Although I've tried the search function, I couldn't find anything about "Afterworld", a computer animated SciFi series.

Even IMDB knows only little about it, so I copied a plot description from Wikipedia:

After travelling to New York City on a business trip, Russell Shoemaker wakes to find all electronic technology dead and more than 99% of the human race missing. Driven by a need to discover the truth and determined to return to his family, he embarks on a journey to his home in Seattle, while recording and telling all of the events in his journal. Afterworld is the story of Russell's 3,000-mile (4,800 km) trek across a post-apocalyptic America as he encounters the strange new societies rebuilding themselves. Along the way, he also attempts to solve the mystery of what caused this global event, which survivors refer to as "the Fall."

In addition to new forms of government, Russell discovers that technology has failed due to a persistent electromagnetic pulse, a product of a collection of satellites that was activated almost simultaneously to the Fall. An additional side effect of the EMP is the rapid mutation of many forms of life, including Shoemaker himself. He describes that his night-vision has improved dramatically, along with his endurance. Other examples are seen in cattle Russell happens across, who're dying of a previously unheard form of necrotizing fasciitis.

Russell's journey eventually brings him to a nearly deserted San Francisco, and the headquarters of an organization known as the Parthia Group, who had developed a form of nano-technology, which identified humans with a particular genetic makeup.


Here is a Youtube link to nicely sorted 130 episodes of Afterworld. Other languages are also available on Youtube: Spain, German, ...

There is an official website about the Afterworld series "www.afterworld.tv" with many links to foreign languages, but not all are connected or (even worse) not all are allowed for external visitors.

It took me two days but I watched the entire series and It was really great!! Until the very last 20 seconds of the 130th episode. Then I was like, "uuuugh! REALLY??"
Too bad that despite their promises, it doesnt look like a season 2 is coming any time soon.

Episodes on youtube. So far what I've watched has been really good. Apocalypse, end of civilization, etc. Not too shabby for 3 minute episodes. Surprised this is in anime and not sci-fi or even teen cartoons as it is not anime. Just animated. Almost posted a duplicate thread in the sci-fi section.

http://www.youtube.com/user/AfterworldTV All episodes. Much easier to use than the actual Afterworld website.
