Good grief, that was a great cinematic premiere, with lots of great colour and passion put into it. Great transitions, direction, and music, just all of it screamed a massive amount of entertainment value and fun. The premise is not all that complex, with a guy overworked so much he became a "zombie", only to wake up to a world full of zombies, so he doesn't need to go to work anymore due to the sheer carnage around the city. I don't particularly like zombie shows usually, but this one seems so well produced that it'll be one that could be the best anime of the season. Bug Films, a new studio with staff from Studio OLM, certainly is off to a great start with this one with such movie quality.

How much do you guys wanna bet this is gonna end up just like Deadman Wonderland? What do I mean by that? A very captivating, well made, stunning and interesting 1st ep followed by an utter sh*t-show.

My god, poor Akira. That corporate work life is hellish. I've heard about the long work hours in Japan and can't help but wonder if what was shown in the show is an accurate depiction of that life. This kid really needed a union. While I felt relieved that he no longer has to go to work, this unsettling feeling stayed with me. I think if I were in his position, I would feel exactly how he felt. The show did an excellent job conveying all the emotions Akira felt throughout his 3 years at work from his excitement at starting his dream job to slowly but surely falling into a deep depression. Not to mention, the strategic use of color was visually appealing and added to the storytelling.

Is the boss bald and wears a wig?
touches his hair several times 1:50
touches his hair again 2:17
touches his hair for the third time 2:33
kinda brag about his hair 9:21
he looks so happy with his hair
he loses his hair throught the fight (from 19:49 to 20:00)
he looks bald in the middle of the fight
his hair appears on t he ground at 20:09
so it must have been a wig all that time

Why didn't the zombie apocalypse felt real?

Don't get me wrong, 1st ep was good, story was good but it all felt like the MC was having a dream for overwork stress. As the last movie he watched was zombie one and didn't get any sleep so could it be he imagining things.... Idk.

Despite not reading the manga (not much of a manga reader), I actually enjoyed the first episode. Wasn't expecting to be that great.

Hard to believe that Ohtori (whom Akira has a crush on) is having an affair with that fat f*** boss, much to the MC's disappointment, but, still doesn't give up. After seeing his boss become a zombie and killing him was satisfying, sadly Ohtori also turned into a runner (another word for zombie). At least Akira managed to confess his feelings for her, despite already a runner, instead of killing her, he decided to leave her.

Overall, the anime is really good! This maybe my favorite zombie genre anime since Highschool of the Dead, really looking forward of the anime and the episodes! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Right off the bat, this anime has started strong. beautiful design, amazing animation, an intriguing and relatable ADULT PROTAGONIST!!! im so grateful to get a young adult character. as im getting older, i find such grace and appreciation for it.
Running us through the experiences that he lived through, showing the fall of his mental health. the way he lives. the depections of his life were all just incredibly detailed and well thought out. they showed the crumbling outside of a man struggling to keep himself together. they did it so well with the line work in this one. his eyes are always so thought out. every movement they animate looks so well cared for. I don't want to go into details for those who are still going to watch. but this one for the books and is going to be big so get in now.
appreciate the journey we are all about to go on together.

I don't get it... if your work place sucks, just go and find another one. What the hell is wrong with japanese employees?!
It's difficult to know your limits, especially if it's your first job. I'm eastern european and I remember working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and sometimes at nights and early mornings in my first job. It was fine when there was actually work to do but work itself got scarce after the first few months and I was still expected to stay at the office as long as the boss was there (he came in the afternoon and stayed until 10 pm or so). I lasted barely more than 6 months there. My second job had lots of work and the weekends were officially not included but the boss and supervisors wanted the employers on hand 24/7 for whatever job they might need done at that time. I curse the invention of cellphones at times like these. Needless to say, there was no overtime pay. My asian friends have similar stories. It's nearly impossible to find a job and unless you are in a position to negotiate your work hours (as only few select people are rumoured to be), life-work balance is just a myth...

That said the animation was top notch. Liked the idea of multicolour blood there. It's a bit dark for my taste but I'll give it a few more episodes. I'm a bit surprised at the speed of those zombies though.

Knowing from the start zombies are coming kind of ruins the episode. Most of it I was hoping it would finally get to the point. MC is pretty annoying too. Tone is also weird. It's showing a guy being ground to death by a black company, barely walking and then the next scene he runs around flight of stairs and jumps from the top of a building just to safely land on two feet and crush some zombies underneath. So is it semi realistic or Looney Tunes physics? I'm not sure I'll give it another episode. Watching HotD again seems more appealing.

Very fun. I don't know if this is the kind of series that wants to bother explaining how the zombie apocalypse happened, but I don't feel it needs to personally. Enough zombie media exists for us to fill in those blanks on our own.


I liked the all the colours. Rainbow zombieeees.

Well the kid gets a job,hates his job, never gets sleep or gets to do anything because hes an accountant, which been there done that, but then there's a zombie apocalypse, and now he doesnt have to go work. Hes Free to do whatever he wants so basically thats it. And I read a couple of chapters and its just a bunch of sex, drinking and zombie tits. All thats relevant is the bucket list.

Too much censorship but I don't particularly hate it here.

Interested in how the story will progress from here, all I could tell from this episode is there's no story it's all chaos( will it be fun I wonder? ). Poor mc tho, felt really bad when he learned the harsh truth about his first ever crush.
Luckily, luck is on his side once again.

I've not read the manga for this but I went in knowing that it's going to attract a lot of Hype and it has!

The 1st episode was so interesting and very artistically aesthetically pleasing (as an artist), the way the episode was done was so cool. I can't wait to watch more episodes of this anime.

The only reason I heard of this anime is because I got it mixed up with another zombie anime: Undead Unluck. And I'm sure glad I decided to watch this anyway. Because this first episode was awesome.
