Made In Abyss “Village of the Hollows” Review
Made In Abyss “Village of the Hollows” is the third episode from the second season of the Made In Abyss anime. Following the events of episode 2, Majikaji takes Riko, Reg, and Nanchi to a craftsman who is carving Riko’s White Whistle into a new shape that can utilize its full power. He then shows the trio the rest of the village, which is protected from the curse, but the Hollows that live within it cannot leave. He also explains that the village runs on the trade of “value”. As they further explore the village, one of the Hollows picks up Meinya and plays too roughly with it, injuring Meinya. Riko’s distress at Meinya’s injury causes the village’s defense system to activate, which takes the offending Hollow’s possessions and even some of its organs to compensate Riko for Meinya’s lost value. With her newfound value, Riko uses to rent an inn, but she falls ill due to rotten food. Reg and Nanachi then witness a commotion outside, and Majikaji explains that Faputa, the Princess of Hollows, has appeared outside the village. Realizing Faputa must have been the one to bring Riko’s White Whistle to the village, Reg heads to the village entrance where he encounters Faputa and her robotic companion. In the past, the Ganja encounter a group of robotic beings who welcome them to the sixth layer, until one of them is eaten by a monster. Vueko then darkly realizes that even though they’ve reached the Golden City, they are not out of danger yet.
