.
@@GudetamaSit I wouldn't really say that? It's kind of closer to kids starting to hit puberty kind of thing, even if it pops up at odd times. It's not really prevalent either so I would say it's worth watching the show if it's literally less than a handful of scenes of things that could be misconstrued.
The move adaptation was faithful, but they did leave out a couple of things. Hobo is telling the kinds on the surface that he met Bpndrewd once and felt as if he were in the presence of something not human. He also said that Bondrewed was from another country and is said to have committed some crime. Bounty hunters sent to get him always dissapear. Then later when Bondrewed is talking to Riko and Nanachi he says that 2 other White whistles took their last dive; Lord of Mystery and Lord of Guidance. One went through the Ido Front elevator, but another somehow invaded the 6th layer through his own means. I can't remember which one did what, so someone else can clarify. I'm upset they left out the part of those two White Whistles, and I hope they interject that information later. I feel like they will be important later on. They are somewhere down there and will likely meet up with our characters. If anything from the first point or second point is inaccurate, someone let me know. That should be the gist of it. It's been a while since I read those sections.
Wakuna invaded the 6th Layer using a personal relic. The only other things really absent are the exposition about Bondrewd's relics in the 'Pointers from Nanachi' feature, the fate of Bondrewd's used up bodies. I miss all of it (and Nanachi commenting on Bondrewd being cuter after receiving 'The Blessing'), but ultimately I'm not really sure whether the inclusion of them would have improved the story much.
There are 7 known layers. The 6th is the Capital of the Unreturned . The 7th is called the Final Maelstrom. Barely anything is known about this layer other that the idea that ascending is certain death and that Ozen told them that a few White Whistles have gotten information up that there is a mysterious ring around the entrance. We don't know if there is more beyond that. There are a few bits of info known about the terrane of the 6th layer, but the nature of the 7th is a complete mystery.
I've thought a bit about why this story isn't as depressing as it could potentially be and I've hit upon this thought. As heartbreaking as Prushka's story is... ...she spent her entire childhood believing her father loved her, and she died never realizing her trust was betrayed. It was built on a foundation of monstrous horror, but her happiness was real.
So you both got this but ill repeat my comment from another video. Bonedrewd was not going to stop them from moving on. But he did know they needed a white whistle to do so and they currently didnt have one. He wasnt going to go down with them so they would be stuck until they got a white whistle. Its why he didnt grab Riko to experiment on and went after Reg (before he knew how important Reg was to Nanachi). This doesnt come up until riko and nanachi sneak into the processing center but bondrewd fully expected Nanachi to sacrifice Riko to obtain a Life reverberating stone/white whistle and use that to move on. Nanachi has done things like that before (luring orphans and then sacrificing them to turn them into cartridges) and thought that was their plan since he believes nanachi is just...like....him. Its why he showed up when they were both in the processing center (to offer his own expertise in how to obtain a life reverberating stone). Thats why he wanted to recruit nanachi and kept trying to convince them to rejoin his research. He tried using their respective desires (Rikos desire to become a white whistle is one) to guide them and help him (wittingly or unwittingly) accomplish his goal. Prushka becoming Rikos White whistle was not in bonedrewds plan (in fact he really didnt want them to get a life reverberating stone until he got what he wanted from them). Side note: In the first Season there is a flashback where nanachi handed bonedrewd a Cartridge and he complimented her on the quality of the cartridge.
one small correction, besides that everything is correct. In the manga, Riko was actually the one that was supposed to be the White Whistle. Bondrewd deduced that since Riko is the one with the most disadvantages in this journey he thought Nanachi wanted to turn Riko into Your Worth. He thought Ozen already explained to them about Your Worth so he didn't ask any questions and thought they had made a firm resolve to sacrifice Riko (he was silent about it probably an attempt to be sensitive about it lol). He was probably waiting for Nanachi to talk to him about Your Worth so that he can do the preparations. Dismantling Reg was just his curiosity taking over just like what Ozen and Riko when they first met Reg did but Bondrewd planned to do it more thoroughly.
@@megugu2155 I thought i said that in the post but yes. they skipped that direct convo in the movie (unfortunately). But bonedrewd believed that Nanachi was pretty much using the same tactics he did with gaining the trust of a orphan to sacrifice them to gain some end goal. he thought that nanachi would sacrifice Riko to turn her into a white whistle. there is a chance he also thought that Reg was a obstacle to that goal which is why nanachi didnt do it before so thats why he snuck in and took reg alone (and it allowed him to experiment on reg so win/win in his mind.). i believe that is why he was taken aback when she accepted his deal for both their safety (not realizing she valued reg).
@@lookw lol just noticed but its kinda funny how Bondrewd's actions throughout this arc implies that he's actively trying to silently understand other people and trying to understand subtle social cues when in reality he is so far off the trail. Like what you said, he thought Nanachi was on his side because he thought Nanachi has the same mindset as him and stuff. And him being silent about the White Whistle issue until it was brought up as an attempt to be sensitive about it. Makes him seem like an awkward destructive (yet relatively safe) AI trying to understand human intentions. Its probably why pixiv has so many fan comics of him being goofy.
An interesting thought experiment to have with Bondrewed is to think about how he would be seen by our legal system. IN this case they would obviously understand the magical aspect of this. I actually think he would be considered legally insane and not responsible for his actions for everything that he did after using the Soul Slave machine. He was likely into some shady, unethical practices before, but I feel that splitting himself up made this worse. Just look at how he unnervingly never gets angry. I think that splitting ups his soul and sharing it with so many other beings has lead him to no longer have the full range of human emotions. He is obsessive. Only some of the most extreme worst and some of the most extreme best stayed with him. His drive for science now has no bounds, and his ethics are gone, however he still maintains a capacity for love. It makes you wonder what kind of person he was before his consciousness was divided like that. He clearly did have some good attributes. His feelings about children and families and powerful and ring true. He even clearly did a decent job of raising Prushka. However he shares those aspects of himself with the duality of his darkest nature; one where the ends justify any means and where loving someone does not mean you won't do something horrific to them.
The arc of the 6th layer is still going in the manga, appearing to be close to completion. It is much longer than The Idofront Arc therefore IMO it will be another 12/13 episode season coming in a year or two. Then we have the 7th and possibly more layers. Still a ways to go in the series.
when you realy think of it.... HE IS THE BEST DAD he "indirectly" transforms/sacrifices his daughter into a white wistle for riko so she can go andventuring with riko (her wish)
I just want to comment on Penkin doing it again. I am a gigantic Made in Abyss OST fan. I've listened to it dozens and dozens of times. I had high hopes but also, realistic expectations for this movie's OST and I couldn't believe that he surpassed my hopes, expectations, everything. I almost cried from joy while listening to it the first time. Some of my favorite tracks: -- Echoes Faith reBirth Prayer and Immolation The Return of Made in Abyss Riko's Cooking (this one gets weird and crazy at the end) Papa's Lullaby Quartet for Broken Arms reBirth; Arranged Stingerhead Nest Water Sanctum Tozo Hanoline Transcendence and Hanezeve (this one is so fucking good omg) Dark Reg, NIghtmare Fuel The Rumble of Scentific Triumph Prushka Sequence (like Transcendence, this one is absolutely incredible) -- That's nearly half of the track list lol. Everything else is also great. Seriously, go check it out and buy his stuff if you can.
One of my favorite bits of symbolism (that I've yet to see a reactor catch/comment on (I'm posting this before I've watched all of their commentary so I don't know if they did or not yet)) is how while Reg is fighting Bondrewd, we see (based on the eye that's exposed) that he's a monster under his mask. But then, after he gives up his ambitions and is just rooting for Nanachi and her friends' success, he's no longer a monster; he's just a human. I love how it's such a simple metaphor but there's so much that can be read into it, too. Like, did he regain his humanity, or was his humanity always there and the just stripped away the monster that was covering/overshadowing it? Or is it more showing Mr. Hyde being suppressed and allowing Dr. Jekyll out? How much humanity _does_ he have left? etc. etc. Just that simple bit of symbolism leads you down a contemplative rabbit hole, and I love it! Interesting stuff to think about.
When you realize that Bondrewd wasn't the enemy, that he is acting at the request of Lyza and ensured that he had the materials for Riko's white whistle ready and willing.. yeah this story did that.
I watched this movie about a month ago, now here I am suffering through it again because of you. Why must this series destroy my heart like this, can't we go back to the times where it seemed like this was a lighthearted adventure story? Granted, that only encompassed like the first 3 minutes of the first episode
20 minute reaction, 1 hour and 40 minute review? This is gonna be good. I felt a little nauseous when I first saw Reg and Prushka's surgeries. It's a shame Prushka couldn't have her dream of 18:36 happen. I swear that image, together with the music still make me emotional.
I mean... her dream did come true, in some way: - Reg, Riko, Nanachi, and Meinya are physically going on an adventure. - Prushka is shown to still have some form of sentience, albeit extremely limited, as she lives on as Riko’s white whistle. - Bondaddy is still watching everything the crew does through Nanachi’s eyes. Effectivly being a part of the adventure team.
Subarashiidesu ne, yes this movie was amazing and Bondrewd is such a great villain? well is he even technically a villain, he did some terrible stuff yeah, but ultimately with the goal of helping Riko and Reg advance further into the Abyss. And in case of making his White Whistle he was the first one to sacrifice himself, truly fascinating if you think about it also seeing that they do this (movie reactions) too, makes me excited for when they finally are far enough into Sound! Euphonium to watch Liz and the Blue Bird
Err..............well remove Riko and Reg from the "advance further" and you pretty much got his goals in a nut shell. He wanted nanachi to sacrifice Riko to obtain a White whistle (which technically speaking means she would move on.............just after she became a white whistle) so they would be able to expand their research with 2 blessed people with white whistles. He only considered Riko a necessary sacrifice for Nanachi and Reg he wanted to take apart to understand how he operates (maybe to recreate it). When he learned that Nanachi considered Reg important to them bonedrewd he adjusted his goals accordingly (continue trying to recruit nanachi). He didnt plan for Prushka to become rikos White whistle though he accepted their drive to have a adventure beat his own ambition after they defeated him and he wishes to see them continue.
The worst thing about Bondrewd is that he isn't doing this to be cruel or sadistic. He isn't doing this stuff for pleasure. He has no qualms about doing this and is just processing meat. This is what Josef Mengele would aspire to be.
15:04 I knew Nanachi wasn't going to get hurt so I burst out laughing at their reactions. They were so certain Nanachi was gonna die. One of them even started crying
Bondold, even if his body dies, he can shift his consciousness to a masked person unless he destroys Zoaholic. The real Bondold died after turning into a white whistle. The Bondold that exists now is just a bodyless consciousness.
Since someone has to die to create a white whistle, it raises the question of who died to make Lyza's. Torka, Riko's father died on the dive where Riko was born. Did Lyza kill him?
Something that really pissed me off is that Bondrewd said "oops, it's too late" about cutting off Reg's hand. But it wasn't cut off yet, and he was consciously controlling his other bodies. He pretended otherwise but he could've stopped the experiment.
"I'm sure we'll get some happiness before getting back into the suffering." We'll, you'll get like 30 seconds before the crew discovers insects turning cave dwellers into incapacitated living hives.
the movie didn't rly needed to be self contained, it can carry over since everything here is 100% canon, the same thing happens to Prushka in the manga and her whistle keeps being a important device.
Seeing as what the 5th level curse does i really really wonder how people ever made it away from that layer after going there, i know they said only a handful or 2 did but i still wonder
31:03 Its predictable because Bonedrewd literally had this in mind. He did send Prushka to befriend them. Because he thought they were at Idofront to make a soul stone. He changed his mind when Prushka showed a level of affection for him that he hadn't yet tested.
2:40 and he still didn't watch the movie when he said that... Watching what the Umbras did to Reg and to Prushka made me feel a sense of devastating pain right into my guts... seeing Prushka unconditioned love being betrayed like that... and yet, she still loved her "papa", because she protected that bastard from the Curse. On the other hand, her love for Riko and the others was equally great, and thanks to that, now Prushka will live inside Riko's White Whistle... from now on, the Flower of Dawn will bloom every time you'll feel a certain whistle blow, down in the deep reaches of the Abyss...
I wonder if they ever figured out that Reg had 1 arm the whole time he fought against Bondrewd when it got removed earlier that it didn't regenerate and that we can visually see him only use 1 arm and that his missing arm is visually missing.
Yes the bugs were in the lower part of the 4th layer; the area Riko's mother really liked. The terrane of the 5th layer is noticeably different; a cold, frozen landscape.
Love the line up of newest comments anticipating your reaction to S2. It's my personal fav I've seen this year, felt like a steamroller ran over my emotions. Never had a piece of media make me feel this... I guess: visceral.
LET'S GO! You finally reacted to it! Great reaction and discussion, even though I'm a little disappointed that you cut out most of the first fight of Reg vs Bondrewd. Can't wait for the next series or movie of MiA. Take care and peace :)
I think he completely lost it due to the curse and the use of his relic (manga explicitly said the process basically destroyed his personality and only left his rationality). He is hardly human anymore and clearly batshit insane.
They are going to make more anime when there is enough source material. It said to be continued at the end of the movie. There is a concept image out of the 6th layer as well that comes at the end of a video showing the animated journey of Made in AByss so far.
いつもけいらぶさんとジェイコブさんのリアクションを楽しみで見ています シーズン2をずっと待っているので、2人の素敵なリアクションを早くみたいです(՞ . .՞)” ♡ I'm always looking forward to watching Keirabu-san and Jacob-san's reactions I've been waiting for season 2 for a long time, so I'd like to see their lovely reactions as soon as possible.❤
How did I not know this video came out. What kind of subscriber am I? Love your vids and especially this one. I just wish I could watch the full reaction but I don't have money to spare.
While I do think this movie is good, I really hope they don't do another movie for the series. I hope they continue this adaptation in the form of a TV show. There are a lot of things that I enjoyed in the TV format that was kind of missing in the movie partly due to its tightened runtime. I mean sure the animation quality was a welcome boost but it already looked good in the series anyway. A lot of the twists lost its impact because of how fast they covered it and moved on to the next plotline instead of taking its time with it and grasping the sheer implications of a lot of the twist involved. There was a lack of character interactions that I really missed because of the movie format. Also can I just say I am not a huge fan of the more adult jokes like the one involving Reg and his penis. I don't need this. Did anybody ask for this? I don't think so. If I seem overtly negative towards the film, well I have to be considering I need to justify why I can't in good conscience call this a great film like everyone else deem it it be. It is a good movie that really would have benefited as a TV series. But hey, Ozin was not even in this movie for the majority of its runtime and she still managed to be my favourite part about it.
I do agree with you about the lack of character interactions and rapidly moving to the next plot point, but I don't see it as that big of an issue because Bondrewd's character still delivered amazing scene after amazing scene, for me he was definitely the best part about it. I don't really mind the jokes either. I still call this a great movie but do have to give it a few minus points here and there, overall it's like the best 8/10 anime movie I watched ^^
I also prefer series formats for anime adaptations. The amount of info pushed at us in this movie was overwhelming, even for someone like me who's read the manga. An anime only would need to watch it a few times to pick up on everything. They even left out a couple of plot relevant things like a out the Lord of Guidance and the Lord of Mystery taking their last dives, and they did not leave anything plot relevant out in the series. Plus movies take forever to become available. I'm hoping for a continuation as a series, but we're still fortunate to be getting more animated in general, though.

Acording to author: papa pole was about that Prushka was operating/experimenting on other kids(like Nanachi)and Bondrewd called "it" a pole that makes people into papa's -Papa-Pole
Nanachi is yalls favorite character. How do you guys feel about Reg?
Honestly, I could never really hate Bondrewd. He’s such a great villain.
The Abyss is such a twisted and cruel place, that you need to do cruel and twisted things to explore it and survive. The fact that to become a white whistle, you must sacrifice someone that loves you, is a clear example that you have to abandon your humanity to keep going down.
Regarding the unknown dephts:
Ozen gave them info on a mysterious ring that appears near the boundary to the 7th layer
(in Ep.8 I think)
Prushka: I want to be a white whistle!
Bondrewd: 'Aight!
I’m dying
Naaa this is just wrong💀
Haha 🤣
I just realized the original bondrewd became a white whistle just like his daughter 😭
"a White whistle driver" not "a White whistle"
Oof LAMO
I love how Bondrewd remembers the names and dreams of all the kids he has killed. It shows he truly cared about them, which is obvious cuz the cartridges wouldnt work otherwise but still.
Im pretty sure they would still work, its the love of the person rederecting the curse part
@@arjanjung1009 It was said that it needs to be double sided love in episode 12 I believe.
Its experiments its way worse than being killed
It takes an evil person to do something like that to kids or people "he cares" about.
More like a hobby
Don't worry guys. "Papa's rod" isn't anything scary or weird.
When Prushka was doing an autopsy on an animal she asked Bondrewd what that body part is and he said that "it's a body part that allows a creature to become a father".
So Prushka decided to call it "Papa's rod".
Thanks of that tidbit.
Just a normal day for the best worst dad.
Or probably they take baths together like father daughter thing, it's pretty common where I'm from and in Japan and Asian countries. I know it might seem weird to westerners but yeah I did that with my dad but not anymore lol
Smokey Chan ops comment was from an interview with tsukushi
Plus, even IF it was the worst case scenario, and Bondrewd really was doing that sort of abuse to little Prushka, it would still be the least offensive and awful thing he's done all day.
The fact that I can unironically say that is terrifying.
"The Rumble of Scientific Triumph"
It started as a translator's joke, became a meme, and then became the official name of bonedrewd's theme
If I recall correctly, the mangaka actually thinks of "Transcendence and Hanezeve" as his theme (though I don't know the intent of the composer)
@@aldergodric4324 Dude has more than one body. He can have more than one theme song!
it is also my favorite song from this film! it is hauntingly beautiful, it also perfectly nails the fact that science can be epic, amazing, inspiring and grand yet horrifying, horrific, gruesome and cruel at times all mushed into one song!
I can just picture Bondrewd all "Aw did you come up with this meme yourself? Marvelous" and actually using that for his theme.
Bondrewd truly loves all of the children he has ruined and that's the scary thing about him.
you know that's the kinda thing interesting and scary about white whistle people. They lost humanity and gained wisdom and a perspective to the point where they're almost like gods who think and work on an entirely different plane than normal humans.
@@drakke125Channel "My goals are beyond your understanding"
I find it twistedly ironic that bondrewd essentially gave everyone what they wanted, including himself, just not how they wanted it. He gained the blessing of the abyss, successfully replicating Nanatchi, but died almost immediately. Reg learned more about himself through him, but lost an arm. Nanatchi freed her mind from Bondrewds trauma, but couldn’t ultimately stop his plans and he will still always be with her. Riko finally got her own white whistle, but had to lose Prushka to get it. And poor Prushka gets to go on her adventure with her papa and friends, as she is now Riko’s white whistle, and Bondrewd can see everything that Nanatchi sees, so he is there too. Such a uniquely monstrous person...
Similar like candle of desire huh ?
Bondrewd got demoted to spectator mode after this movie, basically.
I know Bondrewd is the antagonist and all, but you've got to admit that using yourself to create your white whistle is pretty badass.
He literally sacrificed his own humanity for progress. Very fitting.
@@liamc9998 the fact that his whistle is two hands clasping each other. As if passing down a torch from one to another.
@@LaconicKibitz, that’s an interesting way to look at it. Very interesting.
@@_P2M_ a human and skeletal/monstrous hand clasped in prayer. It's a nice bit of symbolism and cool design.
@@LaconicKibitz or is just the Gendo pose... xD
Ngl, this movie outperformed the entirety of the first season in every aspect. Bondrewd might also be one of the most underrated anime antagonists of all time. Maybe not close to the best, but he doesn't get enough credit as being as we'll written as he is.
I would argue that Bondrewd is by far the best-written character in the series. He is an absolutely amazing antagonist imo.
@@peasant6692 Oh there's absolutely no contest. Anytime he was on screen in the movie, it got 10 times better (not that it's ever bad when he wasn't on screen).
The only thing I'd say the first season did better was the pacing, just by virtue of it being a series and not limited to a movie's length.
I'd argue he should absolutely be in the conversation of best anime villains of all time.
@@peasant6692 By far? I think just about all the major characters(And some of the minor ones, like Ozen) are really well written as well, it's just that Bondrewd is an antagonist who is given the same amount of authorial attention and characterization that the main three characters are. I think that's part of why the writer decided to include that insane panel of Prushka's dream of him joining them on their adventure, what, at least in her mind, could have been, and maybe the writer's love of the character as well.
Bondrewd is such a good villain. He's not even malicious, he just has a very twisted view in the sense that EVERYTHING can be sacrificed to further his aims up to and VERY much including himself. He didn't show fake warmth to those children, he really cared for them and even when he used them he remembered what personality each one had.
Even when the body he worked so hard to attain was destroyed he was still courteous to Nanachi, giving her his best wishes. No hard feelings whatsoever.
Honestly he's one of the best villains I've seen in anything.
*THE RUMBLE OF SCIENTIFIC TRIUMPH*
Subarashī!

The thing i like about Bondrewd is that, he is the crystallization of curiosity. He is Riko's curiosity taken to its most extreme. Its a thing i didn't see included, but is interesting is how Bondrewd is seen as a hero to the people on the surface. Hunting powerful monsters and preventing stuff like the creatures that was burned from spreading. And making a base in the 5th layer that lets people go explore the layer, or move on to the then inviolable 6th layer. It's a thing of the White Whistles holders being heroes to the people as well as monsters of the Abyss.
The thing that gets me every time I read/watch this arc is that Brondrewd, in his own twisted way, truly loved all of his children. The curse transfer only works when there is love as shown by Mitty and Nanachi.
@@_P2M_
He still legitimately loved them though. He remembered all their names and dreams despite after their disfiguration
EDIT: Although you are correct that the curse repelling effect only requires love from one side
@Gameboy224 I interpreted it as meaning pain from the curse (or Reg's attack?) affecting Bondrewd was sensed by Prushka.
That is why he's Bondrewd: the Novel
constantly decieving your child and then murdering them is not love. Bondrewd's children loved him but there's no way he loved them back.
@@itsSmiv that's just how morally one sees it. But all his experiments wouldn't work if he didn't love them back
to make progress, you need to make sacrifices sometimes, and that's pretty much all what Bondrewd is with his experimentation.
They are not like in a "real world" situation, it's necessary what this people does to keep exploring, not only for Bondrewd
"And this is the last time they see her"
"Last time they see her like this!"
Idk why but the way he said it made me laugh so much
I kinda love how this reaction is basically a mixture of
"Ooooh oh noo" "nooo stooop" *sad crying noises
and
"Oh hell yeah" "Oh Yes F*** him up" xD
Wait they said the fword?
Oh, wow I did hear at 1:17:45
Might have to rewatch this reaction
Bondrewd. All the curiosity of science without any of the morals
pErFEctlY bAlaNCed
Okay the thing about bondrewd that the movie doesn't mention but manga does is that, after multiple divisions of his consciousness, bondrewd's real actual personality has disappeared, what is standing as bondrewd now is something entirely new, and the only aspect this new personality has retained is that of bondrewd's scientific intellect and curiosity. So now bondrewd after using the blessing of the abyss multiple times has become just one of the monsters of the abyss. And if you think about it, he is at the forefront of the exploration of the abyss, literally lives in the deepest part of the abyss. If it wasn't for everything he did, his experiments noone would've been able to explore the abyss as well as some have. He, unlike every other white whistle, didn't sacrifice someone else but gave up his own self to move forward. So you can't even call him a hypocrite for using others for scientific progress, he used himself too till the point that he was no longer himself.
Also
I cry everytime at that part where bondrewd picks up a wailing prushka and holds her close to his chest....just seeing bondrewd be such a loving parent and then do such horrific things to prushka just kinda reminds me a lot of toxic parenting where parents make the kids incredibly dependent on them, give them love in the hopes for tieing them down...it just hit home. I bawled my eyes out because how could he!? How could bondrewd raise prushka up so well, give her all the love only to use her, limit her future and do something so horrible to her. And the worst part was prushka loved bondrewd from the bottom of her heart, to her bondrewd was everything. That whole segment with the music just makes my soul cry.
Same
They didn't say it but they definitely implied it they said you lose your sense of self and sanity and that's exactly what he did and happened to him
I like to think bondrewd was once a genuinely decent person. As it is mentioned in the manga, after using zoaholic so many times, the only thing that stayed intact was his scientific curiosity and his drive for knowledge. He's such a well written antagonist I swear, probably the best I've ever come across in any form of media. Despite all he did, I can't call him evil any more than I would an earthquake.
Totally random but their explanation of the whole "meta" aspect of the abyss, that maximum suffering requires care/love, finally made me understand how absolutely eldritch the abyss is. Like holy shit, layer 5 only affects "human senses"? The abyss actually responds to human emotions like love? This fucking pit knows exactly what it is doing.
This movie is incredible. I'm listening to the soundtrack to this day
Can you hear it?..

@@bravado2809 Subarashī!
Its so terrifying how Bondrewd's actions and manner are so dissonant. He is so internally consistent, you believe that he believes that he is righteous in his actions.
His love is real. He adores his children, he cheers them on, and you feel he is completely in their corner, and he IS until progress needs to be made. There isnt any moral dillema for Bondrewd, the loving of the children, and the creation of the cartriges are one in the same.
The scariest thing is how he can state a childs feelings and asperations so easily after he has taken everything from them.
Bondrewd spent more time with Prushka more than Lyza ever spent with Riko
Here's a fun fact from the manga: The first Bondrewd that they killed was a "model" that he uses for social things. It's why Reg killed him so easily.
The 'Papa pole' thing is just because of how he explained reproduction during autopsies of animals. I think as a being, Bondrewd is above anything carnal or even concepts such as enjoyment and pleasure.
I agree completely with the what you said there. Bondrewd never at all seemed like that type to me - plus it really wouldn’t make sense for his character, as you’ve mentioned.
He could have used it for bonding reasons though.
@@i5m5bob I find that very unlikely seeing as he built his relationship with her as a father/daughter dynamic.
That plus the fact the author explained the meaning behind that line.
@@Cirac1 Source? He might have changed it to calm non-lolicon fans, considering what he favorites on art sites. It's just such a suggestive line.

The cool thing is that Bondrewd never lies, ever. Sometimes he doesn't tell the full truth or speaks vaguely but he never lies.
What a great dad, helping his daughter to become a white whistle.
Heh.
:D
I laughed at how Nanchi couldn't go thru the gate...
CUZ SHE WAS TOO FLUFFY FOR THE WET SURFACE XDDD
Season 2 is out now guys DON'T FORGETTTTTT
As a manga reader, all I can tell you is that the next arc is even worse...
Yes. Yes it is
I can't help but anticipate reading the manga some day but I've heard stuff about sexualisation of the young characters.
Is it really prevalent? Might needs a heads up. I'm really anticipating the arc after this one and want to read it, but I'm a bit torn.
Yea I don't know how he keeps making it more intense, but he does.
@@GudetamaSit If you go ahead and read the manga, you will get what you anticipated, but it will cost your sanity. And yes it does have sexualisation, only not in the kind you would expect it to be. It's a masterpiece.
@@GudetamaSit I wouldn't really say that? It's kind of closer to kids starting to hit puberty kind of thing, even if it pops up at odd times. It's not really prevalent either so I would say it's worth watching the show if it's literally less than a handful of scenes of things that could be misconstrued.
God this movie was insane. Bondrewd gives me chills. Amazing antagonist. I’d rewatch for him.
The move adaptation was faithful, but they did leave out a couple of things. Hobo is telling the kinds on the surface that he met Bpndrewd once and felt as if he were in the presence of something not human. He also said that Bondrewed was from another country and is said to have committed some crime. Bounty hunters sent to get him always dissapear. Then later when Bondrewed is talking to Riko and Nanachi he says that 2 other White whistles took their last dive; Lord of Mystery and Lord of Guidance. One went through the Ido Front elevator, but another somehow invaded the 6th layer through his own means. I can't remember which one did what, so someone else can clarify. I'm upset they left out the part of those two White Whistles, and I hope they interject that information later. I feel like they will be important later on. They are somewhere down there and will likely meet up with our characters. If anything from the first point or second point is inaccurate, someone let me know. That should be the gist of it. It's been a while since I read those sections.
Wakuna invaded the 6th Layer using a personal relic.
The only other things really absent are the exposition about Bondrewd's relics in the 'Pointers from Nanachi' feature, the fate of Bondrewd's used up bodies.
I miss all of it (and Nanachi commenting on Bondrewd being cuter after receiving 'The Blessing'), but ultimately I'm not really sure whether the inclusion of them would have improved the story much.
There are 7 known layers. The 6th is the Capital of the Unreturned . The 7th is called the Final Maelstrom. Barely anything is known about this layer other that the idea that ascending is certain death and that Ozen told them that a few White Whistles have gotten information up that there is a mysterious ring around the entrance. We don't know if there is more beyond that. There are a few bits of info known about the terrane of the 6th layer, but the nature of the 7th is a complete mystery.
I've thought a bit about why this story isn't as depressing as it could potentially be and I've hit upon this thought. As heartbreaking as Prushka's story is...
...she spent her entire childhood believing her father loved her, and she died never realizing her trust was betrayed. It was built on a foundation of monstrous horror, but her happiness was real.
Don't you feel that when Riko&Co entered the lift to the 6th layer, Bondrewd's speech felt a bit like him holding their funeral eulogy?
So you both got this but ill repeat my comment from another video. Bonedrewd was not going to stop them from moving on. But he did know they needed a white whistle to do so and they currently didnt have one. He wasnt going to go down with them so they would be stuck until they got a white whistle. Its why he didnt grab Riko to experiment on and went after Reg (before he knew how important Reg was to Nanachi). This doesnt come up until riko and nanachi sneak into the processing center but bondrewd fully expected Nanachi to sacrifice Riko to obtain a Life reverberating stone/white whistle and use that to move on. Nanachi has done things like that before (luring orphans and then sacrificing them to turn them into cartridges) and thought that was their plan since he believes nanachi is just...like....him. Its why he showed up when they were both in the processing center (to offer his own expertise in how to obtain a life reverberating stone). Thats why he wanted to recruit nanachi and kept trying to convince them to rejoin his research. He tried using their respective desires (Rikos desire to become a white whistle is one) to guide them and help him (wittingly or unwittingly) accomplish his goal. Prushka becoming Rikos White whistle was not in bonedrewds plan (in fact he really didnt want them to get a life reverberating stone until he got what he wanted from them).
Side note: In the first Season there is a flashback where nanachi handed bonedrewd a Cartridge and he complimented her on the quality of the cartridge.
This is really helpful, thanks
one small correction, besides that everything is correct.
In the manga, Riko was actually the one that was supposed to be the White Whistle. Bondrewd deduced that since Riko is the one with the most disadvantages in this journey he thought Nanachi wanted to turn Riko into Your Worth. He thought Ozen already explained to them about Your Worth so he didn't ask any questions and thought they had made a firm resolve to sacrifice Riko (he was silent about it probably an attempt to be sensitive about it lol). He was probably waiting for Nanachi to talk to him about Your Worth so that he can do the preparations. Dismantling Reg was just his curiosity taking over just like what Ozen and Riko when they first met Reg did but Bondrewd planned to do it more thoroughly.
@@megugu2155 I thought i said that in the post but yes. they skipped that direct convo in the movie (unfortunately). But bonedrewd believed that Nanachi was pretty much using the same tactics he did with gaining the trust of a orphan to sacrifice them to gain some end goal. he thought that nanachi would sacrifice Riko to turn her into a white whistle. there is a chance he also thought that Reg was a obstacle to that goal which is why nanachi didnt do it before so thats why he snuck in and took reg alone (and it allowed him to experiment on reg so win/win in his mind.). i believe that is why he was taken aback when she accepted his deal for both their safety (not realizing she valued reg).
@@lookw lol just noticed but its kinda funny how Bondrewd's actions throughout this arc implies that he's actively trying to silently understand other people and trying to understand subtle social cues when in reality he is so far off the trail. Like what you said, he thought Nanachi was on his side because he thought Nanachi has the same mindset as him and stuff. And him being silent about the White Whistle issue until it was brought up as an attempt to be sensitive about it.
Makes him seem like an awkward destructive (yet relatively safe) AI trying to understand human intentions. Its probably why pixiv has so many fan comics of him being goofy.
An interesting thought experiment to have with Bondrewed is to think about how he would be seen by our legal system. IN this case they would obviously understand the magical aspect of this. I actually think he would be considered legally insane and not responsible for his actions for everything that he did after using the Soul Slave machine. He was likely into some shady, unethical practices before, but I feel that splitting himself up made this worse. Just look at how he unnervingly never gets angry. I think that splitting ups his soul and sharing it with so many other beings has lead him to no longer have the full range of human emotions. He is obsessive. Only some of the most extreme worst and some of the most extreme best stayed with him. His drive for science now has no bounds, and his ethics are gone, however he still maintains a capacity for love. It makes you wonder what kind of person he was before his consciousness was divided like that. He clearly did have some good attributes. His feelings about children and families and powerful and ring true. He even clearly did a decent job of raising Prushka. However he shares those aspects of himself with the duality of his darkest nature; one where the ends justify any means and where loving someone does not mean you won't do something horrific to them.
The arc of the 6th layer is still going in the manga, appearing to be close to completion. It is much longer than The Idofront Arc therefore IMO it will be another 12/13 episode season coming in a year or two. Then we have the 7th and possibly more layers. Still a ways to go in the series.
when you realy think of it....
HE IS THE BEST DAD
he "indirectly" transforms/sacrifices his daughter into a white wistle for riko so she can go andventuring with riko (her wish)
Probably the youngest white whistle and the youngest white whistle.
the soundtrack in this movie is so good
I can just hear the rumbling...
I've been listening to it for the past 3 months
Wdym, he‘s the best dad ever.
Subarashī!
kore wa kore wa...kyoumi bukai
Oya oya
He loves Prushka so much, he went through all the trouble to make her a special lunchbox. Truly best dad

I just want to comment on Penkin doing it again. I am a gigantic Made in Abyss OST fan. I've listened to it dozens and dozens of times. I had high hopes but also, realistic expectations for this movie's OST and I couldn't believe that he surpassed my hopes, expectations, everything. I almost cried from joy while listening to it the first time.
Some of my favorite tracks:
--
Echoes
Faith
reBirth
Prayer and Immolation
The Return of Made in Abyss
Riko's Cooking (this one gets weird and crazy at the end)
Papa's Lullaby
Quartet for Broken Arms
reBirth; Arranged
Stingerhead Nest
Water Sanctum
Tozo Hanoline
Transcendence and Hanezeve (this one is so fucking good omg)
Dark Reg, NIghtmare Fuel
The Rumble of Scentific Triumph
Prushka Sequence (like Transcendence, this one is absolutely incredible)
--
That's nearly half of the track list lol. Everything else is also great. Seriously, go check it out and buy his stuff if you can.
One of my favorite bits of symbolism (that I've yet to see a reactor catch/comment on (I'm posting this before I've watched all of their commentary so I don't know if they did or not yet)) is how while Reg is fighting Bondrewd, we see (based on the eye that's exposed) that he's a monster under his mask. But then, after he gives up his ambitions and is just rooting for Nanachi and her friends' success, he's no longer a monster; he's just a human.
I love how it's such a simple metaphor but there's so much that can be read into it, too. Like, did he regain his humanity, or was his humanity always there and the just stripped away the monster that was covering/overshadowing it? Or is it more showing Mr. Hyde being suppressed and allowing Dr. Jekyll out? How much humanity _does_ he have left? etc. etc. Just that simple bit of symbolism leads you down a contemplative rabbit hole, and I love it!
Interesting stuff to think about.
When you realize that Bondrewd wasn't the enemy, that he is acting at the request of Lyza and ensured that he had the materials for Riko's white whistle ready and willing.. yeah this story did that.
I watched this movie about a month ago, now here I am suffering through it again because of you. Why must this series destroy my heart like this, can't we go back to the times where it seemed like this was a lighthearted adventure story? Granted, that only encompassed like the first 3 minutes of the first episode
20 minute reaction, 1 hour and 40 minute review? This is gonna be good.
I felt a little nauseous when I first saw Reg and Prushka's surgeries. It's a shame Prushka couldn't have her dream of 18:36 happen. I swear that image, together with the music still make me emotional.
I mean... her dream did come true, in some way:
- Reg, Riko, Nanachi, and Meinya are physically going on an adventure.
- Prushka is shown to still have some form of sentience, albeit extremely limited, as she lives on as Riko’s white whistle.
- Bondaddy is still watching everything the crew does through Nanachi’s eyes. Effectivly being a part of the adventure team.
Caleb and Jacob suffering gives me strength
jokes aside bonedrewd is a 10/10 character, right?
Completely agree... He is a terrible person but a truly excellent character
Bondrewd makes *killer* lunchboxes!
Subarashiidesu ne, yes this movie was amazing and Bondrewd is such a great villain? well is he even technically a villain, he did some terrible stuff yeah, but ultimately with the goal of helping Riko and Reg advance further into the Abyss. And in case of making his White Whistle he was the first one to sacrifice himself, truly fascinating if you think about it
also seeing that they do this (movie reactions) too, makes me excited for when they finally are far enough into Sound! Euphonium to watch Liz and the Blue Bird
Err..............well remove Riko and Reg from the "advance further" and you pretty much got his goals in a nut shell. He wanted nanachi to sacrifice Riko to obtain a White whistle (which technically speaking means she would move on.............just after she became a white whistle) so they would be able to expand their research with 2 blessed people with white whistles. He only considered Riko a necessary sacrifice for Nanachi and Reg he wanted to take apart to understand how he operates (maybe to recreate it). When he learned that Nanachi considered Reg important to them bonedrewd he adjusted his goals accordingly (continue trying to recruit nanachi). He didnt plan for Prushka to become rikos White whistle though he accepted their drive to have a adventure beat his own ambition after they defeated him and he wishes to see them continue.
The worst thing about Bondrewd is that he isn't doing this to be cruel or sadistic. He isn't doing this stuff for pleasure. He has no qualms about doing this and is just processing meat. This is what Josef Mengele would aspire to be.
15:04 I knew Nanachi wasn't going to get hurt so I burst out laughing at their reactions. They were so certain Nanachi was gonna die. One of them even started crying
Bondold, even if his body dies, he can shift his consciousness to a masked person unless he destroys Zoaholic.
The real Bondold died after turning into a white whistle.
The Bondold that exists now is just a bodyless consciousness.
Bondrewd does come back during the 6th layer in flashbacks. He still plays a big part even though he is not even there
Since someone has to die to create a white whistle, it raises the question of who died to make Lyza's. Torka, Riko's father died on the dive where Riko was born. Did Lyza kill him?
She already had her White whistle at that point
Makes me wonder, who died for Ozens whistle?
This was a lovely coincidence. I just finished binging the manga this week so I was able to follow this reaction/discussion.
I'm so glad they've been watching movie sequels to shows they've seen. Gives me hope someday they'll watch the heaven's feel trilogy
remember the season 1 ED? lol
Reg:
♪ Your left hand, with my right hand
♪
♪ Join it, connect us, and let's begin ♪
Something that really pissed me off is that Bondrewd said "oops, it's too late" about cutting off Reg's hand. But it wasn't cut off yet, and he was consciously controlling his other bodies. He pretended otherwise but he could've stopped the experiment.
"I'm sure we'll get some happiness before getting back into the suffering."
We'll, you'll get like 30 seconds before the crew discovers insects turning cave dwellers into incapacitated living hives.
the movie didn't rly needed to be self contained, it can carry over since everything here is 100% canon, the same thing happens to Prushka in the manga and her whistle keeps being a important device.
Prushka: "I want to be a white whistle!"
Bondrewd:
Their meta-detachment from the story to avoid imminent trauma is entertaining to watch 🤣
Came back here again since season 2 just started.
Every day, we get a little bit closer to their season 2 reactions... so hyped :)
Was counting the minutes to this release! Too excited to leave a quippy, informative, or rational comment so WEEEEEEEEEEE LETS GO
Seeing as what the 5th level curse does i really really wonder how people ever made it away from that layer after going there, i know they said only a handful or 2 did but i still wonder
Lets say. . . Oda Front's base existed before Bondrewd.
Bondrewd was travelling *with* the team in Prushka's dream Tsucc confirms.
I've never seen Jacob more uncomfortable pre-reaction
The way you were so into the story that you almost cried in many points got me almost crying too, lol
Rikko named Reg in the name of her last pet(dog).
Just think about it.
The time has come, and so have my Cartridges! * *Distant The Rumble Of Scientific Triumph plays on the background* *
31:03
Its predictable because Bonedrewd literally had this in mind. He did send Prushka to befriend them. Because he thought they were at Idofront to make a soul stone. He changed his mind when Prushka showed a level of affection for him that he hadn't yet tested.
2:40 and he still didn't watch the movie when he said that...
Watching what the Umbras did to Reg and to Prushka made me feel a sense of devastating pain right into my guts... seeing Prushka unconditioned love being betrayed like that...
and yet, she still loved her "papa", because she protected that bastard from the Curse.
On the other hand, her love for Riko and the others was equally great, and thanks to that, now Prushka will live inside Riko's White Whistle...
from now on, the Flower of Dawn will bloom every time you'll feel a certain whistle blow, down in the deep reaches of the Abyss...
I wonder if they ever figured out that Reg had 1 arm the whole time he fought against Bondrewd when it got removed earlier that it didn't regenerate and that we can visually see him only use 1 arm and that his missing arm is visually missing.
Yes the bugs were in the lower part of the 4th layer; the area Riko's mother really liked. The terrane of the 5th layer is noticeably different; a cold, frozen landscape.
Love the line up of newest comments anticipating your reaction to S2. It's my personal fav I've seen this year, felt like a steamroller ran over my emotions. Never had a piece of media make me feel this... I guess: visceral.
I wonder if they know that is the Japanese VA of Bondrewd also voices Yoshikage Kira and Sephiroth
Omg it's 2 AM in my country and you suddenly upload your reaction to my fav anime of all time when I'm about to sleep whyyyy

That's the whole reaction.
Oooooh my god, its here....LETS GET OUR DEPRESSION ON, crying myself to sleep here I come!!
LET'S GO! You finally reacted to it! Great reaction and discussion, even though I'm a little disappointed that you cut out most of the first fight of Reg vs Bondrewd. Can't wait for the next series or movie of MiA. Take care and peace :)
Before, the best dad would be Shou Tucker.
Now we have Bondrewd, the best dad of all time. Subarashii~~
If there is a second get ready because it gets worse.
How the actual... how does this get worse?
This anime series is much more "serious" then all the Marvel comics series.
Bondrewd is weirdly charismatic for perpetrator of mass infanticide.
Welp I wasn't expecting to cry this Friday, but I'm not even mad
I must be a savage because I was not this emotional when I watched this, and I was still a kid
"Doesn't work unless you love"
Not justifying but Bondrewd did have some twisted care. I hate him, he is a terrible person.
I think he completely lost it due to the curse and the use of his relic (manga explicitly said the process basically destroyed his personality and only left his rationality).
He is hardly human anymore and clearly batshit insane.
"worst dad ever"
Several people are typing...
They are going to make more anime when there is enough source material. It said to be continued at the end of the movie. There is a concept image out of the 6th layer as well that comes at the end of a video showing the animated journey of Made in AByss so far.

(┃) Welcome to ABYSS♥️
The movie was great, but the "liquid collected from Reg" I drank at the collaboration cafe was also delicious!
While I do think this movie is good, I really hope they don't do another movie for the series. I hope they continue this adaptation in the form of a TV show. There are a lot of things that I enjoyed in the TV format that was kind of missing in the movie partly due to its tightened runtime. I mean sure the animation quality was a welcome boost but it already looked good in the series anyway. A lot of the twists lost its impact because of how fast they covered it and moved on to the next plotline instead of taking its time with it and grasping the sheer implications of a lot of the twist involved. There was a lack of character interactions that I really missed because of the movie format. Also can I just say I am not a huge fan of the more adult jokes like the one involving Reg and his penis. I don't need this. Did anybody ask for this? I don't think so.
If I seem overtly negative towards the film, well I have to be considering I need to justify why I can't in good conscience call this a great film like everyone else deem it it be. It is a good movie that really would have benefited as a TV series. But hey, Ozin was not even in this movie for the majority of its runtime and she still managed to be my favourite part about it.
I do agree with you about the lack of character interactions and rapidly moving to the next plot point, but I don't see it as that big of an issue because Bondrewd's character still delivered amazing scene after amazing scene, for me he was definitely the best part about it. I don't really mind the jokes either. I still call this a great movie but do have to give it a few minus points here and there, overall it's like the best 8/10 anime movie I watched ^^
I also prefer series formats for anime adaptations. The amount of info pushed at us in this movie was overwhelming, even for someone like me who's read the manga. An anime only would need to watch it a few times to pick up on everything. They even left out a couple of plot relevant things like a out the Lord of Guidance and the Lord of Mystery taking their last dives, and they did not leave anything plot relevant out in the series. Plus movies take forever to become available. I'm hoping for a continuation as a series, but we're still fortunate to be getting more animated in general, though.
Oh yes
Oh...yes...
