| Fantastic final episode but a pretty bad show even then, I'm afraid. Poor animation quality, slapstick-level direction and unnecessary mid-arc among more but the soundtrack, from the great Ushio Kensuke, was bloody great! Mix of Devilam Crybaby and Koe no Katachi aesthetics, wonderful! Rising Suns - the moment this played and we got a whole slideshow of the "former Japan", I really can't describe the feeling honestly. Simply, beautiful. When the tempo rose and the chorus came on, 10/10. Thank You! Coupled with the monologue from Ayumu and the moment Rising Suns, Again played, man twas' one of the finest conclusions to an anime I've had the pleasure of viewing. Not to mention, Kaf's ending song there too! All round, all positives in that 2nd half especially. 1st half wasn't half-bad either to be honest. Kite is a real bro, I just knew he wasn't going to abandon them from the get-go. Ambiguous whether he managed to survive but I'm betting not, tough way to have to meet one's end though I must say. Seriously, what couldn't he possibly do though lol? RIP. Overall, I think I will have to settle with a 4/10 here. Animation, for the most bit, was really bad and the Characters so-so along with the messy plot and direction but if I may borrow Gigguk's words with a alteration of my own - it's basically a 3/10 show with a few 10/10 moments. Yikes, the overdone Engrish moments was really off-putting though... Absolutely not going to regret watching this however, this last episode really packed a punch after all. |

| Watched after Trash Taste podcast mentioned this... had to watch the series over the course of the long weekend. The animation (or lack of it) was really laughable at times... i swear I was watching a powerpoint when Kite was sneaking around in the random cult base (what the f was that all about anyways?). Some of these characters must have rolled some crazy luck stats given the odds of making it through some of the scenarios in this anime - kids playing Life of Pi to be found in the middle of the ocean miraculously by their parent who survived a sinking ship... and then to be found again by Kite who somehow commandeered an amphibious tank. The characters act so illogical sometimes that it is inhuman. Yeah, this was bad in a lot of ways but I can't say I wasn't entertained watching it. And that's okay - sometimes, that is all I want from my media. |
| @Papy-1412 Very well said. This anime was definitely a mess but worth a watch nonetheless. Despite everything I really liked this epilogue. It was a wild and messy journey. How Kite survived; I'll never know. |
| This show is so senseless that I watched it more as a joke than something serious, at least it was entertaining thanks to how stupid it is...xD |
 |
| This show is so bad it's good. I'm really glad I watched it all the way through. Don't think it could have been more absurd every episode. |
 |
| So, while the premise seemed promising (2012 as an anime? Count me in!), it just didn't deliver. The art was atrocious most of the time, I was just sitting through it. The first episodes were okay even, until that stuff with that cult (and Daniel...) happened. The show just totally lost me there and I just wanted to get it over with. Why was there something that felt like a filler in a 10 Ep OVA?! It also bothered me when things got over the top unrealistic, like the mother reuniting with her children somewhere on the ocean. Plus, Ayumu must have been the most terrible character I have seen for a long time...and I have already taken into account that you may act erratically when in such a life-threatening situation. Also, I was confused what the show wanted to tell me in the end. When that incident with the boat "only for Japanese" happened, it was like anti-nationalist/racist, then I had to endure some strange rapping session and ending sequence about how cool Japan is... ? So, what was the message in the end? I think the only thing I genuinely liked was the ending that somehow incorporated all those audio pieces that had been scattered throughout the show before and made it seem like it had come full-circle (in a way). 5/10 because I didn't hate it. |

| What a dumpster fire. This felt like propaganda and not a show Japan would make. |
| Surprised this ended on such a positive note considering the mess that is the rest of the show. It's truly unfortunate that the plot and character completely ruined such a promising premise. The characters are basically tools to help the MC achieve their next goal; while the plot feels like a constant sucker punch that beats all emotions out of you until you become unsure what to feel. 2/10. I shall regard this anime as Japan's attempt to deter weebs from wanting to immigrate, and it's working bloody well. |
| Thank god they didn't fucked up the ending.... It was so emotional in the last episode 😭 |
 |
| Kite was literally a deus ex machina in human form. I liked him lmao but he showed up at the most random time and cause such convenient shit to happen. Cool about the nod to him being trans though?? |
  |
| Had some good moments but overall was a pretty average anime. 5/10 |
| Kouichirou, Mari, Nanami, Haruo and the rest faced unfortunate and sudden death. Luckily, Ayumu, Gou and KITE survived. KITE is still a famous YouTuber. Gou is now an E-sports rep of Japan. Ayumu lost her left leg, but she's still living fulfilling her dreams and now a paralympics athlete. Life is short. No one knows when a destructive calamity will strike. No one knows how long we will remain in this Earth. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. We can't bring back the past. But, we can live in the present. Count your blessings. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again. This too shall pass. Just keep on moving forward and aim for a better future.  |

| I really don't understand why this series have too much hate. I mean, the animation is not that good. But the story is good. Not the best, but entertaining. At the beginning I thought this was an earthquake anime like Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. But still I liked it. About people saying that Kite is still alive or not. There are two moments of this episode that says us that he is alive. |
| ok like this was a sad show for me.. never enjoy people dying... but overall a great show |
 |
| Kite have a childs already. Man this is awesome. Can't wait for recap |
| Kite is alive right? Why he doesn't appear at the end? (he is, but only in a video) it's all Ayumu and Go! The ending is fine. I'm bothered on the animation sometimes, their body movement doesn't look good.. like their hand is so big or the face looks funny. My favorite episode is episode 8, it's very emotional for me but that's it, everything is so over dramatic and exaggerated. Overall it's an okay show 6/10 |
 |
| Jesus Christ, I can't believe how forced the "Ayumu losing her foot" plot-line ended up being... Well... leaving aside some few decent moments such as the first 15 minutes of episode 1; Mari's death and the sequence with Mari's family pictures, this series ended up being as much of a disaster as the earthquakes that sank Japan. Writing was a total mess with no sense of direction regarding how it wanted to tell its story, there were lots of plot conveniences and inconsistencies that were ignored in order to pull at the audience's heartstrings for lame emotional bait, lack of development for most part of the cast with most deaths being implemented merely for shock value, art was atrocious beyond the point of simply being an artistic choice, etc. 2/10 - Unintentionally, one of 2020's best comedies. That's for sure. P.S.: Also WTF? Were they implying that Kaito was trans all along? |

| i don't understand why so many people didn't like or even hated this anime, maybe because of the art i think. i loved this anime. really great ending as well. Go actually became an e-sports champion. he's so cool. and i also really like the message of this anime |
