Having watched many anime series, it was nice to see one that is set at a slower pace and deals with smaller issues in a thoughtful way, almost like a parable. In "Girls Last Tour" Civilization had advanced to the point that cities had multiple layers. However, war has destroyed almost all life including plant and animal. Two young girls journey through this desolate land on a WW2 German Kettengrad motorcycle tank driving about 10 miles an hour. The girls, Chito-black hair and Yuuri-blonde hair, explore, play, and try to make sense of things while seeking out food and supplies. Chito is thoughtful, keeps a journal and drives the Kettengrad. Yuuri is illiterate, impulsive, but exuberant. Watching these two living humans among the great but lifeless cities is an enjoyable if melancholy experience. But, if life has got you wound up, this show will help you wind down. Watched on Amazon Prime.
