| WTF? That is an Ending..... This anime was quite the ride. There were pretty exceptional episodes like episode 2, and episode 10. And there were bad episodes like episode 7, and there is this shitty ending. Also Wanko being annoying bitch. Final Episode Score - 2.5/5 Series Score - 8/10 -> 7/10 |

| I really hope there's a season two of this. Preferably one that isn't flashback-ish, because this episode, it showed that he was reminiscing while writing in the Undead Journal, as evidenced by the blood from his cheek that dropped onto the page, before it showed the after effects of the bite. Definitely a good ending to the series. Hopefully the OVA adds more, and also, hopefully there is a second season, once the manga gets longer. I want to know more about why the Grandpa knew the zombie formula, who Mero and Chihiro's mom was, and what happens to Rea. |

| No chance for second season *1,487 *1 Sankarea [DVD+BD]: 2012/06/29 Only this much copies were sold after first week. |
 |
| I didn't like the end of the anime... =( |
 |
| aah that Bite was probably one of the most important thing in whole series right after the rediscovering of zombie elixir and bite's meaning was not reveled at the end (e.g. it helps her to maintain her body) and there are no signs of second season too. It would be nice if second OVA would be ep13. Also I hope this show will have second season. It deserves one. Sent with Mal Updater 9/10 overall |

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I don't like open-ending , but i have to admit it that one was nicely done. However, it make me want to see a sequel and i really think it deserve (but also need) a 2nd season x_x Well, at least there is always the manga \o/ |
| "I don't want to have any regrets." I liked this episode. They also kept the good looking artistic visuals up to this point. The dialogue scene with Chihiro and Rea back in the abandoned bowling alley was nice. Though this episode was largely anime-original, I don't think it derails the story to endanger future chances of adapting more material from the source. There was no strong sense of closure; but I believe it implied an intention not to end it all here. A strong signal to me that there is an intention for a sequel in the future. There's still much more to come, after all. I'm a bit let down that I didn't get to see that iconic (well, to readers) "morning bicycle ride" scene get animated yet, though. I have high hopes for a sequel in the future. Because I too, don't want to have any regrets. |
| overall its a good show but not so special. score 9/10 -> 8/10 |
| They better do 2nd season with that ending, I'm not satisfied.. I want moar! Seriously, that ending give me the thirst for second season,, If they really plan to do it, I must say that was good ending. |
| Boring end to a very mediocre show. Sankarea never really took advantage of it's interesting set up. Instead it opted to be a mediocre rom-com with a dose of strangeness that never really fit the feeling of the anime. This could have been a bitter sweet love story but instead chose to go the cutesy cliche route of so many other anime romantic comedies. There were so many wasted characters here and wasted opportunities. Ranko in particular was a huge waste of space. She could have been interesting as the more human choice for the Chihiro instead she was just a boring fanservice character that served no other purpose other than to fill up some air time with her played out antics. Which is the way most of this anime went. Every episode was the same romance cliches piled together until the last minute where it would throw in something shocking to try and fool the viewer that they were watching something fresh and unique. On the other hand the animation and art style weren't bad, and the actual plot while very generic was handled decently. Overall this wasn't a terrible anime but it a very mediocre one. 5 out of 10 |
 |
| 8/10 Surely there will be another season. The ending was just okay, lacks closure, but maybe that's just where the story is supposed to end. |
| Ok ending 8/10 and well the whole series overall was pretty good altough I was always disgusted by Rea's father and at some point by Furuya wtf was up with him filming her all the time it kinda felt as if he was doing the same as Rea's father .... and the relationship never really developed it kinda even worsen Rea tough Furuya only liked her cuz she was a zombie that's all not because of her I wish Furuya wasn't so useless, if there's a season 2 they really gotta fix that, but well anyways liked the ending it was pretty cute lol that bite showing that Rea had finally given in to ger hunger. Well can anyone tell me if the manga is worth reading? |
 Truly, comparisons between fellow humans are what turn out to be the most infuriating. |
| probably the worst ending I've seen to an anime ever... I was really enjoying this up until the very end :/ sigh... still gave the overall anime 8/10 |
 |
| Damn cliffhanger. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Loved this episode, I give a shit about its open ending because I know how it's going to continue and I totally expect a second season, it was a beautiful adaptation. |
| cant wait for season 2! |
   |
| Can someone explain why exactly this was a terrible finale? Tons of anime have ambiguous endings that don't wrap anything up or bring in new ideas for future possible seasons. What made this one so terrible? |
| Sad ending :( She finally turns in to a real zombie :*( Hoping for a season 2.... Please season 2...Too many question to answer~ |
 |
| Hmm liked the anime, 8/10, usually i hate love triangles but this one was okay. Wonder if he'll ever choose girl (like with macross frontier). Does the anime follow the manga completely? and if so at which chapter does the anime end? thanks! |
| Pretty good, pretty good! I don't have any serious complaints about how this anime was, but I have to admit I'm a biiit disappointed, probably because I liked the manga so much more. IF there just happens to be a second season sometime, I just might forgive how they ended this anime too soon ^^ If this was as good as the manga is, I would most likely rate Sankarea as 10/10, but sadly that isn't the case, so 8/10 :) Either way, I really much enjoyed watching this, too bad it ended so soon~ Just when the story was getting good too... |
 |
| enjoyable series, though it felt like it abruptly ended. haven't read the manga but i skimmed through it a bit and it looks like its a little bit different so i'll try that out. |
| Was hoping the ending would be better but great series overall 9/10 Hoping for a second season. |
 |
| I'll have to start reading the manga! yay x3 I wonder if they're going to do a 2nd season... because it all depends on the sells of the anime, or if the anime was actually following the manga or ended as a filler ending (but to me it looks like its supposed to be a big hint for a second season) But either way, I'm gonna start reading the manga |
| WTF with that ending? You can't just end a show like that.... like seriously... And when the BD's have been selling like shit, we probably won't get a second season... -sigh- 7/10 and I guess it's the manga from now on. Sent with Mal Updater |
| I liked the series overall , lol , i devoured it in two days . Like a boss ! |
 |
| Just can't believe this show got so popular. I watched it while it was airing which was just a few months ago and it's already ranked at #921 at the moment. Maybe anime nerds (not to offend anyone) just really have a thing for zombies. |
| I'm kinda imagined if Rea give Furuya an oral and her Eater Confusion status come at that moment ewww shiitt |
| I didn't expect it to end like that but I did love the bite at the end I really hope there will be a second season it still was a awesome episode :D 8/10 |
| +5 for Ranko (She made my manhood twitched numerous times) +2 for Fucked up incestuous father +2 for Cousin incest +1 for Fanservice +1 for Gramps +0 for Zombie +0 for Rea -1 for Anti-climatic sudden change of heart/realization cliche bullshit -1 for Try-hard Mero -1 for Necrophilia -1 for Not enough Ranko screen time = 7/10 mediocre anime was mediocre |

| MUST.HAVE.MOARRRRRRRRrr ilovebluebear16 said: Did anyone understood why Rea bit Chihiro at the end. I don.t really get it. It is not fair, they left us on a cliff. >.< Anyway, i loved this anime. I am going to go watch it again. See ya. :) Lol you made an account just to post this? :o That bite had multiple meanings, rewatch it and you might find out. |
| 7/10 good anime. 7 as mediocre anime is not in my book, 5-6 are "maybe" mediocre.... but if u don't understand this then i leave here a score that might suit some perceptions : 8/10. thanks to this new director. |
 |
| Good ending can't wait until the 2nd ova until then I think I'll read the manga. I also liked the bite at the end I see I'm not alone:) |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I hope the 2nd ova alludes to another season of Sanka. I'm so mangry that we didn't get to see one of my favorite characters `-` |
| 10th and 11th episodes were awesome, but this episode wass odd, it think the whole anime had been better without it D : Have Rea's brains gone numb and now she can't control herself anymore? Is Furuya gonna turn a zombie now? I can't stand the uncertainty :d |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| At the beginning the slow pace was good... but it never changed.. and at the end I get feeling like this should have been so much more. Hopefully the wont make the same mistakes if they make a second season. |
| huh? |
| Cliffhanger! >.< anyways, it was a good anime, i'll give it an 8 :) Hoping for a season 2 :D |
| I'm probably what you call a programmer. And a procastinator. And a stalker. You can't hide from me. |
| Cant believe I watched the whole series in one day. Was pretty good, I had high hopes after the first few episode. The father creeped me me out to no end. Through that, the art was great, solid MC and the ecchi was great. Cant wait for a second season. 8/10 |
 |
| with the way they ended this and the plot i can definatley foresee a season 2 in the future! i did enjoy this show 8/10! |
