There's no way to wrap it up given the setting. The only outcome is death. If they don't die while they're young they'll eventually grow too old to even scavenge food and die of starvation. Besides, there's nothing wrong with picaresque stories like this.

Fair point, then again we don't know where the city is actually located on the globe. It might be in some area that's pretty much always cold (for what reason they would live there, I don't know) or in a part of the globe where it's winter during summertime.
Also thinking back to the statue episode, the radiation thing might not be incorrect since there was that scene where the one photo of the statue was over-illuminated, which I might be retarded here could hint at radiation.

The amount of noise and overexposure would suggest pretty extreme levels of radiation.

Honestly don't know. You can at least pick up different wavelengths of light with one and use it as a makeshift nightvision thingy. Anyway, there's also that one statue with the "ring" on its head which looks like some kind of radar device, so maybe it's just something coming from the statues itself or I'm just overthinking it.

If you go down in resolution and up in storage space a little, it's possible even with today's tech. The best "normal" camera you can get will take a 256GB SD card, and with decent compression a 5MP image should be around 1 megabyte, which is about 260 000 pictures. As other said, they could very well be even lower resolution and easily fit on current generation products.

Buy one to start with and see if you find it to your liking.

You also get more stuff than just food. It can be coffee, gum, utensils, electrolyte drink, chocolate bars etc.

But if you're talking about the ration bars the girls are eating, they're not the types you find in a MRE, but they're actually part of the emergency survival MRE found in planes and boats. So the author probably did her research on the ration itself, but she missed an important part that isn't overtly shown in the series where you're not supposed to be eating those ration bars if you don't have access to drinking water because you'll end up killing yourself faster.

You know, if a METEOR hit the Earth, the weather would be fucked. It dosen't have to be a big-fuck-off-kill-everything one to do the damage. Also, if you have a few ears then maybe a decade or two of shitty weather, then resources get scarce. Food shortages/shit weather=war. Society at the national level probably ceased, thus resulting in city-state governments. Some would still band together if they are close enough or theres little to get in the way between the two. So the girls are probably conscripts for a city state or maybe a coalition of city states. That gives reason why the city is still intact. That also gives reason why there are so few people, they all died off from fighting, bad weather, war, famine, etc.

I'm pretty sure our civilization collapsed long before theirs and they probably found some autofactory and some files to produce old stuff from the prior civilization and went with that.

So even though it's august, they're still in winter clothes, and the sun is noticeably huge which made me almost think that maybe the sun went nova early and became a red giant, which would explain food decreases, radiation, and cold weather in August. Episode wasn't as enjoyable as previous episodes, still comfy, but I think it mostly had to do with the transitions. The regular transitions this episode felt...

There's a difference between lost in the woods on foot, and lost in a never-ending city with a functional vehicle and a small stockpile of gasoline, water, and food. And they keep finding food and gasoline, and the city waterworks and some electricity still work. They only keep traveling to look for food. If they got injured it wouldn't be a death sentence to hang out in one of the numerous buildings for a while until they healed, they'd just run their food stockpile down a bit.

The sun is too small to go supernova. If/when it went Nova and expanded to a red giant, it's suspected that Earth or Mars would still be on the edge of its habitable zone, but most life would die from the radiation and change in light frequency. This wouldn't affect buildings and such. The Earth only needs to move slightly further away to not spiral into the sun. When you consider that an earthquake in Japan can move the earth's position by 8 feet or more, It's not hard to imagine that natural events (if not artificial events) changed the position of earth the small distance needed to survive the sun's expansion.

It doesn't work that way.
A nova is a phenomenon that happens with white dwarfs, not main sequence (normal) or giant stars, and it has to have a companion star as well so it could never happen to the sun. There are multiple types of supernova, one of which (Type Ia) is essentially a much larger nova, and the others of which (core-collapse supernovae) only happen to stars much more massive than the sun. Neither phenomenon leaves behind any dense remnant much larger in radius than the earth.
Watching externally, when a star becomes a red giant it just looks like it puffs up and cools; no explosions.
This sort of thing can't just go off "early" anyway.
>>754194
>it's suspected that Earth or Mars would still be on the edge of its habitable zone
Nope. Earth will be well and truly roasted on the sun becomes a giant; it will extend so far that Venus and Mercury won't even survive intact.
>The Earth only needs to move slightly further away to not spiral into the sun
Things don't just "spiral in" on their own. When the sun becomes a red giant its mass won't magically increase. Earth will still go along in its orbit as usual.
No.754218
>>754203
I bet you're the kind of person who also believes that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas instead of a miasma of incandescent plasma. Most stars, given their burnable nuclear mass, wouldn't survive more than sevenish years if the laws of Newtonian physics as we know them applied to every object (including the sun). The fact that a star even goes nuclear at its current mass is near-impossible, and only thanks to probability due to closeness rather than pressure/heat. There's a reason that quantum mechanics and "astro" physics are starting to converge. We can estimate how long a star will burn using newtonian physics, but that number goes right out the window when you realize that stars don't operate on newtonian physics and that's the equivalent of saying "well it's probably somewhere between 12 inches and 12,000 miles."
Also the change into a red giant leads to a shift in mass over a larger radius as well as dispersal of large amounts of mass in the form of solar winds when it escapes the star's gravity well. It does expend mass. These losses in mass will lead to a weaker gravity well on earth, effectively increasing Earth's orbital radius and pushing us into a red giant's habitable zone (assuming the sun loses about 30% of its mass in these solar wind losses, which is entirely in the realm of possibility). Don't get me wrong, the earth would probably be fucked in the sun-expansion stage due to radiation, the potential for the sun to create a tidal lock similar to the Earth and moon leading to the earth spiraling into the sun, etc. That being said, there's a significant chance that the earth could survive a red giant expansion, and life as we know it would continue unabated (abeit differently than we currently think of it). Few physicists today think that Earth would get pulled in by the initial red giant phase unless the sun was a special circumstance and retained most of its mass somehow, they just tell people that one because it's easier on the conscience to just say we'll die than to say "we'll probably be roasted alive as the planet slowly spirals into the sun or by the radiation released in the process, but there's a possibility that Earth could survive if the sun loses enough mass and Earth escapes far enough away, and we'll be in a red giant's habitable zone to boot!"

You seem to be arguing against a whole lot of things I never said.
I don't even know where your first paragraph is coming from, since as far as I can see it has nothing to do with what I said.
Your numbers are also off; if you don't take fusion into account and only view it as a contracting mass releasing Newtonian gravitational potential energy as light, you get lifespans of megayears, not 7 years.
>It does expend mass
>Few physicists today think that Earth would get pulled in
I said its mass won't increase, not that it won't decrease, and I said it won't get pulled in.
The amount of mass loss by solar winds is irrelevant. If the sun very quickly loses large amounts of mass before the luminosity increase fries us (which isn't what happens) then the Earth's new orbit is still going to have a perihelion of 1AU from basic orbital mechanics. We don't even need to bother calculating the aphelion to know we'd die. If the mass loss takes long enough for us to spiral out, or if the wind increase comes well after the luminosity increase (which is what happens), we get fried first.
And this is all ignoring the differences between phases of giant, which make it even more impossible for earth to stay habitable, since the habitable zone gets closer to the sun during some phases.
Even if Earth ends up in the right place at the right time to be habitable during a giant phase, it would be impossible for it to have remained continuously habitable from the main sequence until then, so it doesn't matter; it would already be sanitized.
And again, stars don't just evolve willy-nilly. The sun has billions of years of hydrogen fusion left in it, and no set of "whacky circumstances" is going to change that.
But it's all pointless because it can't explain the show's apocalypse. If the sun were responsible for everyone dying off, why are wood and food still perfectly fine?

You'd be surprised. It broke right where it connects to the fuselage and then in the middle of the wing.

The author is an autist who draws her own animations. I'm pretty sure even if she didn't know the physics behind it, she would just got and copy it off an IRL plane experiencing structural failure caught on tape or some media's example of the same thing.

I was studying to be one of that counts. My first impression of it was that there was no way it would fly. The wings were too skinny and long especially for a glider. The extra length adds weight and air resistance (I'm assuming it's not aerodynamically sound) so it ends up putting a lot of stress where they connect to the body. Just compare it old WWI planes.

What the city layers represent? By far is the deepest anime from the season and maybe from the year.

Success, fulfillment, or maybe material wealth. Ultimately the series has a positive sort of nihilistic theme as >>756674 said. The girls float through life without a care, slowly making progress toward the top level with the vague hope that something positive comes out of it. Chito makes a diary to stave off the feelings of meaninglessness while Yuuri has fully embraced them. The people they meet along the way have their own purposes in life and seek fulfillment from them, even if they seem pointless in the grand scheme of things. (I liked that they had drastically different reactions to failure.)

Just watched this episode.
The most "free" I've ever felt in my life was when I dropped out of college. I had been struggling for months and falling into depression about my failing grades which only made them worse, and hadn't been speaking to my parents. When I got the news from the school that they were kicking me out for having shit grades, and told my parents, there was a brief moment where I felt more relieved than I ever have before or again. I had failed, but finally the failure was so massive that I was no longer expected to try and correct it. Concrete proof college wasn't for me, just go do something else. Anything else. For a few days I was just riding out the end of the semester responsibility-free, I didn't have to worry about school work and I didn't have to worry about my parents chewing me out until they came to get me later. I had the option to appeal the dropout and try again, but frankly, didn't want to put myself through the same shit twice. With my previous notion of what my life would be completely blown away, I had total freedom to reinvent myself and do anything I wanted from that point. I wasn't tied to any particular path anymore. None of my previous decisions mattered. My life ahead was nothing but open choice, and it was kind of exhilarating.
I think this is what Ishii felt like when she was hanging from the parachute.

How the fuck were they able to see the stars in the first episode when they were beneath another level of the city?

Team Rocket?
Wait, do they know Pokemon in that universe? They don't even have a clue what an afterlife is, or what temples are, yet they know what Pokemon are?

Just when I thought of dropping this show because I found it boring, I got a good laugh out of this. It can stay for now.

Nice job brainlet, but college is a bit of a meme.
