Great! This anime is still doing as nicely as I expected!
Deen's doing a great job, definitely in the top 3 animes of the season ♥ They've managed to transfer the story from the manga really well so far, I hope they keep up with it :3
Finally we're getting to the serious business, now we are past the start after Rea's death, can't wait for more~

Babu is adorable, even better than I expected :p

In fact, yes. But they found a way to somewhat preserve her body.


Well that sucks. Then she will look like a horror abomination in a year. And how will he have her as a girlfriend when she will smell awful. The guy really is a weirdo with his zombie girlfriend fetish.

In fact, that's one of the biggest issues in the series. They are trying to find ways how to preserve and keep her body from rotting so she could live normally (well, as normally as a zombie possibly could...) for as long as possible, preferably forever :P

I was blown away at how her death occurred. It was well done because we all know that she was gonna die and be reborn in this episode and so the process of waiting another week begins all over again.

I don't know what else to say. Maybe her becoming a zombie was the only way to get to be with Furuya. But it was sad to see Rea die, from a living perspective. But then again, the life she led as a living was horrible.

Next episode, she will be getting her human form back, a tid bit operated and probably will have that bandage on her abdomen for the rest of her life, since that's how zombies' live (like they ever lived, lol)

But the poor as*hole of a father got what he deserved. No more photography session for now.

Anyone noticed the blurred (censored) side view when Rea was walking towards Furuya?

Well then we can have zombie version of Saya no Uta. LOL. Don't worry, she won't bloat anytime soon.

Also, it's called necrophilia. Except the corpses are animated. Somewhat makes it less disturbing?

After the first episode I knew that this anime would be one of the best in this season and it still seems like it now. I really enjoy every episode, every abstract, symbolic scene and just take a close look at the opening: With Babu's help (death and resurrection) he can save Rea from the thick, high grass where she had gotten lost (family) and flies with her to a bright sky (future).

The outcome of this specific episode was predictable but yet enjoyable, except Rea father's actions to cut off Furuya's balls. WTF? And what's with the gay scene at the boy's school? Is he that sex obsessed that he doesn't care if his target is male or female anymore?

I also pity Sanka for being the scapegoat of the family's reputation. The public would be much more shocked about her father beating her and making nude photos and of her mother bein drunk all the time than over Sanka roaming freely in the city.

I'm looking forward to the next episodes!

Yeah but a dead body isn't necessary a zombie. From what i heard Necrophiliacs like the whole non having any life in it. A zombie might have a dead body but it still has a life in it.
You can argue that a zombie is alive as much as you can argue that is dead, especially in the way zombies are in this show. Me being alive is not based only in the fact that my body isn't rotting. It's also based on the fact that i think speak and move.I could very welt get some rare decease that makes my body rot. Will people say am dead?
This guy has a completely new unique fetish based on zombies.

The problem is that discussing "life" and "death" with the subject being undead is kinda pointless. Also, normal zombies do not think, speak and only move. Furuya was attracted to that but got a zombie that can think and speak and move instead (otherwise this series would have been pointless)... at least for now.

As much as I agree with both of you, you must know that the whole zombie process was not done with a infections but rather a potion. That concept itself rules anything of cliche from zombies. Hence it's very hard to even argue both your points cause nothing is common of zombies in all this. Like they don't think nor talk.

This what they are showing due to the potion effects.

This show is WAY better than I expected when seeing the preview back then.
Oh fuck I really thought that Rea would be saved in that last moment but then it really happened and she's back as a zombie now. Not that I'm surprised since the show's theme pretty much indicates it but I still thought that the series would resolve around the two of them being humans and Rea being prevented from turning into a zombie. Well guess I was wrong which makes the remaining nine (?) episodes even more interesting. Can't wait for next week and without a doubt a 5/5 score for this week's episode.

You could try something more "latin-like"...

It could be "Denecrophilia" - Love for the removal of death. Then again, that sounds like he likes making zombies...

Or "Reviviphilia" - Love for that which lives again.

Wow she revived in just minutes while Babu took at least an hour or so...maybe because Babu had been dead for days while she took the potion several hours before she actually died?

Do zombies heal anyway? I think she at least have a broken spine or several broken ribs from that fall alone, so she should be crawling on the ground and not standing upright... >_<

This is a key detail that will most likely pop up a few times over the course of the episodes. The fact that Rea took it while she was alive, while Babu got it when he was already dead seems to be the key to not just understanding Rea's condition, but perhaps even how to reverse it, or at least make it more lasting,
.

People have survived falls from greater heights than that and didn't break anything. Anime physics aside, I can think of a few factors that prevented Rea from getting any bone fractures and/or neural damage:
- The tree branch. Since it tore open her abdomen, I think it's safe to say it took away some of the energy from her fall.
- The flower patch. It's not exactly a soft landing, but falling into soft soil makes for a relatively softer impact than if she had fallen on a rock, concrete floor, or any other type of hard surface.

And to the people saying he left Ranko behind, he didn't even notice her. He was so fixated at chasing Babu (im sure you guys have at least one moment where you are so fixated with something you forget everything around you) and he said it few minutes after that she didn't follow him


Oh how I love the adaptation of this anime (Tasogare would've more impact if they didn't do that ep1 and started it normally ). The voices really brings out the characteristics of everyone especially Babu!! LOL

I'm not gonna lie, this show is putting me waaaaayyy out of my comfort range. The dead and reanimation I can stand; even docile zombies. But a love story with a zombie, is kinda... it's putting me off center, but I'm very very VERY curious about the story behind this. I'm going to stick around, definitely.

I'm hoping this show won't be a generic love story with addition of gore. I hope not.
