Good first ep, but I'm hoping this would become more interesting in the next eps.

Just finished watching this.

I'm a bit torn on what we've seen so far. The artwork is gorgeous and the viewer gets a real sense of how vast the abandoned city is from some of the shots. On the other hand, so far the characters feel fairly generic and predictable— I felt like I had seen these same three girls many times before, and that's not a good thing. It was also a little plodding, but I did like how they were attacked by a wolf towards the end, changing up the pace considerably.

3/5 for now, I'm interested in seeing where they take it with the next few episodes.

This anime's got the same character outline as SnK which is neat I suppose. Kinda cool first episode, it reminds me of Chernobyl and a little bit of Fallout.

I'm digging the art style and the story sounds interesting. Plus, the opening (ending in this episode) is pure sex.

I found the first episode really bad.
Just didn't make any sense at all.
One of the worse things was that the real main character uses the medication on people that can't be healed anymore and the medicine would only prolong their life for a little bit. That's like one of the most selfish things you could do.
"Hey, this medicine is totally limited, let's use it on people that would die soon anyway to make em live like 2 days longer instead of using it on a person with few symptoms and completely cure them" and then of course get mad at Mishima for no reason because he's actually making sense. What?
Other than that I have no complaints about main character. The other 2 though .....
First time ever Hanazawa Kana annoyed me :l.
Hope they pull a Muv Luv Alternative.

lol Each of those girls are suppose to be a multi million dollar investment by the government yet they are so incompetent and badly equipped for the job. WTF?

She is genetically engineered, most likely received training and this is the fucking task she was created for. Not to mention that this radiation area will feature a few more corpses.

If they really send the girls into this without proper training/qualifications then it means that either the plot is dumb, the characters are unrealistic or the writers are idiots.


Seriously. These girls are literally born and bred their entire life for this task. They should be making Navy SEALS look like little children instead of prancing around like, well schoolgirls. :3

Love the artstyle and ED. Other than that story is interesting, although there is not much sense in genetically modified girl (which I assume cost quite a bit) to go rescue people... with highschool uniform and minimum equipment haha. I liked it nonetheless.

Damn, those tranquilizer sure pack a punch.

so far it seems intresting, just doesnt make since why these hos arnt equipped with more weapons,

also the background is a hella lot more detailed then the actual characters???????? ok
i really like the ending song

Im honestly annoyed such a fantastic premise was ruined by such shit characters and writing.

I would have loved to see a show about a few young adults (not high school girls) venturing into a radioactive, abandon ghost town, that focuses on realistic survival and exploration. Kinda like how Space Brothers is actually about realistic space training and exploration (from the little bit that I've seen)

Instead we get this needlessly angsty, terribly written, and utterly boring show about who the hell knows what.

And why did they leave the girl with the dog? Did they really expect it to take more than 5 or so minutes for her to get it to stay?

ugh. So much dissappoint

If you were to genetically engineer a group of young girls to search for the last remains of humanity in a heavily contaminated mess why in the world would you make one of them like Aoi, who is completely afraid of even a little blood and constantly is nothing but a nuisance who complains and bickers constantly during the mission?
Who says they can genetically engineer their personalities? They can't even make suits strong enough to roam around for a long time. This is only 20 years in the future. The only difference between them and a human is probably just the immunity to radiation. A better question would be why don't they just use robots?


Are you serious? They said the one left behind liked animals because "it was written in her DNA".

While personalities aren't only dependent on genes or environment, they are able to both modify the genes and train the girls accordingly. So both genes and environment variables are in their control.

Fascinating first episode, the whole talk of the epicenter reminded me of Darker than Black. The art is very intriguing. Definitely different from what I'm used to, but also feels like a step up in some regards as well. That moment when Aoi said "people don't belong here" and it got cloudy, symbolizing her doubts to the moment it became sunny again when they decided to go save the other girl. It's very interesting to say the least.

If I completely believe what I saw in the ED visuals, Taeko is still alive and so is that dog. If that's really the case, then whose blood is that on the walkie-talkie?

Similar animation to K but this one as a little bit too much of heavy black bordering. I don't know what to say the story feel kind off heavy but not much development in the first episode ( like K XD) seem promising thought.

nothing really grabbed me tbh, the art was nice enough having watched K i can obviously see the similarities, the only thing i am predicting is that we seem to have the dominant leader girl, and the other two seem really weak as characters, i just hope they get involved and are of some use rather than just sitting there watching like they did in this first episode.....

will continue though as the synopsis was what attracted me to watching this anime before it aired, while some get tired of the whole post-apocalyptic thing, I have a soft spot for stuff like this so will carry on and see where they go with the story, some elements have intrigued me

Quite an interesting episode. At times it felt slightly too slow but lets see how it goes. It certainly has an intriguing start and good production values.

The artwork reminds me of K which isn't very surprising. I have read the manga before so I was curious to see how this will go.


Personally it reminded me more of Mardock Scramble and that definitely isn't a bad thing..

Good start. I like the animation. It unique. I don't think I saw another show that looks like this. Maybe AoT. Does the people who do't need hazmat suits really need to be schoolgirls? Really? Oh well. I like the ED. It's nice. Let's see where this goes.

Cool start, was a bit sceptical due to the rather low score,but the premise got me interested enough to give it a shot.

Err...though I dont want to question the logic but..

how can humans survive for 20 years in a town full of radiation? Not even the best suit can stay longer than limited..

It will make more sense for Coppelion to examine the town and shut down the radiation completely as their prime goal.

I'm not really used to with thick lines so this will be new for me. I kind of think that the pacing is quite fast and the characters's actions might be a bit excessive. This has a low score but judging the summary and the first episode. It may not be too bad at all. Let's see what will happen.

Watching this around the time of the coronavirus pandemic. Three anti-maskers on a mission to... nevermind.

We've got Ibara the cool one, Owie the whiny one, and Dog Food the one who went to talk to a wolf or something.

I'm not anti-schoolgirl uniform, but why aren't these chicks wearing boots and cargo pants / shorts? I mean, better footwear and more pockets seem like a good idea for rescuers / scouts. Maybe if Owie had some appropriate shoes for the occasion, then she'd whine a little bit less.
