Those are some chill wild boars.
Impressions:
While this season is light on the tourism shows, last season definitely wasn’t, and I don’t know that this really engages with its premise of being after the apocalypse, especially with the human girl of the pair constantly hallucinating herself back being in the present day surrounded by people. Sure, the other one is a killer robot and they blow up a tank, but that’s only about ninety seconds in the middle of the episode, and clearly not the focus. More time was spent just looking at scenery. More time was spent on taking a bath.
So what is the focus then? Well, cute girls looking at Japanese scenery. And that’s where I think it’s squandering its premise, because you get those things everywhere. Especially on motorbikes. There were at least three last season alone. Hell, even if you wanted to specifically look at overgrown old structures in the middle of nowhere, that was a significant part of Ruri’s Rocks. Quirky girls wandering around rural Japan is a mine plumbed deep, and it needs to dig deeper into being actually apocalyptic because this episode was about a 90 second cut from easily being able to have taken place like ten minutes outside of any major city.
