First Episode, it's all good for me watced this while ate haha. I don't really know how and why the city is declining while the technology is still continuing and developing, maybe since Akira died in Progloue.

main char finds unnatural (appeal to nature fallacy) for many different people to get married, but its ok for him to want to marry his own sister (adoption makes no difference, they are brothers not related by blood). Hope his flawed thinking gets addressed, and that the "bad guys" are not so goofy as in this episode. if not, this is not going to be good...

This took a very bloody turn like the previous episode, that OWEL manager deserved to die. For now I'm hooked

is this the anime that white people are bad and mix people are the "victim" ?
@Korphian It's going to be ok. You can keep being the victim if you want.

Arrives on time.
Slices the enemy to pieces and annihilated the boss with a rail gun cannon.
Casually the goes into wifey mode and proposes marriage to our boy
Cinema
PA works dropping another potentially great work with his android saga.
Animation is 10/10 chefs kiss and hope it stays consistent with art style as well.

There are still quite the interesting stuff especially with present world building in the apocalyptic world & how humanity has developed. Especially with marriage & relationships. That is gonna be quite the topic of discussion.

Still enjoyed the 1st episode and looking forward to the next one.

Fuck that guy but she totally could've just used her reflective shield to kill him or just cut him up. That last shot felt a bit overkill. I see why there's all the crators now. I wonder though if the meteor shower we heard about in ep 0 caused all those craters or is it all from weapons like that?

What a way to start an anime.

For starters, I think it's fundamental to say that watching Episode 0 prior to this one is fundamental, since that prologue explores Akira's relationship with Towasa, which was barely touched on in this episode, which could take away from some scenes, like the one where Akira cries during the night remembering his girlfriend. It also gives a lot more context from where Akira comes from, since he came from a futuristic scene, and know he's in a much less futuristic setting.

I'm really curious to see what this OWEL coorperation is, because they certainly are shady. The fact that Vogt snitched his family... Wow, he really didn't think it would give problems to the rest of the family? What was he thinking? Not sure if we are going to see him after this episode though.
Akira was really well received by Weir, Idhi and the rest of the family though. At least he had some time to assimilate everything that was happening, before everything happened, and was starting to get treated as an object by OWEL.

Also, I'm curious about the importance of the "marriage" (ehlsea) thing, since they introduced that so early. Maybe the idea of ehlsea was what Yuugure had in mind when she asked Akira to marry her at the end of the episode.

And then Yuugure makes an appearance, and I have to say, what an appearance. The fighting animation was really good, and the battle felt great! P.A. Works is doing an amazing job at producing this anime, it looks really good! Considering what we know from Episode 0, I'm really curious to see if Towasa really was the one that created Yuugure, considering that she was studying how to make robots like her.

We got to see the opening at the end. The song is good I think, nothing super outstanding though, but it might grow on me. However I found the animation of the opening a bit weird, considering the music it has, but ok.

I'm really curious to see how P.A. Works will develop this one, but it has a lot of potential with this plot! It seems romance it's going to be a big part of this, and you know you can trust P.A. Works with their original romance works. I hope they deliver with the Sci-fi aspect too, since it seems they are going to reflect about some topics like A.I., and honestly somethings started reminding me a bit of some thematics from Serial Experiments Lain.
It's true that P.A. Works has some anime that had really interesting settings, and then the anime wasn't able to hold up to that (looking at you Fairy Gone), but this anime is certainly walking into the right direction so far.
Really excited for the next episode!

Towa no Yuugure or Dusk Beyond the End of the World Interesting concept. Investing so hard. It seems like jobless reincarnation but in the future. Insane animation and music; enjoyed this first episode very much. Definitely starting off very hot. Might be in the top 10 first episodes of all time. I love the artstyle so much. The animation is giving me great pretender vibes, and this show is awesome so far. I wish they kept the sci-fi futuristic world for longer; this show is going to be the show of the season. BELIEVE IT.

That’s cool the Japanese name for this anime is Towa no Yuugure. Both names of each girl. Yuugure really is just straight up a blonde Towa 🤣 she kicked ass. That marriage proposal at the end! I knew it! 👀🤣 She’s a blonde Android like Android 18! Go for it Akira!

My 13th Fall 2025 anime! I am hopping on a little late with this one too 😅 initially didn’t think it was good, but after watching that confession scene on Twitter, I am totally hooked now! 🙌🏻

Also holy crap what a top tier Seiyuu cast 🤣 Yui Ishikawa, Umeda Shuuichiro, Ai Kayano, and Tomita Miyu! 🙌🏻 They’re all using different voices compared to their signature voices I know, but still!

She has an anti-ballistic omni-directional shield and dude threw a pipe to protect her from what exactly? If this show doesn't rely a lot on its actions scenes, it will be a festival of bad writing, what a disappointment this first episode was.

so we had step siblings romance in episode 0, now we are introduced to new marriage system (idk but it feels like authors had some weird dreams they tried to apply in here), also some crazy villain who have no personality and is just there to kill everyone (actually hes here only for a main character to make some "badass" appearance, getting her gun out of nowhere and its called science i guess)
i was quite excited for this series because of artstyle and the "how would the world look like after it was destroyed" kind of vibe, but it seems like another slop just arrived.

It's called being a cavalier.

It might be silly, but also understandable given the fact that he doesn't know the full extent of her defensive cabalities.

holy shit, the level of violence and gore combinated with this gorgeous sakuga action sequence was such a surprising treat. I will defintely come back to this scene.

I'm so excited to see where this goes. And if the action animation can stay consistent like this.

Including ep 0's knowledge and this ep with a bit of the opening, I have a feeling that all androids we're going to encounter are all based on Towa, based on hair styles. They all could be running on the logic of finding Akira as their core function, but have different functions with them.

my 2 cents and best guess.

It takes two incompetent policemen to try and restrain an armed individual while being completely unarmed themselves (not even a taser) and fail.

Anyone, it starts with a bang, and a new ruined world to explore. And they know him as the wise one.

It’s finally time for a PA Works original, and I can say they’re really cooking this time. I like the setting and the story so far, and I’m curious to know more about what happened during all those years Akira was asleep. And damn, I don’t know if it’s become the norm, but androids in post-apocalyptic worlds always seem so powerful. I’m really looking forward to enjoying this one.

Judging from the op all the Androids seem to have been modeled after Towa with some variations. The one who saved Akira just be Towa's AI companion from 2039..
We're left with more questions. Can't wait for the next episode.

A strong first two episodes, but while it's nearly perfect, some places are so stupidly over did I can't believe it.

In the episode 0 the lack of security at the ai presentation was just blatant stupid. She was already targeted by many people so it was easy to know that there is a high chance somebody will bring firearm to the event. Even considering the theme of her research which already caused people to protest, and her importance in future development of modern technology. There were not even body guards around the stage!! The guy could just walk up there lol

The next nit-pick I have is the first mob boss, why was it a shouting no brain idiot? A cold blooded leader would made it much more believable. Their job is to oversee the people, so somebody with more brain than a half dead chicken would have needed for the position.

Lastly, Yuugure's ultimate move. Girl, if there was a town on that mountain, they are dead dead. Also wild life? Who cares! The mob already burned to death without the need to shot that thing.

I would give this a 10/10 if these things would not happened. I reeeely hope the next episodes are just a bit more serious, just a little tiny bit.
Because so many other things are good in this, Towasa and Akira as characters, the problems with Ai tech that we also starts to experience nowdays, how things and society, even relationships changes over decades, it's so interesting in those regards.

the blonde android is prob an ai made by towasa, which isnt exactly a 1:1 copy of her but just based on her, and is meant to be the guy's companion in the future to come bc she doesnt know when he will wake up

This season has been the worse one so far since I can remember. A lot of series written to conform with weak western sensibilities. Anime becoming mainstream is the reason why it will die.

Awww the perfect UN/WEF/NGO feminist cr@p revisionist fantasy, wet dream anime.

Weak asf twink beta male, all powerful, who clearly as the "pants" in the relationship female. The dominant "voice" in all decision making, fudge the "male" "he" doesn't have a say in the matter. the entire "let's get married" b.s no reaction from soyboy over there. Perfect.

They really think we are all stupid or something. What happened to the Japanese people? Why are they now Brown and speaking in tongue/foreign language.

How? Why? Don't know, it isn't explained and probably will never be. But let's put some Pacific Islander & Aboriginal Australians living in Japan now for some reason. Yeah some reason ....

Of course they couldn't leave out the now mandatory forced the message.... It's like the mangaka now a days if they want to get paid they have to put in the message, or be send to the gulag. Very Soviet/Socialist, in line with what the UN all it's minions and the left dearly love.

Of course the baddy is a White male, probably he's straight that way we can have the entire trifecta.

I thought that maybe the first (or, second, I guess) episode would mostly consist of Akira exploring this new world of the distant future, gathering his bearings, perhaps getting hints of what had happened. Would've liked that and the eerie and mysterious vibes it would've give off. But that only would've worked if nearly all of humanity was wiped out. Instead, he gets found immediately by humans (or androids, who knows) and brought to the nearest settlement. That was all kind of too quick for me but hey they are getting down to business right away so I can't complain.

So while humanity numbers may have dwindled, they clearly still are flourishing. Who knows, maybe humanity (or, again, androids) have actually increased their population, and that there might be more and bigger cities out there that have developed. It just so happens maybe that this city Akira was in got unlucky in a war or something, bringing it into ruins. But enough speculation, let's talk about what we do know: and that is that we have a light-saber-wielding android who kind of has a striking resemblance to our dear Towasa. Could it be her, with memory loss? Is there a part of her in there? Who knows. It all still has me just as intrigued as before.
