In the fall of 2017, Girls Last Tour received a 12 episode anime adaptation by White fox studios. The anime was immediately met with a positive perception by both people who had read the manga and people who were new viewers. The anime has cultivated an almost cult following, as the setting, characters and wold of the manga really come to life with colour, movement and sound. The music should get a special mention as many moments of the manga are fulfilled with wonderfully composed tunes that match and advance the experience of the scene. This sentiment also applies to the Girls Last Tour opening and ending themes. Absolute bangers! And the ending theme's animation is done by non-other than Tsukumizu themselve! Amazing! The Girls Last Tour anime adaptation added a lot of personality to the characters by way of the voice actors performance. Chito's stoic and intelligent curiosity and Yuuri's care-free obvious nature are both portrayed wonderfully.
The one downfall possible downfall of the anime adaptation is that is doesn't adapt to the manga's ending. This was partly because of the manga, at the time of its airing, not actually being compleated yet. It's a real shame that the conclusion to Girls Last Tour wasn't animated, because it's one of the most discussed endings to a manga in recent memory. But it couldn't be helped. The anime ends on a good note, it feels conclusive and satisfying, despite the characters not actually having reached their intended destination.
The Girls Last Tour really captures the spirit of its source material and delivers on an interesting story with good animation, music, directing, backgrounds and overall style. I can definitely recommend this anime people how are interested in this series and want to see a well-adapted story that stays faithful to the original manga.
