Made in Abyss Joke Marulk's Everyday to Become 4-Part Miniseries

For this year’s April Fool’s festivities, the makers of Made in Abyss announced that the upcoming film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, would be replaced by the charming slice-of-life story Marulk’s Everyday. While fans can still expect to see Dawn of the Deep Soul in theaters next month, it looks like the Marulk spinoff is still becoming a reality!

The concept, focused on the Blue Whistle Delver Marulk and his apprenticeship to the legendary Ozen, is being turned into a series of four animated theatrical shorts, each of which will play before film over consecutive weeks. During the film’s first week (January 17-23), it will be preceded by the first short, titled „Please.“ A second short will replace it starting January 24, and so on.

A soundtrack for the miniseries will be released on January 17 for 1,500 yen. Plus, theater attendees can pick up a desk calendar with art by Made in Abyss creator Akihito Tsukushi as a first-week screening bonus.
