Remains the girl may be the most damsel to ever distress and the twists were predictable but Remains the planet was a monstrous, terrifying, unknowable force with a great icky design for its surface and behaviour as well as the zoomed-out look. Equally frightening were the humans willing to commit atrocities in their vain attempt to understand and fight such a meaningless apocalypse. Appreciate the bright-spot characters among all the monsters for balance, and the balls to the wall scale of the destruction.
Graphic: Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Torture, and Genocide
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Pedophilia, and Sexual assault
