Yes. Somehow this isn't the Rea voice I imagine... but I will get used to it somehow!
Mero is so spot on especially the voice!

Anyways, the animation is damn GOOD.
This is my most awaited anime. Looking at the length of the manga, this anime can only have until 12-13 episodes. Unless, they put some kind of filler that will go indepth to our characters. I hope it is more than 13 episodes!

Cannot wait for more!

Mero's and Ranko's voices approved. They work pretty damn well, especially Mero. Still not sure what to think about Rea's voice, at times it's too cutesy but overall it should be okay. I had perfect voice for her in my head, can't remember the seiyuu i meant though.

The episode was pretty well done, especially for deen. I'm suprised at how well character's look.

Yeah ! i love this movie , i too see this moments

Anime is good , i just wait for polish lyrics , i be watching this , because this is cool , i love this opening ^^
LOL nice i knew something was up with that scene i just couldn't remember it *why is he holding a cricket bat?!*

as for the episode was pretty damn cool i was excited to see this series when i heard about it and i enjoyed it alot,nice art MC(even though he looks like a cat) is pretty funny and the female lead is nice too good to know Shaft is working on this because i had monogatari vibes all over.

and plus 1 for having nano RIPE for the op love them from watching Hanasaku Iroha :D

WOW.

My expectations for this series were low: first off, I don't get too excited for manga adaptations. Secondly, LOL DEEN.

My expectations were raised a bit upon reading the positive reviews here, but I still thought "There's no way DEEN could have struck gold here. Bullshit."

They really, really did. That was FANTASTIC! Absolutely adore the MC, absolutely adore Rea, absolutely adore the visuals (wtf are you doing DEEN? These visuals are actually great, omg), absolutely adore the atmosphere, etc etc.
Of course, the downside still is that this is an adaptation of an ongoing manga so it's not gonna get a proper ending unless there is a second season. Also Ranko is highly annoying, she's already getting on my nerves.

A new character is introduced in chapter 10 of the manga, and then there's a perfect stopping point in chapter 20.

I hope DEEN don't do the stupid stuff.

...this show is bringing out the fucked up people in this community for sure.

In any case, show has an interesting theme and the first episode was entertaining. Besides the zombie fetish which is beyond weird. Mix of cute/comedy/and serious tones. Hopefully all are mixed well together throughout the show.

Nah he just looks like that in the manga he has cat like chibi mode when it's comedy time but here in the anime he isn't like that which kinda sucks for me though lol

Lol, wasn't disappointed at all with the episode!

The anime character adaptation of the manga design was top notch! The voice actors were perfect for the job and Babu looked much more like a cat in the anime!

Gonna enjoy watching the series because the manga is a definite reader.

Just hate waiting every week though :/ And also, I realised that any manga that is going to be turned into an anime just somehow delays the chapter releases... Why?!!

Not exactly what I was expecting (I don't read the manga so I was a bit clueless) but I liked it. The characters design are a bit too plain for my liking but at least Rea is cute. Let's see what happens next. I really want more zombie goodness XD

The OP made me immediately think of "Hanasaku Iroha" (which I miss dearly). I guess RIPE left me traumatized -__-

Another person who read and loved the manga before the anime was announced. Agree with others, a pretty good adaption of the first few chapters of the manga. Voice work is good, some of the added scenes were nice, animation is good. I hope it continues what it's doing since if it does, like the manga, it'll really start picking up soon. I also wasn't that big of a fan of the opening. It's not bad, it just strikes me as a bit... Unfitting. This is working off the assumption that the series like the first episode doesn't stray too far from the manga.

No spoilers, but if they end where I think they're going to end in the manga, it'll be very interesting how they pull that final episode.

Great episode. This, Uchuu Kyoudai & Accel World are the best anime for the season so far. Looking forward to episode 2.

Thought it was interesting that Sanka wasn't immediately turned off by Furuya's suggestion that she become a zombie. The ending was really freaky too o.O

5/5.

Out of curiosity... why are so much people calling this a Shaft series? (Producers: Studio Deen, FUNimation EntertainmentL, Lantis)

Unless one of the staff is somehow affiliated with Shaft, since I don't keep track with staff very often, then I see no reason why.

I'm very iffy about the whole human x zombie romance. Especially with the fact that the main character has a fetish for them... I mean won't that be considered necrophilia? I don't know... I love the animation, but the theme... and the attitudes... Kinda something that I'm queezy about.

I mean I have see dead bodies and have dissected them (anatomy, yay!) but being that someone would fall in love with the dead body itself and to actively seek it out? Makes my skin crawl... I'll keep watching, but the notion of that undead love will always come knocking back from the back my mind.

7/10 because of that...

Because the way it was directed kind of looked like SHAFT, random face close ups, weird camera angles, weird head positions, etc.

I see... Well, as much as I love Shafts work, this show needs to up it's "wtf is going on in the background" more for me to consider it to be similar. Also, needs the infamous head tilt.

Why it's quite simple, for it's a big IF the spell he is doing works on the cat and perhaps he tries on Rea, it might. However not sure Rea wants to do it even though she expressed it clearly she is willing to try. As of this episode he is trying his best to work it out.

Does that explain it? As for spoilers, read manga and that's all.
