When the 7G mobile telephone network is turned on in the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo something strange happens. Reality in Japan is shattered; distances between previously nearby places suddenly increases and its inhabitants find themselves changed. In rural Agano everybody over the age of twenty one becomes an anthropomorphic animal. Four school girls decide to take an abandoned train to Ikebukuro, where a friend now lives. Along the way they come across communities that have been changed in other strange ways.
I really enjoyed this series; of those I watched this season this is the one I liked the most. The plot is delightfully surreal. The effects of the 7G event are imaginative in ways that manage to be amusing and a bit creepy at times. Our four leads are likeable and even as things get strange we can believe in them. The animation and character designs are impressive and the backgrounds increasingly trippy, especially when they get nearer Ikebukuro. Overall I'd definitely recommend this one.
