Set in the ruins of Tokyo in the near future, a small group of female survivors face the impending extinction of humanity. They are forced to use violence in the face of bioterrorism and other threats. While some women accept their fate as the last generation of humans, others see biological engineering as a final hope for the survival of the species.

Ok… so. I have just been on this run recently of just wanting to watch very dumb and very idiosyncratic pieces of just pure esoterica recently. Idk if my mutuals are super into that but I feel like I need to explain. I love watching my normal movies everyone here has seen and whatnot… but a lot of the time I don’t love reviewing them unless I really feel like I have something to say. And because of that, I just tend not to log the movies I was more ‘eh’ on or just didn’t like but didn’t have that much to say about why. And…
love me some girlboss cultish crazy ass lesbians
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
you gotta give it up for the post apocalyptic lesbian incest cult with the jellyfish mommy fighting the clocky girlboss general with an army of battle maids over whether or not humanity is going to accept death or not.
nice samples rook
The story is very convoluted and quite dull at times but the story is interesting in a seen it before kind of way and the surprising level of violent, gore and quick deaths were both unexpected and welcome.
have you ever wanted to watch an ova that feels like a very strange 13 year old girls crossover fanfiction that she wrote like two days after binging every anime available to her in 3 part uploads on youtube with busted subtitles. i have so many questions about what the fuck the creators were even going for. for my money this defies qualitative judgement with Pure Anime Nonsense. at the end of the world we should all have lesbian sex except for the mentally ill who should wield monster exploding guns and look like butch vampire hunter d. every attempt at discussing fatalistic thinking or militarism or cycles of patriarchal pain is immediately kneecapped by shit like a large scale ball only having one dance loop in the background or (in the rip i watched) screen tearing so bad that it is near lovecraftian. what were they putting in the water in the early 2000's to make anime like this
this is like ten different animes all having passionate toxic yuri with one another. have you ever wanted to see card captor sakura be in a complicated romance with a girl version of vampire hunter d? have you ever wanted a plot that made very little sense and blasted you with equal amounts of low-quality low-effort animation and weirdly high grade art? this whole thing is barely over an hour and a half, DEFINITELY worth your while. thank you Ada Rook for sampling the kinda bonkers dub this thing has.
i’m gonna be real y’all i’m high as fuck right now but why this lowkey go hard as FUCK. like i literally got chills at the opening monologue/explanation??? i’m literally sitting here trying to analyze this plot like i want so bad for this to somehow be re-explored with the same ideas and characters bur just MORE. go into the cult, the relationships, how the rest of humanity reacts, the way cycle is literally a circle the way the past and present are connected, nature and humanity keep the lesbians and oh my god??? HELLO PLEASE SOMEONE DO THOS???? i love some crazy ass dykes
Maybe one of the most wack things I've watched in recent memory (positive). There's so much going on here, a million ideas coming together to make the apex of anime pulp. Insane world ending lesbianism meets hope for the future, time travel(?), religious imagery, etc etc...... This shit is pure aesthetics and capital "T" themes about persevering and preserving what is good even amongst the nihilism of doomsday. Cool ass machines and guns (gun swords, even!) add the cherry on top. Kinda love this? We need to give more money to people so they can make insane shit like this, I have a total soft spot for it in my heart.
Screw being classy, we need more edgy gay sci-fi that feels written by a 13 year old.
Obsessed with Kisaragi, peak character design.
Watching this reminded me how much I love art and people who create art. It was by no means easy to understand, but people made this with their own paws because they wanted to. Real people created this story, wrote the script, animated the scenes, voice acted the lines. Regardless if it was just for a payout or for the love of art, they still put their talent into this project and shared it with the world KNOWING it wouldn't be a massive hit, or even something with appeal for most people.
It's funny, an anime about how humans are so good at destroying things reminds me of the beauty of creation.
utter dogshit by any real measure but that's what makes it so good. easily the funniest anime that has ever been made, hands down, no contest, this shit is effortessly a mile a minute funny as fuck and it was an incredible experience to watch. so totally incoherent and nonsensical and confused on its own plot and morals and yet it commits to its own bit so much that it kind of ends up being a masterpiece. thank you ada rook.
