[[The End of the World as We Know It|Something hugely nasty]] has happened to humanity. Be it nuclear war (which was once very popular but has gone out of vogue, in part due to [[The Great Politics Mess-Up]]), plague (which currently seems to be the most popular), natural disaster (which seems the most likely to happen in the near future in [[Real Life]]), [[World-Wrecking Wave|supernatural disaster]] (usually the case with a [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] or missing [[Cosmic Keystone]]), devastating [[Gaia's Lament|environmental changes]] (which are happening in [[Real Life]] right now, debatably) or [[Alien Invasion]] (God help us if ''that'' one happens)-- most of humanity is gone.

== Anime
* ''[[Violence Jack]]'' by [[Go Nagai]] is perhaps the first anime/manga example.
* ''[[Akira]]''
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
* The world of ''[[Toriko]]'' was ravaged by war in the past. Then the legendary chef Acacia invited the world leaders to a full-course meal consisting of ingredients from the Gourmet World. After eating the main course called "GOD", the world leaders experienced enlightenment and worked together to bring about peace.
* In [[The World God Only Knows]], the civil war between the [[Noble Demon|good demons]] and their former rulers rendered Hell a desolate wasteland, forcing the New Devils to live in floating cities. As a result, {{spoiler|[[The Remnant|Vintage]] plans to [[Hell on Earth|resurrect Old Hell in the bountiful human world]]}}.
== Fan Fic ==▼
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7233104/1/The_10th_Level The 10th Level] nicely covers the fridge logic of the Code Geass ending.▼
* The ''[[1983 Doomsday Stories]]'' all take place after a nuclear war broke out in [[The Eighties]], and what happened after ''that.'' From the perspective of [[Axis Powers Hetalia|the Nations themselves]].▼
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4797162/1/The_Faceless The Faceless]'' is a ''[[Death Note]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic|AU]] which explores the [[Fridge Horror]] of having an entire realm of Death Gods that only need your name and face to kill you and [[Dying Like Animals|what would happen]] once the [[Broken Masquerade|Masquerade Broke]].▼
* Part of the premise of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] fanfic, [[End of Ponies]].▼
** A popular fan speculation takes the show's [[Schizo-Tech]] and some apparently human-oriented objects (benches, tools, a train with a locomotive engine but is pulled by manual power) and draws the conclusion that Equestria is a distant post-apocalyptic [[Scavenger World]] built on the ruins of human civilization.▼
Line 104 ⟶ 97:
* ''V for Vendetta'' is set in a world that was almost completely destroyed by a nuclear war, presumably only the British Islands are still intact; it's mentioned at one point that "there is no Africa any more".
