"It's been a fantastic and historic year for everyone, not just for the club but also on a personal level. It has been a good all-round year and our constant effort and dedication have delivered these rewards. You've got to be aware of just how much effort goes into this." - Sergio Ramos, (December 24, 2017)

tüm bitkilerin, kuşların adını bilmek istiyorum. onlarla ilgilenmek, dokunmak, sevmek istiyorum. sabahları erkenden kalkıp ruhumu maneviyatla doldurup güneşin doğuşunu izlerken sadece 'var olmak' üzerine düşünmek istiyorum. şehrin gürültüsünden, her sabah insanların bir şeye yetişmeye çalışmalarından, benim de bu düzende onlarla beraber hızlıca yürüyüp okula ya da herhangi bir yere yetişme çabamdan kurtulmak istiyorum. tekdüze sıradan bi hayat istiyorum. hayattaki küçük mucizelere, yaprağın düşüşüne, kelebeğin uçuşuna şahit olmak istiyorum.

Episode 12 of Girls’ Last Tour was pretty good. Through the power of submarine computers and Yuu and Chi’s camera, we get a little bit of insight into the history of the world, with Japan being the starters of the war that destroyed society. However, that detail isn’t as prominent as a video of three school girls effectively making a video log of their progress on a robot, the technology of which we see utilised later in that one big aquarium with the fish. This is incredibly Girls’ Last Tour-ish, paying more attention to lighthearted and happy details rather than far more tragic events. Girls’ Last Tour just has this constant theme of appreciating life, and it doesn’t even do it by telling you about how hard the girls have it. When the girls are imagining what their little apartment room would look like, their aspirations are incredibly humble to us, but the girls see those aspirations as luxurious without putting down their current situations. It makes us appreciate life not by comparing it to how shitty their lives are, but by showing us how much they appreciate their own lives. Episode 12 plays into this with Yuu and Chi saying they’ll never be lonely because they have one another. It’s cliché, but it’s cliché because of how sweet it is.

Overall, Girls’ Last Tour is a super interesting series and one that I’d definitely recommend watching. The world the girls live in is so mysterious and full of interesting little oddities, and you feel really immersed in it. If there’s one thing I’m not that fond of, some of the more fantastical elements, particularly all of the Nuko’s species people in episode 12, seem somewhat out of place in the series, and the added detail of them saying Yuu and Chi appear to be the only living humans isn’t an idea I think works well with the show’s tone, even if it does play into their optimism in the face of loneliness. Even in spite of that though, it’s still definitely worth watching. And I think I said this in my last post about Girls’ Last Tour, but the OP and ED themes are both swaggin’ bops.
