| 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 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! |
| 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? |
| This is definitely the weirdest anime plot that I have seen in years. I'm really curious at how this one will turn out. |
 |
| 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 for sure wasn't waht i expected
i'm not sure i like the animal filled world, or the fact that the girls will turn into animals too... but i guess it might be interesting to follow this train journey

| @winddevil1 yeees me neither xD I have no idea what is this series about, but waiting for more xD maybe a visualization of a conspiracy theory xD |
   |
| I feel like this is definitely going to make me cry. I hate that I’m excited about that… |
 |
| finally something I'm really excited for this season!! what a happy surprise!! |
| felt like watching a 20min tiktok lol. its quite original and the backgrounds are creative, im hoping for darker undertones instead of cute stuff tho, lets see |
No way... It cannot be... |
Stark700 said: 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. Biggest L take I've read |

| 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 knew someday the japanese would be the doom of us all... Very intriguing first episode, I certainly hope it will be more than just CGDCT. |
| The title and cover gave me major A Place Further Than The Universe vibes. But fuck me, this is so much crazier. |

| What the fuck did I just watch? It's great lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| 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. |
 |
| interesting concept, I think, but weird presentation, and just weird in general. Gonna leave it here but will come back when it finishes airing IF it actually slaps. |

| 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. |
 |
| Honestly, I was negative about the next anime this season, about a group of anime girls in a world composed of beastmen, but I was positively surprised after this episode. 4/5 |

| A wholly mammaoth??? The animation is so good, truly something very special. Now what confuses me is how the animals can grab things without thumbs?? The girl with the plant is just like me, fr I'm absolutely loving this so far. I'm glad I found a genuinely interesting anime this season bc its been rough. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| i wish i started this way sooner cause its one of the four animes I've watched this season that caught my attention immediately in the first episode.. the premise is really interesting and it's honestly not what i expected at all- definitely going to try catch up before the final episode comes out tomorrow |

| So the world goes awry after the commencement of 7G technology turning much of humanity into animals? The adventure begins when one of them see their child hood friend Youka in a news paper article dating 2 years earlier where the announcement of 7G was begun. Shizuru decides to enlist the conductor Zenjirou to man the town's only train to Ikebukuro in order to find Youka. Shizuru is joined by Akira, Reimi and Shiko along with their pet Shiba. Episode was pretty detailed in terms of the world lore but it was through dialogue kind of cheap way of show-and-tell. I guess this will be a sci-fi CGDCT series. |
| 7g turning people into animals and altering the landscape, not really sure what to expect from this but that is quite a start. |
 |
| Okay, i was expecting experimental anime, but this opening was really peak JAPAN moment |
