There are some things to be imagined. The last scene are them in some kind of wheat field, some people say the rock they lean to are teleport machine. Remember the rockets they saw and the trajectory; one stop somewhere and the latest one keep going on without end. Humanity could be in that ship, and the one connecting earth and the ship are the rocks that sits on the very top level. Others say they just dead, and the last image is just some kind of heaven. Though i very much agree that the ending was great since the whole story itself is about existencial crisis and life choices and ethics and stuff so its like the ending is the same with life. What actually happened is what us choose to happen.

*Spoilers of the manga* I remember watching the last episode of the anime, then searching the manga to continue the story (which there is not a lot left after the anime tbh, they could finish the whole story in an ova or something), the AI that wanted to die was shocking to me, but the one thing that make my heart shrink and being tear appart was this near the end chapter where they are climbing those stairs in pitch black darkness: They lost their vehicle, they had no food nor water, they knew they wont last long, they didn't know if those stairs reached anywhere, or if it did, there was anything there waiting for them, and they only keep climbing because they were handholding to not loose eachother in the dark and remembering their time together... Man that chapter hit super hard...

[@zimbo65a]

yes Sir! And don´t forget...one of the girls was afraid of darkness and the other was afraid of height and together they climbed day by day up the stairs in absolutely darkness,because they had each other!And deep inside they knew that nothing was waiting für them at the upper level.They had to finish their destiny so they did what was to do!So the poem was engraved into the table!Two small crosses would vanish on a pale road!

Girls' Last Tour was such a surreal experience. Calming and philosophical pondering why and how we should live. This is one of my hidden gems. I'm just gonna briefly quote tkmiz that rly resonate with me: "Where there are people like Ishii and Kanazawa who live with purpose, there will always be those like Chito and Yuri who travel aimlessly, free and easy. Which way of living is true happiness, and is it correct? They are characters that have to some extent been created to ask these questions."

As dark as it gets in times, I find that there's just something awfully nice in Girl's Last Tour. Even after everything has ended, and nothing can really be some to start over, good and nice things cam still happen. Yuri and Chito can still find things to be joyous about, and even if that fails, they still got eachother. I try to reflect that same way of thinking to my own life, especially during more depressive episodes. As dark as it seems, good things can and will still happen and there are still people you can hold on. Sometimes, you just have to become friends with despair.

[@keyl2528]

not entirely

[@HopelessEvenings]

On the topic of how the manga talks about reasons to live for - at one point it's shown how one of Chito's books is Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation - the philosopher Schopenhauer talked about how Will doesn't depend on reason/knowledge but actually is a force on itself that makes reason find an object to strive for. Coincidentally going to the top layer is something Chito and Yuuri do sort of as an excuse to give their journey an overall goal, yet their journey does not depend on this goal for meaning. Tkmiz is exceptionally well read and is the mangaka that I've seen work with subtlety the best, something other authors cannot dream of, where everything is overt even if their series are actually deep. This is my favorite manga, I found it extremely touching and relatable. Thanks for making a video on it! The anime adaptation was also extremely good, I loved the soundtrack. I hope at some point they manage to animate the rest of the story but sadly there's not enough content for one season I believe... Take care and I hope you're all getting along with hopelessness.

[@heroslippy6666]

tkmiz's art is some of the best i've seen. such a weird style for drawing and animating but it works so well. i watched the anime and then got the manga simply for the art

Seeing all these clips and images of them, bit by bit my memories of them start to resurface, all the good moments, the sad moments, and finally... that last chapter.

I was over overwhelmed and just can't help but cry a bit.

So when I heard an anime was made out of one of his original work, which I didnt know he did, I sure as hell watched it, loved it and then went to the source. It was quite a roller coaster even though the setting is always so eerily relaxed. I dont think any other work compares....Hmmm maybe Blame! but that one still has a different vibe most of the time.

[@markzaikov456]

If you're here and you haven't finished the Manga, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you finish it. In the anime, they added bits and pieces to tease you to continue the story by reading the manga. They also ended it on a good note for the TV, BUT remember it's literally on the title that it's their "LAST TOUR". The ending sequence, Tsukumizu herself did the key animation on it. (Also one of the scenes there are literally from the last chapter of the manga.) The Ending song "More One Night" could also mean phonetically "Mou wan nai" or "Mou Owaranai" means "It's still not done", yet. "Cures Depression with Depressive things and still feel Peaceful about it." Everything has an end and that's okay. TKMIZ has a new manga! "Shimeji Simulation" This one has a different tone but you'll feel the Tsukumizu thing. I love how tkmiz writes.

Thank you for showing me a new manga of my favorite genre to get absorbed into.

[@PlebCentre]

It really is just SOL Blame! and i love it.

[@0oOSTFUOo0]

That anime was the single most aesthetic piece of dystopian art I've ever seen. Never been a huge fan of the genre/trope ('it's the future and we're all fcked and the end is inevitable'), but the story was just so heart-warming, adorable and simple, but structured all within a cold, cruel and coplicated world that is just about to end. I was blown away completely, and am still wondering why this wasn't a lot more popular.

[@Contract74]

This is kinda attractive I'm gonna have to read this, thank you hiding

[@HidinginPublic]

wondeful, hope you like it

[@victorjun2421]

I like the comfy and simple artstyle combined with the message of that anime. It feels like regardless of the goal they have, they're happy with what they have.

[@bluequartzdragon]

The only thing I didn't like about the anime is that it didn't exactly complete the story... So it just kind of leaves them sitting there... Waiting for the end. But I guess that's kind of what they do in the manga, but in there is a sense of some accomplishment. Oh well! I still love both.

At the time the anime Aires the manga wasnt finished

Whenever I see this anime I always cry the ending was so sad A Long Long Journey comes to an End with both of us *Till the last bit of time Holding each others hand and touching each others soul*

[@magnusarsmagna5896]

I have a this weird theory that popped in my mind. The two girls are actually forms that death itself took and that the people they met are dead and stuck in the world. The only way for them to go to the afterlife is to complete what they've failed to do.

[@konsekimochi]

I'll never forget this manga, no matter what.. even though it was so short, that makes you just wanna savor it till the end more.. I remember crying my eyes out reading the last chapters in the middle of the night while laying down... man it just really gives you a different feel on life... it just makes you want to appreciate everything more.. and encourage a strong relationship like theirs.. its so fucking beautiful. waah.. wish i had a relationship like theirs... so playful and always there for each other :,( WAAAAAAH in the end having each other was the only thing that mattered... especially that stair scene where they were holding hands just walking up the stairs and they take the glove off to feel each other.. man.. I LOVE ITTT :,(((

It's almost so peaceful and calming only worrying about what you gonna do next but still sad and feel happy because of the mc is perfect for each other

[@lage1810]

I wish I could watch or read emotional anime or manga it's just to much emotional strain for me. Especially when it comes to endings, I really can't handle something finishing totally if it's wholesome or sad.

[@BlazingDonut88]

I absolutely adore this anime/manga. It’s the perfect mix of cute moe stuff and deep philosophical themes. And the feeling you get while watching/reading is something special, it’s depressing yet positive at the same time. Easily in my top 15.

[@HidinginPublic]

It's definitely unique. Tsukumizu needs to try their hand at another series. I want more!

[@HopelessEvenings]

@@HidinginPublic They have a new manga called Shimeji Simulation. It is pretty interesting and surreal but in a way that doesn't feel random to me. Not many chapters are out however.

[@alexis.g8123]

[Spoiler] I finished it a few weeks ago, before that i wasn't really convinced by the concept of stories that are about the journey not the destination, the ending being for me a whole point or more when rating a show from 1 to 10. But not being told beforehand about the end, and actually being satisfied with an "empty" ending, it certainly has changed how i experience a show now, be it the journey or the destination.

[@BlueMageDaisen]

Persona 2 music began playing, I am now contractually obliged to watch this entire video Interesting story, thanks for the dive into it

[@HidinginPublic]

If you like persona, consider checking my channel Hiding in Private, I'm working on a big p4 series rn. And yeah I use a bunch of persona and smt music in videos. They're banger osts and games

Not sure what you mean but I appreciate it. You think something about them is aesthetic?

[@jumbojohn890]

@@HidinginPublic Its like when I watch your videos I don't get the same feeling as any other anime/manga youtuber. For some reason I get an emotional investment In the topic and your opinion. But I might be lookin to deep into this. Keep up the great work!

[@frontierr3471]

Hell yes, glad this video exists. SSR is my all time favorite anime. Kind of sad it didn't go mainstream though.

[@rimurunava]

If you dont know the ending of manga and dont think about it too much, it’s actually just another wholesome slice of life, and its done amazingly and has a happy and light feeling. But once you know about the ending of the manga, one of the things you cant unsee and inremember.... its just too sad.....

[@kayochan315]

I am glad Girls Last Tour gets it's deserved attention. I have seen the anime and read all manga since it came out, and I love it. It's definitely one of my favourite stories out there, I can always rewatch / reread it without getting bored. I'm not gonna spoiler anything but the end did make me go emotional personally. In fact most of it did

[@ashharkausar413]

Your voice is really nice man, soothing to the ears.

[@HidinginPublic]

Thanks, glad it's pleasant

[@gretarotcard]

always love your videos man. this manga made me reflect on a lot when i read it, mostly mortality and if there really is a meaning to do things if there's no end goal or if the journey is the real reason to live and such. the anime was just as interesting to me and felt similar to the manga in many ways. love hearing about your view and interpretation of this series and what you thought were the important parts of it. keep up the lovely work on the videos!! i and many others support your videos always!!!!
