It seems it was hyped up to oblivion before its release across the otaku realm (the combination of zombies, gigantic breasts, and fanservice galore is just too much for an otaku to handle), and I think it did a pretty good job delivering as best it could. Madhouse's animation has been superb and consistent. They've also done well to effectively portray the atmosphere of a zombie outbreak. Nothing to really complain about the studio in charge except for maybe how they cut a few scenes from the first episode that I think really helped to develop the relationship between Takashi and Rei. But they only have 12-13 episodes to work with, so there's no avoiding them having to cut stuff.
I'm just wondering what they'll do for the ending. Since the manga isn't anywhere close to finishing, and they only have that 13 episode limit, it's either going to be an anime-original ending or stopping at a certain point and leaving it open-ended.
I'm actually hoping they'll be able to pull off a decent anime-original ending.
I also didn't like Kohta's character in the manga, but his voice actor (Nobuyuki Hiyama) might just win me over.

He's bad-ass when he's in gun-otaku mode, otherwise he's a wuss and annoying (IMO).
I'm expecting more hiatuses, so I don't think the manga will be finished for at least a few more years (if it finishes at all). I would like to see another season, but I would also like to see a conclusion since I don't expect to be getting one from the manga any time soon.
I didn't. A mod must have done so.

Thank you. Needed my Zombie fix. Poor Kohta.

When did onemanga stop including the mature manga in their recent updates tab? I swear I remember seeing Sekirei (another 1000manga hosted manga) when it was last updated.

Implying there is a relationship, I mean they were trying to build something maybe and then that police girl showed up and derailed it all.
Oh and they stopped it about a week ago. It looks like they finally got it all transitioned over.

Agreed though I did like the scene where it just went through shots of the abandoned city with the music playing and Takashi's narration. It felt nice and melancholic like a zombie anime should.

Also, what is with Japan and attempted rape? It's in, like, everything.

I didn't mind the flashback bits of the episode 4 since I think it was pretty well done, but it's true I found it awkward considering we're only 4 episodes in and this is only a 12 episode series.
