I'm done sharing my favorite episodes in Mushishi which is one of my favorite anime. Now It's time to share my favorite chapters in Girls Last Tour. I love this anime the same or even more that Mushishi because of the hidden meaning in each chapters. It may look boring and normal to others but once you finish this series (especially in manga) you'll appreciate how good this anime was.

In anime every episodes are composed of 2-3 chapters from manga. But don't worry it wasn't rushed at all. And in this article I'm going to share my favorite chapters in this anime. I'm going to limit my list from the anime only to avoid larger spoilers especially from the ending in manga. So here it is;

War

Anime: Episode 1

Manga: Chapter 2

Quote: "If they'd preserved food instead of making weapons, our lives would be so much easier." - Yuuri

Let's start with this masterpiece chapter. My favorite in this list and the sole reason why I started to love this series. They talk about how foolish war is. Why killing one another and wasting all of the resources in making weapons when they can use it to feed someone in need instead. The logic and meaning from this chapter isn't hidden deeply at all. The message is direct and you'll understand immediately what is the message from the author want to make us understand.

Journal

Anime: Episode 2

Manga: Chapter 4

Quote: "Memories fade, so we write them down." - Chito

Just how important writing journals and books is? This is the topic from this chapter. Chito is writing journals and explained You how important books and journals is. From recording what happened in the past to essential key to civilization development. It's still funny how You burned Chito's favorite book to be used as fuel. But still this chapter is full of wholesomeness especially how people started to lose interest towards books nowadays.

Photographs

Anime: Episode 4

Manga: Chapter 9

Quote: "It's weird. If you eat food, it gets used up, but if you take pictures, they're here forever." - Yuuri

This chapter is very similar to Journal. But instead they show how important taking photographs is, especially in recording memories from the past. And it's the only proof that you once exist in this world. It is also revealed in this chapter what is the date of the world in this wonderful story. And as expected of how advance and mysterious the world shown in this story is, because it all took place in the year 3230.

Residence

Anime: Episode 5

Manga: Chapter 11

Quote: "It's pretty nice, having an actual roof and four walls surrounding you." - Chito

This chapter is both wholesome and sad at the same time. Wholesome because of how this two girls dreams on how they want their own house looks like. But yes it's very sad because on how the world is cruel to them and it's all the fault of the humans from the past. We can consider this two as the last childrens of the world but they still didn't feel hopeless and still dreaming for their future.

Takeoff

Anime: Episode 6

Manga: Chapter 16

Quote: "History... Hey, Ishii, you might be... ...the last pilot in human history." - Chito

People witnessed the takeoff of the very first plane of the Wright Brothers but have you ever wondered how it looks like the last takeoff of the very last plane? In this chapter should be really depressing but with the power of wholesome storytelling of this anime it looks like a very happy takeoff and ending. The story of the last pilot, engineer and the last plane is all present in this chapter.

Memories

Anime: Episode 8

Manga: Chapter 19

Quote: "I don't think they were forgotten. They put them in there so they wouldn't be forgotten." - Chito

This is where the real deal started. We all know the world building of this anime is insane and who would have thought that the drawer like structures shown in this part are actually graves. But instead of bodies, they are filled with the important things that the owner treasured. This one really breaks my heart. They talked about how this thing is theĀ  only proof (except photographs) that they once exist in the world and those things hold their precious memories.

Spiral

Anime: Episode 8

Manga: Chapter 21

Quote: "How can you live if you're afraid of dying?!" - Yuuri

That quote will be my treasure for life. Just how will this anime both destroy and fix my soul. Just how this anime going to talk about your life and it hits really hard. In this chapter they talk about how our life can be compared to spiral. It revolves around the same things. And that's how we basically lives. But just like the spiral, if you choose to go up even though it spin and your life has been repeatitive all this time. One day you'll reach the top.

Moonlight

Anime: Episode 8

Manga: Chapter 20

Quote: "Hey, Yuu. One day, let's go really really high up... ...and go to the Moon." - Chito

In this chapter the two found 3 bottles of liquors. They might be underaged but who cares. They don't have any knowledge about that drinks. And the way how You blames the moon because Chito is acting crazy just gets me smile. Still this part is enjoyable since this two didn't lose hope at all and just enjoyed the joy of living.

Life

Anime: Episode 9

Manga: Chapter 24

Quote: "Hey, Chi. Maybe 'life' means something that has an end?" - Yuuri

I don't want everything to end like this. Imagine witnessing the very last fish alive. And it also shown how machines which is made by humans cause destruction to the life of every living things in the world. It is the start of how the world is starting to fall apart in the story. I wonder what will happen to that fish.

Wavelength

Anime: Episode 10

Manga: Chapter 26

Quote: "Feeling sad, feeling happy... Maybe music has that kind of power." - Chito

Now they are talking about music? How can the wavelengths from both sound and light influence our emotions. And that sunset scene is killing my heart. It just shown how the world in this anime is actually dark but because of the presence from the two it looks way more brighter.

Destruction

Anime: Episode 11

Manga: Chapter 29

Quote: "Fighting with a weapon like this would turn stuff to a sea of fire in an instant." - Yuuri

This is pretty scary. If humans have this kind of power, no wonder the world will sink down in the bottom of destruction. Maybe Yuuri was right. Why make this weapon if they can just invest it on foods for the next generation. Sometimes I think humans are just selfish in nature. Let's just hope that there are better days that come soon and change this system and mindset.

Past

Anime: Episode 11

Manga: Chapter 30

Quote: "Oh, but you know, even if we don't know about the past, we can know about the future. With enough time." - Yuuri

This is one of the last part in anime. It gives us a glimpse of the past of the two. How they started their last tour. And also how foolish the humans in the past is. All about war and stuffs and honestly I don't want this to happen. They should watch this anime first before doing such foolish actions.

This anime will always be my favorite. I don't know if I can find something like this or it would be great if there is something better. And for those who didn't watched it yet, it isn't too late to start. Although I don't know if you'll like it too since we have different opinions and tastes but it wouldn't hurt to try.
