About AFTERLOST

Looking for background on AFTERLOST (Shoumetsu Toshi)? This action, adventure and fantasy series by Madhouse (2019) starts out like this. The premise: One day, a metropolis suddenly disappears. Takuya, a professional by-the-contract courier and lone wolf, crosses paths with Yuki, the only survivor from the city's extinction.

As things develop, the two rely on a message from Yuki's father, who was heard to be missing, and head toward the disappeared town, Lost. However, surprising obstacles strike before the pair, with the reality especially shocking for Yuki. Before them are the feelings of those left behind, a mysterious group manipulating in the shadows, and unveiling the hidden conspiracy.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

It aired in 2019, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
