Such a peaceful episode with only the snatching granny and the wild board made a bit wary, but omg, certainly didn't see that coming. Same as the falling people a bit over the top and not really necessary imo.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Am i the only one who cringes when they take F-ing family photos during a nation-shattering apocalypse? Are you kidding me?

Are there really some unattended "mines" or unexploded munition as they mentioned, in Japan?

There was a sign with March 16 1965, i tried to google the date but nothing showed up? Anyone has info on this perhaps? Or is it pure fiction?

I’m sorry but that ending was dumb. It’s just shock value but I found it more funny than sad. The episode explored the natural progression to find safety. It didn’t really add any growth to our main cast. They’re all just nice people. I don’t feel any attachment to them outside main girl. I liked the scenes where they conversed with people with opposing opinions. In a situation like that you can’t afford to care for others.

You see main girl trying to help the elderly, but it backfires for her when they take advantage of her generosity. This clearly shows how she feels guilty for not helping her teammates.

8 episodes left, not sure if they’ve got enough story as I think they used the shock death a little too early. Hope they develop the main cast. Please stop with the shoehorning of English dialogue.

I fully agree. Even Kensuke Ushio's beautiful soundtrack fails to create any feeling for a one-dimensional character we had just met. He was a nice guy who dies stupidly, and that's it.

I hope the series manages to do something interesting with this tragedy, but it threw away the potential that a character could have to shock the audience. Too early.

Scenario:

An apparent survivalist comes across a long sturdy fence in the middle of the woods, what does he do?

A: Know not to go over it since the fence is obviously there for a reason.
B: Be suspicious and check for any sign of danger or importance about the fence (since there were plenty of signs on it).
C: Just jump over the fence no hesitation and dig half a mile to find a yam (yes that's just as dumb as it sounds)

I mean, really. That whole situation, while sad, is very hard to take seriously.

After WW2 Japan was left with tons of unexploded bombs, the main cause being U.S that bombarded Japan relentlessly. Europe is in a worse situation with 1.8 million bombs defused in Berlin alone after 1947 (wikipedia). This summer my dad found an old WW2 hand grenade from a cottage he was cleaning. The army came and took it and blew it up on their testing site.

Yeah, i'm aware of countless unexploded bombs in Europe and Germany in particular, but i did some research and when it comes to war in the pacific, only Okinawa is mentioned the most - it's said there are still many undiscovered bombs there. Mainland Japan was bombarded quite a lot as well, but i failed to find any info if there are places where bombs are supposedly hidden underground, but the government deals with this danger by simply putting signs and wires, instead of actually eliminating the threat. I also failed to find info about the whole 1965 incident mentioned in the anime and doubt that there are actually places in mainland Japan that has signs "beware there might be unexploded bombs beyond this point"

I heard it will get worse later - but up until now it was great. Only the English lines were annoying. Doesn't really fit. First I thought the mom was 2nd wife of the father and she was from US or so and the son just speaking English cause he wanted to be cool.

But this was too random. He speaks English random lines to everyone.

I hope the shut-in guy with his headphones up all the time ... will get important later.

I fully agree. The first episode was a bit worrying, but now it is becoming pretty terrible.
In which universe are people so happy to be in the middle of a disaster? There were not even worried about the water!

Not everyday that you see a mother push her son off a cliff in the middle of a natural disaster and a dad riding a boar.
Didn't expected that dark end there, really thought the dad would survive since he had a lot of survival skills.

Dad vs. boar would make it to TOP 10 anime fights.


Dad vs. landmine doesn't make it though.

LOL that's what exactly came to my mind, Final Destination. I loved the FD horror movie franchise and watched every single one because of the ridiculous death scenes. That last scene reminded me of that.

I got confused with the dead bodies falling out of nowhere in the last episode. I thought their family was going to fare better since the gamer son asked his Estonian gamer friend and told them to avoid going west. Now they're dad-less. He was the only one in the group who had the best survival skills. Gone. Poof. All because of his stupid vegan daughter who couldn't eat the fucking wild boar. Enjoy your yams, you selfish bitch!

The mom wanting to constantly take pictures at the most inappropriate times is annoying. Gamer son and his random English lines are also annoying. I'm still enjoying it. Gonna see who else dies in the upcoming episodes.

This is ridiculous. I love it! Not a single person is taking any of this seriously. Everyone is acting really dumb. The mom is a massive jerk. You scared, honey? Then let me push you head first down a cliff after throwing your bag over.

Helicopter nonsense is just glossed over. Off-screen firestorms alongside the return of the vanishing tsunami. People are immediately insisting it's all a conspiracy theory, but before they all march off to their deaths, let's take another family photo!

We miraculously found fresh water and assume it isn't infested with parasites, so naturally the first thing we do is stand in it with our dirty bodies and drink it. We would totally be able to taste the difference of course. And then we're going to slide down the river like a waterslide. Weeee! We don't need a raft. There aren't any sharp rocks or deep spots.

And then after the dad is almost gutted by a boar and thrown off a ledge, he managed to kill it with his pocket knife. But of course if the daughter's already wasted water, she'll naturally waste meat too because it's icky. And then we're going to leave money (something likely extremely valuable in certain areas) on a gravesite while ignoring all of the signs around this heavily fortified area. Why is the mine so deep? Why does the date match up more closely with Vietnam than WW2? Why would you grow a crop where you clearly can't harvest it as opposed to regular trees? Don't think about it.

All that's important is that the one useful person is dead. Who's next? I personally hope the mom tries to drown the son. "FINGERS CROSSED!". That's right, I took my English lessons today, mom! *Gurgling*
