Miki officially joins the School Life Club and agreed with acting along with Yuki's delusions!
The music on the scene where Miki is questioning Yuki about the existence of Megu was slowly becoming twisted until it fades of was EPIC! like dark epic!
ED this time for ep6 is different but still performed by Kurosaki Maon...which is great again!
5/5.

Welp, honestly threw me a curve ball and I totally did not catch it before.

Now I gotta watch the past episodes to see if there were any inconsistencies.

Unfortunately, I'm too lazy for that.

RIP in peace and in pieces, Megu-nee (yes, it's intentional).

honestly, that's a stupid thing to say.
if they are not interested and/or emotionally invested in a show, they have the complete right to drop an anime and waste their time on a show they actually enjoy. or go do something else they like.

But dropping a show solely because the pacing is not up to what you were expecting doesn't mean you should just straight up drop it. Of course they would have a right to drop the anime, but the problem occurs when you dropped it because there was something minor that you didn't like, like not liking a tsundere or some accident happened and someone got seriously hurt.

If there's a lot of things about an anime that you really don't like (say, Mahou Sensou, which had extremely poor delivery of story in many areas), then it would be fine to drop. But Gakkou Gurashi is exploring a genre that's not really common, the dark moe genre of some sort, and it's not doing half bad.

I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

I think that's what makes people differ (in styles, tastes, likes/dislikes, etc). If every people like this show, score and rating will be perfect 10.0/10. People can get easily annoyed by chara's face, voice, attitudes, and prefer not to continue watching no matter how good the plot if they have to "suffer" or got urge to punch something. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people lol ~
Your sig is also one-sided because that's your opinion anyway and it seemed you try to forced it on everyone. If I have to picture myself as MC of certain anime, I would be the happiest. Have a power normal human can't, surrounded by cute girls, saving world and branded a hero, what more would you ask..!? Next why should I relate it with real life, there's nothing real it's just a show created for ENTERTAINMENT. Every show cannot entertain everybody. If you doesn't feel even a little bit entertained, why should you continue watching..!? To show that you endure and live to tell the tale, for stacking MAL completed list..!? Smh ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Wait, what was that? They cut out alot of stuff from the manga. Well, that's what happens when a studio tries to make 3 shows at once.

Decent episode though, I guess Lerche was looking for a way to establish Miki's relationship with Yuki in a more simple, less tense manner.

They implicitly state Megu-nee is dead now, that took a while after all the suggestions.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

Sorry if I offended you with that post. I've met a good bunch of people who really fit 'this' category, so it wasn't met to apply to those who understood. I want to note that entertainment and real life are linked closely (to a degree). If they never did apply to real life in some sort of way then there would be no reason for it to be made to begin with. It's the same reason why you can create a story with a cardboard box on it's journey to find it's home.

My sig, need to reword. I can only fit so much T_T

To those giving a negative response to Megu-nee's death reveal when it was so obvious from the first episode. It isn't necessarily a negative thing for the reveal to happen this late in the series, as the reveal wasn't for us persey, it was more for getting Miki into the consensus that Yuki has gone off the deep end. So the whole purpose of the reveal wasn't to confirm it for the viewer, it was to introduce Miki to the situation of Yuki and how she handles it. At least that's what was meant to be portrayed; I could be wrong of course :P.

As for thoughts, I thought this episode was exceedingly better than the last 2, which were still good in their own right. I hope the story actually starts progressing now, because although I like that they took the time to flesh out the backstories as much as they could, I think it's about time we stop with the flashbacks and move on with the story.

The scene with Miki and Yuki with the music player slowly running out of battery to make the music more creepy while Miki asked who Megu-nee was was a near perfect scene. I also like how they once again used the ending credits to the best of their ability. Ending credits are usually something I skip, but this is the second time they've used them to really create the atmosphere, what with Megu-nee's character slowly fading out from still images from the first and second episodes of the anime. Still maintaining my AoTS for now.

so they finally confirm that megu-nee is dead but that was pretty obvious since yuki was the only one who ever fully interacted with her

but this was another good episode - the atmosphere was perfect
and despite megu-nee being dead was obvious the reveal was still well executed

Ayy good episode. It was predictable but still gave me an unsettling feeling.

Overall, despite some things were left out, I still think the anime does good in changing some important parts of the manga. I like how it displayed Yuki's mental breakdown in the first episode. The episode gave a lot focus to the interactions between Yuki and her imaginary classmates which makes the revelation more impactful to me. Also the way it handled Toroumaru and Megu is really well done so far. Just few examples. All in all, it's a good adaptation though it's toned down.

I feel like there's some kind of societal message here, the zombies with reminiscent memories who still go home at night, Miki who abandoned all else to survive, Megu-nee who was a less than ideal teacher before the incident being a pillar for the group and most of all Yuki.

We see Yuuri and Kurumi have an understanding of Yuki which looks past all the crazy. Yuki has the sheer idealism which cant ignore someone in need, when Kurumi was decapitating her lost love, when Megu-nee sacrificed herself and despite her mental state, Yuki finds the courage to head into the mob and save Miki where everyone else was hesitant.

In the end, had none of this happened, Yuki would surely just be labelled off as just another weirdo who wouldn't be able to function in society.

Due to the flash back episodes it did make it a little confusing as to when she died.
To try to clarify: In the events of ep 3 (where we saw Megu-nee wake up and go to the school and then the roof with yuki, Rii and Kurumi) she was alive. She died somewhere between that episode and ep 1.
So if you wanted to watch the series in actual chronicle order it would be.
Ep 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, and now 7.

Hope that helps.

something interesting I noticed during the big reveal...

when Miki asks Yuki about Megu-nee, the top two circles in her eyes disappear.

i believe this happened in another episode when Yuki encounters the zombies..

any thoughts? it seems like it happens whenever she 'snaps out' of her delusions and its a pretty cool artistic choice.

When Yuki saw Miki on the piano while Rii-san was holding her. She then had a flash which was Megu-nee obviously if you just paused. Some people even dropped the spoiler tag because of that in the 5th episode thread lol.

Go in the easter egg thread, it was pointed out before and it's probably to represent her insanity when someone try to slap the reality in her face.

Oh Megu-nee... I was hoping that she'll survive the whole series, but still keeping in mind that there's a possibility which she might die at certain point, in the future. But never expected it this way. Should've seen that coming... especially the fact that she tended to get ignored all along this time. Twist from episode 1 all over again.
This episode also got me to a conclusion that Takeya Yuki is a 5-star schizophreniac

My mind stopped working for the rest of the episode after the big revelation. Not only did they kill off a lovable character, but she never existed during the majority of her screen time. That ending was so heartbreaking, especially showing her picture in the drawing fade away at the very end of it.

I normally can see these twists coming a mile off but this time around I did not see this coming. But I wonder, if Megu-nee has been dead since the day of the incident then how was she writing about what happened and about the aftermath of the outbreak a few episodes back?
That couldn't have been Yuki projecting in any shape or form as Yuki is not even aware about the zombie catastrophe.

I had thought Megu-nee was dead since pretty much the beginning. Everyone "ignoring" her seemed like a pretty obvious hint. But I was also looking for stuff like that based on the first ep reveal. If I wasn't paying close attention it might have been more shocking. I'm excited to see where it goes from here though. And I hope they later show the scene where Megu died.
