The Lost Village starts with an enormous cast and some serious Lost (the famous TV series) vibes. It ends abruptly, with very few answers and everyone alive*. Between these two points, the character basically argue and manipulate each other in childish ways, instead of actually paying attention to their surroundings and wondering how come this place had anything they could possibly need to survive, besides some serious infrastructure, which implies it was accessible by train and bus, which means it was, at some point, on a map.
I point out this nitpicky bit of information because it is the least spoilery thing I can use in order to say the obvious thing about this series: everyone in it is dumb. Some are dumber than others, but you couldn't make a single smart person by pooling all 30 of them together. And do you know what kind of stories have a large cast of dumb people? B horror movies.
And that is how you should treat this anime, if you intend to watch it at all. As a B horror movie filled with dumb people, unintended humor and moments in which said people make The Worse Decision. Sadly, unlike B horror movie people, the cast's bad decisions hardly ever hurt them or anyone near them. It just makes them argue some more.
* Is it wrong that I longed for the death of half the cast?
