(L) Sankarea (TV)

[Chaos2Frozen]

^
That's the one thing I still can't wrap my head around- the majority fan support for either the Sweet Girl or the Genki Girl seems to switch sides depending on the weather...

[mangatron]

Well, Wanko and Aria have my full support I'm uncertain what their screen time will be from now on, but... if they end up unhappy, I'm always available

There's another thing I noticed though, most of the Megami/Nyantype have been Rea'ized, what gives? I know this series is Sankarea, but there could have at least been one with Aria-sama too, like a family portrait

I didn't... she did Trying to seduce her adopted daughters romantic interesting, as well as off-camera have fun at a host bar. Hardly proof of (rightfully) NTRing her creepy husband, but among us adults we know very well that when kids are watching we still have to imply this and that thing

Spoiler for last episode and final thoughts:

Last episode:
Not much happened. Rather, nothing?
The end was weird too.
And I wish they actually showed Rea going to school once.


But all in all, it was one of the better anime this season. It feels like it gets harder and harder to find a good anime to watch that doesn't have "Look, otaku bait!" written all over its face. *looks at very end's commercial for following anime" Like this... Ueeh...

I liked the Dad. But he doesn't have the physical appearance for me to have him as an avatar.

If there was two criticisms, one would be that since the manga hasn't ended, it is left pretty open, and another is that while the story tries to use Rea's zombie setting, it both contradicts itself at times (like the skin and blushing) and the use is a bit half-hearted.
Then again, it is not like scientists write these things, so you can't expect them to cover everything. Maybe.

OP had a great song.
The singer? (´･д･｀)...........................

9/10

Just a quick note about rea-zombie as far as manga (no real spoiler)

Spoiler for light spoil:

Her status as a zombie starts becoming something much more important in the story pretty much right after this, which is why i was sad to hear it was only 12 eps, though I suppose the manga needs more time still. I liked it much more after this arc ended)

The interesting thing about Sakarea is that even if the material later on are arguably the true focus of the story (well, along side the Romance), the first season is done so well that, unlike some other animes, I'd think the first season by itself is very strong, even if indeed, the closing scenes of Episode 12 implies the direction of the plot very strongly.

[Guardian Enzo]

I haven't read the manga but Jogorou shouting "Salt!" randomly and charging at Rea sure felt like a clue to me...

Episode 12

That was a really weird way of ending a series
The last few episodes had much slower pace with not much events happening. Liked the part where Wanko outright said she liked Chihiro to Rea and also in the process helped her giving confidence to do as much as possible in the time she has left. The art and lighting have been stunning throughout the series. The little fireworks scene was nice and then shots like this at the end.

That ending however pretty much confirms a second season. Just need to wait for an official announcement

lol @serenade_beta for liking whack-jobs

[D-KLAC]

In the finale episode

Days have past since Rea's dad let them go all good as usual oh fireworks event rea like to see. Cat hair boy bit worry keep rea safe and her body well all time. Then mero appear why rea keep in house give rea want go out more? Next day rain come no fireworks so next day here Wanko oh do home fireworks party.

Rea swept & broke boom here cat hair boy arrive do home fireworks with Wanko. Then Wanko arrive during which alone time and talking with Rea about Cat hair boy, zombie life, and rest. So home fireworks doing well with Babu goes down from sprial fireworks.

Next day rea arrive home get her stuff so she can go school and brief talk with step-mom. Rea & cat hair boy doing wonder to do then here come zombie bite kiss.

Indeed series quite good of sorts give likely a season 2 might happen and also looking forward to dub on it.

[ookamigirl]

Life is back to "normal" as mush as it can be in her state.
Rea seems to be longing for the normal school life days a bit.
Their small fireworks festival was really nice ^^
So she got her wish to attend school again, Furuya sure is lenient towards her.
That attack/kiss was something I half expected, but maybe not that aggressive.
This sure was a relaxed final episode.

That's good news.
But unfortunately, until the yen-dollar conversion rate settles down, I can't import it from Amazon... (´・ω・｀)

That's why there was another cute maid in the army correcting such misinterpretations

[FredFriendly]

Well, after it's all over and done with, really, the only thing I gotta say is that I think that Wanko is the most under-appreciated character in this anime, not only by the audience at large, but particularly by cat-boy. She's definitely my favorite character in the anime, and feels so much more alive than anyone else. The only other person in the anime that even comes close to having as much character as her is Sanka-dad (the scale does swing both ways). Cat-boy, sister, Buddha-dad, and Rea, they all seem so bland and lifeless. Crazy Grampa, when the moments prevail, shows more liveliness than all of them put together, and even Sanka-step-mom has more character, and shows more emotion.

I doubt I'll be watching this anime again, though I will probably sit through a second season, if there is one, and I will suffer through at least one more chapter of the manga after an English version is available. My predominant reason for watching or reading won't be the title character, or the not so bright cat-boy, but will be so that I might get to see Wanko in action again.

[jwai]

What are the odds that the real issue won't be that Rea's body is decaying, but rather she keeps losing it and tries to mangle people? That last scene seemed a bit worrying...

The number one problem for Rea is the issue of her body decaying. Really, if her flesh turns green and starts flaking off, and she starts stinkin' up the house, will cat-boy really still be interested in her? However, if she were to lose it and try to feast on people (other than cat-boy), that would be a problem, not for her, but for everyone else. A zombie not wanting to feast on human flesh would be something akin to a lion not wanting to feast on antelopes or gazelles, but munch on scrub grass instead, like she does with hydrangea leaves. At least that's what we have been led to believe by popular legends (zombies don't exist in the real world).

In total agreement. Especially both MCs try to have a cake and eat it, too.

This!

On the other hand, a large part of Wanko's charm is that she is the third wheel

[Kyosuke Magami]

Seems pretty obvious from the ending that they're anticipating a second season. I know it's anyone's guess right now, but when is the next season likely to air? I don't know much about TV schedules across the Pacific...
