The Yamaha XT225, or known in some markets as the Yamaha Serow (from the Japanese serow), was a dual-sport motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1986 to 2007. The XT225 was preceded and superseded by the XT250. Power is supplied by a 223cc single-cylinder, air-cooled four-stroke engine featuring a SOHC and 2 valves. The engine produces 15 kW of power and 19Nm of torque. The XT225 has a reputation for being a lightweight dual-purpose motorcycle which is suited to many applications.

>>282945918I hope this manga gets an actual adaptation someday now that it has ended. It is such an underrated series, and I don't know why it didn't become more popular. It had an official English release, it is the canonical prequel to Ghost in the Shell (it was written and supervised by Shirow himself), and it is a pretty solid sci-fi story.

Bad show.

sad episode
There is nothing more immersion breaking than having Subaru's faggot VA voice a robo daddy who is a middle aged dude's copy. Fuck the producers for casting this nigga into everything
>>282947798>>282946481I´m starting to think that what happened was a nuclear war, and produced mutations on the animals.

well, at least he's back with his family

>>282948581looking at the ED and this, these are like, giant orbital death ray lasers, this is not what a nuclear explosion looks like
>>282948625Yeah, you didn't expect to feel sad about a robot today, did you? The author seems to have a knack for this.
>>282948723>Yeah, you didn't expect to feel sad about a robot today, did you?>author is just microdosing the readers with sad robot deaths as they build up to killing off airi at the end

So in the end he got wrecked on a bike accident?
>>282949735how is that ntr
I wanted the show to have some more melencholic and downbeat moments... i did not expect it to deliver so soon and in such a potent way...This is a good show
Honestly this one is disappointing and boring so far.I hope they will not doing the cheapest dramatic ending with the robot dying and I'm still not convinced that the other girl is an actual human.
>>282949828It just is.
>>282949861There is no romance whatsoever
>>282949861Now we move onto the touring.
>>282949861yeah she is definitely a robot> keeps calling the girl on the phone her sister> she looks the same age in those "flashbacks"> she still looks like a teenager after god knows how many years have passed since the end of the world> before going on this roadtrip they were living in a bunker with no humans around
Hold me bros..
this show is frustratingI like the premise, the backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, and I can even forgive the heavy use of 3DCGbut the elevator-music-tier BGM and utterly uninspired and barely competent cinematography and direction just bring it down to mediocrity I'm still watching it which makes it the second best show this season so far, but still
Wait, so it really was a plesiosaurus, that thing in the background back in episode one.
>>282950468>plesiosaurusPic related.
>>282950402It kind of feels like watching Kino 2017 again, the story carries it hard and the presentation isn't actually that bad, but I can't help feeling like it deserves an adaptation that's actually good.
>>282947893>the Gargantia routeOh, I'd love that
>>282950402What's the best?
Oh no, was this an undercover tourism ad all along?
>>282950653that and also an ad for the bike
>>282950653every anime about going places (japan) is a tourism ad
>>282950682Nah, that's just a love letter to Bakuon. They don't even make Serows anymore.But fuck, if Yamaha made a light electric dual sport I'd be so into that.
>>282950653>What was Yokohama famous for again?It was 'shopping logs, i think.
Every piece of background information they provide paints this world in a very dark way, but the show does a pretty decent job of balancing it out, thanks to the protagonist being such a cheerful character and the tone being so lighthearted.
>>282950653Chinatown? The Cup Ramen Museum? I barely know shit about Yokohama other than its near Tokyo and the second most populated city in Japan
>>282948581>>282948645My guess is an AI uprising that turned the world's military (bombs, tanks, satellite lasers, what have you) against humanity to wipe it out.>>282951326Agreed. This show does do many little things that make it feel charming and comfy, even if there's clearly a layer of melancholy underneath.
damn, I can't believe Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki became a fucking CYBORG
>>282951842I thought about that too, but he might just be some dude whose parents were big fans and named him after the baseball player. I think both of those names are fairly common in Japan anyways.
>>282950653>What was Yokohama famous for again?
I love how much this show communicates information with barely any words, or by relying instead on its visuals. I also appreciate how much it implies about the former state of the world without relying on overly long exposition dumps. For example, you can already guess the guy worked in the navy before they reveal it, and the casual "Are you going back to work tomorrow?" tells you everything you need to know about how disposable human life was seen at the time. Even after receiving surgery needed for a patient who sustained severe physical damage, he was still dispatched not soon after. It's a shame he didn't join the cast, although the whole "life is a series of meetings and goodbyes" is basically a trademark for these types of shows, so it comes as no surprise. He had a pretty solid conclusion, too, so it's hard to complain too much about it.
>>282952415I agree whole heartedly with your post and do not have much to add but I wanted you to get a (You) for it
>>282951830>AI uprisingOoh, that would be on theme but also a big departure from what we've seen out of robutts so far, I like it.
>Big-ass explanation followed by marine animal starting to mutate due to endocrine disruptors.
>bot that doesn't realize that its a bot
>>282950782Except Nagoya Catgirl.
>>282948581>>282948645>>282951830don't think nukes are involved, i think something caused a shift in the electromagnetic poles and everything to went haywire, that explains the radiation levels, rising sea levels, volcanic activity, hell maybe the moon was involved somehow, point is it was something big enough for humans to disappear (evacuate?) but not enough to destroy everything
I'M NOT CRYING
>>282953048>for humans to disappearBased on the flashback at the start of the episode, it is likely that people are living in vaults now.
>>282953193>damn bitch you live like this?
Is this the Super Cub of the Girl's Last Tour genre? or is it simply kino?
wow same style as kage no jitsuryokusha picked up
>>282950402Yeah, unfortunately the visuals of this show are bottom barrel. Uninspired character animation and art, the same over-compositing with bloom effects to cover up a lack of basic cinematography and art direction, etc. I can't help but compare it to Girls' Last Tour and Heavenly Delusion, two buddy post-apocalypse series with more unique art in both the manga and anime department and feel like the artstyle and overall execution of what are solid story beats are holding it back.
>>282953368yes
>>282945495You have pretty shit imagination then.
>>282948541>>282947798/u//u//u//u/
>>282950650Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritaiit has like 50 yen budget but it has SOUL
>>282944434Easily the best non-sequel show of the season, great ep 2.
>>282953457>Heavenly DelusionWasn't that adaptation also kind of shit? I dropped it pretty early.
>>282947655I don't think that PSP will still function after all those years.
>>282953457Yeah, I hate the over-reliance on post-processing effects. The visuals are, sadly, the weakest aspect of the show. >Girls' Last TourGLT is like the complete opposite; its atmosphere was one of its strongest aspects. Despite being post-apocalyptic, the world felt alive and believable. I also like that the setting wasn't just Earth... but with overgrown plants and animals everywhere. Tsukumizu created a world that truly feels unique and has a personality of its own. It didn't surprise me to learn that she was inspired by Blame!
>>282954261>she
>>282953963No, it was quite standout in its art direction and a great adaptation of the artist's artstyle. There was one episode where they had a bunch of Trigger staff feature for some reason (gif not related) and got divided responses from the audience but otherwise the animation was super consistent the whole time.>>282954261>sheThe Girls Last Tour author is a degenerate male. Not to knock on his talent for storytelling or anything, check out his twitter and you'll know it's just an objective fact.
>>282952415Thanks for your reply.
>>282954819fishe
>>282944434There is something missing here compared to the other anime in the suumatsu series. This one feel too zany.>lmao a shark!!
>>282953963If we're talking about visuals here, Tengoku Daimakyou was the best looking show of the year and one of the best in recent years. It literally had an all-star staff working on it. As an adaptation, it was rushed and cut out too much.
>>282954892How is it zany to find a shark in the ocean, especially one that no one's fished in in ages?

Bakayaro ? dont tell me its same VA
>>282947816>Yokosuka has the harborAnd forklifts!
Didn't watch second episode yet. First seemed like author decided to make a quick cash grab on cozy touring theme, and made it post-apocalyptic because that way there's nothing to compete with, and he forgot to make his homework on post-apocalyptic part. Mishandling of solar panels - you can damage them by weighting with rocks, and they will lose their productivity, because parts are covered from sun. EV bike conversion, that can be charged with tourist solar panel, in a couple of hours. Android that can fire a fucken railgun, but doesn't even require it's own solar panel to charge, if it's working on some kind of nuclear battery, then why is there ecothemes - biogasoline, EV vehicles, solar charging? Ruins and damaged cars everywhere, but without human remains, not to kill cozy vibes, only two skeletons are sitting in LMV, like they died quickly, because of poisonous gas or something like that. LMV itself is a plot mess, it's not damaged, it has gasoline engine, fuel tank not empty, no solar panels, but it's batteries still can power AI and camera that monitors surroundings.This show is fine in it's guide part, but absolute shit in worldbuilding and camping part.
>>282957263>Didn't watch the second episode yet>retarded rant afterwards Maybe don't post in the thread until you've seen the episode then?
>>282957316Just second episode? Am I allowed to comment before all 12 episodes?

I just tried to read(mtl) a bit of the current raws Oneechan travel happens in 2035, before the world went to shitThey meet one astronaut girl that is living alone in a baseAstronaut girl was training in a space station when a hueg never seen before solar flare happens, her space station and entire world went completely darkAt the time everything seemed to be very reliant on AI/eletronics including a nuclear base on the moonSaid base explodes right after the solar flare leaving a crack that can be seen from the earthAstronauts have barely some hours of oxygen and without options they went into cold sleepThey wake up after unknown years and they also don't know what exacly happened, but one after the another starts dying because of some unknown disease and only the girl is left (she also seems to be infected)

>only traditional cgdct anime this season>thread is dead

>>282962597>>only traditional cgdct
>>282952585>but also a big departure from what we've seen out of robutts so farTo be fair, all the robutts we've seen so far are cyborgs. Either a human with robotic enhancements or a human consciousness implanted into a robot body. They're not really AI. Only their bodies are artificial, not their minds.

This show is so fucking depressing. Like it's made for sociopaths or something.
>>282963551come on it's not even that bad as far as post apocalypse anime go
i thought the sister was dead?anyway, i also wanted to go on a bike tour of empty and comfy rural japan, but with a honda super cub tm
>>282963528That shit is boring yuribait. A LHdBSLesbian Hags doing Boring Shit
>>282963551You surely want the tanuki to steal the show again.
>>282963700>i thought the sister was dead?I know the MC said she is going to see her sister, but I'm convinced that she's 100% dead and that she's following her metaphorical ghost in every place she visited as a way to connect with her. Despite saying 'live' , given the way their conversation flowed, pic related felt like a pre-recorded video that the MC has already watched a thousand times
>>282963850Or maybe she's a customized virtual AI
what if the MC is the sister and just thinks she' someone else because she's got a new robot body and had memory loss too?
>>282957830>you watch cute girls, and one of them has dick, because author didn't know girls don't have em.He's well versed in chicks with dicks with participation in scientific journals like ふたなりエクセレント！２, ふたなりっ娘らばーず１６ and ふたなりエクセレント！４.
The cyborg reminded me of the game SOMA. And the OP sounds a bit like a nano.RIPE clone.
>>282963959It would be pretty tragic if her sister ends up being just a virtual AI that the government used to teach kids who are being raised in bunkers. Kind of like Ruri from Nadesico.https://youtu.be/yCEJ5Yuza4g?t=71(God, the dub is terrible)
I don't like this renchon
I don't like the MC. Her genkiness is annoying.
>>282963850hard to make up my mind whether it's necessarily recordings but I definitely am getting strong vibes that she's not alive and walking and talking>>282963959I was wondering this as well, since it doesn't seem impossible to me from just that that their conversation was live

>>282948581In fiction, mutations usually turns animals monster size but other mutations are more likely. Even if they do get that big, there's the issue that it makes it harder to survive. That's why right after mass extinctions, all the living species are small.
>>282948453He didn't change his mind. He loved the idea of traveling with them but he knew his final resting place was here.

The one thing that still confuses me is the timeline of this. Judging by the landscapes and what the characters say when they talk about the old world it seems like the apocalypse happened many years ago, like at least 20 years ago. But Youko's sister was still very young when she traveled around and she is her sister, so there shouldn't be such a gap. Even if she was 10 years older and assuming that Youko met her during her lifetime and was old enough to talk to her the catastrophe shouldn't have happened more than maybe 6 years ago at best, assuming that the sister was 16+ when she traveled.
So the ED varies every week. After the scene with the scene with the dragonfly we see photos showing the past of a character or event that was relevant in the episode.

>>282975107Yeah, there's some fuckery involved. I really hope it's not some sort of Shelter-type simulation or a goddamn dream, but if we take everything at face value, nothing makes sense.I feel like the Touringram posts are the most stable foundation, so Chiko would travel around Japan and post about it, then ~20 years after the fall Yoko (probably born in the shelter) would find those posts and be inspired to travel herself. But then Yoko seems to remeber actually being there, so either>she's been in some kind of cryo stasis for the past 20 years and is still a teenager>it's some bullshit plot with implanted memories and she's a robot or a clone>she's gone crazy from cabin fever and it's all in her headAll I can say is I really hope the author isn't just making shit up as he goes.
>>282975107>Clone>computer AI>Robot>Age down filter>other >>282975842Does feel like potentially implented memories, maybe "inherited" ones if she is some kind of clone.
>>282976073>Age down filterOnee-chan is definitely using those, in every timeline.
What's interesting to me is how there have already been small differences to the overarching plot from the manga, along with the fact that we don't know what they have planned for the latter half that makes me think they might be cooking up an anime original ending.I have zero proof for that, by the way, just a hunch.
>>282964116>ED starts playing>instantly recognize the singer despite having heard only one other song from her>MOU HITORIJANAIYO!fuck me, it's gonna be a feels ride whenever this ED starts playing too isn't it?
>>282976561These chapters were written five years ago and the series wasn't planned out in its entirety. It's natural to make adjustments to fit the current vision.
>>282977691That makes sense, but who's making the changes? Like, how does it work in anime production, do they let the author just call in and ask them to put a crater in mount Fuji or make the characters shout at the sea?
>>282977833It depends on the production. In some cases the author takes an active role with regular meetings and participating in the recording and in other cases they have nothing to do with out beyond producing the source material.
>>282977833>how does it work in anime productionit depends on the nature of the production and how well the author gets along with the project management staff
>>282978089>>282978232>It dependsNaruhodo.
>>282962468Aren't there Chinatowns everywhere (except Korea funnily enough)?
>>282979119In Japan at least it's not that common, the big one is in Yokohama and there's some smaller blocks in Tokyo where there's lots of Chinese (Shin-Okubo isn't just Koreans these days). I think there's also a notable one in Osaka and of course in Sapporo. But other than that, I can't really recall any in Nagoya, Kyoto or Hiroshima.
>>282975842Yeah I believe that Youko never actually met that sister. The video at the start of episode 2 feels like AI or prerecorded and even if it wasn't she is wearing what looks like the clothes of a doctor or scientist, so that woman is probably not even related to Youko. That aside, when we see her in Youko's vision later (when she suggests to go to a Chinese restaurant) she is of the same age as in the video session at the start, even though that can definitely not be right since we have actually seen the real version at the beginning of episode 1 that confirms that she was way younger when she was traveling around. Around Youko's age actually. Chances are high that the woman from the video and Youko's visions isn't even the same person as the girl that traveled around with the bike and Youko just slaps the face of the first onto her imaginations of the latter because that woman is the only other human being she knows of and because she has never seen the actual face of the traveling girl.
>>282979119I never heard of a different chinatown than the one in the US so far (until I watched that episode). Every big city has Chinese immigrants but that's different from an actual city quarter only consisting of them.
>>282978400You can try digging through the author's social network posts or wait if he writes something in the afterword of volume 8.
>>282980416>I never heard of a different chinatown than the one in the USWhich one?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Chinatowns_in_the_United_States
Serows are pretty cool.
>>282963850>I know the MC said she is going to see her sisterDid she say that. They said they're going to her sister's place but that doesn't necessarily mean she's still alive.
>>282963850>>282983719I don't remember them saying anything about visiting onee-chan, when did Yoko say that? I thought the plan was just to go Shuumatsu Touring™ like her.
>>282982986Must be running with Yokohama® tires to be riding over deep water like that.
>>282984160maybe, but only on a honda super cub can you climb mt fuji.
>>282984201
>>282983987They said they can fix Schwar-chan's body at onee-chan's place.
>>282985367Oh right, that time. Yeah, I think I can weigh in on this, she says>シュワちゃんの体もお姉ちゃんの所できっと修理してもらえるよwhich indicates she wants to have his body fixed at onee-chan's by someone else, so she's at least expecting someone to be there. Most likely onee-chan, but I guess it might not be. I'd say if onee-chan is dead, then Yoko doesn't know about it.
>>282984201>>282984350Wait, did they actually get up that mountain or no? I remember them having to go back because of Koguma's panties.

Why didn't they check out the sub? There could be tasty emergency rations inside.
>>282989592Possible radiation leak due to subs being nuke powered
>>282989592It's a sub, you can't just get inside with a can opener.
>>282989592>There could be tasty emergency rations inside.Steve..
>>282989592There is almost no flat surface to scale it and it takes a lot to shoot through steel that could sustain immense water pressure.
Do they ever go on better detail about what fucked everything up?
>>282990558Also this. Meteors? Missiles?
>>282990558Yeah, manga volume 8, apparently.
does this anime have suzukis?
>>282990711That engine should stroke my shaft.

Didn't expect to be hit with feels this episode.
Why do they use a 3D model for the bike? Why not draw it by hand?

>>282992827I agree, I'd prefer if they kept little bits here and there like Robodad's flashbacks but no plot dumps explaining everything.

>>282990584Since military facilities appear to have been targeted from space with directed energy weapons it was either a war with China or invasion by ayys. An AI uprising like in Vivy is also possible.

>>282996408He did do something useful for them.
Man, this episode was like ten times better than the first one. Now I'm almost scared the rest of the show will never live up to it.
>>282996280Can a Super Cub participate? Might be worth flying to Japan and renting one.
You know, that is pretty weird how it happened twice in the same season.

>>282950082The flashbacks are just dreams, pieced together from things she's read and whatever false memories she'd been given by her "sister" (actually her mother). Probably.

Is this worth the watch? I usually am into shit like this, but I have to admit the manga art looks so much nicer that it's unreal

>>282948018If a shark is going through all that trouble to get such a relatively small fish, it might as well eat the girl too. Taking and eating her wouldn't be hard when she's right there.

>>283007285Youko likely suffers from severe vitamin and mineral deficiency due to poor diet
>>283017424She looks rather healthy.
Why is she wearing animal ears?

>>283017555slop
>>283017641Oh shit, the "correct" spelling of Airi's name.
Did the author play too much Fallout before writing this series or something?
>>283018749The only piece of merch I want from this series is a rubber keychain like they did for Bakuon back in the day. They're the perfect accessory to a baiku key.
>>283018480>shelters, not vaults>near-future solarpunk over 50's retrofuturism>no war, only touringIt's not very similar to Fallout at all.
>>283017641That looks tasty. Airi should be grateful they're giving her any kind of food to eat instead of biowaste. Robots don't need protein after all.
>>283020025Maybe she does. She's pretty advanced for a robutt, maybe she like sheds the cyberskin and needs to constantly grow it back.
why does an android need to eat
>>282956092It's a cool idea. electric vehicles need to be audible for awareness where cars and pedestrians share space like crosswalks and parking lots, but those noises are worthless at highway speeds. An audible exhaust header would do a better job at notifying another motorist of your presence while you approach their blind spot. and when you're braking you can use the compression to store energy for acceleration or generate power.

Just finished watching the episode. The first part really felt like I was watching an ad (PLEASE come to Yokohama!), but the second part was amazing. It made me want to weep. The scene of Ichiro in the hospital reminded me of the body horror scene from RobocopIchiro is a real human being
