In a trash-filled apartment, 24-year-old Akira Tendo watches a zombie movie with lifeless, envious eyes. After spending three hard years at an exploitative corporation in Japan, his spirit is broken. He can't even muster the coursage to confess his feelings to his beautiful co-worker Ohtori. Then one morning, he stumbles upon his landlord eating lunch—which happens to be another tenant! The whole city's swarming with zombies, and even though he's running for his life, Akira has never felt more alive! (Source: VIZ Media)

Of all the anime adaptations I thought would create some sort of argument, Zom100 was definitely on the bottom of the list lol
It's a very good manga and the PV seems really nice, I'm looking forward to it!

was fun adventure survival "discover new thing" for the first 2 volume, but then spiraled back to edgy "humanity is the real evil" stuff after and haven't touch since. good for fans but i wouldn't touch it.

This looks like it'll be a fun watch, looking forward to checking it out.

And yes, while I know I didn't read the ending, I can at least say that I enjoyed what I've read of the manga so far... is it that weird to think that? I should just shut up on everything I never finished? If I didn't like what I've seen but I never finished it, I should just... never share my opinion? Damn. That's sad.
Also, cool to see we are the same when it comes to not liking getting told what to do by randos.
Let's try to keep it civil now, that thread derailed enough already.
You are right, sorry that I don't know such expression. Ok, I agree, my apologies then if I wrote anything bad to you.

Yes, usually I am very positive man, simply I don't like when strangers teach me what to do. You haven't completed Alice so you don't know the ending. What a nonsence you wrote... I live in real life, thanks for your concern. I am shocked that you wrote such absurd things about me and my family. Note that I haven't wrote ANYTHING about you or your family. Your behavior towards me, stranger, is innappropriate. And you call yourself MAL team. You should be ashamed for your behavior here.
Alright alright alright, the Did that manga kill your family or something was just an expression, my bad I didn't think you'd take that very seriously. That's my bad on my part, English isn't my first language and while I usually do alright, I do make some poor word choices sometimes. I'm sorry on that front.Yes, usually I am very positive man, simply I don't like when strangers teach me what to do. You haven't completed Alice so you don't know the ending.

First of all: Funny you say 'he can decide for himself' when you also tried to sway him by telling him to not try Zom 100. If you can give your opinion on it, so can I. (Also I still said he should also try Alice, just that he shouldn't skip on Zom too)
Second: What do you mean Don't write on a topic I have no knowledge? It's not like I know absolutely nothing about Zom or Alice in borderlands, I've read 8 - 9 volumes of AIB and I've read a volume of Zom. Sure, I didn't "finish" or kept up with them but at least I can give an opinion on what I've read so far. (I've never claimed I knew everything in my previous comment lmao)
Ngl it's the first time I'm seeing you so worked up over a manga getting an anime, you're usually pretty positive (even when something looks garbage frankly). Did that manga kill your family or something? jesus...
Anyway, that was it on my part I'm not answering again.

Great. Instead Alice in Borderland getting an appropriate TV anime adaptation we receive this. How can the author of such masterpiece write such "work". I am shocked.
