So far they haven't skipped out on any part of the story, so I don't see the reason for this complaint just yet.

I don't like the voice work of Inoue Marina (Rei) and Kitamura Eri (Takagi) -- just shouting. Even the great voice of Sawashiro Miyuki seems wasted, since the character is so plastic and fanservicey (in the general sense), like a caricature of the perfect knight. The otaku character is also such a pandering to the audience, as is the health teacher. And Rei and Takashi seemed so relaxed as the zombies were shaking their rickety barrier on the roof.

Hopefully, the story will kick in and I can enjoy the quest outside the school. The nailgun was okay -- although Hirano wasn't working fast enough to actually get it finished in time. It all just seems like symbols of things, rather than the things themselves.

But it's hard to argue with 1500 posts here and 16,000 already on 2channel. There must be something here, for so many people to like the show.

They got used to the zombies already, but the screaming is a bit much. I do hope they don't do it as much or get chances to talk normally so you can enjoy their voice acting more.

And this is popular because of zombies. Zombies are instant win, even if every part of the manga, novel, movie, anime, or whatever is fail.

Another thing that makes more sense in Japan...bra sizes.

Oh really? I thought she had a thing for the otaku kid. A love triangle certainly would make things interesting, although I think she has no chance.

Unlikely. An accidental outbreak would have originated from just one location. You wouldn't have seen so many calls to the police that the emergency lines would be busy because only a small number of people would have been affected at first. The Police would have also in general have been able to respond to these calls. A horde in that stage would have been very small relatively speaking and likely would not have that great of a numerical advantage when the cops started converging on them.

Zombie outbreaks happening everywhere simultaneously suggests some kind of intentional spreading of the virus over a large area.

Hey there will be plenty to go around i can think of 4 scenes off the top of my head if they are animated.

@Roger Rambo you might want to delete that spoiler. I know its just a small one but that part has not been stated in the anime yet. Just to be safe since the mods are really gun ho about spoilers.

[Wrath88]

Especially since Saintess got his 1 day ban already. Geez, 5+ pages jump in the 1 day I wasn't looking, because of:

-Saya/Kohta team
-Boin Boing Sensei
-Saeko

Can't wait for the next ep.

The boin boin sound with Shizuka annoyed me a little.

[KiNA]

I played that scene thrice.. before continuing the episode.. so funny .. *boing boing boing shake shake*

[Keitava]

The entire boing-boing thing with the teacher pisses me off at some times. I know anime doesn't ever, EVER respect gravity but... Fuck, man. Can't producers at least make some kind of effort? The series, at this point, won't be worse 'cause of this, but... ya'll know.

So far, my favorite characters are the pink-haired girl and the chubby guy. I don't quite like the orange-haired and Shizuka pisses me off, as I said. The sword-girl... She's nice, but I don't have some kind of solid opinion on her yet.

As a ton of people must have said before, the excessive fanservice kind of cuts the thing of the anime, but we'll all get used to it, I guess. Second episode was more enjoyable than the first one, IMO.

It's going to embarrass me. I suggested this series to my friends who aren't into anime as much, they are definitely going to pick fun at me liking something with boing sound effects.

I actually enjoyed the first one more. There was more character drama and the ending was awesome. Don't get me wrong, I still liked the second episode.

I always thought that they were just... compensating, just like how some people in anglo-saxon countries measures their member in centimeters instead of inches. *whistles*

[NorthernFallout]

So, ep2 provided godly entertainment. Really, really like how this adaption is going.

Kohta was bloody awesome, as he should be. Don't think they could have portrayed him much better. Also, really liking the choice of VA for Saya and Saeko. Two of my favs even.

As for the boinboin... Much less annoying than I expected after reading here. Integrating it with her character and just letting it move along without paying attention to it was no problem (and it made me lmao because then it was even funnier.)

I don't think so because it would still be spreading from one singular point and there is no way it could have traveled across the country in a 12 hour period especially with a lack of an incubation period.

[FlareKnight]

Definitely wonder what is the source of all of this. The widespread nature makes you think it was something intentional. Something accidental or some natural virus mutation would be focused more on one point.

If I were to guess at this point in time, I would suspect that the real cause be a result of...

Spoiler:

BP contaminated seafood.

[Decagon]

Not sure why people are complaining about fanservice trumping story in this anime adaptation, especially considering the manga was illustrated by an artist well known for his big breast doujinshi. Also, if you've read what manga that was published there isn't much in the way of story to mess up anyway.

Are zombie fanatics upset this series isn't just about zombies or what? You should know better when you see something coming out of Japan.

I think that the manga work on the Michael Bay effect, with guns instead of explosions to make you swallow the boobage.

It has nothing to do with compensation. It's more logical to continue the alphabet instead of adding a second letter. And they don't compensate using centimeters. Centimeters is used because that's how they measure length. Only three countries in the world use inches, the US and two little ones I can't remember the names of.

I hope it's not like in Resident Evil. An accidental infection from someone playing in their basement laboratory is more fun. But then again, without a company making the virus the hope of an antivirus of some sort is null. Not that any zombie apocalypse has hope of recovery. It's get the clean people who can mate to some remote area of the world and live the rest of your lives.
