Girls last tour is a post war story about two girls with one main moral "existence is not enough"

I cannot recommend another anime...series...ANYTHING any higher than the masterpiece that is Girls Last Tour.

From the sublime musical score to the rich, complex and haunting visuals, to the mix of desolation, hope and even joy amidst the post-apocalyptic desolation. Just WOW.

People who complain that there is little to no "action" do not understand the concept of Iyashikei anime:

"Iyashikei" is Japanese for "healing", a term used for anime and manga created with the specific purpose of having a healing or soothing effect on the audience. Works of this kind often involve alternative realities.

To be able to so effectively blend the Iyashikei style with a post-apocalyptic theme is simply amazing.

I can think of no other artistic - for this is indeed art - offering that is so essential for the 2020s as Girls Last Tour.

This isn't a show for everybody. There's almost no action, barely any characters and minimal plot. But if you can get into slow paced thoughtful anime or tv shows.....you might fall completely in love with Girls Last Tour. I won't go into the story. If you think you might like this....watch it. Listen to the gorgeous ethereal score. Go on a journey....and then if you want to die through dehydration from crying.....read the manga. Learn how to get along with hopelessness.

The journey this anime takes you in is just stunning, how it views the idea of life, death, happiness, sadness, and many other feelings that will leave you in wonders.

You want something calming and chilling then you've found it.

I'm only a few episodes in, but i'm enjoying it well enough so far. it reminds me somewhat of kino's journey, with its melancholic roaming and light philosophy (light in that it isn't melodramatic and doesn't try too hard). i'm finding it has just the right amount of abstraction and symbolism. mind you, it's a slow burn so far, and i'm pacing it out with other shows. the atmosphere is really enjoyable and soundtrack isn't bad for conveying the isolation and wonder of a post-apocalyptic world. initially i wasn't too fond of the overly cute banter and chibi-ness, but i'm starting to enjoy it, in the way one enjoys watching videos of kittens.
