Synopsis:
Centuries after a cataclysmic thaw reshaped the world, humanity faces imminent extinction. Born from a fragmented lineage, the remaining humans exist in a perpetual cycle of cloning, struggling to rediscover lost knowledge and resources amidst a submerged landscape. A small band of survivors ventures onto the water's surface, driven by the desperate need for sustenance and a hope for salvation. They stumble upon others possessing vital supplies, initiating a perilous journey to evade those who would exploit their newfound advantage. Their quest is not merely for survival, but for a singular source of aid – a last resort in a world where everything essential has vanished. The series explores themes of adaptation, desperation, and the fragile nature of life in the face of overwhelming loss, portraying a somber yet persistent fight for existence.

Vie Durant is not really an animation, but a slideshow for an audiobook. Since it has short episodes, it's an okay way to kill time while doing something else, if you can understand japanese (I couldn't find subtitled episodes online). The story wasn't anything marvellous, but it wasn't bad either. The plot was quite predictable, and I think the series might have been less detached if there were less characters. The characters didn't have time to develop very far, and many of them were left shallow. The characters were stereotypical, too. If you want your characters to be more memorable, don't name them as letters fromalphabet!nnArt itself wasn't that bad, characters were decently well drawn. The character design was quite old fashioned, and the designer seemed to have a thing for j-rockers. The background art wasn't memorable, which is a shame. The art focused mostly on the characters, anyway. The only bits of animation that I remember, were ripples of water, and the butterfly blood scene.nnThe audio was pleasant to listen, and they had paid attention to the sfx, which was nice. The stereotypical character voice acting was sometimes distracting, though.nnThis wasn't bad, but the lack of animation and outstanding characters makes this forgettable.
