the MC is such a good loveable guy, but the two characters so far are not anything special.
the animation is so beautiful!
I have always had a soft spot for those type of tropes (bucket lists before you die though the problem is life is painfully long so most of us just can´t live as if we were living our last days because we simply aren´t, damn.)

Super interesting second episode. New female lead (Shizuka) is giving me Usagi vibes from Alice in Borderland. The colour and music (Opening and ending theme are fire)

The OP for this anime is nice, i really dig it.

Akira cleans his house for years worth, even throwing trash bags at the zombies haha. He then drinks his well deserved beer but when he wants more he sees that he's out of beer. Akira then meets with Kosaka and his wife, i think? Akira is on his way to the convenience store to buy some beer but he asks if the Kosaka's also want something and they tell him what is needed.

He then arrives at the store but its watched by a camera on a bike. He then sings his beer song lol but when he is at the fridge for the beer he comes across a girl that is also there, a survivor. We then first see the Shizuka character, she is there for some groceries as well and other things. Akira then wants to ask the girls contact info but when he wants to protect her from the upcoming zombies, a car with a zombie is on the way to the store and when its about to approach, Shizuka saves him.

That upgrade Akira got with that bike was neat though lol. Akira writes up his first 31 things in his 100 list. The spotlight then gets turned to Shizuka and she even sports when there's a zombie break, nice. Shizuka gathers intel on the zombies and see needs some supplies and when arriving at the store, she finds mochi but decides not to take it and then she sees on her tablet that Akira is approaching the store and that's how the things unfold. Shizuka then wonders how someone can be happy over beer and she wished that she took that mochi.

I think this was outsourced to SHAFT, although I think SHAFT are more involved with this project than I realized relatively speaking.

Lmao did she seriously say "make sense" in a Japanese accent? Dogen was right, the Japanese language is dead. Anyway looks like we'll eventually end up in a group of 4 idiots based on the ending. Our two others are gonna be hyper sexual gods with homies 8 pack of abs and misses with the G cups.

I like how they contrasted the 100 things I wanna do before I become a zombie with 100 things to do to not become a zombie.

Great animation. Sound was good too.

The POV change was a nice touch. Hope each character's personality get developed with future interactions, especially the male lead.

Kinda forgot how the opening sounded like, need to listen to it again. But i don't remember disliking it. Ending was nice, especially the mood/style change at the chorus.

The different priority of the lists was funny (bucket list vs survival).

I understood and shared his sentiment last week, but this week he's just an idiot.  He went to the konbini for biru. He never even thought to pick up at least 1 bottle of water or any food/snacks. Even an alcie would pick up chips or something to go with the beer.  WTF?!

Checking on his family was pretty far down the page.

Another great episode! The sound design stood out to me in particular: the abrupt cutting of music in certain scenes really enhances the comedic value of the atmosphere changes, haha.

I love the parallel between the bucket lists of Akira and Shizuka. Their fundamental difference in character and the way they also both learned an useful lesson from each other truly makes one think about how life can be used and valued in such different ways. The former has a hedonistic, opportunist tone focusing on the things he wants to experience before his eventual death whereas the latter is prioritizing survival as an intrinsic value by keeping track of obligations to avoid death and essentially just putting off the inevitable for the slim chance of one day being able to return to the world as it used to be. Even in this world where a zombie apocalypse isn't an acute concern, there are people who exist to live and others who merely survive in hopes of some kind of rescue – not everyone can bring themselves to seize the day and grab the mochi, but everyone knows how the regret of not doing it feels like.

I'm already looking forward to meeting the rest of our main cast. The ending makes them look so charming!

Episode was just ok imo. Nothing really big happened. ik mc treating it like a vacation but still kinda seemed dumb for his first thing to do (besides cleaning) was to get drunk. If I were to nitpick more, Id say the go see parents and where the two characters are staying doesnt show much foresight. I would figure it'd be better to relocate to a remote area than stay in a crowded city with zombies, and one that's closer to the ground as well. I figure the parents probably live in a more rural area but I feel like Akira just expects them to be alive and doesnt really consider they could be zombies now.

I know this anime is not meant to take seriously, but honestly i just cant ignore a lot of irrationality of this show.

1. If mc doesn't need money to survive, why did he chose to work in that company to begin with? He can basically choose not to go to the company and just clean his house. With his capability I bet he can survive regardless.
2. How does zombies conveniently left his apartment alone and just wondering downstair, when we are shown in ep 1 that those zombie are extremely aggressive and fast?
3. Do mc's superhuman capability explained ? Why everyone that're more fit than him died and him a rugby player who hasn't do any sport for 3 years able to do all these actions and survive?
4. How does his refrigerator still work ? All electricity should have get cut off from the city already.

I just hope ppl who watch this show dont take the point of view of mc serious and think zombie apocalypse is a paradise or something.
Guess i just cant take irrational setting in a show's worldbuilding, considering this anime is not even comedy. 
As you just said, it's not really meant to be taken seriously. We are talking about a story where (manga spoiler)

For the third point, Akira still has a sport background, even if he didn't practice for three years. But more important, he is goddam lucky.

For the fourh point, it's not rare in a zombie story to have power supply that continues for some days after the collapse of the society. Maybe there is a power plant outside Tokyo which hasn't been reached by the zombies yet. Maybe their are some emergency generators that are giving a little bit of energy. Even if the available power is minimal, the overall power consumption has dropped anyway, so it's enough to supply the few survivors until those last sources of energy no longer work. I have seen that trope in other zombie stories so I'm ready to accept it.

What drops me out a little bit however is the upgrade of the upgrade of Akira's bicycle. A Harley Davidson may have a good engine, it's noisy as hell and offer little to no protection against a zombie swarm. It's definitely among the worst vehicle possible during a zombie apocalypse.

So different conflicting views on how to approach things. I assume they will eventually start influencing eachother and it will be a balance between the two mindsets maybe.

Another great episode! Loved seeing Akira take it easy for a change, but it finally addressed the elephant in the room, how to survive. Looks like thanks to his hellish job, the apocalypse is still no big deal.

The new girl is really cute, but the whole emotionless and serious personality is just eh for me. But I do think she'll be a good counterbalance to Akira's more happy go lucky attitude about the whole situation. I wonder how they'll see each other again?

Was sad to see that the couple likely died.
