If I had come into this blind, I'd have dropped it 5 minutes in. It was utterly terrible, worse than Classroom Crisis, until those final few minutes. I still don't like the designs or the interactions between the characters, but both OP and ED were fairly good. Not amongst the better songs this season, but still good. I give this episode a 2 out of 5.

This episode went from KIniro Mosiac to HighSchool of the Dead pretty quickly...................

Lol I agree. The manga gets very disturbing and sad, but it still one of my favorites. I just hope that the show follows the manga (the writer of the manga is doing the script so he must have something in store).


Haven't read the manga but i hope this anime lives up to its hype.....

Haven't read the manga either but I look forward to seeing how things go from here now that the reveal happened. I wonder if future episodes will be in Yuki's point of view?

That was really bad. How many people have posted that they were going to drop it or were skipping through the episode? Having a "surprise" in your story doesn't mean you can make the rest of it shit. All the running around after the dog was annoying, as were the partial revelations like the cross or the broken windows, which looked like the director begging for attention: "I can't tell you just yet since I'm forced to fill the whole 20 minutes wasting time, but please look at this. See? This is totally not just a school anime, see? SEE?? Please don't leave, I have a family to feed".

Ohohoh, such a misleading anime... By the time the episode started I was like: "Wait, so is this all there is to it? This girl who somehow loves being in school to the point she lives there? She must have some loose screws." When I reached the 19-ish minute mark, and the tone changed... My jaw dropped. I proceeded then to rewatch the episode paying more atention this time. And there a lot of subtle, well inserted hints foreshadowing something ominous. The sole reason I don't give this episode a 10/10 is because that dog chase was terribly boring to watch. They should have used a more interesting slice of life story before the plot twist. Looking forward to seeing the next episode. This shit has a nice potential. 9/10.

Bet you hate anime like Haruhi, Higurashi, Madoka and movies like Hot Fuzz too where the set-up is equally misleading. There are things that must be looked at as a whole and not in parts.

The scenes with the dog chasing was obviously a means to get the characters going to various places of the school to world-build and give the audience a tour of the setting. Besides, the fact that it can open doors itself might be set-up for something.

I like this anime
They just trapped so many people in it xD
I mean you're looking for cute SOL anime?
Nope
That's why you had to read the synopsis first!!
And don't judge it before you watched it
Yeah life lesson here xD

The animated kinda cool-looking so far, like it :)

That ending was scary. Like the middle of Shin Sekai Yori where the story went deep into "this could be your reality" mode. After the 19 minutes of YuruYuri with bland characters (except Miss Shovel) and no yuri (not enough tsundere, Mii-kun. Pull out that Ayano!), this turned into Mahou Shoujo Gurashi Magika. With a few (more) dead people thrown in.

I heard there was a twist so I figured I'd give it a try. The "twist" itself was about what I expected based on the cover image. I still hate loli-SOL. Dropped. If it turns out this is the only bad episode, I'm sure I'll hear about it.

Others besides Yuki react to Taroumaru so they may have wanted to start the story with him in the beginning.

I initially took interest in this when I saw the cover, thinking "oh hey I get my seasonal dosage of cute girls/cute things!" I was a little disappointed that some of this was semi-spoiled for me already when I saw the horror tag and R - 17+ on MAL. Some of the foreshadowing (like Miki ignoring everyone in the classroom repeatedly) clicked together all too fast and wasn't that big of a surprise as a result. Nevertheless, it's not like I knew what was going to happen so seeing the horde of zombies and how everyone was accommodating Yuki's delusion was definitely eerie. Thinking back, the horticulture club's garden looked more like a grave when it was just the two girls sitting up there afterwards.

I have to wonder if things are going to get serious from here on out or if it plans to continue portraying Yuki's delusional school life with the apocalyptic setting lingering in the background. I'm down for either.

Well, I was watching this after seeing the genre and as it went on I thought it was an anime aimed at young children especially due to the characters way of acting. But the end really caught me out and all of a sudden I realized why it was classed as a horror. Now I can't wait for the next episode!

I can't think of any other way of revealing it like that. I guess the only flaw is that Miki's reaction during the reveal was really overly expressed.

At the end I thought Miki was just making that face due to jealousy that the Yuki was talking about a "guy" (the dog) so I was totally caught off guard when it shifted to Miki's view. This anime is a lot better than I expected, can't wait for the next episode.

I'm glad I didn't know anything about this before watching, the running after the dog part was boring but the second half was cool. So Yuki is too traumatized to see what's going on around her?

I'm looking forward to see what happens next, I just hope the interesting parts wont be in the last few minutes.

I'm pretty sure most of the people who were actually surprised by the twist at the end were the people went into this blindly, I don't understand why its so hard for people to understand that.
So if you're complaining about loli moe shit you probably expected way to much out of the horror tag but if you saw the horror tag you should have at least read the description too lol.
I think the people who were genuinely surprised by the ending will get the most of this show rather the the "wheres the horror"-ers.
