Thank god this is over. Biggest dissappointment of this season, and I was really looking forward to a good zombie anime, not some generic ecchi-fest with crappy tacked on drama.

Episodes 1,2,3,12 were good. The rest were really bad.

If you take into consideration that this anime/manga has no real plot and its just about zombie slashing and tons of fanservice then i can say they did a decent job on the action scenes and over the top bad fanservice from my point of view.

And about 2nd season ppl should not rejoice because theere is no manga material for it. I guess the OVA will be about the police girl in the end of this episode. If there is another season then it will be after 2-3 years.

7/10 mostly because of the 4 good episodes

I would presume that they've targeted the China/Russia Block which is quite close to Japan.

*EDIT*
Two words:
Cold War
If you do politics then you'll understand why they would bomb there.

tecu said:
Yeah, really original humor etc etc..

Thank god this series ended. Now I don't have to drop anything as long as I don't start watching season 2.

Even in a zombie apocalypse, each country's government is doing what it can to prevent another country from gaining global dominance during this time of crisis, but at the same time attempting to gain dominance over the others by crippling them, which is where the EMP's come in. It's M.A.D because each government can't trust one other, and for good reason.

There most likely will be a second season, becaus they showed a main characther from the next arc in the manga from where the anime is in the ed pics :D

Hope you guys don`t mind me spoiling a little bit to give you hope XD

Somewhat true, the main character of the Mall arc has blond hair. The character shown was the other cop that left shortly be4 Takashi and the others arrived to get help.
Still there will be a second season. I'm sure of it.

Des said:


I don`t read the manga, they just told us that on CR.

Koi-phan said:

So basically you didn't watch the same series that I just finished. You seem to have forgotten that this Zombie outbreak was on a worldwide pandemic scale and the nuclear weapons seemed to be launched in an attempt to contain the infected cities. Considering in past episodes we saw Washington D.C. overrun with Zombies we can assume that the United States wasn't thinking of expanding it's global Hegemony. We could also assume the same for the other Nuclear nations. In episode 11 they discussed Russia actually firing a MIRV(Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle). You don't launch a MIRV unless you are seriously planning on destroying a lot of targets. We also see in episode 11 the United States shoot off an SLBM(submarine-launched ballistic missile). Ask yourself why the United States, which was implied as being overrun with Zombies would want to disable the electronics in Japan. This is a strategic tactic that is to be implemented before an invasion. There are only a few logical reasons I can think of to use Nuclear weapons during a world wide pandemic, assuming the zombies were caused by some sort of virus and not the devil, one would be to attempt to contain the infected areas. Of which Japan was an infected zone. Another would be if another country did not know that this was a world wide pandemic and interpreted the zombie breakout as a first strike biological attack against it's country.

Since a real antagonist was never really established, other than the Zombies and crazy perv teacher guy, how are we to imagine like you are suggesting that there is an actual attempt by some evil country to take over the world. Seriously yo. The only reason they used the EMP attack was to add a dramatic effect that would lead to some sort of climax. I'm just pointing out that premise behind the entire episode was not well thought out, nor was the entire series a good example of other Zombie movies which have meaning and substance behind all the gore and fanservice. This show had a chance in the beginning, but it just fell into the same ecchi hole, when it continued to focus on fanservice rather than a well developed plot. It's ok haters gonna hate right? But seriously I'm still just really disappointed. I say if they do ever decide to create a second season they need to fire the mangaka if he's at fault for this plot line or ignore him and focus more on other great zombie creators, particularly George A. Romero.
