Zombies return lol. There goes all common logic all the window and they even have a queen now!

Jokes aside, it kinda forced the girls to work together to survive. Oh and when the time calls for it, Shizuru can be a bit of a badass. Truly though, zombies being added to this show made my eyes roll.

This is much better than The Walking Dead.

Well, the girls got to keep their brains after all thanks to their unusual escape tactics.

That video game part was hilarious.

Kuroki is actually a very sweet and caring girl. She makes a great queen indeed.

I can't wait to see the Ikebukuro queen. I hope she's not too scary.

Okay, so .. first things first xD ... the operation pretend to be a zombie and go and save Shizuru was a total bust at first, because our trio of rescuers got busted really fast. BUT, thanks to the secret weakness that we all know zombies have ... they have managed to successfully escape, lmao.

Why do i feel like this episode was a very specific allegory to something ...

I think that was the first panty shot in this anime and it was shown in a situation where it made sense it wasn't random.
This anime is keeping it very modest.
The episode itself was fun to watch the weakness of the zombies was interesting.

be aware of the ikebukuro queen she warns them.

I wonder if it could be Yoka?

or is that too predictable?

Zombies are pervs and so are humans.
Ikebukuro's queen. That's very interesting. She could be Youka.

It was not just that Akira-chan was able to quote from Lady Chatterley's Lover by heart, but she done it with a straight face as if she had been reading up from a magazine. And not one of her friends asked her why had she read such books...

Great episode, but feels like the budget/time constraints are getting stricter. I tried transcribing the wabun/morse code on this episode (-...--.----.--------.--...-..-..) since it sounded suspicious, and it seems to be gibberish this time ("meeekorutoho")
Kind of a shame - not only because this is the first episode aside from the 2nd where the morse is slow and isn't drowned out by dialogue, but also because you can actually hear accurate, albeit partial, morse in the previous episodes - the morse in episode 3 was "kochiraa" ("This is A-[kira/gano]"), and I think the morse in episode 4 started with "kinoko" (I.E. mushroom).

Also caught a frame where the blood drool disappears at 4:24 on the zombie: https://i.imgur.com/xZHUYCC.png vs https://i.imgur.com/m8fe48N.png

Great episode :D
Am I the only one appreciating how they put the original THOTD game exactly as it is into the game? :D
After Nadeko defeats the first boss, you can even hear the cutscene still playing in the background where Sophie tells the player to find Curien while dying :D

"Ah yes, I remember that episode where in order to escape from zombies the girls created a fake aluminun brain, did zombie-face, played the Sega Saturn classic House of the Dead, resisted the urge to eat udon, narrated an erotic novel out loud, sang a pervy song but finally did with diplomacy with their flasher of a queen."

It was utterly ridiculous but perhaps I now know how to be well equipped to fend off an apocalypse so there's that, we owe it all to the one and only D H Lawrence and should profusely recite his great novel until rivaling the same conviction to that of Akira... But genuinely after this episode, I don't know whether to take moments like this more or less seriously. Thus far it seems like a topsy-turvy compilation of mutated, distorted environments that could mean everything or nothing come the end of the plot, it is that unorthodox. That wildcard aspect alone makes it all the more enthralling to be fair.

Every time I think this show can’t get any crazier it just surpasses my wildest expectations. Who the hell would’ve expected the zombies’ weakness to be erotic literature, like what 😭 I have to give it to the writers and the production team, this is truly an original anime and we need more stuff like this.

The power of horny compels you.. The fact that Akira was able to effortlessly rattle off lady chatterly’s lover by DH Lawrence to beat the zombie horde still has me crying, and to do it with a straight face man wtf. Also, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen panty shots used as a mind controlling device?

Actually pretty wholesome that the zombie “queen” stayed behind. I guess with her family and town likely wiped out, the zombies are pretty much all she has left at this point. I think even if she removed all the paint she’d be good.

They hinted at Ikebukuro having a queen which I’m almost 1000 sure will be youka.. mystery deepens, can’t wait for next week

Very good episode.

Kuroki is good queen.

The girls escaped from it anyways.

Overall this zombie episode was really nice and warm.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

It’s crazy how crazy this show is without ever feeling like it’s just crazy. The way it maintains a steady hand while literally some of the most absurd stuff is happening is nothing short of masterful. And the dialogue is just so fresh and snappy and surprising. What an absolute banger of an anime

Hmm, maybe the zombies explode when exposed to dirty talk/panty shots due to fluid pressure increases but whatever the reason it was silly and funny. Also, I was right that their queen is not a zombie herself and even though she was invited to join the girls it looks like she has grown some fondness to the zombies as she can take care of them (or at least control) and chose to stay behind instead.

Side note, the scene with the Sega Saturn and House of the Dead game was a surprising, but cool, addition 👍

To be fair, I thought this episode would turn the show's rating from PG-13 (according to what MAL says) to R-18 if their method of saying erotic stuff to make the zombies "combust" would be nonstop moaning for a good third of the episode. Then again, someone's probably started making this version, so I'm definitely not the only one who's been twisted by spicy media.

Unlike the small man that ruled over Inariyama-kōen [SI 22] a couple episodes back, I actually felt for the queen after watching this episode's flashbacks. Stating that her home station was Hōya [SI 12], that would've been a distance of 5.5 km or 3.4 mi normally, but certainly would've been absurdly longer considering how everything was warped by 7G. But when all hope seemed lost, at least she had those zombies to keep her company, leading to a sweet closure to this week's episode. That's what I seem to love about this anime: there's adequate effort put into building the background and its inhabitants for each "main" station the girls pass through.

Finally, the girls have left Kiyose [SI 15] and continue their trek towards Ikebukuro, but we now know there is another queen waiting for them at Ikebukuro. Might as well be Yoka-chan for all we know, but there isn't much info—at least from what I recall and can see—to place certainty on that hunch.

14 Stations, 19.6 km left to Ikebukuro

@Phantom_373 I also think that's the case. OP kind of spoils that too + She's the one who pushed the 7G button and stuff. I think she'd be made into a queen by surrounding people regardless of her wishes.

@Aversa first full panty shot, we actually got a glimpse of Akira's when she was becoming a mushroom person. I was disappointed we didn't get Shizuru's panty shot though.

A very good episode. It was fairly obvious the Zombie Queen wasn't really a zombie. With 14 stops to go, they're either going to have to accelerate or have a season 2.

Such a great episode, really like the logic in this anime lol like, don't move when there are zombies, zombies explode when they see or hear lewd things.

Shizuru-Tachi's singing is really hilarious lol, but it doesn't really work on all the zombies and it turns out Kuroki is a human.

Kuroki is a kind queen, really hoping she comes with them to Ikebukuro, but she is a queen so the answer is no.

They also gave a hint that there was also a queen in Ikebukuro and the answer was definitely Yoka.

Alright, it's not that Shizuru has a bad personality, it's that she has a severe case of deflated self-esteem and she actually wants to tell all her friends not to leave her behind, but she pretends to be a realist.
The old conversation with Youka in last week's episode escalated quickly and she ended up saying an awful lot of terrible things that she didn't even mean to say because she's a stubborn, self-protective girl who pretends to be a cheerful person but can't apologize honestly.

I really enjoyed this episode. Those zombies were the most ridiculous and bizarre I've ever seen, their weakness being perverted things. This anime gets weirder and crazier with each episode, haha.

We learned something new about the protagonists: Nadeko is good at video games, and I didn't expect her to play House of the Dead, while Akira likes erotic novels. In the end, it turns out that the zombie queen was a human after all. Although there's another queen in Ikebukuro, could it be Youka?

@takuseal They skipped 5 stations in between the previous stop and this one; they'll probably do another couple big skips to make it there

This episode was amazing, the best episode of the show by far. It makes me wish the rest of the episodes were of this quality, but at least we got this one.

I loved the subversion of the zombie trope, the characters all acted like themselves this time, the jokes were hilarious and it fit the quick dialogue style, they didn't rely on the "Zenjiro rambles until he runs out of time" joke, and they somehow managed to add emotion too. 10/10!

The House of the Dead bit was hilarious, Nadeshiko quickly becoming best girl.

Are there really 3 people in this forum who've read this book, or at least recognize the quote? Either you've all read a lot, or that book is more famous than I think. O.O"

I'm guessing Kuroki knew they were human from the start, but just strung them along to make the most of the opportunity to talk with other humans. Also, got to share her game with Nadeshiko.

It's really nice to see everyone smiling again.

After Akira is finished, now change to Shizuru. After Shizuru is finished, I hope that there will be no more problems experienced by each of the girls in the future.

Getting closer to Ikebukuro, hopefully Youka can still be found. Very good episode again.

What? Ecchi zombies? Hey, just like that controversial Japanese movie...

Nice conclusion for this two-part story. Not gonna lie, I was expecting this mini-arc to be darker or even gruesome but it ended up being quite endearing instead.
Such a shame Kuroki didn't join the girls tho. She's cute and I really liked her character.

So... that Ikebukuro queen is Youka, right?
