Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto Episode 12 Discussion

This was a great finale, I didn’t think they’d be able to make me feel for Higurashi but at the same time I had a feeling they would lol, he was definitely the villain you could sympathize with the most of him and his gang, I kinda have the same thoughts as Akira on that I can’t hate him, but I also agree with the other thing that was said about him, being that he was a dumbass lol. And at the same time it’s hard to overlook unleashing the hoard on the village, but if I’m not mistaken everyone ended up being saved so I guess it wasn’t so bad, that really surprised me too after the size of that hoard.

And I’m ngl, the reveal that Akira’s dad wasn’t infected by zombies, but hemorrhoids really surprised me as well lol, they really got me with that one, good for Akira and his family that it wasn’t the case. And now the gang heads to Hokkaido, but not before some sightseeing first which we saw as the OP played at the end, as well as some scenes of some of the characters we’ve met along the way which I really liked.

And now we can finally close the book on this great zombie anime, very happy to finally see it end after all this time on Christmas this year. It was very fun anime, a unique spin on a zombie apocalypse with some very memorable characters, hard to forget Beatrix and her magnum chest lol. That being said tho, the delays for this show really sucked, it was a show that had so much attention and hype, but the delays pretty much killed it. I’ll say tho, I personally never lost interest in this show, me and my buddy I watched this with were patiently waiting for these last three episodes and now that we finally have them, we can call this a great show. I just hope if BUG FILMS makes another anime in the future that they learn from their mistakes with this show and not only deliver a quality product, but deliver it in a good timely manner.

And lastly, I can’t end this review without mentioning the banger OP and ED, we had the OP with visuals that kept progressively getting better until it was finally perfected with that great KANA-BOON song, and the lighthearted ED after the (sometimes) intense episodes with the nostalgic visuals and classic aspect ratio, a great combo for sure. This is one I’d love to see get a Season 2, but once again I hope it has a better release schedule if it ever does.

Hissler-chan was also a misunderstood person. Too bad the allies didn't get a long flashback putting him in a favourable and sympathetic light.

Meh.

As expected, the finale was bound to be a complete disappointment.

More talk no jutsu scenes in the middle of a zombie infestation, and it's ridiculous that the protags pay 100% attention to such long flashbacks to make a comeback of "your wrong." If we the audience truly needed to know that all these edgelords had a sad sob story of them digging up their own graves, why the flashbacks didn't happen earlier before all the chaos broke lose in the village? It's such a crappy shonen trope to stall everything to infodump the audience in the last minute.

There's also Akira's last minute plan. Did he really have that much time for the girls to give that amount of detail on his makeup on such a short lapse? Top of it all, to make Higurashi that stupid to buy such a cheap charade. I also wonder who the heck was moving the bulldozer if fatty guy chased after Shizuka, did Higurashi climb down from the blade only to reposition it near the huts and then climbed up again to act like a cringe chunny edgelord? And yet again, the protags are so pure they won't directly beat the aggresors, but will let the horde to the dirty job (except fatty, but it's also quite hard to believe that old folks had the strength to beat him up with their tools and fists).

Kencho's cringe naked comedic routines will never be funny, just like the overall comedy of the show (good lord, making Akira's dad illness a hemorrhoid case was max cringe).

The only saving grace of this show was the art and top tier animation in the early episodes. Other than that it's the most forgettable action/comedy of recent years. Thank god we're getting Konosuba S3 next year.

This one gets a 5/10 from me.

@Kimurah You don't need to write an essay we all know that pretty well. Its so simple this anime is not for you. From my pov this is basically another konosuba with maybe less absurd and less violence (or maybe not, i dont remember much about konosuba so this is all i can say).

The last few episodes released today to close the season didn't do much for me, including this predictable finale here. Never really enjoyed this arc in the manga and that didn't change much in the anime. The premiere was really good but the anime just became less enjoyable as the series progressed, humor became a bit more annoying, and the various production issues present throughout the series killed any remaining momentum present from those beginning episodes when the series had something fresh going for it. What had a lot of promise with its premise just became another forgettable anime towards the end.
