Girls' Last Tour (Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoko)

[keijikiriya]

Hey everyone!

Really enjoyed Girls' Last Tour from this season, and I'm caught up on the Manga (which has ended) and the Anime. Would anyone be interested in a panel on this show? It's pretty much done (aside from some additional stuff the author is promising for the physical manga release) and we might as well strike while the iron is hot. 

Suggested topics:

1. How the world get like this? What events occurred to make this happen? 
2. Why is the technology this weird anachronistic mix? 
3. What do you think of the ending? Like it? Dislike it? 
4. Where do we go from here? 
5. What do you think about Tsukumizu? 
6. Nihilism and existentialism as a theme

Cheers!

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm also interested in finding people to do this with, so if you want to be a panelist, let's try and work something out.

Heck yes I’d love to attend this panel! Hope you do it!

This show was so healing. Did the anime cover the manga's ending? I liked the anime's ending.

I really liked it because it was a healing show that played with "despair" and "hopelessness" in interesting ways. The visual contrast of this ruined cityscape with the two girls was fantastic. 

The anime didn't cover the manga's ending. It brought us up to Chapter 32 of the manga. The last Chapter was 42, which ends on a different note than the anime ending. Personally, they did end in the right place given the material they had at the time.

I suggest renaming this thread to only be the Japanese or English name of the series, in case you hit a character limit.

Actually, it did, though in a very sneaky way. Watch the anime ending animation again.
