| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This movie is about what? Zombie apocalypse or the girl's miserable life? The reason for the zombie apocalypse is not explained, and the girl's story is ill-told, generic and banal. There is no moral in story. Just a lot of deaths. The only thing saved here is the technical side. The rest is disposable and aimless waste. |

| I don't know either. the lack of plot was bad but it's just a mindless zombie apocalypse movie I guess it's okay. |
 |
| VerdantMonkey nailed it. Seoul Station is a fine film, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table or offering anything particularly compelling or exciting, like Train to Busan. I don't regret watching it, but I probably wouldn't watch it again. |
| Not a bad movie imo. I didn't mind the weak plot. The only thing that really bothered me was the bleak portrayal of humanity. The female MC was really the only person with any worth whatsoever. Everyone else was selfish, hateful and just basically awful (well, except for the guy who tried to save her while she was hanging from those wires above the crowd of infected). The boyfriend kind of redeemed himself in the end, but everyone else was just a waste of space. I really kind of feel like that was the whole point of this show. Seems like the author was making a statement about the state of mankind and our own lack of humanity...or something. This is such a played out, hackneyed concept, it doesn't really impress me though. I think the show would have been better off with a few "good guy" characters for the viewer to actually care about, rather than just an endless parade of selfish assholes.. As far as plot-driven film goes, this thing was a bomb. But, considering it was just the 9,000th mindless zombie flick to come out in the last 5-10 years it wasn't bad. |

| Really good movie that I enjoyed, the plot isn't there and its true all those deaths weren't meaningful. Too bad everyone died in the movie including Hye-sun whom I thought would be carried by the movie. I kinda knew Ki-Woong would die but not Hye, the "dad's" death was inevitable though as he was an impostor and really bad. I didn't want the homeless old man Hye-sun was with to die, he seems pitiful man and the only good man besides the other dude who died trying to save her while climbing. The animation wasn't that top quality, the story lacked meaning, the characters weren't that memorable and the development was really wack but amidst all that I enjoyed it. It's a surprising 7/10 from me purely from enjoyment. |

| I felt this was meh. Did it really even set anything up for Train to Busan? They don't even need to be in the same universe, not because one is animated. Just shares common themes; zombies, trains and being set in South Korea. |

| Well, for me it was better then I expected. I have watched both this and Train to Busan and I can clearly say even though this one was supposed to set Busan up, it could easily be two separate movies. I liked how the integrated the social issues of Korea into the film to. I see everyone saying that everyone was selfish and not likable. For me, I liked the homeless guy who died getting up on the bus. He kept it real the entire time and was extremely selfless the entirety of the movie. |
| I watched it like looong ago and I just discoveted that it's on MAL. Tbh it's not that bad, the zombie thingy and the suspenses, I watched it in the middle of the night and it quite scary. But the animation, it's not really my taste. |
 |
| I honestly put up with a lot of this movie's characters but the final twist at the end was just so fucking moronic I just wanted to stop watching altogether, partnered with the actions the military took. This was a lot lot worse compared to train to busan |
| It wasn't boring, but the story has no structure and direction. What were they trying to achieve? The animation is also terrible. |
