Her father is nothing but a pedophile and it's crazy if she doesn't take nude pics he just takes everything from her. In real life he would be in prison for a long time. But other than that part it was a great episode. I'm guessing Rea is going to turn into a zombie soon since she said she wanted to die.

The most important part of this section of the story is something that DEEN left out of the anime - Chihiro's thoughts at the very end of chapter two as Rea goes back to her house. I wonder if this means that DEEN intends to change the focus of the story?

I also wonder if the anime will reach the point where we are shown the details behind Rea's family and why things are as they are... It's too bad this isn't a longer series - it's a shame to have it rushed.

Never-the-less, it's a great adaptation so far.

I think what I was trying to say is that you can understand why she did that and if you were put in this situation, perhaps you would have found a reason to keep living, but you would still have considered the option. Really, to have your own father chase away the people you care about, restricting you from leaving the house, sexually abusing you and basically controlling every facet of your life, I personally would begin to lose sight of why I want to continue living. With no goals, no people to interact with other than your abusing father and uncaring mother and stuck within the confines of your own house (basically a prison), I can see that you just eat, sleep and get abused.

If your reasoning is along the lines of "there's no actually physical abuse going on", then may I add that psychological abuse is most often far worse than physical abuse. Even in physical abuse, the problems stem from the psychological impact of it. Even the deepest cuts heal in time, but the brain either remembers everything (leading to depression or fixation on the situation) or adapts to forget it (in the process causing other things to go wrong, perhaps leading to things like dissociative identity disorder or antisocial behaviour).


She obviously was blind and couldn't see that their was one more person she could rely on and could call a friend and that's Furuya. Still it's better to continue on living depending on someone and when you're still that young, if they are trying to depict that state mind, then they are doing a poor job of it.

At the end of the day, it's fictional. But it's too weak I didn't feel anything but disappointment.

you forget the fact that she has already had other people disappear becuz she got close to them. she's smart enough to not want this relationship to disappear.

and if you immediately just jump to the conclusion that this is fictional, than your missing out the whole point of entertainment from stories. besides, you'd be very surprised at how real her story can be, i've heard worse things happening in real life.

This series is starting to get better and better. The episodes do a good job of getting me hooked for the next weeks episode, and I f'ing love it! I'm curious to see how chirihou and rea's relationship will progress as it's blatantly obvious that she's become quite smitten with him, while he couldn't care less because, you know, she's not a zombie. Either way, it's looking like this series won't disappoint.

While in real life, a lot of teenagers kill themselves for much sillier reasons, no make that grown-up adults doing stupid things then killing themselves.

You seem to lack empathy.

Regarding the Anime I think it will be very hard to depict the psyche of distraught teenager girl to please certain anime fans. I certainly have never expected this anime to be this heavy-handed but I don't think you should expect anything sophisticated and mature. Here I thought this anime coming from Dean was already miraculous enough.

Rea has such an aweful family. A possesive father who takes pictures of her (the creeper) and an ice cold mother who doesn't give a damn. Good thing she came te realize this isn't really a normal situation. That doesn't always happen in other series. She told her father bu of course he dind't really want to hear anything of it and blamed the influence of others. She made her only friend move and that friend blames her for it. So damn unfair! D:

Pretty predictable he would found out about her sneaking out this time too. She just can't catch a break. In the end Babu did resurrect and Rea (tried to) take her life by drinking the poison she snuck out. Looking at the preview it didn't really work.

Can't wait for the next episode now.

Honestly, if you were placed in such a situation, I think any sane person would have at least thought of that. Not only do you have no one to trust and confide in, the only person able to support you is the one putting you through this hell.


Don't defend, she's a pussy for taking the easy way out. She killed herself lol, I've lost respect.
You have 0 understanding of how people work
Just because you would kill yourself if you were in hers situation doesn't mean that everyone else would be so weak.


Yeah, she's so weak. Didn't even consider any other options.
For example, going to the police. Oh wait, he fathers the most powerful man in town so even if the police had the balls to take him on he could easily buy them off. That is assuming of course that they believe her.
What about confiding in someone? Oh wait, she tried that and the father got rid of them. Confined in an adult? Same result.
Ok, why doesn't she kill her father? Oh wait she's a girl with little to no combat experience and probably never lifted a weight in her life. I suppose she could use a knife assuming of course that an overprotective father even lets her near a sharp object.
Run away?. Under constant surveillance at school and home. Even if she manages to escape like she did to get to the well her father just needs to report her missing to the police and it's only a matter of time before she's found.

...honestly outside of killing herself I don't see any other options here.

What the...Baabu, it worked?!

I felt so sad about Sanka Rea's past. Everyone she came close to was just snuffed out like a candle due to her disgusting father, what an ass.

I'm liking the MC more and more. He has the courage to not act like a beta and sweep Sanka off her feet (albeit aggressively). Quite refreshing from some of the male leads I've seen this spring.

That last scene and the ED - goddamn the tears won't stop. Why not confide in Furuya first? It's worth a shot considering the chemistry. Maybe later then!

So far, I love this show. Cannot wait until next week.

Loved this episode. Haven't read the manga so I don't know what happens, but at the end when she drank the potion I flipped out. That was definitely the point of no return for me, I'm hooked. And as stated above several times, the dad is the worst. Definitely hoping he has an unfortunate encounter with the undead. Can't wait for the next episode!

Well, when you lay it all out there like that does make me think it all over. Though I still think she shouldn't have killed herself though.

That is a sad life to live when your bound by your parents will without being free.

Rea's dad is just sick. It sort of reminds me of Mawaru. What is wrong with these adults. Seriously. =___=

And I love Furuya's character. So... refreshing. Idk. At least compared to last season's guy leads.

Can't wait to see the next episode!

I'm pretty sure "going to police" will be a futile a effort, knowing her father is rich & powerful. Nonetheless, I'm giving a pretty high expectation for this anime.

I like cats.

I like the undead.

A Cat+Undead=Undead cat=fuckawesome.

DEEN have outdid themselves so far in this Sankarea adaptation. I guess bad studios can produce good stuff too sometimes, just like with the Higurashi adaptations which I really liked (The first season, the second and Rei, not Kira obviously, which turned into a huge disappointment).

You can feel the amount of care in the animation and I'm hearing that it sticks pretty close to the manga and even better in some areas. The voice actors are great, especially Rea's VA.

I'm just hoping for enough episodes to flesh the story well, and DEEN, please, no anime original ending for this, give room to a second season.

And that ending of the episode... 'It's raining'.

Same...

I really thought Tasogare will be sad, depressing, but it just makes me laugh...

Sankarea... I thought of sex with zombie, kisses and body parts all over the place. I thought there would be scenes where he would kis Rea and her tongue would stay in his mouth...

But no... It is tragic and very sad, despite zombie theme, I would just take out fan service because so far it doesn't suit this sad anime.

Very happy with how they're adapting the show. I still don't think the opening fits, but whatever. With others, I feel like this might be a 12 episode show that likely will end around chapter 20 in the manga.

Really looking forward to next week episode. This should be interesting to watch in animated form.

Glad I am not the only one on that one. I did not mention it.

Her Seiyuu in that sense got my attention in giving her jobs in hentais. If she ever needs work, I would suggest her those if she can handle them. That part when she said it, really did sound something from a hentai anime.

Regardless her Seiyuu left quite the impression on me with that one.
