I don't remember the name of the anime or the names of the characters, but I do remember what happens in the first few episodes.
I remember that at the beginning there was 2 guys (late teens/early adult appearance) and they were really good at fighting back against bullies who tried to pick on them due to their few numbers. They both had good morals, e.g. didn't go looking for fights etc. Anyway, something happened right near the beginning and one of them disappears. A scene plays showing that the other guy is left alone and loses a fight and wishes his friend was with him.
Something happened and civilization as you know it turned to stone. The guy still there (no.1), wasn't affected by this pandemic occurrence. He walked down a street, saw the bullies from earlier and reclaimed his wallet which he found was empty.
He then walked towards some sort of graveyard/cliff and after a moment he randomly gets attacked by a woman with a sword. This dude being the badass he is dodged the attack and defended any other follow up attacks she attempted. They both jump back creating space between them and they have a small discussion. After the discussion, the woman gets riled up again but then no.1 points out that there is a type of insect (I think butterfly) fluttering past him. The woman sneers and questions why he's bothered. He explains that it wasn't the right season for the kind of insect and then some weird shit happens in the sea to the side of the two combatants. Some giant structure comes out of nowhere or a load of the insects gathered and something happened.
Shortly after, the other guy (no.2) came out of nowhere (i think floating due to magic) done something cool and the woman fleed. No.1 was happy, they talked and no.2 explained the situation. He said something about needing to fight someone but no.1 wouldn't be able to do anything as he is - he would need magical items to assist him in combat as there are other magic users.
They go looking for stuff, no.1 finds some rare magical items and last thing I remember is no.2 was gonna fight off against some older.
The events may not have happened in this exact order, but for the most part I'm confident its how it went. The quality of the animation wasn't anything below 2007 and if you can tell me what it is I would be forever in your favour <3
Thanks for taking the time and patience to read this and I hope to hear a reply soon :)
