| both girls found a other man....is strange in a world when is hard find a other person, life in solitary is a little r--!!! Well, one point about the world, when they spoke about the world, said that world was constructed by other humans, and after lifes other or similiar explained!!! |
| A really good episode. Better than the first two. This was surprisingly insightful and shockingly beautiful. |
| Not gonna lie, this made me tear up by the end. This show is absolutely phenomenal, it's exceeding every expectation I had about it. It's such a sad series, but it also mixes in - I don't want to say moments of joy or happiness, but it mixes in the feelings of life itself, the feeling of just moving on, no matter what. Felt bad for the map dude, I hope he manages to make all his maps again. This setting is and background of the world is just tragic, since it seems like the world recovered once from an already post apocalyptic world and the history just repeated itself, so sad. The atmosphere that the 2 girls create riding their vehicle around these gray, endless concrete filled landscapes creates something I've truly never seen before, you can only get something like this from Japan. This show evokes a feeling I've never really felt before. I love how the characters also constantly ask themselves simple yet complicated questions that don't have straight answers. Shaping up to be one of my favorites of the year. You just don't get series like this one, post apocalyptic contemplative series. Bless whoever thought it was a good idea to give this amazing manga an anime, thank you, also thanks to the people in charge of the show, they're doing an amazing job. |
| :3 |
| Interesting architecture. Surprising another character was introduced only to leave again. |
 |
| I didn't think they were gonna find another human so early but hey as long as he didn't do anything evil, which he didn't, then hey who cares! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Not bad episode, actually it striked me how one place in the distance is enough to keep you going... But Yuuri is a real psycho with that gun, like she was pointing on his head almost all the time and probably doesn't even have self-preservation instinct. Nice atmosphere on the upper level though. Wonder if they meet more people in the upcoming episodes. |
| Between the book burning in the previous episode and dropping the maps, watching them lose priceless knowledge in a post apocalyptic world has been surprisingly stressful lol. And I wonder what happened to the people who built all these insanely huge structures, since according to the new guy, they were long gone when these people first arrived and started living in their city. Also, I hope they didn't turn the entire planet into one giant city, because by the looks of it, they were very much capable of doing it. If not, then maybe Chito and Yuu can get out of the city and start "living off the land" in the wilderness (if there's still any left), because that way they would have a much better chance at long term survival. Those military rations and canned foods aren't going to stay edible for long. |
| Poor Kanazawa.. well as long he's alive he can make it from scratch again I'm glad this is a SOL anime.. Imagine it's like Metro 2033 or Fallout, they're 100% going to shoot at each other.. just because xD I hope we'll meet Kanazawa again, he can just join with Chii and Yuu |
"Signature removed"   |
| They should've made kids with this guy. |
| "Hey, Yuu. Why do people live?" Chito had a good point, considering the situation they're in. I wonder if she's ever contemplated suicide considering how bleak things are/her apparent traumatic memories of the war we saw in her flashback in the first episode, and how much more serious/in trouble with reality she is compared to Yuuri. So somebody else is alive...an older gentleman who also seemed to think he was the last person alive. Just how many survivors are there? "Favor?" Jesus, Yuuri, put the gun down. If there's one thing this war should have proven, it's that violence doesn't solve anything. "Working up a sweat for the first time in a while really makes you feel alive..." Knowing Yuuri, I'd think it'd just make her hungry. "Be careful. She burns other people's books." Not intentionally, at least! I do wonder if there could be more survivors on a higher level then where Chito and Yuuri are. It's also possible that they got wiped out with everything else though - perhaps even easier than the lower levels, since being higher makes them an easy first target. Not gonna lie, I was fully expecting Kanazawa to kill himself at one point without the map, especially since he'd said earlier that he couldn't live without it. It's almost like he was saved from suicide by that fruit-flavored bar Yuuri gave him. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Damn, that sure is a shame that he lost all his maps :/ good episode though! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I actually liked this episode. I think this is good for watching to put oneself in a calm mood before sleep, and it's not as boring as Non Non Byori or Flying Witch |
| it was better if they keep together. Maybe. |
 |
| RIP maps, nice job lad. |
 |
| Wow! There is life in that world, what a surprise! The joy of the opening stride with the atmosphere that is experienced in the episodes and with the greyness of situational contexts, to give a hand to it we also think the two protagonists who with their sympathy less weigh the anxiety aspect derived from the places that they cross the two girls. The existential questions seem to be the daily bread of this anime series, the soundtrack is catchy. What a fear I had when the elevator stopped abruptly. |
 |
| Oh poor Kanazawa! I really am enjoying the sense of mystery here. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Oh my god that was extremely fucking cruel. Dude just wanted to make his maps, it was all he had. ;_; I'm glad he could still muster up the will to live. It's very pleasant to see such a nice guy in a world like that. |

I love the feeling of vastness from these landscape shots. It's beautiful! The new guy is okay. He reminds me of Hal Emmerich for some reason. |
   |
| Finally there's other person besides them! The guy live alone for a long time?? That's scary! but he still leave them 😞 why?!!!!! |
 |
| I thought Kanazawa might be a bad guy who will steal their vehicle and belongings. Good thing he isn't. And even helped the get fuel. I feel bad for him though, he lost his map. I wonder if they will meet again. |

| Eyy another level, another road. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| finally more info on their geography... it appeared to have tiers of society |
| This anime is WAY better than people have put it off as. It's like a big long movie. Very high quality and pretty/beautiful. Damn, people should've been reccing this more backinthaday. So much existentialist angst against nature and environment. |
| They finally meet another survivor. The view and scenery in this anime are so nice. Felt bad for Kanazawa tho he lost all his maps going up that darn elevator. |
 |
| It's kinda weird to see a throwaway character in such setting. Don't know how I feel about it. I guess you just shouldn't take this show very seriously. But then again, the guy just goes off to die after he lost the only thing that was important to him - this doesn't really fit well with simply "relaxing" SOL. |
| Good episode. I still see Kanazawa has the same dead inside looks from before lol. His hobby is interesting too, would also help out a world like this a ton. |
| Ah, there's finally a new character. He didn't eel like a waste, or well at least he wasn't a boring side character. Overall this episode felt pretty relaxing~ |

Nordhammer said: HereticHunter said: Then, that means that everything were exactly as I had expected when I saw the trailer and the synopsis. I now know why I can't enjoy this anime. You may want to re-watch these first three episodes and listen to what the girls say and how their voice actors say their lines. This is a iyashikei slice of life,you're meant to ponder how the girls can find enjoyment,happiness in carrying on their daily lives. In this episode Chito and Yuuri both ask and semi-answer what they are living on for,life-hardly " nihilistic" Did you not watch the girls risk their own lives to save the mapmaker's? Did you not see the girls lecture the mapmaker of the value of life and living on? Yuuri pointing her gun at Chito was an act and Chito responded in kind,both were playing at "war" period.So NO Yuuri is not,nor ever,going to kill Chito over food. Think of Girls's Last Tour as K-On! with a depressing setting. No murder,no bloody mayhem,no rape,no treachery;nothing of the sort happens in Girls's Last Tour.- just think K-On! with a depressing setting. The setting as told by the anime- Once there was an ancient civilization which all but wiped out all life on the planet due to a vast war over the remaining few resources and living space. The survivors started civilization over,living amongst the ruins of the old civilization and for more than 100 tears now each generation loses more and more knowledge and their populations dwindle. Oh and another war broke out,humanity right? I get and agree with what you're saying here, but I also get where HereticHunter is coming from ~ the combination just isn't very thematically cohesive. The world and its aesthetic is great and carries the little moments towards the end of each episode, but going from the silly OP to "Why are we alive?" to ultimately stakeless dramatic moments because CGDCT doesn't mesh with what's going on visually, isn't hooking some of us in. I'm not saying it's bad or anything, but at this point I'd say Humanity Has Declined's take on a cute apocalypse worked way better. |
| it was OKAY, at least there was some tension this time |
| I can really feel the potential of this show, the atmosphere, setting and world all feel intriguing. I really hope this show uses his interesting setting properly and takes a dark turn as it has the potential to hit hard, I would be a little disappointed if this was just a straight Slice of Life all the way through. |

| That building falling could give them mesothelioma, but after bathing in pipe water and eating fish from a run-off, and burning metal with fuel, their toxin exposure is already to the moon. I wish the cartographer had continued to travel with them. My first instinct in a world like this would be to gather people together and build a little village. |

| This episode was fantastic. It was cool to see the girls interact with a new person and I appreciated the little things like calling back the time Yuu went all Fahrenheit 451, and especially Chi with her fear of heights. I thought especially her animation in that scene really sold it. Above all though, I think this episode did a phenomenal job of showing us why Yuu's mindset can actually be an asset in this kind of setting. Yes she's kind of idiot, but simplistic outlook allows her to just be content with existing, and in turn I think she helps Chi in ways we saw her help Kanazawa. Becuase I'm not quite sure what Chi would've said in that situation, if anything at all, to try and console him. I think as the story continues we'll see more examples of Yuu being this unexpected emotional rock for Chi. |
 This is actually a pretty depressing series all things considered, but the cute Hidamari Sketch-like character designs help to alleviate that bleakness. At first I was a bit turned off by the aesthetic, as I wouldn't normally associate cute designs with existential ponderings in a technological world beyond salvation, but it's somehow working. I guess the designs are easy on the eyes, allowing more attention to be given to what is being said and shown. Though, the character designs could potentially be distracting depending on the viewer, but as someone who is at least used to the general anime designs of the present time, the aesthetics of Girls' Last Tour don't really phase me, which allows me to watch the show without getting distracted by small nitpicks for too long. The talk about the meaning of life and the reason for living was kind of glossed over, but it was later brought back up to bring the episode into full circle. Is it more meaningful to have a specific purpose in life to work towards, such as Kanazawa's cartography? Is it better to have no particular purpose like Chi, where you don't have any particular goals, and thus nothing in particular fear losing? There's probably no one answer, and both aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but as far as post-apocalyptic world building and exploration goes, it sets the show up for a Kino's Journey-esque frame of mind. We're watching characters travel from place to place, meeting different people and internalizing each encounter to gain a better understanding of the world. Well, perhaps not specifically to learn more about the world, but to at least satisfy fleeting curiosities. Girls' Last Tour teeters between traveling to learn and traveling to survive. There's no clear goal yet, but perhaps there doesn't need to be one. |
| The scenery was just breath taking and I felt like I was up high as well. But no offense but the lad missed a huge opportunity to ra ape them. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| If I was the guy, as soon as we reached the top of the tower I wouldve went back down and spent idk how long TO GET MY MAPS BACK. Because ain't no way ima lose years and years of work. |
  |
| Wow never thought gonna meet another survivor. Very interesting world building concept with the layers. NOOO not the Map... Poor Kanazawa. Why he is not trying to go back down to look for his Map? |
