Back in the summer preview thread, this anime seemed to be getting a lot of attention (I didn't realize so many people knew of this before... or maybe they didn't and the preview caught their eye) so I figured I'd start a topic on it now that there are 2 episodes out.

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.

What!?!?!?! you didn't like Kohta? I love Kohta probably my favorite character lol. Although I'd rather have more seasons that just keeps up with the manga.

[krisk]

why did you censor the word 'breast'?

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.

Been keeping up with the manga and I was satisfied with the first episode. Quite a dilemma about the 13 episode cap though, probably going to be an open ended type.

[SageNaru]

Anyone got a link to a streaming site so I can watch the first episode?

[Muffins?]

animeseason.com for all your anime watching needs if you look on the left there should be a bar with ongoing animes on it's in there for quick access.

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.

Takashi really failed as the "leader" of their group this chapter. Pretty much let Kohta do whatever he wanted (without even trying to step in) and stood their dazed as "they" crept up on the group.

And is it just me? Or is keeping a mentally unstable member in your group during a zombie apocalypse not a good idea? Well, their entire group has something wrong in head so I guess it's not all too bad.

Finally, the Kohta/Saya relationship they've been developing disturbs me. Especially since the transition of her affection from Takashi to Kohta was kind of sudden (I'm still not sure where/how it exactly happened).

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.

Episode 4 is out!

There was a bit to many flash backs in this episode for me, it took up a lot of the episode.

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.

[TheBugNinja]

the problem is theyre trying to limit the anime episodes to cover one manga chapter each, and some of the chapters dont provide enough action to cover 22 minutes of animation.

[KungFuTruffle]

Four episodes in, and it's already having 11 minute recaps. This... does not bode well.

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

[Lid]

The only thing that worries me about having major flashbacks is that this is still just a 13 episode series, unless they put out a second season, they might be wasting a bit of time with the flashbacks.

[Unknown Entity]

Has anyone else noticed that they're changing the ending theme every episode? I just thought that was cool...

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.

I seen this on the summer preview and thought it looks awsome. Sadly haven't seen the episodes yet. Very little resources.
