This quite a heavy episode T_T

I do love this style of mix animation.
From CGI to frame by frame illustration boards artwork.

Doesn't it, like, feel cheap? As if they tried to cut corners on direction, transitions and animations. This might look unique, but I am incredibly doubtful they are doing this for artistic purposes.

Whatever the reason it comes off as highly artistic, very unique aesthetically. Limitation birth greatness sometimes.

Just recently got into this show because some people recommended it to me

Different anime brings more views.

Archie you quick great comment as always.

Ty ^^

You are welcome Archie.

Yeah it was mind "blowing" alright.

Why everyone is generally annoyed with everything and acts like a prick to each other.

Lol, they should probably stop watching anime then and get their ass to work, if that's the case

My brother in Christ, he was clearly talking about the people in the anime not the commenters. The train workers seem salty as hell as was the injured bride and her sister in the previous episode.

Ohh... I just assumed their was some beef in the comment section.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Ty 😂

Has the OP song for this anime been existing since long ago?
Why does it sounds so nolstagic?

Probably because of the tone of it feels like to you eternity openings

No, not the tons of Fumetsu no Anata that I felt.
I don't know how to explain it.

I felt like it was considering how emotional it was

No, not about that.
Something more like the way the song is sung.

Same singer I assume :o
But idk tbh

I just tried to remember so hard, but I can't remember.
And so I went to listen to songs by Leo Ieri only to find that her songs are damn enjoyable. It is probably one of her songs in the past that reminded me of this feeling for the song.

yeah it feels familiar, but no clue where from.

Oh okay then

Gets paid what we are told is a very large sum to escort her to the capital, then treats her like shit, makes her clean toilets all day, and kicks her off at the first opportunity.

This guy is getting a poor rating from the Better Business Bureau! D:<

Really like the addition of drawings in some scenes

Now this a well balance mix of a anime.

Just like Boochi The Rock of last season... This one will do the same this season.

Reminds me of to you eternity

This has a To Your Eternity, Deer King, and Kabonari mix to this show.

Ah

it's a bit unconventional, but yeah me too. But i can't help to think that it might be the result of production issues, along with the heavy use of stills, reused scenes, CG, and the overall quality of some sequences. Fortunately the CG's not too bad because it's only used for objects and not characters

yeah, the chief needs to sit down and think a minute about this. he made an AGREEMENT, took PAYMENT, and now he's violating that agreement. in a society on the brink like this, you break your word somebody's going to kill you and replace you. i hope one of his subordinates walks up behind him, brains him with a wrench, and keeps the girl on the 'truck'. because those 'trucks' are too important to the world as it is for an idiot who won't keep his word to run them. did anybody teach the girl NOT to get off the truck? did anybody LOCK that hatch to keep the bride from going outside? if not? then slap the idiot(s) upside the head who was SUPPOSED to do both of those and punish HIM not the girl or the bride.

also, the fire hunter should get that stick out of his a$$ and properly ASK the girl to use HER hound on his hunt. she's not the owner? bull$hit. the dead hunter GAVE the hound to HER and the hound listened. get a modicum of respect for other people's property and dying wishes you a$$. what would that fire hunter do if the girl's hound got hurt, or killed, or maimed so it could not hunt anymore? apologize? pay wergild to the girl and/or the dead hunter's family?

i've spent more than enough years of my life working in 3rd world countries to realize what 'this type' of environment does to human beings.

if this show keeps up like this, i won't keep going with it past the 3rd episode.

I do agree with you that the adults in the show are pretty scummy, but a contract can fail from both sides. For instance, you can pay for a flight, but when you start a brawl in the plane, you might get kicked out of it before it even takes off...

Still, I would have been more lenient to this girl, but I would make it abundandly clear that she can't disobey orders like that when lifes are at stake. I wouldn't run after her to save her. This could end up in more people dying and the train becoming inoperable in the worst case leaving them stranded in hostile territory...

Speaking of 3rd world countries, what behaviour do you mean?
I've never been in one, though Germany really felt like one... I really hated that country. It used to be great, but it ressembles a S-hole country more and more with every day and I nearly got murdered in it for some petty reason and that's far from the only bad memory I got...

Anyway, I could think of three things you might have seen:
1) social darwinism (might makes right, ends justify the means...)
2) give someone power and you'll see his sins (that's why I dislike many cops, as they really suck at removing the bad apples)
3) a culture of envy. If you work hard to achieve something, everyone in your enviroment blames you for being arrogant and if you succeed they try to ruin it! That's typical for Africa, AFAIK, but I've seen 2 and 3 in abundance in Germany as well...

my experience in the 3rd world was working in Honduras for two US Army deployments to Honduras in 1996 and 97 on humanitarian aid missions. plus what i experienced during my combat deployment to Baghdad, Iraq in 2003. basically... living on the brink of death by starvation... owning only one pair of shoes that are so old you're holding them together with spit, wishes, and duct tape... your house is not built of straw or sticks but garbage you've scrounged... acres upon acres of land covered in leaking human waste treatment outflow because the sewers were destroyed... hourly rolling blackouts due to the power plants being overwhelmed and immensely outdated... catastrophic inflation to the point where if you didn't have a bucket or satchel FILLED with cash (or working for the 'foreigners' somehow) you weren't able to buy anything at all... livestock so emaciated by disease and starvation i found it nigh on miraculous they were ALIVE let alone wandering through bomb craters and through highland mountain jungles that didn't HAVE grass or what 'Westerners' think of as pastures.

i think of my experiences in the 3rd World as... what the US 'Wild Wild West' era could have been like... if ZERO law-order-or military presence was around. basically? if you want to stay alive? keep your guns loaded, well oiled, and close at hand ALL. THE. TIME. plus some edged weapons and blunt objects as well. because you WILL run out of ammo before you run out of folks trying to kill you for those screwed up shoes... because they have even LESS to live for than you do. get a group of folks with similar morals, ethics, or just plain GUTS together and FORT THE HELL UP! The Walking Dead, or The Last of Us types of situations... without the zombies.

And one more thing: these F-tards in the German government want to demolish all nuclear power plants and coal burning plants and their green energy is not just a huge disservice to nature, but utterly unreliable and when you dig into the data (which they no longer publish officially in reports, because it looks so bad), you know that it's a miracle that they haven't experienced a blackout yet and Germans are notoriously ignorant AF so that they bully preppers and have not even food for 3 days at home. When the Pipelines exploded, I was almost certain that now a million people would freeze to death because of their ginormous idiocy, but global warming apparently saved them... BTW: the million is not just a number pulled out of my butt. They made studies about how many casualties could be expected if Berlin went black for a few days and if you scale it up to all of Schland, then you get in that order of magnitude, though obviously country folks will have better times...

seriously? the coal plants i can slightly understand. especially the oldest ones that would take way WAY too much money to modernize and clean up their emissions. but nuclear too? that makes ZERO sense. the vocal 'anti-nuclear' folks here in the US easily get owned by scientists and engineers who handily explain that spent fuel rods can be safely stored with the proper processing. plus, many fuel rods can also be processed into OTHER materials... like Depleted Uranium ammunition for our military weaponry.

yup, alot of our politicians are wary of 'infrastructure decay' and TALK alot about improving the vulnerabilities inherent in a highly complex series of antiquated facilities and ultra-modern brand-new ones. the US State of California is heading for many brown-outs and even blackouts each Summer due to the shrinking tax base (folks are migrating OUT of California faster than the birth rate can compensate or new residents move in) is unable to support 'public works projects' or even normal corporate activities like investing in new power plants or improving older ones.

Yes, they made it a big thing after Fokushima and set a date until they want to get rid of them all. They then relied mostly on gas power plants, but thanks to probably our allies, the Germans are almost out of gas and their reserve power plants have to take over... The politicians keep insisting that they only need to build more solar and wind power, but fail to understand that there's no technology available to store that much energy for the Dunkelflaute (when there's not enough light, nor wind to get significant power from renewable energy). Someone calculated that if they use water power to store said energy, they would need to flood 1/3rd of Germany, as they don't have enough valleys with sufficient differences in altitude, compared to e.g. Norway. Moreover, the sunlight hours are very much depending on the region even in a relatively small country like Germany and wind is mostly found in the North, whereas the power consumption is mostly in the very south... Plus, I frigging hate it when environmentalists destroy entire forests to build solar farms and set up so many huge windmills that keep killing birds... They would be so much better off with nuclear energy and even if all Germans rolled over and died over night, then that saved CO2 wouldn't make any difference thanks to other countries blowing it out as if there's no tomorrow and TBH, I'm not even certain if CO2 is really that bad, or rather a symptom of the problem, rather than its cause... Plus, I don't trust the long term temperature prognosis any further than long term weather forcasts or stock market price forecasts... Still, human effect is very real, but if they want to do something about it, then they need to address the problems at the root and not do such silly self-sacrifices...
BTW: only two days ago, the power grid suffered of massive spikes and drops that 14x they needed to start emergency protocolls to save the grid! (AFAIK, the frequency must at all costs stay between 49.5 and 50.5 Hz)

well you reap what you sow, when the worst happens and the politicians are sitting in the dark arguing who's fault it is by candlelight MAYBE they will figure out they were wrong. and using Fuku as a reason? ohmyeffinggod... that is just the most idiotic reason ever! i can't remember the last time i read about an earthquake in Europe. Krakatoa exploding? Pompeii? well... Iceland with their volcano several years back... but otherwise... i don't remember.

birds actually learn about wind farms quite quickly. the ones in the US at least, maybe the EU birds need some foreign exchange program so they can learn from our birds? :> heh! :> golden eagles have even nested many times on wind-mills over here. the repairmen have to check them periodically anyways so finding the occasional eagle nest and relocating the 'squatters' elsewhere is an issue. storing wind energy... it is all a weather and geography thing... prevailing wind directions, day night cycles, land shapes funneling/channeling the wind/mountains plains etc. it is a big wonky scientifical thing i don't fully understand.

now SOLAR farms yep. one of the huge pundits for solar farms 30 years ago here in the US reversed TOTALLY his position after working to push for solar for 30 years. he PERONSALLY was researching how to put them, where to put them, how they should be scattered... and he ran into dozens of LOCAL biologists who opened his eyes to the DRASTIC impact that locating a solar farm had in a PRISTINE wilderness area. even a scrub desert. roads, even dirt ones, infrastructure to move the electricity and change it, maintenance and construction causing erosion and loss of animal and plant habitat... sure... many animals can move or migrate or even come back to the area after the solar farm is built... but it won't be EXACTLY the same environment the animals and plants are used to. imagine if you were a little tortoise... just big enough to comfortably be kept in a baseball cap... i forget their name right now... but those small fellows were DRASTICALLY depopulated in the American West due to solar farms. they just happened to live in areas that got tons of steady cloud-free sunny days.

hydroelectricity... yeah. so many environmental impacts it is INSANE to think of how anybody could build a new dam today.

what i love about climate change is this: Anders Celsius, who developed his temperature scale in 1742 and in 1724 the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit proposed his. i won't get into Kelvin... that one is scientifical guys only. ;) so everybody Metric uses C and it is now... 281 years old. well... i won't get further into the history of C being accepted and whatnot. we'll just SAY it is 281. so our 'weather' data recording EXACT temperatures is SLIGHTLY older than the USA is. :> one of the 'youngest' countries around. sure, geologists and archeologists are increasing our 'prehistoric data' incrementally since the 1700's and further forwards, glacial ice drilling, permafrost measurements, satellites photographing everything on Earth and recording temperature and weather data by the bucketload every second of the day, historians reading diaries and whatnot, newspapers recording daily conditions locally around the world. so sure, there is a LOT of data out there... TOO MUCH DATA in fact. but! it IS relatively NEW data compared to THE AGE OF THE ENTIRE PLANET! now. basic thought and common sense tells us, even little kids learn this one. 2/3 of the surface of Earth is covered in water... humans don't live in or on water 'easily'. so, our 'impact' on worldwide temperatures... is probably minimal at best. i watched one interview with a vulcanologist... those nut-jobs who go INTO volcanoes to learn stuff! ONE minor eruption, just like Hawaii sees every. day. of. the. year! with free-flowing lava. releases more STUFF from inside the Earth than humans can PRODUCE in 20 YEARS! sulfur. CO2. acids. methane. it boggles MY mind the amount of STUFF volcanoes are releasing into the atmosphere BY THE HOUR! around the world. but WE are making the world warmer? JUST us? :> so if ONE volcano can put out 20 YEARS of human 'impact' in ONE year... why aren't we plugging up the volcanoes? :> big corks are too expensive? :>

Actually, I had experienced an earthquake just last year. It clocked in at 4.7, with the epicenter in Mulhouse, France/Alsace, which is quite remarkable, but it didn't do much damage. I was one hour away from the epicenter and it felt like a 10ft guy walking past me through the room. 5 distinct steps heavier than any human could be from one side of the room to the other in about 5s. It spooked me a little until I realised that it was an earthquake... I can only remember two more earthquakes and both of them felt like a cat jumping onto the sofa next to you and that's it.

The last serious erathquake in the region was 1356 and it had an estimated power of 6-7 on the Richterscale. It levelled Basel (Switzerland) and no less than 40 castles in the region (thus doing more damage than the peasant uprisings later which burnt a lot of castles). The estimated bodycount is somewhere around 1000. It should be noted though that only few people lived in cities back then and even fewer lived in stone buildings and pretty much no one lived in multi-story flats...
Timber frame buildings (Fachwerk) are surprisingly resilient towards earthquakes and floods. It takes a LOT to make them collapse. I've seen some where the ground floor was knocked out except for the vertical pillars and the upper floors remained unchanged! Another one had a collapsed first floor (apparently due to rot) and the ground floor and the two upper floors were still in decent shape. Brick and stone buildings on the other hand don't stand a chance... (knock out one floor and the pancaking starts) Thus, it would probably kill 100x more people today due to the population density and our habit of using bricks. The idea scares me a bit, as I have no illusions about my flat, which already has big cracks from the fundation sinking (they made the mistake of drying a river and building an entire street worth of multi-story flats housing on top the very edge of where the river used to be).

well color me surprised. :o i thought Europe was pretty stable tectonically. the Fuku quake was a 7.4 sounds like that would be a rarity for you guys. :D

It surprised me too. LOL. Technically, when you see mountains or a gorge, then there's a good chance of tectonic plates waiting to shake you up... However, the Alpes and the Pyrenees are thankfully rather tame, compared to Turkey, or Japan (and the West of the USA, though the latter has little to do with mountains).

Shoes have somehow become a meme. They are referenced e.g. in The Witcher 3, but I've heard plenty of stories of Wehrmacht soldiers heating up frozen Soviet Soldiers in order to get their attire for themselves... Plus, during every starvation cycle, people eat their boots, literally...
Speaking of people willing to murder you and my hate for Germany, here just a few things that happened this year in Schland: (short for Sch3!ss Land, or deliberately butchered Deutschland)

1) a girl laughed about something in school and two of her classmates thus decided to ambush her on her way home and kidnap her. They then played Art the Clown and when she was found, the cop finding her had to frigging QUIT! The autopsy revealed that they had stabbed her at least 75 times and apparently oblitterated her face as well. I don't have the details as they tried to cover it up. Now the kicker: the girls were quickly found, but they turned out to be below 14, which means that they cannot be criminally prosecuted! The cherry on top: they investigated their internet activities in order to find a motive. What they found was them filming themselves, dancing, goofing around, and laughing (I believe on Tictoc) and that directly after the murder!

2) one retireree was stumbling about with a caved in skull and was brought into hospital, where he fell into a coma. His skulls was dented in to such a degree that it's miracle that he didn't die instantly. They found out that the perps were home invaders, who again were too young to be prosecuted! They attacked him with baseball bats and a crowbar. They apparently went to town on him out of frustrationt hat they found only a handful of Euros, which itself isn't surprising as German retirees are infamously broke AF to the point that they are known to collect empty bottles to collect the return coins! Plus, to make it even more tragic: it was the THIRD time in a year that he had been invaded at home!

3) One young woman went home from Disco and got gang R-ed. She was lying on the cold dirt and that was her mistake, she should have gotten up ASAP and GTFO, but instead she was basking in her own misery until another group of youths found her and gave her a round 2! They filmed her whole ordeal and uploaded it on the Internet!

I can supply news articles for each of these stories!

Each of them flames my homicidal urges and it pisses me the F off that the people who defend themselves get punished by the full extend of the law, because it's never an appropriate level of force, even if you pick up a 2 inch Swiss Army knife to stab the guy who is jumping on your dads head (a guy with shelf-meters of criminal records, yes, another true story, but one that is probably 15 years old, the end was that he was charged with attempted murder, while the serial thug got off lightly because he was under drugs)

wow. :o considering it is a ... hmm ... tragic argument for and against... and often gets lots of press... charging a minor for murder and trying them as an adult here in the US isn't unheard of... but it has to be one of those criminal cases where the 'child' shows enough mental capacity to formulate some kind of plan that places the 'child' in an intellect bracket that would suggest to the average grand jury participant the 'child' deserves adult punishment.

What makes it even worse is that I see no way of fixing them. It's one thing living with little to no empathy, but when kids do such heinous crimes fully knowing the consequences and finding it funny, then, there's absolutely no hope. I imagine them being in and out of prison for the rest of their lives and racking up one heinous crime after the other... We Europeans have unfortunately abolished the death penalty and our prisons are overfilled. I wish it was only about such cases where a child murders his bully (thinking of Nevada-tan) or intervenes when his mother gets beaten up, because as sad as such cases are, there's a good chance that the kid can still become a decent human. However, such cases are actually really rare compared to wanton murder...

Ugh, why does that factory "president" give me such bad vibes?! It reminds me of a particular flashback from the Plunderer manga, and the manor lowkey reminds me of the Armstrongs' town house in FMA/B.
Oh, he wants the boy to make him weapons to take over the country 😒

Might give this show a shot

The CGI in this anime is great.

Are the dogs supposed to have the power to fly, or is it just artistic interpretation? lol
(translation for the ape: my pain is far greater than youuuurs)

Kicking a 11 year old child off the train might as well be sentencing her to death.

Wowww was she told the do not get out rule???
And how come the ladies don’t get to work??? They shouldn’t be hold up in that tiny freaking room!
