Girls' Last Tour

Having watched many anime series, it was nice to see one that is set at a slower pace and deals with smaller issues in a thoughtful way, almost like a parable. In "Girls Last Tour" Civilization had advanced to the point that cities had multiple layers. However, war has destroyed almost all life including plant and animal. Two young girls journey through this desolate land on a WW2 German Kettengrad motorcycle tank driving about 10 miles an hour. The girls, Chito-black hair and Yuuri-blonde hair, explore, play, and try to make sense of things while seeking out food and supplies. Chito is thoughtful, keeps a journal and drives the Kettengrad. Yuuri is illiterate, impulsive, but exuberant. Watching these two living humans among the great but lifeless cities is an enjoyable if melancholy experience. But, if life has got you wound up, this show will help you wind down. Watched on Amazon Prime.

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.

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

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 know it's PG-13 Even When I'm 10 I still like this show and I give that a 10/10 rating
