Girls' Last Tour

Emotionally and visually appealing, this show is a great example of how to do a post-apocalyptic tale with children. It brings the charm from another anime that has not long since aired, 'Made In Abyss'. Having an atmosphere of everlasting chaos, it manages to lighten the mood with the innocent discovery of the two young characters as they traverse the old broken world around them. It leaves me feeling sad and happy that these two will not experience some things, yet, they are happy with each other and have fun finding new things. But with new discoveries come consequences. Which is where the series really shines. Having a darker side to an already undertoned tragic story. Really making you feel for the girls and wanting to continue with them on their tour of the land of before. From its large scale of landscapes, it still isolates you with the girls in this empty world. Still having myself engrossed in the experience though. Truly a great anime overall that really couldn't be told any other way. Which is what anime should be about.

This is the kind of post-apocalyptic slife-of-life you will only ever get in anime format. Despite looking like it would be focused on war-themes it just sets the backdrop as it is more concerned with exploring the mysterious world they live in. While they are plenty of elements I despised it was still an enjoyable ride set to a great OST. It's closer to the original Kino's Journey than the remake this season...
