Review:
The main character of this adult animated comedy-drama, Carol Kohl, is 42 and unemployed when a planet mysteriously appears in the sky, due to collide with Earth and wipe out all life in 8 months. This causes the breakdown of society, with people choosing to follow their dreams and make the most of the time they have left. Carol is encouraged to do the same but she enjoys her routine and doesn’t desire adventure.
It was very nice to see such a person represented, enjoying a small life even if it’s limited. As expected for a series about routine, it’s very decompressed and ponderous but overall sweet and artistic.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): sex and nudity, corpse
