I'm really liking the new OP visuals that were added in this episode. It does make it feel more complete than before. =)

As for the episode itself, we finally get the introduction of the German beauty, Beatrix. Her timing was well timed for our main group as they helped her out in delivering fish to a sushi chef in one of the larger towns in the Gunma prefecture. I was pretty amused with Shizuka acting like Zhuge Liang with her tactics while Akira and Beatrix went for close combat fighting, but in the end, they made a nice work in burning the zombies up, which made the celebratory mean at the sushi restaurant feel so wholesome and rewarding.

The latter part of the episode was focused on hot springs and, of course, it led to a good amount of fanservice moments. I have HUGE respect for Beatrix here when, after the hot springs that the group went to only had the men's springs working, she wanted to embrace the culture and tradition and stripped off naked, ready to join Akira and Kencho, but a hoard of zombies ruined that chance. =(

We did get a nice moment between Akira and Shizuku, where the former accidentally encountered her in a natural hot springs in the mountains, where the two had a nice heart-to-heart chat about Shizuka's past and what her ideal love would be like. This was interrupted by an annoyed Beatrix and Kencho, who both proceeded to strip naked and joined in on the fun.

Honestly, the dynamics of the group is already proving to be great fun, so I highly look forward to seeing what they get up to next time!

I'm so fucking glad they delayed the episode to keep a consistent quality. Bea is such a waifu material.

They could announce that episode 8 was the final episode and I wouldn't mind.

God this shit has become unwatchable, it's been declining the whole time, but insane to think that the amazing first episode was even a part of the same show.

Doesn't have much of a style anymore, looks rushed and the writing's atrocious. We're giving into every trope in the book, every shot is painfully dragged out, everyone speaks and acts as slowly as possible in high stress situations, with seconds to spare. Everyone is so bland and one-note too.

Kinda late to drop it, but if a second season happens, I doubt I'd be partaking.

It’s nice to finally see the fourth member of the main cast introduced, being Beatrix, I wasn’t expecting her to be German but she definitely is a fun addition. Only problem I have with her tho is that her introduction was very quick and didn’t feel very impactful like Kencho or Shizuka, yeah the sushi thing was very wholesome and sweet but it happened pretty fast and now she’s just part of the gang, that’s my only complaint tho because there’s a lot to like about her, her VA is doing an awesome job and I can’t deny the bazongas she was hiding under the armor lol, I’m kinda surprised there wasn’t a scene where Akira and Kencho get bamboozled when she takes the armor off or something.

You also had the nice heart to heart in the hot springs between Shizuka and Akira, nothing like having a serious talk with no clothes on lol, it was sadly interrupted but I think they went as far as they were gonna go there. The rest of the episode was mainly comedy focused, Shizuka being a warlord was pretty fun as well as Beatrix and Akira kicking ass featuring the return of the super hero suit, Shizuka’s monkey bomb during that part was reminiscent of Call of Duty zombies too, not sure if it was intentional or not but very cool lol. And there was also the initial hot springs bit that was sadly interrupted by zombies, but not before some amazing Shizuka and Beatrix fanservice, Akira and Kencho are truly living the dream getting to witness Beatrix stripping thanks to her love of Japan lol.

And lastly, damn those were some nice new bits of visuals in the OP, they definitely still care about this series despite the delays, the dancing was pretty awesome lol. Here’s hoping after next week the last few episodes won’t be too far off.

Great way to introduce the new character Beatrix!
Having both her and Akira go all out just to get that sushi was even better.
Also wouldn't think that we were going to get a hot springs episode in this anime, but I guess I shouldn't have underestimated it.
With the awkward reaction between Shizuka and Akira they just might have gotten a little closer...Kencho and Beatrix jumping in at the end to interrupt didn't help though.

Well that episode was definitely worth the wait probably one of the best so far got to finally see Beatrix which was nice I like how similar both Akira and her think it makes for a great friendship. Shizuku is losening up a bit and Kencho is Kencho, so much tension in that last scene!!!(Next episode on the 24th I believe)

tbh, i kinda have mix feelings on this episode.



  • Animation quality dropped down at the start :

    - Some scenes are less detailed than before, more CGI zombies and a mix of both sometimes with really fast drawings

    - OP animation feels kinda weird, the design isn't the same as the rest of the OP (animation frames + lineart are different) and they put zombies CGI at the end... ( I would say it's fine in the episode if it's not really everywhere but it shouldn't be in the OP)

  • Story rhythm went really fast in this episode :

    - Beatrix encounter + no scenes for Beatrix being officially in the team

    - Shizuka went from cold to "i'm gonna enjoy life with those guys" a bit too fast imo ( yes i'm saying imo, cuz in fact there were character development last episode so it has certain a logic )

    - Beatrix talking in accelerate way ( i mean it's fine, but they should have done it once slower then to it later as a running joke)

  • Last thing is for some reason this episode was louder than every single others episodes, like constant screaming...



As i said, i have mix feelings, meaning there is not only bad things in this episode, i really liked the last scene with Akira and Shizuka. And I'm conscious the staff had problems those weeks. I just hope that they'll not rush it cuz I have really high expectation on this anime.

I like the OP having zombies smashing smartphone screens lol


I wonder where Beatrix got the samurai armour. Did she own it before or swipe it from a museum or something?

What Akira said about fear while it can be true it is easier said than done to act in spite of fear.

Bea and Shizuka looked sexy at the onsen.

Nice little moment with Shizuka x Akira and her accepting others in what they want. I hope some people watching take from that because i too often see people try to crush others dreams for their own selfish reasons.

Beatrix is a nice addition to the cast of characters. Her love for Japan and nippon culture makes her a versatile member. She can wield the samurai blade and kick ass. Not only that but she loves sushi! She's an absolute bombshell of a woman. I love how she doesn't give a crap about sharing the hot spring bath with the bois and strips naked. She's way too cool!
Also, I love the three kingdoms reference. Shizuka being Zhuge Liang is genius. It suits her well because she's a strategist at heart.

I'm going to write something similar to what I wrote on another forum. But Bea is in a sense a depiction of me.

But it is so great to to a fusion of two cultures. I'm German and have admired Japanese culture for a very long time. To see the two intertwined like this was great.

Shizuka can still get the Dizuka though....ooof....

I'm tremendously surprised by how Shizuka is just like me since episode 1. Her conversation about love is exactly what I say about it every single day, especially the "high cost-low benefit" part. The only difference is that I still think that way, while Shizuka was somewhat regretting it. Well, enough talk, here's episode's 8 Shizuka's appreciation gallery.



Oh, yes, btw, Beatrix is here. Nice character.

Not sure what the rest of you are on about, but this is far from the "best episode so far". In my opinion, this is where show went from very good to downright average. Fan service thrown in, casually touch on why show even exists, then just go do whatever wherever. Yes, lets go deliver fish over his parents. Completely logical train of thoughts. Then out of nowhere while plot-convenience and plot-ruiner asset appears... hot springs. Be it competition or hot springs you know show has jumped the shark and are trying to artificially push the story in a certain direction.

The show seems to be pushing Akira x Shizuka a lot now, it's a cute development, though I can't help but feel it clashes somewhat with the premise of the series- to break free from expectations and take risks to live the way you want.

Akira falls in love with his coworker then again with the flight attendant and again with Shizuka because they match his type. Sure, it's a safe and comfortable option to pursue love at first sight with someone you know for certain matches your preferences. It's convenient and there's little chance of them failing to meet your expectations for a relationship. But that also means that there's little chance of them exceeding your expectations. From the start, you've already boxed them into your preconceived notions. It's much harder to take the risk on someone that doesn't fit your own expectations. What if you aren't compatible? What if it ends in disappointment or pain? But that also means they aren't limited to what you believe is possible. You never know who you might end up liking. In that sense, it seems a bit contradictory that Akira continues to follow the same pattern of behavior despite his big change to taking more risks.

While I can't say I'm disappointed with the way things are, it would be more interesting to see the show take an unexpected turn.
