Seems interesting, I went into it expecting it to be boring and something I wouldn't care for but it's not bad. Kinda can't wait for next epsiode.

It looks completely bizarre, but the premise is really interesting. Although the story is just about 7G breaking the world and a group of girls looking for their missing friend, it still looks like it's going to be entertaining to watch.

I hope it's not another wonder egg. The first episode was pretty good and we're definitely off to an interesting start

Not sure what I'm walking into with this series. I think I kind of liked Gakkou Gurashi, but I couldn't bear to watch more than a few episodes of Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko. Kemono Friends was great though.

Wonder why the figure is 21 1/4 years old to turn into an animal though...
If I interpret that as a date, it could be 2021 April 1, about 3 years ago from today, while the anime indicates a 2 year time skip...
If I convert it to days, it's about 7762 days, which is about 2 weeks short of 7777 days. Maybe it's close enough that they just say "21 years 3 months"?
@Takata Possibly because 21 years and 3 months is 255 months. 255 is an important number (maximum unsigned value) for 8 bit systems. Wikipedia provides a good explanation.

Great! Love that vibe of inevitable apocalypse, yet it's not all grim and grey, but chaotic and crazy instead.

expected a train otaku show, but this super weird, seem like those feverdream fables but post apocalypse.
Characters ramble on a lot tho. Sun bear seem turning...
Capybara & guinea pig granny adorbs but oof.
Those trucks sure got some madmax vibes. Mr Train weird but gave some worldbuilding.
That pessimist aside, main group seem fun & varied for a nice roadtrip.
ED & OP such chill.

I thought its just a CGDCT
what the fuck is this!?

that was an interesting first episode, the world became distorted and people turned into animals (+some to trees?? and those marks from the supply truck looked like zombie stuffs). really omoshiroi.

and this is an original anime? that means no one knows what is even coming and now im even more excited for more.

also the OP / ED are good!

Let's hope it doesn't turn into a Humanity Has Declined type of series that just fades out into nothingness. CGDST (Cute Girls Do Strange Things) for the win!

Oh another celebration anime. Metallic Rouge last season.

Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? is interesting. I initially thought that this would be like Girls Last Tour, with only the girls in the story. The premise is good enough to keep me watching. Let's see where this will end.

1. Read news about the show before the season begins. See poster and synopsis and assume it's a "cute girls on a train" show.

2. Check MAL page when season begins. Notice that this show commemorates some Japan railway anniversary and assume the show will be promotional and boring.

3. Check out Episode 1 on a whim, because there aren't many Spring 2024 shows out yet.

4. ???

5. Get fully on-board.

This looks pretty well-animated and snappily-edited. Scenes come across off-kilter and extra comedic, but not sloppy. It's way better than I expected from such a weird and nonsensical story. Is it just me?

Is... is this an anime for those people who were destroying 5G towers back in the day? Like what is up with that effect making a district into Wonderland, changing people into animals among other effects? This is very strange but from the trailer I could tell something was off. I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into another Wonder Egg.

This was okay, nothing too speical but it has that slice of life-ish feel for the first episode.

One of the main leads Shizuru turns out to be tougher than I had expected. They introduced a decent amount of characters into this and looking forward to see how the show will focus on them. Animation quality feels mediocre imo, especially during the more cartoony moments. However, the background scenes looks gorgeous. It definitely has that suburb feeling though.

Girls looking cute, ost quite catchy, especially that gatan goton ngl, and va so far really an enjoyable choices with Taoyama Nao being the one i truly appreciate here. Not that i don't recognize other va tho. But Story so far was just okay, idk what should i more to say rather than this is indeed a pretty weird start. Perhaps there's some foreshadowing being served, like why they stopped the change at those point like in midway, then those 7G represented as a train connecting people's mind, whatever. Although overall its still no clue to me what direction this show will get other than our cute mc looking for her cute girl friend.

Either its a flop or a masterpiece, i am taking ride of the bullet train, to the end of the world.

A creative post apocalypse setting. I imagine we're going to see lots of outlandish things on the journey, with the train being a safe haven of sorts.

I wonder if the kidnapped girl has thrown her lot in with the 7G folk?

Beware guys! 7G technology can distort our world. lmao...

btw, the train from this episode is Seibu 2000 series. The Agano Station is served by the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, where the origination station is Ikebukuro. One of their future stop could be Hanno, the main location from Yama no Susume.

@AkeZZZ ありがとうございます!

Having an interest for trains in cities particularly, I love the incorporation of real-life railways or any representation like this in anime as it brings representation to the lesser-known prefectures of the country. Also, gotta love the details and CGI they used for the train scenes, so I'll most likely be invested in these scenes as the anime goes on. Really cool how this was announced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Japan's first railway, even though I don't have much familiarity with Japanese railways.

As for my first impressions, this show wasn't on my radar for the season, but I'm glad that I'm able to catch this early on. I currently don't know what to expect over the next episodes since I haven't watched any trailers, but the premise that this first episode provided was riveting enough. Also, that Zenjirou's transformation was crazy; the subversion of expectations was strong with his appearance, though it sucks it was only for a little bit.

The fast pacing of the dialogue does make it hard to comprehend the plot at times, but I'll forgive it since it will tap into my interest of trains in a post-apocalyptic setting. I'll be waiting to see what is going to be cooked up.

I absolutely lost it!! Oh man taking the 5G craze and making a whole apocalypse from the idea lmao!
You thought 5G was bad, well 6G was worse... but it's got nothing on... 7G





In seriousness though, when i saw that Mad Max lookin truck pull up with the bloody hand prints and bullets all over it... Well i was expecting the horrors to show up later.

A rather quirky show with some glaring red flags hinting at a potential dark turn if you pay attention. Most notably, the animals fully turning and attacking people.

Regardless, it appears that our heroines' objective is to locate their missing friend, recently discovered to be in Ikebukuro. Perhaps they'll also uncover a method to reverse the effects of this 7G network.

The call to adventure at the end of the episode is intriguing, but seeing that the roaming caravan is heavily armed and stained with blood, I suspect things will take a dark turn rather swiftly.

So cool! What a unique and interesting premise! Hooked, can't wait to see what awaits them on the journey and where the plot will go. Love the expression of 7G at the beginning of the episode, the satire toward modern marketing and technological advancement. Lots of great post-apocalyptic landscape art too.

I literally have so many question marks above my head after watching episode 1. I don't like the feeling that I am getting from this seemingly slice of life, cgdct anime... Feels like some sort of predicament is gonna happen. It gives off a Made In Abyss vibes, rather than a Girls' Last Tour. Anyways, this anime is off to a great start. The animation looks good and I have high hopes for it.
