Touring at the end of The world....Touring was part of it sure.But the Schizophrenic paranoia from the MC was also a big part of it.
This is a travel anime.Usually my cup of tea if i am being honest.Although usually travel anime would feel far better in a fantasy setting.But this one is set in a post-apocaliptic world so that hits just as good. So the ideea is there,the setup is there.... What about the execution? Jesus Christ no.
This anime has all the ingridients to cook a full course meal but it burns the kitchen down.The main and biggest issue is this show just tries to start too many plotlines in a short 12 episode format.And it delivers on absolutely none of them. First and foremost is what the hell actually happend with the world that there's literally nobody else alive on the pla…

I will start by saying this show is a Moe first and foremost, there is not really going to be this deep and impactful storyline that is going to keep you at suspense. However, watching this is truly a fever dream as the next series of events pop up, it will just go in a completely different direction that keep you on your toes a little. It was very interesting to watch and it was the first show I've binge-watched with my friend in over 5 years. I would recommend it for anyone as it's a decent introduction to Moe as it's pace is very friendly for most viewers.

Shuumatsu Touring is an anime full of wasted potential that, in the end, leaves a lot to be desired. It starts by drawing the viewer in with a unique blend of chill, ambient travel and worldbuilding with dark, uneasy undertones. It raises all the right questions but answers none of them. Ultimately, while Shuumatsu Touring definitely had its moments, it ends as a forgettable mess.
The main premise of the show and how it’s introduced is actually quite good. Two girls, Yoko and Airi, travel through a post-apocalyptic Japan. What the show initially does well is contrasting the sheer joy the girls experience seeing the world for the first time with the remnants of civilization and the dangers of a post-apocalyptic setting. That mix of vibes, shifting between haunting and peaceful, is rarely s…

This Is Not a Cute Post-Apocalypse Travel Anime
If you think this is a cozy road trip through the ruins of Japan, you are already watching it the wrong way.
If you’re going into Touring After the Apocalypse expecting a soft, atmospheric “let’s explore Japan after the end of the world” series, you should recalibrate immediately. That framing is not wrong — it’s incomplete.
Yes, the show is quiet.
Yes, it’s visually gentle.
Yes, it lingers on empty cities, animals, music, and routine. But this is not a slice-of-life anime set after an apocalypse.
This is a psychological work disguised as one.
From the very first episode, the series establishes contradictions it never rushes to resolve. Warnings and environments do not align. Systems insist on danger while the world behaves as if it has…

Strangely effective, complicated tones of wonder and optimism — layered throughout with a sort of gnawing sorrow. The series takes its time and leaves a mark, despite being gentle and upbeat on the surface. It's an unusual one, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
It uses my personal favorite style of apocalypse design: reclaimed by nature. The world has ended, and the world has just begun. The landscape is lush and green and teeming with life after the end of civilization. The art really pulls you in, offering equal measures of sadness, beauty, and mystery. There's a loving attention paid to each ruined building, and hints of untold stories can be glimpsed in all of the weird, quiet corners and distant calamities of the world. Not even the Moon has survived unchanged. I really enjoy the visu…

Shuumatsu Touring. Shuumatsu has a bit of wordplay in Japanese. It can both mean "weekend" and also "the end." This fully demonstrates what this series is about. We got two girls, Youko & Airi touring. They are touring in a post-apocalyptic setting. You might think of many questions like, what happened to the world? Why is it like this?
However, the series also means weekend touring. This is the true atmosphere of the series. Weekends are meant to be relaxing and comfortable, and this is what this series tries to aim for. Essentially this show is what you expect in a touring show around Japan, just in a post-apocalyptic setting.
This is a show that will set up various things but isn't too interested in giving you many answers right away. So if the post-apocalyptic theme interests you mos…

As a big fan of travel anime, I was excited hearing about Touring After the Apocalypse for the first time. To my surprise this anime exceeded my expectation. It was wholesome, exciting, myterious, funny and emotional. Spoiler warning
First off, one of the biggest strength is it post-apocalypse setting. The world isn’t a new created world, it is based on real life locations, which makes this show work similar like Laid-Back Camp or ZatsuTabi but in comparison to them, the interaction with the visited places are way different because everything is overgrown by nature, animals and without humans anywhere. This makes it very unique, especially because the implementation of this post-apocalypse world is so beliveable and authentic. For example the protagonists Yoko and Airi visited Akihabara…

Touring After the Apocalypse — Well, if you want Girls' Last Tour-like adventure and mystery, I'm sorry, but you've found yourself in the wrong post-apocalyptic world.
Try searching the word "post-apocalyptic," and see how many results you can get from a word that speaks of the bare unknown, of worlds broken apart from some world-defining disaster that leaves brutal marks of how humanity has all but been wiped off the face of the Earth, replaced with other potential beings for a society that doesn't feel human at all, when Earth still strikes of human creation. That's what series like mangaka Tsukumizu's Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou a.k.a. Girls' Last Tour, attempt to do, and the stark results from both the manga and anime's reception when the latter debuted way back in fall 2017 truly show of…
