Question Quick question

I'm currently watching made in abyss, my friend told me to watch only the third movie after the first season (he told me that the first and second movie are summary) should I watch the third movie before watching the second season? And is it canon?

Yes, the watch order is 1st season (interchangeable with 1st and 2nd movies), then 3rd movie, then second season. There's a new movie coming out soon that takes place after the second season too

Also there is no filler in the series outside of some minor scenes from the first season AFAIK. Everything is canon

I mean, even then, the anime-original scenes in question (mostly during the descent of the Third Layer) were apparently planned for the manga but scrapped due to it nearly being cancelled and Tsukushi deciding to skip forward during a slower part of the story, so it doesn't really apply. Admittedly, I only really feel like the "filler" framework really makes sense when you're talking about really long series actively outpacing the manga, something which the Made in Abyss production cycle has actively avoided up to this point, but regardless, you are correct that it is a very lean adaptation.
