      Yeah cmon you can see the growing plants and all, it's not like people have died an year ago.. More like 15 years ago, when bones have become a part of the soil already or modified for tools lol.

      I think it would be just immature and tasteless to put piles of bones in post-apocalyptic scenery like this so blah.

Looking forward when those greenery scenes will be a true. The humans deserve it.

    That's stupid. haven't you ever looked at satellite images of the earth? what the hell do you think all that green on the map is? Of the %29 of the earth that is land, humans occupy 1% of that. Humans also only put off 1% of all polution (the rest is from volcanoes and fumaroles). Unless your in tokyo, or another big city, the majority of japan is farmland and forests. Same goes for america too. If all you ever see is concrete jungles, take a few step out of the city and look around before you post ignorant crap like that. It's you sheeple listening to all the stupid news stations and crap without researching anything for yourself that piss me off the most.

  そして高橋留美子原作の劇場版第２作目「ビューティフル・ドリーマー」の夢の中に存在する世界観が

  came through Karapaia site and Twitter and I miss the last pictures when you drawn cities overseas, but above arts are also my favorite products, so I think that these are close to the NAUSICAA world　or "Beautiful Dreamer" made by Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura, the animation Movie II.

  こわいのと美しいのと。果たして人間は存在するのか、人の気配なんてしない。Subaru2010さんがおっしゃているように、私もナウシカの世界、そして天空の城ラピュタを想像しました。人間は自然の一部にすぎない。

  I feel fear and beauty of the nature. There is no sign of humans (well that used to be... or hidden??). As Subaru 2010 mentioned, these reminds me of some scenes of "NAUSICAA" and "Castle in the Sky" of Studio Ghibli. Human is just one part of Nature.

  Me da miedo y la sensacion de la belleza de la naturaleza. No hay señas de los humanos ( bueno habia o se esconden...??). Como Subaru 2010 ha contado, me hace recordar de algunas escenas de "NAUSICAA" y "El catillo en el cielo" de Estudio Ghibli. Humano es solo un parte de Naturaleza.

  Because, you realize that... War. War never changes.

  Plus, if it's really post-human, where are all the penguins and their civilisation? I could call this blasphemy! Hail the Great Penguin!
