| started watching... this is peaceful and melancholic at the same time. I might follow this 'till the end. |
 |
| I don't like the desings of the characters, yeah, they are cute but does not fit here. The soundrack is great and the animation of outside i love it. Sadly, the comedy is forced and ruin that moment of tension. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| for the gun/ration scene, maybe the girls are traumatized by some tragic event in the past so pointing a gun would not really have scared them at all. maybe it was more like an edgy joke between the two. |
| Oh, my... survival over friendship |
 |
| I really like where this is going... "Cute girls giving thoughtful lines while doing cute things" (Or CGGTLWDCT) The second half alone could have been an interesting short, I hope they continue to deliver scenes like that one Pretty interesting show in summary, totally worth the try. |
| A moe-blob show in a post-apocalyptic setting!!?? Count me the fuck in!!! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| YES! Loved it right from the get-go. It's so cute and the girls' chemistry is already feeling like I've been watching this for a while. The art is so simple (which is a pro) and it's able to distinguish itself because of it. I also really like the contrast between how easygoing and melancholic it is. The atmosphere is just like the snow; light and fluffy at first, but becomes heavier as it builds up. If there's 11 more of these, then count this as my AOTS. |

Tythoid said: Has a 90s feel to it which I like,.. alpha_shadow said: That was surprisingly great. Very atmospheric and well paced. Loved the world and the characters. Music was very fitting as well, this is going to be a great watch. I somehow found the atmosphere to be very Christmassy =) |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| So this is how Metro 2033 looks like with anime girls as protagonists xD Once Hanayo always Hanayo, I mean glutton xD Also Kubo Yurika sounds a bit like Konata from Lucky Star |
"Signature removed"   |
| This looks fantastic! Can't wait for more. |
 |
| In a bleak, empty world where everyone is dead, two moe girls with wide eyes dab their way to a sense of happiness. Chito appears to be the leader of sorts. Yuuri isn't too concerned about anything as long as she can have a nap. Though she's certainly struggling in terms of being hungry, trying to eat her own hand as she fantasizes about soup in her dreams. The little flashbacks/dreams we saw suggest that everyone else didn't die/disappear until very recently. "So good!" Is it? Because that soup looked kinda like motor oil. Maybe I'm spoiled from how anime food usually looks. I guess that when it's all you've got, you'll have to convince yourself motor oil soup is "so good". I'm a little disappointed Yuuri didn't actually try eating the tank. Chito was over there like "Do it. No balls." "War means killing one another, right? Why'd they do that?" Because humans are bad. Except for you two. You two seem too wholesome and good for this world. Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to repopulate it together, so everything's kinda screwed after you two die. "No idea what chocolate is, though..." Okay, now I'm not entirely sure how long the world's been screwed up for. Chito and Yuuri have apparently never been alive during a time in which chocolate was a common treat. "Don't move." Shit, Yuuri, it's not funny in this kind of situation to joke about shooting a bitch over chocolate. Chito seemed legitimately freaked out for a minute. Nothing wrong with eating snow...as long as it's not yellow. Hey, where do these two go to the bathroom? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| That's quite the moeblob fest if you ask me! Pretty interesting setting, really would love to see some backstory about these characters and this world! The pacing was surprisingly great, so really looking forwards to see what's next! |
 |
| -What's the deal with the WWII aesthetic? Does anime/manga have to pander so much to the Wehrmacht otaku these days? I'd prefer an original vehicle design instead of meticulous reproduction of nazi vehicles. |
| Even if she was joking, pointing a gun at her friend was pretty fucked up. |
 |
| Really impressive premier episode. The atmosphere really felt like of a world that is coming to an end. The view from the tank or whatever they were riding was extremely well done. It almost felt like Girls und Panzer but the atmosphere is pretty dope. This is how anime should be done. The first episode got me hooked. 5/5 |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Firstly. INORI MINASE IS ONE OF THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS OH YES!!! Secondly, I really love post-apocalyptic dystopia as a theme so this show should definitely be fun for me. The comedy is fun and cute despite the dreary surroundings, which give me a feeling that all that calm can evaporate in a second, like how we saw Yuu take the last ration at gunpoint. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I'm liking what I see. Amazing atmosphere and setting, and so far two pleasant characters that play off each other well. Surprised how many people misinterpreted the gunpoint seen. It wasn't really a joke so much as a lesson. |
| The long, dark corridor feels so ominous, but man, I appreciate the amount of work put into the background. The rust on the pipes look so natural and damp. The sound effects made me feel immersive. Idk about anyone else here, but the use of black, white and grey is REALLY interesting to me. Most anime are very colorful in order to give life to a scene, but in this, even if almost everything makes up of mostly grey shades, it has a colorful personality. Seems like the girls' uniforms are WWI inspired outfits. I had to look it up myself. They look amazing and adorable!  The way they handle flashbacks is very interesting. The vehicle the drive in, how they cook and eat their food, I'm thoroughly convinced the art theme is inspired by WWI. If I have to summarize what I just witnessed on the first episode thus far, it's like putting Lucky Star characters in post-apocalyptic Japan.  |
   |
| What a cute thing! This episode was really fun, the characters are very cute and the mood of the anime is very good. And this episode ending? It was a surprise! |
| Good story xD, after war earth look like hell. |
| Their vehicle is not a motorbike its a Sd.Kfz._2 a gun tractor. Geez MAL have you never played CoH? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sd.Kfz._2 |
| War is very horrible, nothing good comes from it.. Why there's no other people? and why no dead bodies? |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| For some reasons, song that played at the end of this EP reminds me Enya... What is it, by the way? :C |

| So Yuuri, the blonde haired girl, essentially robbed Chito, the black haired girl, over the last of the rations, in the guise of a soft-hearted albeit greedy half-joke. Yuuri could have split the last bar between the two, but instead opted to being selfish, which shows her true nature, not even considering that _both_ girls could split the last bar. |
| Elapsam semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere (Not even Jupiter can find a lost opportunity) |
| I really like this! The music really blends with the op and ed scenes. The two girls look really cute. One of my friends recommended this and just told me to watch this without further explanation but I'm so intrigued uwu. Do I need to prepare a box of tissues? |

| It looks promising. Hope to see more warish stuff. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| The beginning of the episode really is a mystery, what place would have so many pipes with water and a big fan for airflow. And those staircases, ramps, and suspended bridges. From a physic perspective, the animation of their vehicle reacting with the steps of the staircase is on point. I was expecting Chito to test the wind direction herself before trusting Yuuri. It turns out the way they expected... could have added something there. I knew there's a betrayal (thanks random Facebook picture), but didn't expect it to happens so soon. _kukiyomenai said: I really like this! The music really blends with the op and ed scenes. The OST is really great, I was listening it prior to watching the series. To be honest, it's because of the OST I decided to watch the series. |

| At first I was a bit afraid this show wouldn't live up to the hype, but actually it looks like it does. Those little girls are adorable, I'm claiming them as my daughters. No really, they are such endearing characters. I really like this concept of two kids in a dark and tough environment, it gives a certain level of innocence and purety while also adding some poetry that makes it different from your typical cute SOL. I love the music used for the credits. It also gives me some Made in Abyss as expect, both from the contrast kids/dark world and also the personalities of the mcs that remind me a bit of Nanachi and Riko. There also seems to be a very dark backstory... Actually everything feels like a post-apocalyptic world. This atmosphere also reminds me of Casshern Sins, Tenshi no Tamago and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou... I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to see more of our heroines' adventures. |

| Pretty good so far, the synopsis piqued my interest. The world-building tho is very good. The girls are cute interacting with each other and like they said War is really bad. |
 |
| 'twas a fine episode. Really good setting and presentation of it. The two don't even know what chocolate is, the effects of war are harsh. |
| A light at the end of the tunnel? The SUPER SLOW reveal?? Yeah it's definitely too good to be true, they're gonna die. And then you realize, oh they actually made it out. Wasn't expecting that; that felt, good. They're definitely going to be up against some major obstacles later, but for now, just finding their way out, is just nice man. It's just a personal thing that I do that I reserve my 10/10 rating for only ONE anime, the anime I think is just the best that I've ever seen. Promare is sitting there right now for me, but if this anime can keep this up, girls last tour just might dethrone it and take the 10 for me. I want to know more of this world, this story, what happened. Only few anime can suck you in so easily. Idk about you, but I'm all aboard this ride. |

| I got made in abyss vibes from this.. I'm well aware that this is a iyashikei, so I'm hoping this isn't gonna be traumatizing. I still can't help but get those vibes... Pretty good episode. It felt healing and dark in a way. |
 |
| Well, the criticism I could give out here is that the gun aiming would be better at the scene where they'd melt the snow for drink, decorated with the heaving light of fire. Surviving 101: Melt snow before digesting. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| 2/5. the characters were annoying and it felt like the longest 20 minutes of my fucking life |

Pretty good episode. It felt healing and dark in a way. Glad I'm not the only one feeling that, the subtle eerie soundtrack at parts, void world, and that one flashback are setting this one up for some more traumatizing vibes and I'm here for it lol |
 |
| That was a pretty slow episode |
| Loved it :) felt like I was in another world for a while, the tone and atmosphere was relaxing - soothing.. ending theme was also out of this world.. |
| For such a setting, it's a really cute good episode so far. The main characters are really charming with their mannerisms and it's pretty low-key entertainment. I feel that their interactions and reactions to things have been very genuine so far. Seeing the night sky made me as happy behind the screen as they were. It's nice to have no imminent threat or antagonist once in a while. The last scene also, while merry-looking, was a bit depressing too. The show seems to live on this contradiction of interpretations and seems so far to succeed with it. |
| I found this anime by going to the profile of a hater of almost everything on MyAnimeList and seeing that it had a 10 on his list. I really liked it, it's not what I expected, but maybe it's something better. |

 I really love visual storytelling, but I don't see it too often in anime. It might be due to its close relation to manga, novels and visual novels where translations into anime causes heavy dialogue to also get carried over. It's understandable for print and text-based mediums to have a lot of dialogue, as they don't have the luxury of animation to convey motion and movement. They're limited to static images and the readers' imaginations to fill in the gaps. Animation doesn't have that limitation, but in trying to capture a source's material, they still tend to have an abundance of talking scenes with static backgrounds and characters. Though, this is also a carry over from money-saving techniques, but that still doesn't completely excuse the lack of having visuals speak for themselves. It's really strange too, as I'd always imagine anime, as a derivative of Japanese art (however varied that relationship may be at any given instance), to have greater emphases on the intake of visual information with limited words. It's to look upon a scene and understand what is going on without being told, especially in the sense of the subdued and simplistic. I may be watching the wrong shows, but it's been a while since I've seen an anime with long atmospheric scenes with little to no information dumping. To compare similarly cute-yet-dramatic shows, Made in Abyss had this at times, where their dungeon crawling escapades led the main characters to truly sublime and expansive locations, though its plot crept up and overtook the show I felt. Kemono Friends was another show I've watched that did the silent scenes as well, particularly with scenes where the characters were simply exploring their world. Now, Girls' Last Tour is doing it too. There might be a pattern here, where cute characters create the framework for viewers to experience unknown worlds. It feels kind of cheap, as it relies on the main characters' charisma rather than the visual splendor of their worlds, but it at least gives interesting characters to react to what's around them. These shows aren't like Kino's Journey or Mushishi, for example, that focus more on people, where they live, and how they live. Instead, Girls' Last Tour focus on places where people either once lived, or have never touched. Perhaps with less characters, there are also less opportunities to strike conversations, leaving more screen time for the world. With Girls' Last Tour, immediately upon the opening scene, we start to see a bleak world, but without actually being shown what that world is. For a moment, I thought I accidentally put on an episode of Texhnolyze, but the cute girls doing cute things confirmed that no mistake was made. I'm kind of cautious about shows using cute girls in serious contexts, as the contrast belittles the seriousness at hand. Or, at the very least, it tries to appeal to lovers of this particular aesthetic. It at least makes such shows more approachable, as they'd probably be super serious gridmark shows otherwise, but it can feel halfhearted in a sense. Why have a bleak show if you're going to have cute characters make the bleakness bearable? I suppose the contrast could be used in an ironic or unsettling sense, but seldom have I seen that done effectively. Going into the episode itself, we start to see the technology of the world, where it's capable of having city-sized factories and all-terrain vehicles, but not advanced enough for any modern-day conveniences, much less anything futuristic relative to our present time. When Chito and Yuuri exit the factory, they're blinded by the light of the night sky. As a note, I think that's the first time I've ever used that statement, which is testament to how interestingly written the show is. In the world of Girls' Last Tour, the night sky is somehow bright and welcoming, rather than dark and ominous. It could be the connection to nature, even if said nature is dark, cold, and populated by the ruins of past societies. Comparatively, this speaks to just how terrible the girls' trek was through the factory. In the second half, we get more tomfoolery between the girls, but I like how it's just them playing around. This is apparently a world destroyed by a past war, and while the lament and criticize humanity's past actions, they don't particularly dwell on it. There's still a use for weapons, but Chito makes the necessity seem not too pressing, or at least until Yuuri corrected her with great earnest. Luxuries we take for granted, such as chocolate, seem to be relics of the past, and military rations come across as delectables. Heck, snow served as snack, demonstrating how wrecked the world had gotten. The show takes an approach I've seen in some other post-apocalyptic titles, where the characters look upon civilization in hindsight, as enough time has passed to where those civilizations could be considered historic. However, Girls' Last Tour also takes a playful, sentimental approach to post-apocalypse, where it's seen as a a distant memory-turned empty playground. Girls' Last Tour has yet to do anything particularly breathtaking or surprising, but such melancholic takes on a future's past are rare enough that I still enjoy them whenever they pop up. As such, I'm most definitely looking forward to how this show turns out. Oh, and also, I'm liking the OST as well. Had to point that out given how subtle it was at times. |

| Just hearing inorin as a va is perfection. But this is just a chill atmosphere of desolation. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| That was creepy and surreal, and depressing. I tried to read the manga, but it was too dark and dreary. Maybe I can make it through the anime. The music helps. I think the music is strangely light and soothing. |
