Shuumatsu Touring, which is the title of this anime in Romaji. 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 most, then you may run into issues and may end up being frustrated in watching. But if you are more interested in seeing these various tourist attractions in a more SoL story, you may really enjoy this one.
As someone who read the manga, the anime is a notable step up in art direction compared to the manga. Which is a pleasant surprise. Also solid animation and music to boot. I listed this as a mixed review because I could see that not getting answers could frustrate some people watching this show. But if you are not intent on getting those answers, you can have a great time with this one.
I rate it 7/10.
