Thread 282944434

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 The XT225 was preceded and superseded by the XT250.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.

People call this yuri, but I can’t imagine romance actually happening between children that young and silly.

After the kuudere pulled an arm cannon it made me think of Pandora in the Crimson Shell, that one also had a loli kuudere android as the deuteragonist.

>>282945918
I 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.

SOMETHING is missing. I can’t really explain it, but it’s missing something crucial that’d make this kind of anime enjoyable. The ugly as hell character design doesn’t help either. Even Zatsu Tabi was more fun.

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.

>>282949828
It just is.

>>282949861
There is no romance whatsoever

Hold me bros..

this show is frustrating
I like the premise, the backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, and I can even forgive the heavy use of 3DCG
but 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
>plesiosaurus
Pic related.

>>282950402
It 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 route
Oh, I'd love that

>>282950402
What's the best?

Oh no, was this an undercover tourism ad all along?

>>282950653
that and also an ad for the bike

>>282950653
every anime about going places (japan) is a tourism ad

>>282950682
Nah, 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.

>>282950653
Chinatown? The Cup Ramen Museum? I barely know shit about Yokohama other than its near Tokyo and the second most populated city in Japan

>>282948581
>>282948645
My guess is an AI uprising that turned the world's military (bombs, tanks, satellite lasers, what have you) against humanity to wipe it out.

>>282951326
Agreed. 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

>>282951842
I 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.

>>282952415
I 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 uprising
Ooh, that would be on theme but also a big departure from what we've seen out of robutts so far, I like it.

>>282950782
Except Nagoya Catgirl.

>>282948581
>>282948645
>>282951830
don'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 disappear
Based 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

>>282950402
Yeah, 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.

>>282953368
yes

I don't think that PSP will still function after all those years.

>>282953457
Yeah, I hate the over-reliance on post-processing effects. The visuals are, sadly, the weakest aspect of the show.
>Girls' Last Tour
GLT 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!

is Yoko a boomer or something?

>>282953963
No, 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

>>282953963
If 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.

>>282954892

And 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.

That's bullshit.

I just tried to read(mtl) a bit of the current raws
Oneechan travel happens in 2035, before the world went to shit
They meet one astronaut girl that is living alone in a base
Astronaut girl was training in a space station when a hueg never seen before solar flare happens, her space station and entire world went completely dark
At the time everything seemed to be very reliant on AI/eletronics including a nuclear base on the moon
Said base explodes right after the solar flare leaving a crack that can be seen from the earth
Astronauts have barely some hours of oxygen and without options they went into cold sleep
They 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)

Not reading spoilers, but a bit sad that the last translated chapter was like 2 years ago.

>but also a big departure from what we've seen out of robutts so far
To 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.

>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

>>282963850
Or 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.

>>282963959
It 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.

>>282961382
Sounds like something new, at least. I read 6 volumes of the manga and was a little irritated by how much it spins its wheels.

After the strong start, most chapters are just relatively aimless tourism through Japan, and some could just as well take place unchanged in the modern day (I really hope, for the sake of the anime watchers, that they don't waste an episode educating the viewers on how to change the serow's front inner tube). Some of the volumes end in cliffhanger chapters leading into supposedly major events, which then ultimately resolve into zero progress story-wise in the next volume. The girls just go straight back to joyriding.

I know no more about the apocalypse and the ultimate fate of humanity than those who just watched ep2. Just some hints that neither Youko nor Airi are quite normal for who and what they're supposed to be. Also, fucking machine ghosts and ancient aliens? Come the fuck on.

While I do like this a lot for its characters, concept and art, it really is in no hurry to advance its story. The tourism fluff only entertains when not overshadowed by a premise as engaging as a mystery apocalypse and an apparently complete human extinction.

>>282963850
hard 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
>>282963959
I was wondering this as well, since it doesn't seem impossible to me from just that that their conversation was live

At least his brain? Or it is just like in Ghost in the shell, wich is more possible since he was there stranded without any food to feed a possible brain inside that, and that face we saw was just a representation of who he was before being "roboticed".

>>282948581
In 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.

>>282945495
No one on /u/ says that but it seems some "yurifags" livng only in your own mind do that.

>>282967094
anon... bad ideas about reuniting with her family are literally her entire personality.

That shelter looks comfy. Why didn't they just stay there instead of heading out into the post-apocalyptic wasteland?

What the fuck, they cut the Yamaha joke.

>>282968829
Zatsu Tabi was real yuri, whereas Shuumastsu is yuribait.

this.
Zatsu girls are also cute and there's a nude onsen scene EVERY SINGLE EPISODE

>>282969192

they're literally hags.

>>282969525

I read the first two chapters of the Shuumatsu Touring manga and the artstyle makes it feel even closer to YKK, some very well-drawn panels.

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.

>>282973894
https://youtu.be/hrkuo0y8gMU

>>282969231
Cute adult women

>>282975107
Yeah, 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 head

All 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

>>282975842
Does feel like potentially implented memories, maybe "inherited" ones if she is some kind of clone.

>>282976073
>Age down filter
Onee-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?

>>282976561
These 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.

>>282977691
That 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?

>>282977833
It 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 production
it depends on the nature of the production and how well the author gets along with the project management staff

>>282978089
>>282978232
>It depends
Naruhodo.

>>282962468
Aren't there Chinatowns everywhere (except Korea funnily enough)?

>>282979119
In 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.

>>282975842
Yeah 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.

>>282979119
I 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.

>>282978400
You 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 US
Which one?

Serows are pretty cool.

>>282963850
>I know the MC said she is going to see her sister
Did she say that. They said they're going to her sister's place but that doesn't necessarily mean she's still alive.

>>282963850
>>282983719
I 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.

>>282982986
Must be running with Yokohama® tires to be riding over deep water like that.

>>282984160
maybe, but only on a honda super cub can you climb mt fuji.

>>282983987
They said they can fix Schwar-chan's body at onee-chan's place.

>>282985367
Oh 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
>>282984350
Wait, did they actually get up that mountain or no? I remember them having to go back because of Koguma's panties.

>>282989592
There 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?

>>282990558
Also this. Meteors? Missiles?

Of course Loli Hater-kun would love it and spam their loli hating thrash everywhere.
By the way, this is the love interest in xis "loli anime" (which is actually anti lolicon as you know). That's why he defends it, just like he defended small girl censorship in Ruri because it was full of fanservice of xis favorite (another mature adult woman of course).

Legit mental illness.

It's not very similar to Fallout at all.

>>283017641
That 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.

>>283020025
Maybe 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

>>282956092
It'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.
