(spoilers) Shometsu Toshi is a real masterpiece. Never before have I been so amazed by a work of fiction. It is pure perfection. The characters, the setting, the plot, the small nuances, foreshadowing, sound effects, music, cinematography... the list goes on and on and on. I seriously don't know where to start with this anime. To be honest, I watched it as a joke because I got the character in my gacha game. But never did I think that it would be the best anime of all time. First, where do I start? I don't know where to start. Please. Theres too much to this animethat is perfection. I think the surge particles (haha, Shoumetsu Toshi reference!) got to me and caused me to forget about where to start.

First, I will start with the characters. They are amazing. Most of them are introduced in the episode where they die, which adds to the despair and suspense that the show instills in the viewer. This show is not for the faint of heart. There is real hurt. Real pain. Real trauma. Real despair. Real life. This show is so meaningful. The characters are great. Theres the protagonist, Yuki, who has experienced so much suffering. Theres Takuya, the courier, who didn't fulfill his tragic past. And all the other ones I don't remember the names of, like the magician guy who Twitter cancelled the evil Lacuna. All these characters have an amazing story to tell and tell it in a way that causes the viewer to truly understand their pain and hurt and suffering. Which only makes the triumphant ending even better.

The show is amazing the plot is amazing. The plot is that there is a giant hole that they must go to the bottom of because a message from Yuki's supposedly dead parent emerged from the area. The hole was formed by The Lost (which is a very cool and cool sounding name) which caused a whole city to disappear. They finally make it to the actual hole in the last episode which was the coolest episode. The ending was amazing. You see,
along Yuki's journey, many people die or lose their siblings or something (she lost her younger brother) and this woman wiht green hair dies and this woman with brown hair dies and this guy with purple hair almost dies but didn't until the last episode, and she is given the choice to give them all a perfect world, reset the universe, where they can all be happy with no repercussions. She is the only one who can make this choice, the choice given to her by her supposedly dead father who is a Data Man now. Of course, she chooses to not reset the world, because she would be sad if everyone didn't go through all of those experiences. The Lost is still growing ever larger and in a few decades, will swallow the whole world unless Yuki chooses to reset the universe (which she did not do). This is an extremely meaningful ending that means a lot because it shows how the right choice isn't always the good choice. I think we can all learn from Shoumetsu Toshi in this way.

One last thing... this anime has EXTREMELY ACCURATE SCIENCES. They talk about parallel universes which is a real scientific concept. I don't see your Steins Gate talking about parallel universes now, do I? They even mention SURGE PARTICLES which are really scientific and make you lose your memories unless you are from another universe. I'm disappointed they didn't mention Alpha, Gamma, or Delta particles, but I'm sure its simply because they realised the simple minded viewers wouldn't understand such incredibly conplex scientific concepts which, if you ask me, was quite kind to the viewers to make this decision because without it we would not be able to understand the magnificent story of Shoumetsu Toshi.
I give this anime a 10/10 and the joe fortnite award.

I cried. Every episode. At every single cut-away gunshot I cried. i thought they would die... but they didn't. The pure resilience despite the despair showed the light of hope at me and taught me many valuable lessons.

Please. Watch this anime.
