While I liked that they showed how Taroumaru happened to get around them and how it all started I also felt the episode skipping a lot of 'horror elements', mainly in the 1st part of the episode... that and making Miki look much more weak than she actually is. Also, I understand why many people would be confused as to why Kurumi and company would leave the school to go outside looking for suplies when they had that store at school full of stuff from what we saw in a preview episode... Well, basically because they changed a bunch of stuff from the manga and many things are being shown in flashbacks things get confusing and we don't really see a proper reason for them to do it. In the manga they did the 'test of courage' while Miki was still not with them. They needed supplies so they went there and got them but the store was running low on those as well. So basically some time after they decided to go out again because they needed stuff they couldn't get at school, that's when Yuki talked about the whole 'Outing' thing and they went to the mall, meanwhile finding Miki there. What I mean is that while I did enjoy the episode I was hoping for something different I guess... You're not alone in that. At first I thought the decision to start the show with Miki around was a good one, but this seemingly arbitrary rearrangement of the plot is taking its toll, and the mall scene in the manga was awesome. They could have made a good 2 full episodes out of it and it would have done wonders for establishing Miki's character . . but I guess they're trying to squish the entire plot into 12 episodes? They easily could make 2 great episodes from this arc, there was so much that could be adapted and given that idea of panic and urgency that they lived in the mall... Instead it was as someone said, they kept jumping from safe place to safe place without showing how they made it there. For me Miki is the one with less characterization so far. She isn't much beside the underclassmen that's always complaining about Yuki's attitude and it felt like this episode they just used her in a way to "please shoujo-ai fans", although I wouldn't go there because they are best friends but I've seen a lot of people saying that *sigh* That and made her look like she's a terrible friend I may be biased though, as Miki is one of my favourite characters in the manga...

 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| imo this episode was not the best, but still pretty ejoyable. We got to know more about Miki's past and Kurumi's fantastic abilities as a shovel samurai lol |

Good thing we do not live in survival of the fittest jungle so they don't need to There's actually scientific hypothesis that the most likely ones to survive a zombie apocalypse would be sociopaths or psychopaths. |

| Guys, just go and read the manga instead of this borefest moeshit anime adaptation. Can't believe the anime industry today, ruining something great. I'll still be watching this stupid adaptation just because I love the manga, but no matter how I love the original, boring is boring. edit: nice song tho, links when, full when? |

| Another great episode, focusing more on how Miki dealt with the zombie apocalypse. It seems like Kei and Miki were best friends but Kei really insisted on going outside. Meanwhile, Miki decided to stay back with Taromaru. Then we see the other girls and the teacher heading out in Megu's car. Some foreshadowing going on with Megu-sensei though. 5/5 |
 |
| I just find it odd how quickly the situation escalated and almost no local authorities showed up and tried to quell the situation or even the army coming in to assist people , its really hard to believe that things would go to shit so badly and nothing be done about it in a modern society I just don't see that happening. Also don't they have internet or did the zombies destroy all connections? and speaking of zombies why exactly are they (what I assume to be) censored? Did they have this black aura around them in the manga? That ending song was surprisinly good and really went well with the last scene , haven't heard a song I liked in an anime in years lol find most anime songs annoying. |
| I just love this anime more and more with every episode. Miki backstory so far is so good and sad...that ED song <3 |

| Kurumi + Shovel = Badass OP~ More background story for Miki and her friend. Hmm dunno about Kei but that dog must knew something. The song that kept playing in the end give me chills, it really described the situation perfectly. *sigh* When will Takeya Yuki learn to face the reality instead of stay in her dream world about school life..!? Seems like the apocalypse was too much for her *kawaisou ╮(╯▽╰)╭*. Don't read manga but I hope she will soon wake up from her delusion ^.^ |

Zetsuei380 said: While everyone has a different opinion, I'm not too fond of this adaptation either. A lot of it has to do with the art and sound. In the manga, it had a darker tone to it with the school being heavily damaged with cracks and rust everywhere, you really tell this is a apocalypse. This is also enhanced with the black and white colors of the manga. But in the anime, everything in very bright colors and the school looks relatively clean for a place that was attack by zombies. I also don't like they're method of censoring the zombies, it's like they're trying too hard to not show the zombies but also them look threatening. I hate the soundtrack in this particularly the SoL tracks, it's just too cutesy for me. I agree with the soundtrack but the zombie were even less threatening in the manga at the beginning, they looked like shadow lol. |
| The end. |
Zetsuei380 said: Thai777 said: I agree with the soundtrack but the zombie were even less threatening in the manga at the beginning, they looked like shadow lol. Ok yeah i'll give you that one, but honestly they could of done a better more subtle way of censoring, because quite frankly i find the aura thing to just be dumb. On another note I also notice a lot of inconsistencies regarding the windows of the school, in some scenes they are shown as completely undamaged while in another scene they are completely shattered. I honestly don't really care about the windows, lol. Anyways the OST in the horror scenes is reaaly really good, and i like the zombies in the anime. |
Zetsuei380 said: Xenocrisi said: I honestly don't really care about the windows, lol. Anyways the OST in the horror scenes is reaaly really good, and i like the zombies in the anime. Meh different strokes i guess, I would of preferred if they utilized shadows to cover parts of the zombies face and body as a way of not showing too much of them or something along those lines instead of some aura thing. That and maybe removing the voice affect they used on them would of made them a bit more scary/disturbing for me. The window thing can be considered more of a nitpick i suppose (well a big nitpick since windows do take up a good chunk of background). Tastes. |
| Imo this episode was better than the previous ones, not completely satisfied but atleast I won't drop it.. Really liked when Miki screamed at the dog. Not sure what I think about Kei's decision to leave but atleast it makes things more interesting :3 |
| Cars wouldn't last more than a few months, but this looks like it happened soon after it all started. Didn't like this episode that much compared to previous ones, but that's mostly because I don't like the two characters this episode's mainly about. Kurumi best girl. |

Tastes. oh the cute zombies that I also hate from the manga because they're not a threat. That can easily be fixed by watching other zombie shows with scary zombies and copying them but nope. They did fix things that doesn't need fixing and made it worse. oh and the over the top destruction of surroundings like there's a war going on, they're using bombs instead of shovels and zombies are soldiers. |

| I like that this series seems to be popular so far! Kei was pretty bossy, but i can understand her line of thinking. And now we seem to know why the dog doesn't like Miki. I wonder if we get to see what happened to Kei. And I just keep wondering how many of the girls are actually real now... |

| Although I absolutely love how the anime is different from the manga so far, this episode didn't do the manga justice. There were important backstories that were left out which made the story seem more superficial than it really is. The flashback may have become longer if the producers included these backstories, but I feel that they are necessary for the character development of Miki and Kei. The elements of fear and horror were also not as impressive as in the manga. I felt that they could have done a lot more with Miki's story. I wonder how the mangaka felt about this episode. Let's just hope that they are just saving the best for the last. |
| I like the anime, but I don't like it changing the order of events. In the manga, they went to the school's shop first, then after it ran out of supplies they took the car and went to the mall. In the anime they go to the mall first, while they still have supplies in the shool's shop. It doesn't make any sense and this is what doesn't let me fully enjoy the anime which is otherwise good. Also, regarding the 'cut out' scene in the mall everyone is talking about. One showing evens that let Miki and Kei from the dressing room to the other room they ended up in. I dunno guys how you define 'cut out', but in the manga IIRC it was in Miki's diary which they've found with Miki. So I'm pretty sure in the next episode they'll find Miki and her diary and we get to see that scene. So untill the next episode we can't say if it was cut out or not. And I don't remember for sure, maybe it was even later in the manga. But one thing I'm sure is it certainly was not before they found Miki. Also, this dialog: Yuki: I've talked to Megu-nee and we can go all right and take her car. Kurumi: Then I guess I'll drive. (or something like this, I don't have the episode on myself right now to check, so this is how I remember it) Does it really sound like Kurumi is talking to Megu-nee? |

mrkm said: if people seriously think megu-nee is still alive after she just suddenly appeared in the car after not being present for the entire sequence where yuki and rie are sneaking through the school then lmao. Pretty much this. I really wasn't sure whether she was alive or dead until that happened. Her absence during all of that and then she just instant transmissioned into the car? Yeah, she ded. |

Yeah, since they have so many flachbacks anyway, could as well make the test of courage into another flashback without Miki in it and save the order of events. They could make the 2nd episode like someone casually mentions the test of courage in a random conversation and Miki asks "what's that about", and they say "ah, that's something from before you joined us, let us tell you", and the rest of the episode is the fleshback with the test of courage without Miki. |
jyleehomu said: Does anyone notice that the visual of Kurumi when she fights with the zombies looks like the visual of zombie transformation in Contagion? I first thought the change of colour background is just reflecting the stressful atmosphere or her alertness in the dangerous situation, but seeing that only Kurumi has this kind of visual, I can't stop thinking that she is perhaps more than just normal human. The zombies has the dark aura just when there is Kurumi to not make her remember that are humans, she'd have problems without the dark aura. |

| Normally find constant flashbacks annoying but I feel like they're justified in this case (I want to see how everything came to happen), not to mention they're done quite well. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
