The girls no longer have to live in a doomed, frozen world, and finally made it to the warm paradise they longed for]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Despite its relatively light-hearted tone, the story makes it clear that Chito and Yuuri are virtually the only people left on the planet wandering around in a gray and dying world; their cute back-and-forths and shenanigans might not be enough to distract some viewers from such a bleak setting.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Humanity has managed to destroy itself almost completely, to the point where a new civilization could very well begin ''and end'' among the ruins, making the setting a [[UpToEleven post-post-apo]]. But for the point-of-view characters this is simply normal - they've never experienced anything else.

** Late in the manga, the girls come across an art museum, filled with paintings and other artistic creations from across the various eras of history. Chiito and Yuri eventually decide to add their own picture to the collection, making a drawing of themselves and putting it up on the wall. However, as the shot zooms out, we see that the spot they chose to hang their drawing is right next to a depiction of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Altamira Altamira Cave paintings]], which were the first ever discovery of prehistoric artwork and some of the oldest known human art that survives today. This leads to a rather poignant shot of humanity's first artwork hanging side by side with humanity's last artwork.

** In Chapter 44 of the manga, the ever-reliable Kettenkrad, the girls' mode of transportation across the entire story, finally gives up the ghost. Chito makes an attempt to fix it, but soon concludes it's hopeless and decides to convert it into a bath so they can take advantage of a nearby hot-water pipe for one last soak. As she and Yuuri get in, her facade finally cracks and she breaks down crying.
** Episode 9 of the anime. The girls find an abandoned aquarium, containing a single fish, along with the aquarium's caretaker, a small, dog-like robot who politely guides them through the facility and even lets them try swimming in one of the empty tanks. Near the end of the episode, a large construction robot begins disassembling the aquarium, following programming orders that are long out of date. The caretaker robot attempts to dissuade the construction robot from continuing, but is unable to convince him to stop, ultimately forcing Yuuri and Chito to save the fish by blowing up the robot with explosives. The entire scene has an air of sadness to it, as the girls effectively end a (robotic) life in the hopes of saving a single fish.

* GeniusBonus: In the opening and in most scenes where the Girls and the Kettenkrad cross from one side of the screen to the other they will be moving from right to left. Those with an astronomical bent know that the Earth rotates to the east - that is, left to right. Just like it says in the opening: So with a 1,2,3 start walking ...in the opposite direction the world is turning.

* FridgeHorror: In episode 12, [[spoiler:Yuuri is SwallowedWhole by a giant cat creature. She actually turns out to be okay, as the giant cat creature says they don't eat living people. But it makes you wonder, what happened to all the dead bodies? The scale of the city highly suggests there must have been tens of thousands, if not millions, of people living in this place, yet the girls never see lots of dead bodies laying around. While many people probably died peacefully, as seen in one of the videos in episode 12, there are also scenes that suggests warfare also occurred. If a person survived but others around them died, seeing one of those cat creatures showing up and eating the dead body, or at least carrying it off, must've no doubt been a terrifying experience, perhaps enough for them to be DrivenToSuicide, especially if it eats someone that person had a strong connection to.]]
