Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? • Train to the End of the World - Episode 1 discussion

I really really wish this were better. The premise is interesting and I like the tone of surrealist comedy with dark undertones, but the writing was just so bad. Every little thing was explained to death and it seemed like the anime didn't trust us to infer much of anything. Ultimately I don't think this has the ability to deliver on its promises, even though I really would like it to. Because it's an anime-original, I'll stick with it for another episode or two and see if it finds its legs, but I don't have a lot of hope.

Overall, a mixed 3/5, with a lot of room to grow.

I'm not sure where this one is going.

It's a setup episode to a strange apocalyptic version of our world, and push our cute girl protagonists onto a train to search for their long lost friend, who was at the center of the apocalypse when everything went weird.

The dialogue is snappy, and the art is well drawn.

The tone is more than just a little melancholy as the adults have become animals, are losing their humanity, and even the Mad Max-inspired delivery service around them is breaking down.

One episode isn't enough to judge this series, but it looks interesting.

This one is interesting. There ware great comedic timings and good jokes but there weren't any time to breathe. A lot of info dumping and snappy editing. This feels like subway surfers tiktok with voice-over. Maybe this was made to milk clips on short form video platforms.

Is this pedo-bear??? I don't think so as original pedo-bear had different meaning.

I was hoping for CGDCT on a train or Mystery but this is neither.

So the whole premise is 'anime Elon Musk destroys the world'? lmao

Sure, why not? It looks interesting.

Looks bizarre and I'm here for it
