About Last Hope

Here is what Last Hope (Juushinki Pandora) is about, retold in plain terms: a sci-fi and mecha anime by Satelight (2018). At its core: The series is set in a near-future realm where the boundary between human being and AI is vague. A rapid biological evolution, similar to "Cambrian Explosion," is caused by one incident.

From there, this incident turns into the genesis of a new jostle for supremacy, and the influence of the evolution goes beyond biological framework and spreads to various kinds of materials and technologies. The era of massive evolution involving diverse existences, such as human, machines, and biotechnologies, is coming. Characters fight an existential war in such a realm.

With sci-fi at the core, ideas, tech concepts and production design set it apart. It will appeal most to fans of futuristic settings and big-concept stories.
