From the viewers of the world of entertainment arts and movies that reflect the society as quickly as possible, it can be said that it was a year when the world view and values ​​that we have accumulated have been greatly shaken. And this year it was pointed out that the year of the destruction of humanity by Maya's prophecies, and there are many people who have vague uneasiness as to how the future world will become.
This time, I picked up the work whose "end feeling" was depicted from the movie released in Shibuya. Of course, it is "the end" that never experienced any one of us who is currently living.
