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. ^^


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.

A lot of things in anime do not make sense in real life. For example, in Charlotte, I struggle to understand why someone has to perform a test without any preparation just because the school hears some rumors about him cheating.


Wasn't Nao manipulating those guys? Besides, that school was a very prestigious school. I think if there were rumors that there top scoring student was cheating they'd want to snuff it out as quickly as possible. Not nearly as nonsense as you say.

In Akame Ga Kill, a lot of bodies disappeared for no reason because the animators could not be bothered to include them in the background. Also, in episode 4, there is a fight right at the middle of the square, and even though the Imperial Guards have the city carefully patrolled, they never showed up.


That's not called nonsense, that's called laziness from the author and animation studio.

bibotot said:
Tokyo Ghoul has people doing their everyday life normally. With flesh-eating ghouls roaming the city, shouldn't they be more cautious? No one seems to die in Aldnoah.zero, even though entire cities are decimated by giant mechs.


They were living in a ward (was it called that?) that was amongst the safest. Of course people would be more relaxed than in any dangerous wards.

bibotot said:
The scene in School-Live could be because they were struggling. Zombies are not very adept in taking down humans compared to predators in the wild, such as tigers and panthers. They have to rely on numbers, the inability to feel pain and the element of surprise to catch the prey.


They are ZOMBIES. Their instinct is to eat, not to rape. If they were to catch a human, i.e. their prey, their instinct would be "Don't fuckin' let go".

bibotot said:
We all need to give some exceptions to anime, or we can never enjoy one.


Of course, I'm not saying we shouldn't. But to excuse every fault by saying that, such as with Plastic Memories and their sheer incapability to make a fucking back-up, you're allowing writers to be incompetent because you're just gonna gobble up whatever they say.

bibotot said:
Also, Yuki's carefree nature does not bother anyone, apart Miki to a minor extent. There are many other annoying anime characters that I wish I could throw a brick at. Yes, I am talking about those Tsundere stereotypes.


Tsundere stereotypes, really? When you're trying to survive, I'd take a stereotypical tsundere any day of the week over someone like Yuki... unless if we needed live bait, of course.

Zombies are mindless beasts that are programmed to eat humans. Is that not what zombies are? And from what I've seen, their instincts aren't any different in this either. By the way, can you read?

i'm rewatching that scene again so here's my opinion.

i dont think that senpai (zombie) throw her to the ground. kurumi herself struggle trying to escape from the zombie, and then she fell. if us are on the same situation like her, who gonna stay put and let the zombie eat ourself? it's basic human insting to run from unexpected situation like that

He'd already caught her, so I doubt she could fall just like that. Also, she was pretty shocked, so I doubt she was trying to run either or she'd have done so the moment she was freed from zombie-senpai.

Do you study at an Asian prestigious school? I do, and I can say it is absolutely not like that for 3 reasons:

- A student may need to be mentally prepared for a test. Paying attention in class and doing your homework do not mean you will always perform great in tests. You need to study for that test specifically. If a student is forced to take an important test in such short notice, he or she may panic and the performance is impaired.

- There are other elements that affect the test score. No one is consistently good or bad. Unlucky good students who study hard but suffer sickness during exam can still fail while lucky bad students who study for one particular subject and get it as the main topic of the test can still pass. A lot of MCQs for prestigious schools are next to impossible, meaning 1% students will know the answer and the other 99% will have to choose randomly and pray to God it is correct.

- A lot of students fail or pass the test by a tiny margin. If the test requires 70/100 and you score 69, you will fail, but that does not mean it is conclusive that you are absolutely less intelligent than someone who scores 70 and passes.

A better scenario for this would be forcing the MC to sit in an empty room in the end of term exam, instead of immediately. I do not want to bring this up because this is not the discussion for Charlotte, but just to let you.

It's not like that. People in the anime seem very ignorant of the fact there are ghouls around, despite the TV broadcasting about the ghouls all the time. I don't know why the ward is safest when there are still people being devoured everyday. It's not like it's a big secret or anything.

I have not watched Season 2, due to disappointing ending of season 1, nor read the manga, so I might miss a lot in there.

How many zombie movies have you even watched? In the Walking Dead, people even run through zombies who are not quick enough to react and catch them. In any zombie film, one zombie rarely overpowers anyone.

I can read.
I am asking again - how many zombie situations have you been, since you know so much about zombies.
Wanna know a zombie in real life? A fungi that attaches itself to an ant, eats its brain and leaves it to die, so it would spread the fungi's spores. That is it. It doesn't actively seek other ants to eat them.
What we know about zombies is all from pop-culture and it's all fictional. So stating "zombies should be this and that" is absolute bullshit. We don't know that. We were told that and it's totally not the same as being in the situation. In this case Gakkou Gurashi picked slow zombies. And apparently they keep memories of past lives, or at least some do, as someone pointed it out to you. So let me ask your own question: can YOU read?!

yeah i mean because she's using much power to escape by pulling her hand against the zombie, when her hand freed, the pulling effect causing her to fall. kurumi seems like not a dojikko character to just fall to the ground without a cause

I do not go to school anymore, but I will tell you that yes, I did, in fact, go to a prestigious school in my country. Two of them. And yes, they are Asian. However, as I never really bothered to study, I was never amongst the higher scoring students except for in one occasion, where I was third in the grade with a measly 67% in Accounting.
As for the remaining points; he was constantly scoring nearly a 100%, as such he is, academically, the most important student in the school. If there are rumors that such a student had been cheating, there'd be suspicions that someone was helping him and that is not something a prestigious school like that would want, as I can attest. One of the schools I went to disallowed students who failed to qualify for the government subsidy for the O' Levels because they feared those students would bring the average of the school down.
Also, you do realise that he was alleged of cheating and they didn't know how. Informing him that they were gonna give him a test would be outright retarded. They also told him he didn't need to match his usual records. Being near would be enough. Surely, someone who "studies everyday" can score rather high, even if asked right out of the blue. It's also just a rumor. As such, they would want it kept quiet, because, you know, there is such a thing as reputation.

I may be wrong about this, considering how long it's been since I read either of the manga or watched either of the anime, but early on it was mentioned that people are ignorant to the ghouls, which is the reason why the TV broadcasts so much about the ghoul. As for Ward 20, it's called the safest because of those guys in the cafe. They make sure everything is done discreetly and that as less living humans as possible are eaten. The biggest concern about the ward was that a binge eater was spotted in the ward, so it can't be nearly as bad as any of the more dangerous wards, which look like a warzone.

Boosts morale? Her loudmouthed and carefree nature is the perfect mixture to lure zombies towards you. They even mentioned how loud noises attract the zombies in this. I don't know about you guys, but if I was trying not to get turned into a zombie, I'd try not to have someone in my group that naturally lures them towards us.

Since my answer is fairly similar to both of you, I'm answering both at the same time. It seemed to me that Kurumi was in shock when her senpai started moving towards her and kinda froze up. If a zombie, whose natural instincts has been shown in this scene itself is to eat humans, caught one of them, they're likely not to let go. Sure, she could try to get him off, but since she froze up in shock, I doubt she could've done that. Btw, I just checked and yes, she did freeze up in shock.

Oh good, so you can read. So you can see that my agreement to zombie-senpai having let go of her was due to remaining memories. Now, to the next point. I'm not using my own logic of how zombies should be. I'm using this show's. I don't know if you noticed, but these zombies seem to have a tendency to go towards living humans and opening their mouths while doing so. Putting one and one together, these zombies' natural instincts, if not to eat humans, then what exactly is it? And for the scene with Kurumi, check my response directly above this one.

I interpreted the "senpai turning into a zombie dream" as just that, a dream. In the manga it happens during the chaos of the outbreak and makes much more sense. In the anime, I think it was meant to symbolize Kurumi's blossoming high school life suddenly turning very dark in what must've seemed like a very short amount of time to her. The visuals in the dream scene support this.

-edit-

That's not to say that Kurumi's crush didn't zombiefy, but I'm just saying that the way Kurumi is dreaming it doesn't necessarily mean it's how it happened. The series deals pretty heavily with mental health and such, so it's not far fetched to think that.

this is a pretty great adaptation so far. it flows for the most part; rii sans allusion to mikis being trapped at the mall seemed out of place though. i feel like if you havent read the manga youd be super confused so i hope they explain that soon. i like the comedy a lot but that might just be me.

Lol did anyone else notice how they awkwardly animated/adapted that scene where Kurumi killed that zombie by the barrier.

In the Manga:
She knocks it on its chest and holds it down by placing her foot on its back, leaving little opportunities for it to grab and/or bite her, allowing her to get a easy kill.

In the Anime:
She knocks it on its BACK leaving plenty openings for it to scratch/grab/bite her and decides the best way to restrain it is place her foot on its... leg. wtf?

It can't be helped that some people feel that way about her but it's still disheartening.

Is there any reason why we shouldn't feel that way about her?

maybe you're looking at this from a pure zombie movie point of view, so only the most fit and combat useful are good characters to stay, if so only yuuri(the mind) and kurumi(the brawn) should survive, cause both miki and yuki are not being useful in the standard zombie apocalypse sense

buuut, the human side of things is as important in this show, yuki is giving them some distraction from their grim situation keeping them in a stable mood, which is very important to remain collected and don't make hasty decisions which may lead them all to die
basically she's indirectly helping them too, and they know of it, that's why they keep her around and try to support her (besides as some has already suggested they may not know how to deal with a mental breakdown, so their only way to help her is to indulge her delusions)

basically, be less stiff about this all, it is still a slice of life even with zombies around

So, I really wonder why it is that Yuki can't see or understand what is really going on.

Also, I have a feeling Megu-nee is part of her delusion.

She only shows up some of the time and interacts mostly with Yuki.

Omg! I'm going to keep an eye out for this now! Obviously, the others said thank you to her for helping Yuki, but they way they all did it could have easily been for Yuki's benefit. O.O But if this is correct, then Yuki is at least subconsciously aware of the zombie situation for her to hide, not move and be quiet like that.

I enjoyed this episode though, because unlike the first episode, this time we got to see more of the zombies and their living situation. But more importantly, we got to see how they are handling Yuki's denial/delusion. ★5/5

Not as badly censored as you'd think. The manga isn't particularly violent, it relies mostly on atmosphere.

After all, they're stupid enough to keep Yuki around despite the fact that her insanity is putting them in way more danger than necessary. Seriously, they're insane to play along with her test of courage in that situation. They should just kill her and be done with it. That way they'll be less at risk and their supplies will last longer.

I know you're being an edgy tool just for the sake of replies, but the end of the episode with Kurumi makes it blatantly obvious that Yuki is an emotional crutch for the rest of the group.


I understand how it's only human to watch out and care for each other. The girls are doing the right thing in doing so, but that doesn't change the fact that Yuki is soooo annoying and a hazard to their safety. Just an opinion - with all due respect :)

I'm guessing Yuki will notice that the world is not like her old back days, and every single member dies. END.

The Black smoke is a Kurumi only thing. It is easier to kill zombies by seeing them as anoymn black fog thingies instead of the human beings they had been, like your crush for example. Dehumanizing your enemy, something that is used in many wars to make sure that your soldiers don't hesitate to kill. Kurumi is doing the same and thus also protects her mentality. After all, she is not killing "former humans" but "black fog things".

After the first episode, I wasn't too sure about it, but this was a good episode, I like that they take this whole zombie thing serious.

While watching the episode I was sure Megu-nee was real, but after some people pointed out the oddities with her I'm not sure anymore...

Kurumi best girl though

It seems Yuki's delusions are also good for others. At least it's an appearance of normality for others.

That is more of a concern of how it will bring about issues later on than it is an issue at present, though. I really like the slow pacing of the series and the anime-original content.

It seems Megumi is Yuki's link to her sanity, a device to counter some of the irrationality of her delusion. I honestly hadn't noticed this at all in the manga, so the anime did a great job at highlighting that this episode me thinks.

tl;dr I liked this episode.

In the beginning I thought this anime was completely different and therefore had a narrative dversa well, I was hesitant watching the first episode, in shock but with a better idea watching the episode today. Narratively like this coupling between the atmosphere fun and sweet with other style horror. Cute the drawings but if necessary can visually describe well the fear of the protagonists. Now I am determined to finish the whole series.

Pretty damn epic setting if you ask me, but I'm sure it won't stay this happy atmosphere that's currently surrounding this while dark yet lovely anime!

Wow, that sure went dark real fast... I'm lovin' this! :D

Of course, I think we can all agree that Megu-nee isn't normal. The way everyone interact with her doesn't seem right. It seem like she's some sort of protector Yuki consciousness built to be able to stay sane (or insane, from other point of view). Or she could obviously just be a survivor teacher, and I'm just way overthinking it. In any case, she's adorably hilarious.

That OP is the shit. Cute moe shit in apocalyptic background. It's like I'm in a weird otaku delusion dream. It feel [ì]good[/i].

Is there any reason why we shouldn't feel that way about her?

maybe you're looking at this from a pure zombie movie point of view, so only the most fit and combat useful are good characters to stay, if so only yuuri(the mind) and kurumi(the brawn) should survive, cause both miki and yuki are not being useful in the standard zombie apocalypse sense

buuut, the human side of things is as important in this show, yuki is giving them some distraction from their grim situation keeping them in a stable mood, which is very important to remain collected and don't make hasty decisions which may lead them all to die
basically she's indirectly helping them too, and they know of it, that's why they keep her around and try to support her (besides as some has already suggested they may not know how to deal with a mental breakdown, so their only way to help her is to indulge her delusions)

basically, be less stiff about this all, it is still a slice of life even with zombies around
Pretty much this. I can't fathom how can anyone hate Yuki when she is so pitiable. She clearly has problems accepting this reality. Do people just want mindless zombie killing show, or perfect characters with no flaws whatsoever? Oh then you're clearly watching the wrong show.

Anyway, I am excited for the upcoming episodes. I think I stopped at this point in the manga, so anything else will be new for me too. XD

The OP kinda changed... O_O

Psychologists would have a field day in analyzing Yuki lol
I don't find Yuki annoying at all. She was a naive girl who experienced traumatic events and thus, she copes by creating a fantasy in which everyone around her is happy.

I'm definitely loving this show!

Pretty good episode.

Kurumi remembering stuff from her past.

I can see your pantsu, Mii. :D

lol at the book having the shows name on it.

When will Yuki get hit with the imagine breaker? I wonder.

Sure, after going past the barrier (where a zombie was hanging out that same day), the first thing you do is stand around talking and let the reality-challenged girl go first. Seems legit.

Seriously, though, if the school has an on-site store that they're raiding for supplies, why haven't they cleared the area so they can keep that inside the barricade? Or at least set up secondary barricades beyond it to reduce the chance it'll get overrun. Maybe the layout makes it tricky -- it'd be really hard to protect any area on the ground floor after all.
