Journey’s Dawn will open with a very Holywood red carpet event at Regal Cinema at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California on March 15th and then it will screen across hundreds of movie theaters in the U.S. on March 20th and March 25. The red carpet premiere will feature special guests including famed director Masayuki Kojima, composer Kevin Penkin, music producer Hiromitsu Iijima and producer Shimpei Yamashita! You can get tickets for any of these events through Fathom Events.

At almost two hours, Journey’s Dawn is not a quick watch, but it never drags. We quickly become acquainted with our main characters, fall in love with them, and set off on a journey with them. Every minute of Journey’s Dawn is filled with storylines, plot-driving relationships, important conversations, and of course, gorgeous and fantastical settings and character designs.

Though a lot happens in Made in Abyss: Journey’s Dawn, as the first installment, it also sets up the rest of the story and takes us through the beginning of Riko and Reg’s journey. We get to meet all the important characters, find out some interesting facts about their world, and we are plunged into the multiple levels of the Abyss, awestruck by the beauty and heaviness of it all while worrying about our adorable little heroes and whether they will reach their goals and find the answers they seek regarding themselves and the Abyss itself.

We expect nothing but greatness from Kadokawa and Sentai Filmworks so it’s no surprise that they would not only create such an incredible anime series but they were able to somehow make it even better and accessible to those who missed it and don’t have the time for a full binge-watch. At the same time, this gorgeous film is sure to be loved and enjoyed by those familiar with the series as well, and no doubt, when it is available on Blu-ray, it will be quite the collectible item.
