| That's pretty cool to see Xeno. Nice to see a little anime like this actually getting the attention it deserves for once |
  |
| I'm just wondering what exactly is causing this series' popularity? I assume it's because of the cuteness factor, but that logic is flimsy since several moe shows (Nichijou for instance) bombed on Japanese TV. The manga was barely popular before the series, and none of its staff is notable. So what exactly is it? Edit: And if the series is only 10th in popularity, what actually IS the most popular series? Just curious. |

So i am not giving false hope to no one, i'm showing facts. At the moment Gakkou Gurashi is the one who is getting most the attention. Charlotte has a lot of followers because it was the most hyped. I hope I have clarified the facts |

It's more about contrast, by first going in one direction and them making a sudden 180 degree turn and trying to make it as misleading as possible, and then eventually ending up with a show with two direct polar opposite traits mingled together ... *checking dictionary* I see, deconstruction is kinda close, but doesn't completly wrap it. For one moment I thought that word would actually suit the Evangelion series better. Especially the ending. Guess there isn't a word that would fit it. I just now noticed there is no psychological genre on the list. This anime is mainly about interaction and coping with the extreme situation they are involved in. Xenocrisi said: It's called Moeapocalyptic Ah. That sounds perfect. |

haXXspetten said: That sounds beautiful Dreams_of_Neko said: Ah. That sounds perfect. Lol, gald you like it guys |
| The atmosphere is so damn good, the sound effects, the execution. It's fucking perfect. So far this definitely my best show this season. We need more of this stuff. :D Possible spoiler in case I guess right (but everyone probably guesses this by now) |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Damn, good. Good stuff. The change of atmosphere and mood is quite something. So far, so good. Liking it. Those zombies though. I think my heart will break if one dies. Looking forward to next episode already! |
  |
| i hope we get a season 2 manga spoiler: i dont think this is a spoiler but just in case: |
| Just a bit interesting so far. Though I do hope that the light hearted comedy will tone down a lot as the series goes on, as it's very distracting from the whole zombie apocalypse thing going on. Also, I hope this is one of those "slowly opening the eyes of Yuki" into realizing that this is their reality or something. Though this will probably not happen and I'll just be forced to watch 10 mins of slice of life light hearted comedy every episode. Lastly, PLEASE GIVE US ESSPLAINATION ALREADY. |
 |
| About the opening... |
| My life is now complete. Take me now (after this series end). |
Twinkieftw said: About the opening... I was thinking the same, i hope they do it. Probably no OP changes next week for no spoilers but in the 4th episode they'll change the OP again |
| Really enjoying this so far. The parts with the zombies put me on edge; some nice suspense. The whole bit with Yuki and her hallucinations is an interesting element to the series, too. I've actually never seen a zombie anime before myself so this should be fun. But what I don't get is why Kurumi is the only one who makes a point to carry a weapon? Why don't the others equip themselves with something just in case they get separated from her or if she can't reach them in time? Especially if they're going outside the bounds of their barricade, where zombies could reside. And especially since they split up in the library. I also thought it was odd that they left Kurumi by the door when going into the library since they've already cleared the area behind them; it'd be better to have her go in with them since they don't know if zombies are inside or not and she's the only one with something to whack them with. And no, that bucket Miki had doesn't count as a weapon because that's not going to do shit in terms of actually killing them lol. also why didn't they grab more stuff in the store? there were a bunch of food supplies there; it'd be easy to stuff them in their bag when Yuki's not looking so they wouldn't have to risk multiple trips back. unless they did grab more off-screen. hm. -shrug- (image under spoiler) Also, that barricade is terrible. They could just climb up that stone between the stairs. Should put some wires there too. Though that desk barricade in general looks like it wouldn't be that hard to push over. There's nothing really tying it down to the wall or the floor. Nitpicking aside, I eagerly look forward to the next episode. Though there's no way someone won't eventually die with survival skills like this lol. ^^ |

| ^Zombies in this series really aren't athletic at all, they have serious trouble even climbing stairs. |
 |
| ^^ Because Kurumi is the only one in the group that has balls as big as your table |
Amarrez said: ^Zombies in this series really aren't athletic at all, they have serious trouble even climbing stairs. Fair point. I'd still put a bit more effort into those barricades just in case they're not all like that or something happens. Can't really be too careful. Though if the zombies' motor skills are really that bad, then how is it the MCs seem to be only humans left in the school? You'd think more people would've managed to survive if the zombies struggle to even climb stairs. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ They don't seem like very formidable opponents from what we've seen so far lol. Xenocrisi said: ^^ Because Kurumi is the only one in the group that has balls as big as your table True, she seems to the bravest out of all of them, but relying so heavily on her is just guaranteed to bite them in the ass later. Still wouldn't hurt to grab something even if they're a bit too chicken to go all gung-ho with it like her; I'd think it'd make them feel safer at least. If one was coming at them I think their survival instincts would appreciate being armed, haha. ^^ Ah, zombie apocalypse scenarios are too fun like this lol. |

"what if the outbreak just started not too long ago, they struggle to secure food and some materials to defend themself, but they dont found enough materials to make good barricade and decided to make that simpe (terrible) barricade until they get good materials." moreover from the OP2 we can see the school entrance also blocked by wooden board, maybe they make that barricade just to protect themself from zombie left inside the school. if the simple barricade cant stop the zombie and fall, they can hear the voices and do something about it right? |

| This anime is amazing so far, I'm loving it. I agree with some people theorizing that the teacher is imaginary. Proof: - She doesn't eat what everyone else is. - She disappears from the group and the friends think Yuki was the one who decided to stay put, they thank the teacher after Yuki points out that thanks to the teacher being there everything is alright. - After the credits, Yuki says she should hold a shovel like Kurumi so she can sound strong with the title, "Shovel-sensei." The teacher says that she can't carry heavy things. Is she just saying this because she can't carry anything at all because she's not even real? Most likely. |

| I wasn't sure what was going on at the end of the first episode but what a surprise ... SoL meets zombie apocalypse. Really tense moments offset by Yuki's running around and munching on candy. Super good. |
Ephemer4l said: Drake1000 said: You made me spit out my coffee .... In a good way :3 Lol |
| Ok so after these 2 episode (thanks to a friend who told me about this anime) i'm absolutely loving it so far. (my thought on the lovely teacher) Megumi i believe is nonexistent: she is part of Yuki's "world". to be more specific i believe she is the Subconscious of Yuki that bridges Reality and Yuki's "Dream World" that is why she protected Yuki from the Zombie (as she was making it so that Yuki thought it was a ghost in her "Dream World" whilst protecting her from reality; aka getting killed by a damn Zombie) The other characters simply play along with Yuki's "world" whenever she mentions that the Teacher is around. (although idk how they respond to what she's saying sometime's or know what she said at all) Overall this is an anime i'm very much interested in and i hope it manages to pull me in further with upcoming episodes. |

| I have never hated a fictional character, but goddammit, Yuki is coming close to becoming the first one. Please, for the love of whatever you consider holy, either make her mute or kill her. This would be so, so much better without her. Seriously, if you're ever in a zombie apocalypse, she (or anyone else like her) is the first one who gets to play the role of "live bait". EDIT: I thought she (the chick with the spade) was gonna get raped, but apparently her crush just got infected out of nowhere? What, is it transmissible by air? |

Though there's no way someone won't eventually die with survival skills like this lol. ^^ This is how I would see it. This anime is more about survival and less killing zombies like in Left 4 Dead or Dead Rising or High School of the Dead. Each character has a (stereotypical) role to play, with Kurumi being the defender. It takes not only strength, but also metal preparation to take down zombies with hands not shaking. The only way to dispatch the living dead is destroying the brain, so hitting the body does not work. According to the zombie survival guide, one ready person with a basic weapon can kill more zombies than a disorganized mob armed with machine guns. Zombies don't climb over the ledge. That might be the logic the girls are going for. Besides, they are neither that strong nor well-trained to construct some sort of military-class barricade. I am a fan of zombies, and since Western filmmakers have finally ran out of ideas for them (we are seeing more "soft" sides of zombies now with Warm Bodies and Maggie), I look forward to this anime a lot. |
