rinkel said: Such a wonderful episode, especially the melody transition in the music room. It's makes the atmosphere very gloomy. Gakkougurashi is become more awesome in each episode. Oh no :( "Gakkougurashi" |
| Well, what we all already knew has been confirmed. RIP Megu-nee. Also i have a feeling Mii-kun is going to lead to some SERIOUS damage to Yuki. And we see now why they play into Yuki's delusions. She helps them feel normal and happy. |

| God, the water bottle dropping in the background when Yuki 'handed' it to Sensei...that was an amazing touch. |
| The UnReveal. Practically too easy to follow. This and the flashbacks could have been handled better as they weren't that shocking. The way they handled the player breaking as Miki confronted Yuuki on Megu-nee was great though. I also question Yuuri's idea of keeping Yuuki ignorant. While she may be the heart of the group, she is a wildcard and her outrageous ideas and actions could get them killed. At least put a leash on her so you can control her better XD |
| this eps is "the key" of all episode really trully sad episode, is that so megu-nee....? |
 |
| I really got sad when I read that in the manga. Megunne, noo, damn too bad she passed away. :'( |
 |
Harsel said: It was predictable. Megu-nee was ignored the most of time... She is something like the reality part of the Yuki's awareness. For example, when they went to the library, Yuki was protected by Megu from the zombie. I was expecting something more "hard"... but it's not bad for now. I thought it were only there for fun, but I guess it had a purpose behind it. ^^ |
| |
| 10/10! This episode was so depressing even when somebody already spoiled me about megu-nee's death its still sad. Yuki's drawings and the ending song with megu-nee fading really brought a lot of feels. I'm gonna miss you megu-nee! I still have hopes that someday she will meet her students again. |
KamSung said: A rather meh episode this. At least the batch scene and the appealing music at the end made up for it. All of us now finally know how Megu-nee mysteriously appeared inside of that car the previous episode lol. 2/5. Obligatory shower scene is obligatory. I'd still Gakkou that Gurashi (doesn't make grammatical sense does it)  |
| The atmosphere between Yuki and Miki was fantastically done in the music room. |
| Wow. I didn't really notice that Megu-nee is already dead...damn. But when I think about it, it was always quite strange that Megu-nee didn't get any attention from the others. |
 |
| That was... hard to watch. |
| I have a mixed feeling about that reveal with Yuki handing Megu-nee objects. On one hand it was quite original and effective, it even made me confused for a moment, even though I knew from the manga Megu-nee is dead, I started thinking maybe all that changes in the order of events somehow made her still alive at this point, but in the end of course it took me no more than two secods to realise tha handing was happening out of our sight, so there should be some trick to it, though I assumed Yuki just put the bottle and tape player on a table or some similar surface. On the other hand when it was revealed she just dropped them on the floor, I can't help but think that's too much even for Yuki. She's not THAT crazy. Just rememer a scene from the previous episode where Megu-nee refused to take the toy bear. So why didn't she in the similar way tell Yuki to put the bottle and tape player on the table? There is no in-universe reason for it, the only reason is to make an effective reveal, but thinking of it breaks immersion. Okay, the bottle is okay, they don't seem to have a shortage of water, but wasting a tape player? I don't think their school has so many of them they can affort just dropping them on the floor for no reason. Even if it's a zombie apocalipse, no, _because_ it's a zombie apocalipse, you never know when it can come in handy. As Kurumi noted, Yuki always comes up with things the group needs, and her wasting that tape player goes against it. |
| Since people already suggested earlier that she's dead I started to look for the signs and it became pretty obvious. But I really like to know, if I would have noticed it without other people making me focus on her... |

Mmmhhh....Who said that she dropped the CD stereo on the floor, maybe it has been dropped when the "incident" started. |

But I really like to know, if I would have noticed it without other people making me focus on her... Depending on the person, without any hints, spoilers, and prior knowledge of the manga I'm sure some fans would have caught on that something was off. Back in episode one they introduced a character who's world is all made up in her head, at that point everyone should have been on the same page in being suspicious of what was real and what was not. (There's even was some suspicion that Taromaru isn't real. At this point though I think it's safe to say he's real since all the other characters do interact with him). Knowing how a majority of anime fans/critics tend to be though, I'm also sure a few folks without any clues or prior knowledge would have just written off some of the clues as "lazy animation" or "under budget cuts". (I'm still expecting to see someone give Gakkou Gurashi a bad review. Saying they dropped the anime because of those reasons. From which I would enjoy laughing at them.) |

I a pretty sure that there are 3 bad reviews. 5,5,4 (maybe) |

As Kurumi noted, Yuki always comes up with things the group needs, and her wasting that tape player goes against it. You can even hear the bottle drop when she is handing it over to Megu-nee And In both of cases Megunee is arguing against that but Yuki is too focused on Miki. Rukodaime said: So, Megu-nee was already dead ? Sure, from the start there was a lot of hint, but I always thought that could not be the case. If you think about it for one moment : It means that, from the start,Yuki is imagining by herself, being in a classroom with a teacher speaking for 8 hours ! I mean, in order to achieve this, you really have to have a good imagination. For me, it's impossible to conceive that, even in an stress mental state, I could just arrive in a classroom and "invente" a whole 8 hours class with different subject, every single day... especially when you consider that Yuku is not "smart". And the other thing is that I had the feeling that they were trying to keep Yuki under supervision... But letting her alone 8 hours a day (when she has crazy idea like "hey, let's go out") is not only a risky move... but a very sad one. Oh, and I swear that at one point, I heard someone said : "Don't worry about Yuki. Megu-nee is with her". But, that was maybe my imagination :( Oh look, someone else randomly missed very clear purpose of Megu-nee in Yuki's head. |

Rukodaime said: CookingPriest said: Oh look, someone else randomly missed very clear purpose of Megu-nee in Yuki's head. Did I ever mention at ANY point in my post the purpose of Megu-nee in Yuki's head ? Seems like you're trying to show off and you did not actually read/understand my post... But, please be so kind to explain to me then since it seems so much important to you :) I guess you're going to say it was to protect her when Zombie are around her ? And it was one of the only protective figure that she got so she need to be here in order to calm her down ? Or maybe it's just because obviously if you're going to have a class, you need a teacher :) Xenocrisi> Of course, everything is going te be weird when you're talking about a person who imagine to be in a normal world when there are zombie in it. But, let's say, for one second you are this person and you do not want to accept the reality : - You can pretend that the environnement is safe and remember how it looks before and reconstruct it from there. Easy. - You can pretend there are your friends around and having some discussion with them. Fair enough. - But you can not invent 8 hours on subject you do not know. Every single day. This is just impossible. I'm just saying this is one of the reason who made me thing that *maybe* Megu-nee was not dead. That's all :) Now, this episode make it very clear it was possible, so... By the way, just read chapter 13 of the manga to see the difference between the anime and the manga, well... The reveal in the anime is much better done ! If her Megu-nee is complex enough to work as a defense mechanism, she is complex enough to keep up conversation for a class. AFter all it is no different than thinking to yourself. ANd I am refering to the line about them leaving her alone being risky and the whole "she has megu-nee with her" being nonsense, which is not if sh eis a self defense mechanism. |

| I love the psychological elements in this show, they're amazing! Shows like this deserve more money, 10/10. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| ^ This. This show so deserves a second season! |

You would be surprised by the number of thing I did not know that I see in my dreams. But of course they are not necessarely "true". Which can be the case with the classes too. Yes she is making the teachers teach her something but she doesn't have the confirmation to know if it's true or not. And since she is "stupid" I don't think she would even know herself the teacher is teaching illogical thing. Well that just what I think. |
| Someone already said it but I'll say it again: They turned the whole club sports day into a montage, which meant that we lost some character building. I didn't like that much at all :/ The re-reveal was very well done. It seemed like a certainty for some from the clues given prior, but for people who were doubtful this would have made it clear in a way that was dramatic and punchy. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| Intense atmosphere in this episode once again. I noticed an interesting facial expression on the big bewb girl... a murderous face (twice in this ep, both when she was having a heated argument with miki and after the shower scene). |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |

| Holy shit, Megu-nee is dead? Wow. How the hell didn't I notice that earlier? Jeez, I'm so shocked right now. The reveal was handled very nicely. Great cinematography and the music was also done extremely well. Now I'm really wondering how Megu-nee died exactly. |
 |
| I love this show so much but Yuki is so annoying to me. I wish Miki had refused to play along and just... broke Yuki. That would've made things a lot more interesting. |
| i think i like miki in the anime more in the manga, although i wished the anime hadn't changed some things overall, i'm really enjoying this |
| Dropped. |
 |
RustCohle said: Dropped. thanks, now we are all happy that you told it to us. |
| The quality of the direction for this show is just absolutely phenomenal. Nothing at all flashy about it, but every emotional beat is just brought to the surface and handled totally meticulously, with brilliant little touches as a matter of routine, it just hasn't put a foot wrong, not even for a second. It's a long time since a show had me feeling this much just six episodes in. |
| A whole new level of depressing. |
| The world is the illusion of the real world. |
| Holy shit balls. |
 |
| Well, that explains a lot as to why she was ignored throughout the anime. Manga to Anime spoiler (slight) There was something off about this episode that I didn't really enjoy. I think it was because Miki was very submissive of Yuki's condition. Not only that, but there were no heated arguments. The scene on the roof, Yuuri's facial expressions felt really out of place and her emotions (imo) weren't projected well enough for the audience to understand and relate to. More manga to anime spoilers (slight) tl;dr - I didn't enjoy Miki's introduction, but the reveal of Megu-nee was great. |

 "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 |
| Dammit, Megu-nee! ;_; Although I kind of suspected that she was already dead, the way the presented it really hit me, especially at the end, where she kept fading. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| I admit that I was caught by surprise with Megu-nee´s death, even though I had my suspicions when they went to the mall I saw an adult refusing to drive and let that responsability for a girl under-age, and also why would Megu-nee in an apocalyptic setting like that always requesting Yuki to call her sensei? Makes all sense now and can´t wait for what´s next! |

Makes all sense now and can´t wait for what´s next! I hadn't even thought about that! That's so clever! Of course she would still be acting in that way if Yuki was constructing Megu-nee from her most recent memories of her. |

icirate said: I hadn't even thought about that! That's so clever! Of course she would still be acting in that way if Yuki was constructing Megu-nee from her most recent memories of her. That's probably most likely the case. You can't develop character of someone who's already dead, but you can go off of what they've already developed. |

Not sure if blind or rocking the fanboy goggles hard, the animation this episode was way below its usual quality. |

VanishingKira said: 6 episodes to reveal Megu-nee was dead when it was obvious from episode one if you were paying attention. And with that half the show wasted,hope this'll gets better but with half the show already done already have a predetermined score on what this'll end up being. That's all you got out of 6 episodes? What a shallow thought process you must have. LOL |
