Amid the desolate remains of a once-thriving city, only the rumbling of a motorbike breaks the cold winter silence. Its riders, Chito and Yuuri, are the last survivors in the war-torn city. Scavenging old military sites for food and parts, the two girls explore the wastelands and speculate about the old world to pass the time. Chito and Yuuri each occasionally struggle with the looming solitude, but when they have each other, sharing the weight of being two of the last humans becomes a bit more bearable. Between Yuuri's clumsy excitement and Chito's calm composure, their dark days get a little brighter with shooting practice, new books, and snowball fights on the frozen battlefield.

last tour

[@MaDmanex100]

I love how each episode of girls last tour makes me smile with glee and in the end lets me feel a sense of meloncholy. Each episode feels like their own story that delves into this genre of a positive vibe from the characters and a negative destroyed world. Its an emotional rollercoaster for sure that i love to watch again. One of the most beautiful and meloncholic moment was the radio episode. You know when you see it.

[@Flugmorph]

10/10 show made me cry 12/12 times anime of the year yall know it

[@aiya5777]

Flugmorph u should read the manga, it's so beautiful. easily my #1 favorite manga on my list. I nearly smash my laptop after dat last chap, literally wtf how could they do this to me, it's too realistic..

[@Flugmorph]

i only read physical manga but i plan to read the series, yes

[@angrymaninapandamask6432]

Yup best show and manga to bad it took forever for me to even find a place to watch it if it got on crunchyroll and funimation it would have hit the top boards on 2017 i know it

[@angrymaninapandamask6432]

@@aiya5777 i can say my bed was full of tears and i dont even cry that had to be the first time in years just they hit you with the realty i always thought slice of life was cute girls doing cute things same shit different shoe but girls last tour was a masterpiece and the place it fills in the anime lables is really something unkown to me but its great non the less

[@All_Powerful_God_Enel]

Girls' Last Tour deserves all the love it can get, truly an amazing series. Can't wait to read the manga.

[@nonche2090]

Harsh ending though

[@brandonwolford1754]

The way it ended was expected though. I rather have it end that way then to end with them continuing their adventure.

[@angrymaninapandamask6432]

I said that and left in tears but tears i shall never forget

[@nonche2090]

@Bryan Galarza Diego its up to interpretation but they pretty much died

[@nonche2090]

@Bryan Galarza Diego yep, and it isn't as harsh as 2 years ago me said it, its just the ambiguity that hurts a lot

[@teguhlg]

i watch this right after i finish nyon nyon biori and theres a recommendation come up, so i thought this might be just as cute as renge. and its probably one of the rarest thing where internet recommendation actually more than i expect.

[@xmus4023]

I happen to feel that the show is perfect in all sense of post-apocalypse. BobSamurai came off as ignorant to the themes. Yes, he understood what they meant; but the implication behind the world the characters inhabit change the way that those themes are explored. You can say that Fallout had the same themes in those games, however the badass nature of the creatures, civilization, and living wasteland undermine the "taking for granted" aspect. As for me, I believe the show and manga executes everything with flying colors. The atmosphere is very desolate, yet tranquil. The world opens a new interesting thematic element each episode, be it setting design or world-info (through building structure or destroyed equipment). The characters are just lovable and play off each other as two sisters would, fuck the Yuuri haters. The supporting characters and world allow for a gradual build of setting information that answer questions in each episode. They do not give full exposition, but they give subtle enough clues to keep the audience fully engaged. This climb helps the pacing seem quite fast (in my opinion), because each new bit of information reveals a lot about the technology seen in previous episodes; since each episode jumps futher in tech in some way. This world-building and character interactions basically allows GLT to be the perfect send-off for humanity as they will eventually decay into the Earth for oblivion

[@AlrycaAeveaHexendias]

Well-written. Amen. I'm a guy saved by the show. There's nothing like GLT that came close to making me feel this content at being alive.

[@qnaman]

I think this show is something more... it heals depression. Shows how to live.

[@TheDominator]

girls last tour is too good. i don't even know how to describe it

Hey for anyone who watched girls last tour you should go read the manga because it has ended but there isn’t enough for another season so it’s unlikely that it will be animated.

[@aiya5777]

Bradley Kirsch nah, it ain't about whether or not there's enough materials. u know k-on ? kyoani was able to make 2 season plus so many ovas nd 1 movie, even tho there wasn't enough materials.

where does the show end? is it worth reading the beginning all over again?

The universe may not have an innate/inherent meaning, but we can make our own.

[@jaggyboo6198]

Ironically Bobsamurai's video bored the fuck outta me...

[@brandonwolford1754]

The anime also gives a good viewpoint on war as in some episodes they would talk about why war exists, why did people fight each other. The best parts of this are when they are continuing their journey, they go to shrines, houses, listen to a form of music (episode 5) etc. And you get a really good idea of all of the things war got rid of. I mean these girls don't even know what most common knowledge things are such as music or even food such as cheese and chocolate. I also forgot about the giant robot and the videos that showed example of war. Another example would be when Yuuri used the robot to accidently destroy a part of the city, Chito was horrified at the destruction capabilities of the weapon as to Yuuri was enjoying of how powerful it was.

[@shayoko6]

This was a simple yet refreshing experience.

[@Seiza25]

IF you watched the anime, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the rest of the manga and especially it's end. Every story needs closure so give the girls their peace

[@pillbox1240]

Mesmerizing show. Not sure how it works as well as it does, but it’s incredible . Amazin!

[@bohemianmonk6222]

I watched like the first six episodes of this on Amazon and it made me wonder "why I was watching this anime that is basically about nothing?" to say this anime is weird and leaves a lot of things unexplained is to say the ocean is wet.I don't think I'm going to continue watching this because there's a lot of other anime I would rather watch instead. I will admit that the art style is rather interesting very unique. Their equipment is rather interesting too. What is it about the Japanese that they are so obsessed with the wehrmacht? Why does the blonde girl have a Kar 98k? It's not like there's anything to shoot. Also one final question: how is it possible that their kettenkrad never runs out of fuel?

[@zoob6510]

It seems to me that you are not paying attention to the story. First, Yuri's gun is a Japanese Army Type 38. As one feature, this is drawn in the first episode to use 6.5 mm bullets. Viewers can see that their clothes and weapons are a mix of countries. For example, Chito's helmet is British style and her clothing is American style. From the date of the first camera view, we can see that this world is a summer day in Japan over a thousand years in the future. Civilization has been destroyed once, and there is only technology to make things of World War II level based on old documents. They don't even know how a digital camera works. Second, the Kettenkrad has a drum-shaped container attached to it, and there is a depiction of putting spare fuel in this. There are mentions and depictions of the two traveling and stopping while looking for a refueling station. This story has a lot of elements that keep me hooked so deeply that it never gets boring, but it's not for the non-observant.

[@BigBoyz33]

think i'm gonna pass on it. I wanted more story out of it but if its some cutesy slice of life in a post apoc wasteland then nevermind.

[@dabatswag5975]

maru chan was freaking out cause she just went blind after seeing that discord in light mode.

[@SuperTungxeo]

Great review on a fantastic series & all those roasts on Bobsamurai lmao Should mention that the entire ED was animated by Tkmiz, that's why the style is the same as the manga & why bits of the manga ending got snuck in there. How did you react to the manga ending, btw? I expected it but it still broke me. It was beautifully bittersweet, IMO.

[@Anigamichan]

+GTP1001 I can see that. Makes sense. I thought the manga ending was perfect and anything more wouldn't have felt right. Supposedly there is a bonus chapter or something releasing to flesh out the conclusion more though? I don't feel it's really neated. The manga itself was a good read all though a lot of the unadapted chapters were pretty weak with my stand outs without spoiling being the one about the AI and the other about the Kettenkrad.

[@SuperTungxeo]

Not sure if the bonus chapter will actually be a continuation on the ending. Some speculate that it might just be a bonus side chapter, kinda like the Bath, House, Moonlight, & Destruction chapters, which are added in the middle of the volume. I agree the ending is perfect & anything extra would be unnecessary.

[@pumpkingamebox]

Sure you can call Yuu as “the half that is fucking stupid” but to me, people like Yuu are the creative ones that create culture and move society forward. I find it insulting to compare Yuu to the SJW’s

[@PasserbyP]

I loved that you loved an anime that i loved

[@brianlynch4801]

And yet with all your criticisms of the anime, this story after finishing the manga as left me emotionally scarred and traumatized. How can that be? You're right, the animation is kind of simplistic but yet complex in some of the scenes. Like for instance when Chito put the portrait next to the cave drawing. Has there been a more powerful scene? Or the Wonder in their eyes when they downloaded all the pictures from the camera. Or the complete sadness of this situation from the AI that asks to be turned off because it has no more meaning but the worst for me was the very last panel in the manga. When you realize they were starving, exhausted, suffering from exposure, hopeless and yet still trying to encourage each other as they said good night. How can you not cry thinking about how our girls have suffered. 💔☹️.

[@noveris6538]

I love this anime just for using a lee enfield rather than a mosin nagant

[@Kabcr]

I disagree with your preference on always maintaining ambiguity. The build up of world building would never have given us the amazing catharsis of the last episode. The same can be said for their backstory: can we really appreciate them as characters if we never really understand how they got to where they are? Ambiguity works quite often, but only if there's some sort of release to dispel the frustration of the viewer's curiosity. Otherwise there's just confusion and dissatisfaction. That said, Girl's Last Tour was the post-apocalyptic iyashikei we have been missing since YKK. Love it quite a lot.

[@Anigamichan]

+Kabcr1 The last episode and how the information was delivered was a far superior version of the grandfather flashback scene and accomplished way more. I still stand by the pointlessness of the flashback scene as we learned nothing new about either of the characters while also taking away the ambugity of Chi's offhand mentions to the grandfather. It was a lose, lose.

[@Kabcr]

Anigami I won't try to change your mind but for me, the brief flashbacks showed for me that they were child orphans and the grandpa, their foster parent: an important distinction to make from a traditional interpretation of family. It might have been redundant to you in that we knew they left because of desertion, but that sequence gave us closure while showing us that they didn't really have a life to live beforehand, even if it's partly told through their ignorance about the world. Also, their constant near starvation likely shows us Yuri's reason for being a glutton, and the importance of her development with the fish. In any case, I strongly agree with your review and am impressed by the work you put into it. My dissent isn't meant to criticize your work, because you did a great job. It's merely a difference of opinion.

[@Anigamichan]

Fair enough. I suppose I didn't look at it like you did and with that in mind definitely agree a lot more your points. I guess the only downside of the flashback is how much of a blatant flashback info dump it was when every other source of past information actually had a unique vessel to deliver it (i.e the camera.) In comparison things such as flashbacks and generic dream sequences stood out much more in a series like this that all in all delivered it's exposition in more interesting and meaningful ways within the world. No worries. Appreciate the differing opinion and praise.

[@antidiscourse4504]

This show was originally double paywalled?

Have you seen Darling in Frankxx? Thats one hell of an original anime so far

[@Brandon_2149]

Girls' Last Tour didn't appeal to me , but good job roasting Bob. I don't hate him, but his video talking about SOL anime is just bad. All he does is trash talk an entire genre due to your own personal biases against it.

[@Unabuu]

Yeah tho I myself find him very entertaining. He just speaks his mind out and there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe im deaf or something but I havent notice him bashing SOL o:

[@lillithwallflowers]

Just finished it- it was such a good anime but I'm kind of sad cuz I don't know what happened to Kanazawa T^T
