(L) Sankarea (TV)

Spoiler for ep. 8:

It's been quite a while since I despised the use of a side character quite as much as Yasutaka, who pretty much appears out of thin air as a plot device to circumvent the unlikeliness of masked men being able to kidnap a teenage girl in the middle of a Japanese shopping center.

For a guy with so much success, Sanka father's planning seems to lack sophistication. I was thinking he'd just threaten to buy the Furuya shrine and bulldoze it to guilt Rea into going back or something.

I LOLd so hard at Mero's two friends checking each other out at the sento as they were undressing.

Looks like we may finally get a Mero-centric episode next week - I hope so. I like her character way more than I should based on screen time.

[ogon_bat]

You were right Lord of Fire, that was a nice display of super-strength, although Rea is so nice and inoccent that none of the bums (I include Yasutaka) received what they so richly deserved >_<

We are already at ep 8? Man, this series deserves a second season

[Chaos2Frozen]

Chihiro and Rea are in the running for best couple of Spring after this day-to episode

Well I'm not that unreasonable, I'll settle for a good clock to his face... Not that pansy scratch that other guy gave him.

Kinda strange that the preview for Episode 9 doesn't seem to include Furuya's... Current Predicament.

Actually, given what we know about Rea, staging a kidnapping at a place that would work pretty well. The brazenness would catch most everyone off-guard and you could be out of there before anyone really reacts. Also this was in a town away from their current location, so identifying the kidnappers would be much more difficult.

Though I do agree that the bulldozer idea would probably have worked better. But I also have a feeling that Grandpa probably knew Rea's grandmother or grand-aunt. I think that's who Sada will end up being. It'll add an interesting element later. But he showed no limitation on attacking the family of one of her previous friends, so there has to be a reason he didn't go straight after the family.

[GenjiChan]

With Rea's current strength, I wonder how her Father will force her to return back to him... unless black mail... Quite a funny episode for me.

[ookamigirl]

Yay! We're back to Rea and undead diary.
Furuya was acting like a total perv with that video camera.
Those suspicious looking guys who tried to kidnap Rea were in for a surprise.
I'm totally glad she has super strength.
Poor Furuya, hope Rea saves him fast from her crazy father.

[TurkeyPotPie]

Rea was more interesting before being zombified. In episode 8 she was just a straight up moeblob.

Doesn't Furuya's family find it odd that Rea is eating hydrangea leaves? Or did I miss that they know she is a zombie?

Rea is happy, happy people are boring, that is why soap operas end when the MC finally attain happines (after 100+ episodes of being plain miserable) or if the sopa opera has no real ending, they are killed in an accident and new MC are introduced.

The father is a buddist monk, his son loves horror flicks since 5 and his daughter sleeps in the same kind of cloths people were buried in (before cremation become a common practice) japan. I think he concluded many years ago "I cannot understand this new generation". So if his son gets pregnant the most rich girl in town and she eats leaves for breakfast his conclusion seems to be "let them do their thing, as long as they are happy I am happy".

[Malkuth]

I agree that zombie Rea is pretty boring, and can not even compare to appeal with Wanko... at least the creepy incestuous pedo-dad is back to force some angsty charm into his spoiled (otherwise) daughter

If it wasn't for Wanko's sexual frustration, pedo-dad LULZ and Shinbou/Ounuma-wannabe direction, I would have already dropped this one

[Scarletknive]

Did anyone notice the meikyou shishui words in the episode? What he is gonna do? Go golden mode?

It is not pedo-dad, it is pedobear.(VA wise, panda of the Russia, and pandas are part of bear family.)

[Kaoru Chujo]

Personally, I could do without Sanka papa reappearing. I could also do without Furuya acting exactly like him with the repulsive constant video-ing.

I don't find Rea boring here because I am identifying with her. She is in the most interesting and difficult situation of all of them.

[Kismet-chan]

It's natural for some people to be feeling as they do. Rea is happy for the time being. If a character becomes happy, it's due to a lack of conflict, and conflict is what makes stories intriguing. The conflict that was present when she was alive was at that of a much higher level than anything that's going on right now, so I can understand why she seems less interesting now to some. The anime won't be getting too far into things with there being such a tiny amount of episodes left, but I can assure you that things got a lot more interesting later on in the manga -- the new conflict is even more engaging than the initial conflict, imo.

And I agree that Rea's dad was certainly not a character I missed...

[margafred]

I've been dead for quite some time here, and now here i am again, being revived by this series as a zombie forumer hehe.

Must say, Sankarea is a good series with nice, not-rushed pace. Love how the stories went with each episode. This is one zombie series that is not about apocalypse, but about the intertwining circumstances between each character, and as the series progresses, so do the storyline that revive back my love for anime.

I don't feel the need to comment each episode, like i did before, coz i believed that everyone else that love this series as much as i do shares the same positive things about this series. Just coming back to show my support for Sankarea, and if only there is a "like" button in here, i'll surely give this a hundred likes.

There's a major difference, though: Furuya bought her a gift to make her free.

Yeah, you can tell the video isn't just his way of studying her so he can preserve her. But at least he is thinking of her wants, of her happiness.

[Rayrah]

Episode 8: dat butt.

I'd love to see Rea clobber her father with that bench. Mhm.

[Korps!]

Yeah, as in slow paced. Still not sluggish.

But right now the initial drive is starting to lose momentum.

[Endless Soul]

Are the dots on pedo-dad's forehead ever explained? Are they there just for looks?

I thought the intro was rather creepy, the changing night scenes with the blood dripping. Also, I really hope Zed-Rea tears into pedo-dad.
