The series was inspired by a manga Ishiguro read in university with the intention of making it
different from his previous work, And Yet the Town Moves, and portray a proper dynamic between the two leads as well as the evil they face. The manga has been received positively, with praise given to its sense of mystery and character relationships. The anime adaptation has received a similar
response for its focus on relationships and gender issues. Plot[edit] In the outside world, 15 years have passed since an unprecedented disaster completely destroyed modern civilization. A group of children live in a facility isolated from the outside world. One day, one of them, a girl named Tokio, receives a message that says "Do you want to go outside of the outside?" Mimihime, another girl who lives in the same facility, has a prediction and tells the upset Tokio that two people will come from the outside to save her, one of whom has the same face as her, while the director of the school tells her that the outside world is Hell. Meanwhile, a boy named Maru, who looks just like Tokio, is traveling through this devastated Japan with a girl named Kiruko, in search of Heaven. Characters[edit] Main[edit] Maru (マル) Voiced by: Gen Satō[2] (Japanese); Jonathan Leon[3] (English) A 15-year-old boy who is traveling together with Kiruko. He is skilled in martial arts. Kiruko (キルコ) / Haruki (春希) A young woman around 18 to 20 years old who travels with Maru. She is searching for both the doctor who performed an operation on her and a friend she knew.
However, the last three episodes are actually incredible, almost enough for me to give this show a positive score. One long fight scene (minus a small break to wrap up Soul's character arc), and it's gorgeous. A bit of Evangelion-inspired diving into the mind, and it's just about perfect.
And that's my review. Very sparse on details, but that's because (1) the first seventeen episodes are so good that you should watch them blind (that's why I don't review stuff that I like), and (2) everything else was so boring that I couldn't pay attention. Watch the first third, don't bother with anything else.
