Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless

Girls’
Last Tour tried something a little more different this week: another
one-segment episode featuring a new one-off character the girls help out, as
well as having most of the episode take place in a rather slow-moving montage.
As always, it was a success, although
I felt myself a little more disinterested than usual thanks to the lack of
necessary dialogue to follow.
The jalopy has broken down, but
thankfully there’s a mechanic nearby to fix it. Her name is Ishii, and she is
trying to escape the city via airplane. Chi and Yuu agree to help her build the
plane in exchange for fixing the car, and them working together take up the
majority of the episode.
Most of the episode is spent in a
musical montage. Beautiful operatic music that we’ve heard a few times before
in the series plays in the background as they repair the plane. It’s not the
most engaging thing in the world, but it sure is relaxing to watch. Things
start to get a bit grimmer towards the end, but as is the norm for this show,
it all ends in a pretty cushy and cheerful way, but not without some darker
overtones.
So yeah, not the most eventful episode
overall. It’s definitely worth seeing for how cute and relaxing it is, but it
does nothing for the overall building story of discovering what’s up with this
crazy city and where everyone went.
FINAL SCORE
7/10
Good
