Honestly?

That decides it...I'm going to the kendo club to find a gf.

Saeko is the best ever...ever...EVER. Its like they took everything I've ever wanted in a women and animated her, since she'll never truly exist LOL. I'm sure many others feel the same way.

I was all smiling and stuff at the end when Takashi and Saeko come walking up like a couple. I was happy he picked the one with intelligence. Then he goes and eff's up the entire episode with that last line... >.>.... Please don't tell me hes gonna pick the helpless girl.... The other girls are cool, but they have nothing on Saeko.

Oh... I see what they did thar.
So to make it possible to end this in 12 episodes, they decided to put chapter 17 here instead, eh?
(Loved ch17 btw, Saeko <3)
Though I'm kind of annoyed at the deviation plotwise which automatically occured by putting this here instead. (I mean... It's not like they're supposed to get that amphibian now >.>)

They skipped the sex scene!!

And instead, they add some exaggerated boob grabbing which just looks perverted unlike how it should've been.

Anyway, still no bus.
Oh and Saya's dad next time : D

Great episode, Saeko is my favorite character in the entire show and this just made me like her even more, was a bit worried that the whole speech about her dark side might of been changed between manga and anime and was glad to see it made the swap almost totally unchanged. Also I lol'ed at the I'm wet part before the EP.

This could just be wishful thinking but perhaps Takashi was just telling himself that he did it "to survive" is because deep inside he's confused about who he truly loves more between Saeko and Rei. Takashi did ask Saeko about her love life out of nowhere, but technically speaking he is with Rei at the moment so maybe he was just telling himself those words to try to justify his inner guilt of cheating on Rei in this episode.

Besides, in a way Rei seems using Takashi in order for her survival too since she trusts him and likewise Takashi wants Saeko to live so he can survive and the main reason for that is because he knows that Saeko is one of the most dependable people among the group, which proves he trusts her.

So my point is maybe there is more to the meaning of that last line than we all think, hopefully the upcoming episodes will show more development between Takashi and Saeko

Recap:

+ Saeko's true nature revealed. Interest +50
+ Hinted Seako x Komuro. Good, good
+ Bare minimum of Rei, Takagi and more importantly: Shizuka
+ Non-projectile action
+ Milder than usual fanservice, which suits me just fine
+ *cough* Nice Komuro "heroics"
- Unfortunate lack of Hirano
--------------------------

Conclusion: Very pleased

Okay, no long highlights part for this EP because EVERY scene with Saeko in it can be described with 1 word: Godly.
I lol'd at this part:



Overall score: 10(m)/10

(The ED is quite cheerful in this one.....but...not as good as the last one)

One of my favorite chapters...went very different from what I imagined. With this chapter being placed here, it seriously screws up the next events to happen. They weren't supposed to get that amphibious vehicle and most importantly, Saeko's sword, yet. Where did she get that anyway? >.>

But what the heck, the episode is all about Saeko(voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki) so it's pure win!! Boob grabbing and Saeko's wet line are kinda off though. And what is with the fade to black before it when morning? Implied happenings? That didn't happen in the manga. Maybe that's why "They" arrived at the shrine, they were too noisy lol =P.

So we get the lotion part, Takagi's dad and more drama next time. I hope the issues about the vehicle and the sword get sorted out in the next episodes. Now waiting for my final favorite part of the manga which involves a group of people.

Even though all those changes, it was pretty good(Wait... kiss? Why, how? щ(゚Д゚щ). But i feel it's gonna hurt plot later, i mean, they were supposed to meet at the mall. Then again, this increases chances for ending before right before mall arc.

Also, why did they add this Takashi's line at the end? They're making a dick out of him. щ(゚Д゚щ) Wich means Manga Takashi> Anime Takashi.

And animated Saeko is priceless so...

My opinion -

The great :
Character Relations between Komuro & Saeko
The good :
Fight scenes
Random Fan service which is to be honest, better than usual
The bad :
The way Takashi stated he only did it to "Survive"

Is it me or is Takashi a dick? >=|

I thought the "We shouldn't go any further" was quite obvious as to what they did before he said that, and why he got a hard-on.


This isn't going to end well and I forgot that scene.. -_-
If he ends up with Rei, I'm going to rate this at least a 5. If he ends up with Saeko, at least an 8 or possibly 9. Well, since that scene with Saeko in the anime was added then that's a good sign at least. But Rei is going to be so annoying next episode though.

It wasn't supposed to be like that. He was supposed to just embrace her. Then when he was getting into the latter parts of his "cheesy" speech, he kind of grabbed her boobs to
stop her trembling. Or was it because Takashi was getting emotional in his speech that he was trembling, I can't remember or interpret how it went. Correct me if I'm wrong :|.

Best episode of this series so far.

I remember when I was reading the manga a long time ago that it was at that moment that I really fell for Saeko. Best character, closely followed by Komuro and Kouta.

I beg to differ, I don't think it was censored.
TBH, I think it was left out on purpose, u know, to let the fans imagine what happened during the night after they kissed.

I think you people are misunderstanding what he said in the end.

When he said he accepted it to survive, he means it in terms of:

Accepting everything after the zombie apocalypse, in order to survive.
People who don't accept whats happening end up killing themselves or dying in some stupid way, EXAMPLE: That teacher in ep1, that kills himself etc etc.

So in order for him to survive he had to accept everything that's happening ( thing he was doing since the zombie apocalypse ), killing people, killing kids, robbing, zombie genocide, and other human people *insert Saeko here*

TD;DR he adapted to this new world, else he would not suvive. NOT I nailed her to survive.

You made me re-watch that scene. And i'm a bit confused. Though you may be right. He says that he accepted everything in order to survive, so yeah it's nothing against Saeko, now that i think about it. Besides, he didn't have to mean only his own survival, right?

I really cant understand how ppl can rate this crap with 10/10 if they arent some horny teenagers in puberty but anyways I planned to drop this series with this episodebut then i saw this:



For me it was so ridiclious thus funny that i couldnt stop laughing about the absurdity. Thats why i ll finish the last 3 episodes (just for the lulz) but if they make a 2nd season ill pass .

This is weird...the zombie still have a bit brain to know not to cross the water.

Saeko is very sexy when She got wet ^,^ .... but how come Takashi doesn't get wet at all??.....Well, I don't want to see Takashi nor Hirano naked anyway . I am cool with this.

Saeko's fight is really good.At least there is no goddamn matrix ecchi ruin this time(sometimes I really hate the camera man!!!).Well, there is a plot when she stop hitting the kids, and she don't want to admit that she is a sadist ^.^
Yepee, Miko zombie !!!

It is weirdly necessary, during the flashback, Saeko get herself rape just to make a good reason to fight back.
Right now,Takashi trying to simulate to same situation again in Takahi's style .Basically, girl only listen to men when they punish them hard enough.
during when Takashi harass her boobs. She get excited. Masochist confirm !!

The fact that he felt comfortable enough to passionately and violently grab her breasts indicates that something more than just a kiss happened in that shrine the night before. He accepted her to survive, but I'm more than sure that he got a little enjoyment out of it too.

Well that was kind of out of left field. I had Takashi pegged as ending up with Rei as would be typical in most manga/anime childhood friends continued relationship fashion. This was a great surprise.

Now it seems we will get to see the new power mad guy trying to run things. Hope that is dealt with quickly before the end of this season (I'm counting on atleast two more 12 to 13 episode seasons just to wrap up all the loose ends.)
