The idea of freezing people to let humankind survive a extinction level event is a good idea. But then it quickly falls apart, as we get to see more of the people they went with, how they did it and how long they where frozen for.
Firstly they only froze 35-40 people, not all in breading age or of equal amount of gender, or even people that wanted to bread, already here we meet a dead end. But it gets worse, the longer we go. Because they are mostly chosen by random, yes not by skill or anything else, except one team that is well emotionally unstable to say the least. But even if all get together and impregnate equally, they amount of diversity wouldn't be enough. And what is worse they have sprede them out in small groups all around the country. And they don't even star where the food and supplies are storage, they have to travel 1000's of km to get to them.
And we learn they have have been frozen for million of years, as the environment, plants and animals all have evolved way beyond us. Cities have crumbled, vaults have failed. But a sailing boat, made of wood and hemp sails, have survived in perfect condition while being in the water exposed to the elements, not even in a dry dock. How ? Even today a boats made of better material will starts to leak, and break down in a few years if not maintained. We can barely find traces of boats made 1000 years ago, let alone 100.000 years ago and this is millions of years.
Then there is the story, it's boring as hell. It's not them surviving this new strange world. Nope, it's them mostly fighting each other, and the things the world left behind, stuff that should be long gone or stopped working. A ship sitting in the ocean isn't going to have electronics that works after 100 years let alone after 1 million.
As a anime story it's weak, but that's because many other shows have done this story so much better already, and even the "choking" scenes are really not that well done, or have a in world logical reason to happen. Why is the "fertilizer" machine even a thing ?. It makes no sense in the past to kill the children as they would die anyway when the meteors came, and it would be better to use them as soldiers, give them another spot or keep as a backup instead. The one in the vault seems even dumber, as it implies that the ones who build the vault foresaw that accident could happen, and instead of using the time to build a backup storage and systems. They instead used the time to build a fake train track, and a fertilizer machine instead, even just filling the tunnel with supplies would have avoided this, and humans are not really that useful to use in the first place, instead of bugs, waste products and so on. And it even turns out the vault isn't even secure, as a "tick" gets inside killing them all by turning them into goo. How or where it comes from isn't said, as it's does not exist today and the vault was only working for a few years at most. But hey, at least the vault have some sort of eternity power core or something. As even millions of years later it still runs perfectly and have even kept the freezer runner for all that time, how I don't know as we have nothing today that can do this, even nuclear needs maintenance. It could be geopower, but as we have seen the Earth have shifted much over time, so pipes, sediments and the water table would have change.
Again it was promissing, but go watch other shows instead if you think this was a 5 or up, as you clearly are either new to anime or trying to be edgy by claiming this was special somehow.
