Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou

Made in Abyss and Shoujo Shuumtasu Ryoukou are both very different in terms of stylization in comparison to modern anime. Made in Abyss may be more fantasy than Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoukou but both are very sci-fi in setting, each show have extremely interesting worlds' and compell the viewer to keep watching to see what happens next. These shows are great adventure stories that also have some very serious moments that can put the viewer on edge. If you've seen one I would recommend the other for a very compelling and interesting world with a solid story line that leaves you asking questions. 

I recommend these two like a nice wine and cheese paring. The two shows mirror many themes while evoking completely different emotions. As such, they compliment each other well. To start, we have Made in Abyss; which starts out as a hopeful tale of would be adventures and wonder. Only when we descend into the deceivingly vibrant pit does the gnawing feeling despair and hopelessness start to set in; our two protagonists in a world which could care less about their survival. The Abyss inflicting danger and peril around every corner, only increasing as they delve further into the depths, with the small hope that they will beat the odds. So after you have finished Made in Abyse and collected a good amount of stress and anxiety, it's time to convert all in into subtle bittersweet depression. Enter, Girl's Last Tour. Likewise, we have two unlikely protagonists in a hostile environment, albeit one much less cheery. We watch these two live a hand to mouth existence in this oppressively bleak and barren wasteland. But despite the hardships they face, the pair exude this general feel-good-ness which makes you hope that they will survive and carry on despite the odds. That hope secretly increasing as they climb each layer of the city in pursuit of whatever may lie at the top, while fully aware of the dangers and difficulties they may face. A journey downward, filled with hope, riddled with despair and pain. Can they make it? A journey upward, bleak and hopeless, yet daring to hope and carry on. Can they make it? read more 

Both series are chibi styled. Both feature strong women character. Both are in somewhat distopian world of futuristic nature with nostaligic or retro-future style (Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is heavily styled after WW2, Made in Abyss styled in late 19th century). Both series have strong dramatic moments with comedy reliefs from time to time. 

It has same art style and is also a story based on adventure , though unique its own way. 

Both involve the main characters surviving in a mysterious place Both have cute character designs with a touch of dark tones Both have beautiful soundtracks and yet amazing op and ed's Both have a great story telling And they have executed pretty well for their themes The difference between the two is Made in Abyss takes place in a fantasy world with more darker theme to it, while Girls Last Tour takes place in a sci-fi world while it is least darker then MiA If you like Made in Abyss, then you would probably like Girls Last Tour 

Both share the chibi-adventure look with a nice touch of mystery sourrounding the world that makes you wonder "what has exactly happened?" A nice attention-grabbing show from the get-go that will get you hooked! 

Made in Abyss and Shoujo are two shows I overlooked because of their animation styles. While it seems childish both of these shows carry mature themes involving survival. While Made in Abyss takes on more of a fantasy theme; Shoujo has a post apocalyptic setting but both shows create the same tense atmosphere.  

Both have similar cute styles. Both are well executed and really get you drawn into their respective universes. Both shows gave me the same vibe and both got me thinking about the little everyday things. Giving me a sort of nostalgic feeling. Highly recommend both of these series.  

While way less provided of violence, gloom, and sense of danger, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou shares with Made In Abyss the setting of the story: two little children exploring a dangerous and unforgiving world, where their survival is at stake. However, SSR is way more relaxed, calm, almost cozy, settled in a post-apocalyptic world without dangerous monster and hunting quest; just two kids driving through the snow and the fallen human civilization. The sense of the amaze derived from how much the world is well-built is pretty much the same in both works, though. 

In both anime two kids set out on an adventure and learn more about the world they live in, the only difference being the setting. Made in Abyss is about an adventure down the abyss in a dark fantasy setting. While Girls' Last Tour is about an adventure upwards a collapsed city in a post apocalyptic setting. 

I'm pretty sure I'm not only speaking for myself when I say that Girls' Last Tour and Made In Abyss are pretty similar. Both Animes are visually appealing, and the Storys also really stands out. Not to mention the cute chibi artstyle they have going on. When I first started Girls Last Tour it gave me the same curiosity as it gave me in Made In Abyss. I wanted to explore this particular world, learn all the backstorys and how all of it came to be. That's why I think you should check out both masterpieces. Believe me, if Made In Abyss was worth your time, you will certainly enjoy Girls Last Tour :) read more 

Both Made in Abyss and Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou are animes that go far out of the norm. They both have dark underlying themes and on the surface, they're both really dark as well. Despite them being of completely different genres, they both share the same kind of theme of journey and in some ways, hope and hopelessness. Their similarity is much more apparent through their themes rather than their genres. 

The shows are very different, however they are extremely good at the exact same things in their own ways. 

The first entry in the Great Potato Trifectia (ending with Hakumei to Mikochi), Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is the quintessential potato anime: Small cast of absurdly cute characters, detailed setting with plenty of exploration and beautiful scenery, combination slice-of-life and adventure elements, great music and OST. SSR focuses somewhat more on slice-of-life elements and is comfier than Made in Abyss. 

These shows are somewhat the inverse of each other; Girls Last Tour is the story of two girls trying to survive their trek to the world's highest point for salvation; Made in Abyss is about two kids trying to survive their trek to the world's lowest point for salvation. Both deal with suffering and loss and generally dark themes, presented in a deceptively cute artistic style. I wholly recommend both of these shows/manga, and particularly if you enjoy one or the other already. 

Aside from the fact that the main characters of each of these shows often experience plights that are by all accounts identical, the lore and themes of which both of these shows encompass are boundless and filled to the brim with awe and wonder. Made in Abyss' strengths lie in its ability to effortlessly showcase the richness and intricacies of its place and setting. Girls' Last Tour, on the other hand, doesn't go out of its way to conspicuously exhibit what it tries to do best, but rather discreetly forms its own placid narrative around the main characters and the world it has within its grasp. Such a subtle difference in world building warrants acknowledgement in keeping with how dissimilar both shows are in their approaches to establishing and consolidating the structural components of their premises. Inversely, however, both of them share a common goal of employing pseudo-philosophical narrative aspects in the likeness of casual conversations between characters, be it major or minor, as well as tenser, more gripping situations where one of them is coerced into spouting meaningless words of seemingly unwavering hope, which only result utter futility. read more 

Two kids exploring a massive world filled with mysteries and secrets for them to unravel. They are often in constant danger or having to search for supplies, but the people they find in the way are usually able to help them. Cute character designs contrast with the reality they live in, especially in Made in Abyss, where some of the situations can get quite cruel and extreme. 

they both have the same vibe, of a journey the main characters will not return from 

If you like cute children in situations they shouldn't be in then you may enjoy this. It's a little more light hearted so bear that in mind. 

Both shows have fantastic world building and sound tracks, and unique settings to back it up.  

Both develop the theme of a post apocalyptic world, however even when Made in Abyss is presented to us as the cruellest story, it is, without a doubt, also the most accessible because Shoujo Shuumatsu invites us a little more to reflection due to its slower pace. 

Both follow pairs of children wandering through a cruel, dangerous and unforgivable world With extremely similar cute moe art styles but dark themes The main difference is that Made in Abyss sometimes has more of a psychological horror vibe, while Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou remains a slice of life all the time  

If you liked the world building of Made in Abyss you'r gonna love Shoujo ryokou or Girl's last tour. It has cute moments but it's a pretty dark show overhaul. The character design are childish like in made in abyss so if you liked that definitely check it out. It is an incredible anime with a lot of philosophy in it but it's never overwhelming. 

Girls Last Tour featured a prominently mysterious and infinite world, a world where adventure awaits at every turn, with unpredictable twists and turns constantly changing and forming the world the characters, and therefore, us, as viewers, know. A similar concept is explored in Made in Abyss, the mysterious development of the Abyss and the setting of the show parallels Girl's Last Tour in that not only are both animes rich in character development, but equally fulfilling in the development and understanding of the setting.  

- Similar art styles - Both have great world building - Both have phenomenal soundtracks - Two character leads for both series - Both are exploration based series - Similar tense/hopeless/relaxing atmospheres - Both have philosophical dialogues at certain points 

Children put in difficult situations, forced to do and see things they shouldn't have to to just survive. 

Out of all the anime, I watch These two are the one that has the most in common while simultaneously gives two completely different stories. The protagonists are both young kids who basically go searching for the truth no matter their health. Without spoiling too much, the world is set up on a level bases exploration while one anime goes up the other goes down. They also have a sombre tone while playing with the view of this in a child-like mater. 

Very similar aesthetic, atmosphere and art style. Both anime have chibi-like characters exploring the unknown in a mysterious world in an attempt to unravel their darkest secrets. Girls' Last Tour tends to get very bleak and is more focused on slice of life elements, whereas Made in Abyss is mostly an adventure-survival type anime. 

The Story Is a bit similar One Is Go Above. And Other Is Go Down. The Difference is That Story. Made in abyss Have Some Dark Story. And shoujo shuumatsu ryokou Is light story with little dark story background In my opinion. 

-Both involve 2 kids diving into the unknown. -Both are about the survival of the main characters. -In both animes the main characters meet people along the way who help them understand what the "unknown" is. -They have a somewhat similar art style. -Made in Abyss has a fantasy-medieval setting, while Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou has a post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi setting. -While Made in Abyss is about going deeper and deeper into the unknown, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is about going higher and higher. -Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is more Slice of Life-ish and laid-back, while Made in Abyss is considerably dark. 

The world building is great in both, not to mention the way the dark themes in contrast the cutesy art style that both of them have.  

if you loved the style of chibi characters in insane looking landscapes from Made in Abyss then you would also probably really enjoy Girls Last Tour, and vice versa. I really enjoyed the art style in both of these shows and I think you will to. The story for each is pretty great too and both are an enjoyable watch. 

Similar: Both shows have a similar art style and character designs that resemble chibi characters in anime. Both shows are mainly about adventure and exploring the unknown world. Both have a feeling of mystery that can sometimes create an unsetting atmosphere. Differences: Made in Abyss is much darker compared to Girls' Last Tour with it's depiction of blood and violence. Made in Abyss also takes place in a fantasy-like setting where Girls' Last Tour is set mainly in deserted cities covered with blankets of snow. Girls' Last Tour is also more casual and light-hearted. Overall: Made in Abyss is the better of the 2 shows in terms of story, but Girls' Last Tour is a solid watch. I recommend them both.  read more 

These shows both scratch the same itch of exploring a fantastical and incredible world full of mystery. Both Girl's Last Tour and Made In Abyss also have some sort of ascension/descension based exploration where the world gets more complicated as you progress. The art style of the characters in both these shows are also pretty similar. Personally I think that both these shows are grate and if you liked Made In Abyss theres a pretty good chance you will like Girl's Last Tour.  

they're not particularly similar, however, the characters in both series ventures through unknown places and discovers various things, both having a good world-building, the other is a dangerous world while the other is a calm and relaxing world. 

Girl's last tour is Made in abyss without lovecraftian monsters. Both a favorite of mine. 

Both are episodic anime of two characters travelling together and experiencing situations where they learn more about the world and themselves. It's very likely Girl's Last Tour drew inspiration from Kino no Tabi. 

Very similar anime, lone girls (Girls' Last Tour featuring two girls, Kino no Tabi featuring one), on an adventure through a desolate world with a motorcycle (or motorcycle-like vehicle). In Kino no Tabi the vehicle is sentient and also a character, in Girls' Last Tour it's simply a means of transportation. Both anime though feature very similar set-ups, atmosphere, themes, and storytelling. If you enjoyed one, then the other is a must watch as it's more of the same yet both shows are completely unique in their own right. 

Both are philosophical episodic shows surrounding events of travel through different areas. Each with their own story, Kino and Girls Last Tour resonate in a way. One is post-apocalyptic and another is through stories of different countries. However, both are able to give off a lesson on life through deep conversations and vivid imagery. 

Both are quiet and atmospheric shows which are episodic in nature and feature a young female character (two young female characters in the case of Girls' Last Tour) traveling to different places. They also share a dark and unsettling tone, a slow pace and feature philosophical ruminations. 

Slices of life in an abnormal setting. You'll appreciate the world-building of both. More atmospheric than plot driven. 

They air the same season.(the sequel does) They have similar climat. They're both about cute girls(and motorrad/kettenkrad) and their banter. They're both mono aware to some extent. They're both in an untypical setting. (post apocalyptic one in SSR, and kino one in kino) They seem cute but are 'dark and deep'(at least to some people). They have interesting world building (layers/countries). They both can be very depressing at times.  

There are a lot of people comparing "Girls world tour" to "Made in Abyss". Tbh I couldn't disagree more. "Girls world tour" might contain happy, positive characters who are surrounded in a dark, tense world, but thats as far as the comparison goes. I personally feel it is far more related to a show like Kinos beautiful world. A pretty young girl with a dark past, numbing her to emotion and forcing her to be cold to the people she comes across while she explores her world. Kino tries to avoid effecting the countries she visits. Prefering to just watch and examine, helping those who directly need her but without going out of her way. The story is about her as she travels the world in a very similar way to "Girls world tour" does. Both have very dark, atmospheric environments with slow, light ambient music. Most of both shows are fairly episodic, only really being linear in how the characters develop as we learn more about them.  read more 

Both are quiet yet unsettling series that take place in alternate worlds that represent both the worst and (occasionally) the better things about humanity. Both shows are about travel through landscapes and situations that are distressing but also fascinating. 

Both shows feature two main characters wandering around -In case of Kino traveling and visiting various cities with distinct cultures. -In case of GLT surviving in the empty world after most of humanity's vanished. Both shows have a very dense atmosphere (GLT being more Iyashikei-y) Both shows have something to say. -In case of Kino, individual episodes often present what is author's views on human nature -In case of GLT, the main characters discuss topics ranging from edibility of various things to, fe, what "god" means, but in overall cute manner. Kino is overall way darker, while GLT mostly just feels good despite the apocalypse thing. 

Even though the circumstances of the journeys portrayed or the setting of both of these shows are different, you can't help but feel relaxed while watching them.  

Both animes share many similarities with each other. Both are episodic, thought-provoking, and have dual protagonists who travel. They can also both get very philosophical, which gives the same overall feel. 

Two good friends travel to various places in an attempt to better understand the world around them. 

Two buddies travel a lonely world in melancholy, exploring and discovering fascinating places and people. 

The main characters travel through an empty world, finding new people and hearing their stories or helping them on some situation. 

Both are philosophical, episodical stories about travelers exploring their worlds with about two or three stories an episode. Both feel like collections of ideas woven into a grand tapestry of thought. Both are easily masterpieces. 

- similar main characters (tweens/teens with motorbikes) - episodic storytelling - focuses on traveling and what it means to the main characters - short but very impactful series - talks a lot about philosophy in an interesting way 

If you like exploring dark or post-apocalyptic settings, maybe with a girl MC as well, than I can't recommend these two shows enough. Both shows have this unique, somber vibe, mixed in with some really interesting philosophical ideas and dilemmas. Also, prepare to be depressed after watching either of these. 

Both animes share near identical theming and style, both being in a sort of broken down Slice-of-Life genre, but instead focusing less on the main characters than normal despite being the focus of the show. To put simply, both shows focus on what the characters experience rather than the characters, through discovery and exploration. 

Both are episodic SOLs in which young characters travel on bikes through a bleak world. Their journeys seem pointless at first, but the viewer soon realizes that it actually helps them to understand the world better. There are many philosophical reflections, be it on human nature in Kino's Journey or on the meaning of life (or lack thereof) in GLT. Each episode is divided into short stories, each one exploring a different theme. Despite both stories being somewhat dark, they are relaxing.  

slow paced anime where 2 characters travel around the world and shit. 

-similar atmosphere -something awful happened in the past -girls interactions are lighthearted and fun but also meaningful -something to learn -military slice of life with sci-fi vibes 

Yep, these two are pretty similar in tone. Cute girls in a war-torn world. SoRa is a bit more upbeat, but if you enjoy one it's likely you'll enjoy the other. 

You need to see this anime, man! really! you're going to like it, I'm reading this manga like one and a half years ago! I fell in love with story! and White Fox cared for this anime... You can feel the love and the nostalgia, as well as the seinen in this precious and at the same time reflective trip The Inori Minase voice for Chii-chan, this enchants, like the music that reminds you a little to the "New Age" style by ENYA... is awesome. Even if it's the last one trip around this alone world, the last work of art of the Mankind... isn't imply that this trip is the saddest. For me The Best Seinen in this Fall Season 2017.  read more 

-Cute girls -Doing cute things -But the world already ended -It's still super comfy though -Strong character interactions -Great soundtrack  

CGDCT slice of life with female soldiers in a melancholy but sometimes heartwarming world. 

These shows are set in what I like to call the "future past", a world where something (war, in both cases) has caused cultural or technological regression.  

Without spoiling too much, both have a very similar world setting and atmosphere. Characters interact with one another very similarly, and both achieve a level of artistic "serious" slice of life. 

In a world where the "near third impact" have happened (?) our female protagonists try to live a better life stronging their bonds with each other. In Sora No Wo To there are more people though. 

Military girls that are in a post apocalyptic setting where they are hanging onto the beauty of what the world once was.  

Somewhat similar plots, and Post Apocalyptic genre. These animes tell the stories of a group of girls trying to survive everyday in adverse conditions. The bond between the girls is what gives them the strength to continue to survive and to look forward for the next day.  

- Both shows are set in a post apocalyptic setting where cute schoolgirls are the only people left in the world and have to survive through horrible times. - In both shows they are oblivious to their situation in a manner to try and cope which also gives abit of comical relief. - Where Gakkougurashi is more of a tearjerker that is about comming to terms with reality and loss of loved ones, Shoujo is more of a mystery show in general. They are still very similar in overall theme though. 

Both are moe post-apocalyptic anime with characters mostly composed of girls as they try to survive the aftermath of a catastrophic event that lead to the annihilation of almost the entirety of mankind's population.  

Cute girls doing cute things being thrown in a post- apocalyptic setting, trying to survive and living life to its fullest! Like seeing cute girls suffer? Do you crave for more apocalypses and/or a fanatic of such thing, plus moe blobs? Than look no further, my friend! If you've watched Gakkou Gurashi, but was hoping for more exploration and world-building than Girls Last Tour will surely satisfy you. However if you are currently watching Girls Last Tour, but wanted some tension and drama? Than Gakkou Gurashi is definitely what you're looking for.  

Similar overall feel. Both shows are about cute girls passing time in a peaceful apocalypse. While this is a lot less dark, for me, this is EXACTLY what I was craving after Gakkou Gurashi. 

Both shows look like "Cute girls doing cute things" at first, but they're actually a lot more complex than what the genre usually has. Both of them have a unique atmosphere, that's also different from each other. And they also have some emotional last episodes. Girls Last Tour is a lot slower and feels more isolated, due to the two girls being the only characters in this wasteland, rarely coming across someone else. It discusses many themes of giving yourself up to despair, why people waste ressources on creating weapons to fight each other among others. There isn't much drama in many episodes, which helps in creating it's empty atmosphere. And small things like rain become fascinating in that progress. School-Live is a lot more horror related, being in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, though it also has a lot more cute girl things. Those do help in both relaxing the atmosphere after some of the more intense and scarier moments, but they also help keeping it up, as you always feel like these girls could be overrun any second now. And it definitely has a lot more emotional and tear jerker episodes. read more 

Aside from their similar genres, these two animes also have a similar atmosphere to them. The only main difference is Gakkougurashi being edgier with a more active threat as opposed to Girls Last Tour only having passive threats standing in the way of the protagonists. They both ask the question of what it truly means to "live" in the face of a post-apocalyptic world and show how their respective protagonists answer that question. 

Girl's Last Tour is comfy the same way Yuru Camp is (for me at least), cute characters, comfyness...im not an anime expert, but if you liked Yuru Camp you shoud check Shoujo Shuumatsu 

Both feature female protagonists traveling around and discovering beautiful sceneries. Both fall under the slice of life and comedy category genres and both stand out from their other shows in the same genera. If you enjoyed one, your sure to enjoy the other. 

Both are anime that calm you down after a long day of hard work. While Yuru Camp is more comfy, Girl's Last Tour is more philosophical. 

Very reflective shows about girls travelling together and getting to know their worlds. They are filled with comfy moments, that make for very relaxing and laid-back experiences, where the main characters, Chito and Shimarin, have similar personalities and end up serving a similar role. The cast for Yuru Camp is larger, focusing a lot more on different character interactions, while Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoukou only has two main characters, but along with some people that they meet along the way. 

-Main characters are a quiet, smart girl and a loud, airheaded girl. -Both are about traveling and exploring new places, but while Yuru Camp takes place in a completely normal setting, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou takes place in a post-apocalyptic, Sci-Fi world. -Both shows are very laid-back and chill to watch. -Both can be solely about food at times. 

Despite taking place in very different circumstances (Girl's Last Tour is post-apocalyptic, while Yuru Camp takes place in modern-day Japan), the two series take a very similar approach in portraying the characters' experiences. Even small and seemingly mundane moments feel meaningful when viewed through the eyes of the girls simply experiencing life in their own ways. The characters are cute and play off each other in similar ways, and the sceneries they discover are as beautiful to us as it is to them. And while the soundtracks of both series differ in tone, they accentuate their respective settings perfectly and give the same cathartic feeling. These series are both cozy, comfy, and warm, albeit with a touch more melancholy in Girl's Last Tour, but with no less wonder in either of them. read more 

Small groups of people travelling a desolate and destroyed world nearly entirely devoid of any life. They both feature very dark imagery and themes, but laced with cutesy characters that contrast with these themes wonderfully. The worlds themselves are treated as characters here, and are a treat to explore. Bundle that with superb music and memorable character building and you've got two of the finest post-apocalyptic stories out there. Just be aware of Kemurikusas occasionally lackluster animation.  

A bunch of girls moving slowly through a lifeless and dark post apocalypse trying to unravel its mysteries. Less philosophic and more super natural but the same feel. 

To me, this anime has a similar feel as Girls' Last Tour. Both exploring a post apocalyptic world. They experiment with what they find, but for the most part, they are so focused on surviving that they don't wonder too much about the world around them. Girls' Last Tour had better art and a bigger budget. I thought the characters were better too. It was also was a slice of life. Kemurikusa has a lot more action and danger. The story is more simple too. Idk how to explain it. 

girls on a road trip through post apocalyptic wasteland. both play on contrast between cutesy chara designs and melancholical setting. 

both were set in some post apocalyptic future where mankind has disappeared from the face of the earth and all whats left were a few pockets of people whom were searching for purpose in life, However in Kemurikusa the only living thing alive were a bunch of Red Headed anthropomorphic plants whom were fighting for survival, while in Shoujo Shuumatsu the only two girls were just roaming around as if they're still on a mission even when the war is over and the society structure as long collapsed.  

Both take place in a post apocalyptic world. Both casts are mostly female characters as they travel from place to place. 

Both series are atmospheric in nature, relying on tasteful grande soundtracks. Both series express a lot with choice colour palets, both have a mystique about them. Haibane Renmei features a community of characters but it's focused on self reliance and the isolation that in the end comes with constant inner struggle and vacant threats in the surrounding world. Both series deals with death and religion/spirituality in some way, in both knowledge is acquired through books. Both series build sympathetic characters with individual goals and aspirations despite limits put on their existence. 

Both series potentially deal with the afterlife. Both series have a laid-back but melancholy feel to them and a slow, slice-of-life pacing. Both series are about calm, peaceful human interaction in an otherwise unsettling and ambiguous world.  

These two shows rich in melancholy, yet an immense comfortability is to be found. Getting along with despair and accepting life in the enigmatic worlds the characters inhabit. The pair are slice of life "CGDST" (of course that stands for "cute girls doing sad things"). 

Both have a bit of a somber mysterious setting where the background is not totally explained. The characters explore the world and must make their own conclusions about purpose and existence 

Both do not basically explain anything in the world and are much more in the daily life of the characters and their relationships and every once in a while there is something more reflective like Haibane ep 5 and Shoujo Shuumatsu ep 9. I think Shoujo Shuuumatsu is better than Haibane. 

same feeling, melancholic - mystery. hope in a hopeless world  

Peaceful, calm, contemplative, melancholic, poetic and even philosophic. Same mood, great ost. Girl's last tour is maybe a little cuter but if you enjoyed Mushishi you can only appreciate Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko, they convey the same feelings.  

Both of these series have managed to show us how minimalism can be beautiful. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou did this perfectly, proving that you don't need a fancy world and loads of action to make a story enjoyable. Mushishi has the same calm vibe, focusing on one character, wandering and travelling. 

Although the atmosphere can vary a lot, the two series share a lot in common. From the technical section, the animation and the soundtrack of both series is sublime. They are worth it simply because they are so beautiful. Whether it's a lush forest or abandoned ruins, it transmits a calm and very relaxing serenity. And their music adapts wonderfully to their situations. And with respect to their argument, both series, although they have relative continuity in their episodes (especially Girls Last Tour), are rather a collection of oneshots. Exploring new situations and events in each chapter. But what I like most about both of them and what makes one remind me of the other is how they portray the loneliness of the trip and how it affects its characters in different ways. But at the same time, not sharing the same conditions for their characters, makes them very different series so one series does not step on the other. My most sincere opinion is that both complement each other wonderfully. read more 

Both shows are slice-of-live, with an element you don´t normally see in slice-of-life shows. They both have interesting world-building. Mushishi has these weird spirits which cause events that we would describe as supernatural. Shoujo S R takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. While both shows give you that feeling of calm and relaxed sense of pacing (which you often find in slice-of-live) you also have that sense of mystery, as you discover what world the characters are actually living in, which is normally not found in slice-of-live. Both shows give you the time to learn, and know about, the characters in a way that feels slice-of-live-ish, while still giving you feelings and experiences that you normally would not expect from a slice-of-life show. This unusual combination is executed really well in both shows and they are both highly recommended  read more 

Though these shows are near polar opposite aesthetically, they have a lot in common thematically. Both shows are introspective, reflective and in many ways satirical. Both offer a distant perspective of humanity's successes and failings through post-apocalyptic setting. Both shows are light-hearted on the surface, but neither is without its darker undertones.  

Both shows take place after the decline of civilization and touch on some deep, somewhat dark themes in a light-hearted manner. 

These thought-provoking shows both offer a post apocalyptic world to explore, gradually answering your questions and constantly making you ask more. Making full use of their premises, the level of detail and variety in the worlds of Humanity has Declined and Girls' Last Tour is as impressive as their characters' philosophical explorations. 

Both anime are set in a post-apocalyptic world and have moe girl(s) as protagonists. In both those girls actually do cutre things at face value. Both have thought provoking dialogs and arcs dealing with humanity, human society, and reasons for why they declined. Both are very serious at heart and light at the presentation. Both have quite sarcastic and snarky commentary by one of the girls. In a nutshell, both have a very similar mood and message, despite different presentation choices. The main differences is that Jinru wa Suitai leans towards subversive comedy, while Shoujo Shuumatsu is more melancholic. This is reflected in the color schemes and background art as well. One has pastel tones and lush nature, the other faded out colors and deserted city landscape. Shoujo Shuumatsu is the slightly better anime, but it's pretty close. read more 

Built on a backbone of an apocalyptic world and slow pacing, both of these series focus on the nature and purpose of being, and what it is to be alive when everything is dying or dead. Casshern is a bit more action and story focused, while SSR is more episodic, but each takes its own methodical look at the world through symbolism and background imagery, as well as poignant character interaction.  

Both shows are dark, philosophical, and set at the end of the world. The main characters of both shows meet different people along the way and learn their stories. Casshern Sins is more dramatic and has action, and it doesn't have cute character designs like Girls' Last Tour. However, the atmospheres of the two shows are similar. 

They both have the same feel although Casshern Sins has some action. both have nearly tye same setting with Casshern Sins is a little more post apocalyptic and has more survivors then girls last tour. overall if your looking for a show with the same setting, pacing and overall feeling of Girls Last Tour then i would watch Casshern Sins. 

Casshern and Girls Last Tour are about the same emotion, dignity in the face of the inevitable end. The former is an arthouse edition based on the mecha genre, the latter the moe edition based in the CGDCT genre. The mono no aware is equally strong in both. 

Both are ultimately very contemplative narratives involving travelers exploring unique landscapes and artifacts, and in each one is left with more questions than answers.  

Both of these shows are similar in format. They focus on a girl or girls traveling around an unknown land and discovering new things around them. They both have episodic themes where they both explore a different philosophical concept, and give the viewer room to think versus having that view forced upon you. Girls Last Tour is a little more general and existential with its philosophy and lighter with its tone, and Kino's Journey focuses more on political philosophy and can be quite violent at times. 

First of all, the setting of these anime are very similar as it follows young protagonist in their travel in their respective world. The anime itself also has a very similar vibe as it gives a darker impression and doesn’t shy from showing that the world and life itself can be sinister and not perfect. Despite this, the protagonist in both stories see their world in a more optimist tone giving a message of hope in a unique way.  

Two adventure-genre shows with girls journeying in a post-apocalyptic world to get somewhere. Both worlds are but a husk of their former shells after change happened and aside from adventure, there is mystery and a bit of suspense as well in what lies ahead. 

Exploring an altered landscape, journeying to an uncertain end - the themes in Shuumatsu Train already remind me of Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (Girls Last Tour) even though the show just started airing. There's danger, mystery, the promise of adventure - I have a feeling fans of one show will end up enjoying the other.  

Girls using a vehicle in a post-apocalyptic world, meeting strange people on the way. The world is as much a character as the main cast. 

Two moe-blob girls live their lives together in a well-built, lived-in fantasy world. Each episode is split into 2+ parts, each featuring different events from their daily lives. Both have relaxing atmospheres, adorable character designs, and beautiful OSTs. 

The third entry in the Great Potato Trifectia of 2017-18 (after Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou and Made in Abyss), Hakumei to Mikochi follows a grand tradition of potato anime: A small cast of absurdly cute characters, detailed setting with plenty of exploration and beautiful scenery, combination slice-of-life and adventure elements, great music and OST, and crucially, it's super comfy. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is very comfy, and Hakumei to Mikochi may very well be the comfiest anime ever: grab a blanket & curl up. 

2 girls exploring a strange world  

They are both about 2 girls exploring a strange and rundown world. The feeling of discovering is similar and the ordenary conversations between them are remenicent of each other. 

Both of the shows are fairly slow paced with a focus on comedy and simple contemplative scenes. While Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is a hell of a lot more bleak due to it's post-apocalyptic setting, both shows have a very relaxed and comfy atmosphere with lots of subtle thoughtful moments - in other words they're both part of the Iyashikei genre. Vivid, detailed and expansive backdrops permeate both shows with some scenes being exceptionally beautiful due to their inclusion.  

They are the same thing. I wish I was joking, because I'm half-serious. -Both are SoL with a seemingly very boring gimmick that just works. -Both focus on the daily lives of the main characters -Both get consistently better as they go on (at least for me) It is as if Non Non Biyori and Repeat had a different gimmick that sounds boring, less characters, and much better with only half the episodes. 

Two sad stories of two friends wandering the world to find other humans. 

Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime with some pretty deep meanings and philosophical themes. Both are also slow paced. 

They both feature settings of similar feelings. Houseki no Kuni has a much larger cast and different intentions, but if you enjoy worlds that exist far after the decline of humanity, that's a strong similarity. They're both mysterious and leave a lot of questions unanswered for a long time. If you enjoy one, you'll likely enjoy the other. 

Both stories involve a pair moving through an apocalyptic world, they don't explain the cause of the Apocalypse but instead show how the characters live through it, where they learn and craft their own journey. Blame! differs being a hardcore violent cyberpunk built around the idea of escapism. While Girls' Last Tour is a much gentler iyashikei anime that goes to focus more on the characters interaction with the world as they learn and discover things of the past. Overall, if your looking for a story built from a journey through an apocalyptic world, you will likely enjoy both series. 

fight your way to the top and survive  

Both are iyashikei anime with philosophical undertones and have some social commentary undertones if you analyze them further. They're both adorable as well, so check the other if you want a similar experience. 

Both shows are about exploring a vast and unknown world, meeting different people and having various different experiences, whether for good or bad. Both shows have a similar melancholic feel, but also their wholesome moments. 

Shows set in worlds that have already ended, with characters just kinda walking or trying to figure out what happened. Fate/Extra has a more dense plot, but both feel very slice of lifey 

I can't believe no one has made any similar recommendations for this one. Both shows take place in a post-apocalyptic world that has a reoccurring philosophy theme. These stories tell us what humans left behind and what had become of the world. Both shows give us bittersweet to sad moments that make us think.  

– Both series have a same theme of traveling girls to somewhere. – Both series have a fantastic backgrounds and good animation. 

In a world where all is lost. Where dreams must die. But moving forward. Is still something to continue to do. Both Girls' Last Tour and Cocolors are works set in a post-apocalyptic world where hope is ultimately lost on gaining anything any normal life would have. But the same still applies in that regardless of any kind of situation one is in, even when there is "nothing left", they must move forward. Both anime do pretty well in telling such. With Cocolors being drama more than anything. Girls' Last Tour would best fit iyashikei. Pretty good adventure anime to walk away with.  

Both stories although they are different in their own arguments and plot, are built under the same premise, the extinction, but not the extinction of the Human species, but of Humanity, that concept that makes us different from animals, this term is not emphasized in each part of the story, if you liked Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko, then you will love the apocalyptic contexts and the distorted lines of a story that aims and manages to immerse you in an oniric world 1000 years in the future of humanity and planet Earth. Although SSR is an anime that does not try to answer the question, what happened to the human species, to civilization and humanity itself? Try to contextualize other philosophical concepts of death, consciousness, human connection, friendship , the value and the meaning of life, and sometimes even though we think that everything is lost and that there is no more hope than the end itself, the end always leads to something more, even if this was the last Trip of Humanity, a Girls' Last Tour. Finally I would like to add SSR's music, it is amazing and beautiful, although it does not have a fixed lyrics or a complex lyrics, it is completely penetrating and introspective, it helps to meditate and also invites to reflect the contexts of the different scenarios in which Chii-chan and Yuu-chan advance in their life of survival around the Earth, perhaps as the last representatives of the species and of human civilization. I am sure that you will love Shin Sekai Yori, because you are also worshiped from the perspective of the reflection from which SSR was approached, so do not miss both and although they are series that may have different endings, they always teach us that as Humanity we live in a limited means with limited resources and with other humans around us and that the success of our own existence and preservation goes through everyone and the individual responsibility of each one. read more 

Girl's Last Tour is like Flip Flappers without magical girls and other craziness. Just a beautiful journey of 2 girls through a strange environment. Tour might have less character growth, but it is higher in immersion. (My opinion of FF [8/10] was it would be better without magic girl stuff. Watching GLT was 10/10) 

They are both in the "Comfy Apocalypse" genre - an adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world. However, there isn't a sense that characters are facing a struggle for survival as one would expect of such a world. Instead the protagonists face rather mundane, non-threatening challenges that would be easily solved by modern-day conveniences, which are of course unavailable in a post-apocalyptic world. Both feature two female protagonists that travel in a run-down vehicle. Both involve meeting friendly strangers and helping each other to solve their challenges. A typical episode might consist of a character "inventing" a thing or idea that already exists in the real world that many people take for granted. Thus, it is a journey of discovery for the protagonists and a journey of introspection for the viewer.  read more 

Despite both being set in a post-apocalyptic world, both series' focus more on the comfy SoL style to keep the viewer's attention. Both like to make great moments out of the simplest things and ma Whereas Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou focuses more on the setting and enphasises it's post-apocalyptic world, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou leaves it's setting behind to focus more on it's diverse set of characters. Yokohama also tends to be more psychological than Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou. If you like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou, you will most likely enjoy Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. 

Finding hope and beauty in a dying world - that's the main theme of these two series. In Girls' Last Tour, Chito and Yuuri only have each other, but that's enough to make each day worth living, and in Sunday Without God, Ai embarks on a journey to save the world and helps all her new friends along the way. The world may be ending, but in both series the protagonists have those they care about, and there are still miracles to be found on their journeys. 

Both animes have that nostalgic feeling, they are based on apocalyptic worlds where the MCs try their best to survive and they make memories together throughout the journey. 

Both shows have a sci-fi setting with an existential theme and tone. Even though Kaiba isn't a slice-of-life it still has a Iyashikei tone with healing aspects to it. The contrast between the helplessness of the world, with the hope that the characters have for the future, creates a sad as well as uplifting feeling. Both have a very unique art style and world that I haven't really seen in other anime, or manga. They each create a feeling of melancholy, in their own ways, that is extenuated by the soundtracks and use of colour. Each show are somewhat episodic, as well as use the narrative device distortion of time, to create a subtle yet compelling narrative. read more
