Touring After the Apocalypse

Touring After the Apocalypse is a sci-fi slice-of-life drama anime produced by Nexus, directed by Yoshinobu Tokumoto, with series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Based on the manga by Saito Sakae, the series follows Youko and Airi on a journey that blends science fiction with a quietly healing, everyday atmosphere. The unique combination of a sci-fi setting and a gentle, contemplative tone makes this TV anime a distinctive offering for fans of thoughtful, emotionally resonant storytelling.

Touring After the Apocalypse is set in a post-civilization Japan where the hustle and bustle of everyday life has long since faded into silence. Streets once crowded with people and traffic now stretch out empty and open, slowly being reclaimed by nature. Against this backdrop, two young women — Youko and Airi — mount a Serow off-road motorbike and set out on an open-ended journey across the remnants of the country. With no other vehicles on the road and no traffic signals to stop them, the pair experience a kind of freedom that the old world never allowed. They visit landmarks that once drew crowds, now peaceful and entirely their own, capturing the quiet beauty of a changed world through photographs and making camp in towns overgrown with greenery. It's an unconventional road trip story that finds wonder and tranquility in the aftermath of the end.
