But unfortunately, instead of ending at "that" point it seems the anime probably wouldn't get there or if they got there it would be very rushed.

The horror when I saw swimsuits in the preview, there gonna stretch this out forever are they?

I guess for anime only viewers nothing is lost, but for manga readers, I'm just a bit sad for all the potential which might be lost.

This episode was frustrating for me too and down right pissed me off with the preview. I can only hope they are doing this with the plan for a second season.

Finally catched up to Ep8.

Spoiler for Episode 6 reveal:

Well, as many of us thought, Megu-nee is dead.
That's one hell of a trauma, Yuki.

A good twist would have been Megu-nee thinking she's Yuki and seeing herself as such...
Losing her student would have been so traumatic for her that she cast her real self away (but not entirely) and play the role of Yuki. That would have explained how "Yuki" is able to attend class, Megu-nee knowledge being "release" in this setting.

Too much fillers.... D:

It seems that the anime is a bit more fluffy/ dramaish than the manga. Which was bit more dark, and let's just say mature. It was seinen after all if I remember correct

I like all of the undertoning of the anime through, the OP and ED especially.

Ikr! That one is just fantastic, still makes me laugh whenever I watch it. That "Okari" when that zombie raises from the grave gets me everytime. xD

It was pretty suspicious that a school had things like solar panels and it's own water purifier. Turns out the zombies are the result of a biological weapon and the school was designed to help survivors.

Well, Kurumi takes that shovel everywhere, bed, bath, eating room. It's never far from her. Teasing her that she loves it - I'd do that too.^^

Everybody who reads the manga knows though that Kurumiki is the OTP. :P

Maybe they thought that the remaining stuff of the manga for the ending point would not be enough to cover 5 episodes on their own. Plus the anime goes for a more moe approach than the manga which was more "to your face" with the horror.

As for Taromarou, given the "Taromarou of the dead" book at the preview for next episode, I guess we will get the whole pool thing because Yuki noticed the other girls being all tense due what they found out and during or after it Taromarou somehow gets bitten which throws the whole happy moe moment into chaos. At least I think they are wasting so much time on Taromarou so that we will feel more for his death or better for the girls when he dies or turns or both.

Just having the school like this only makes sense if the school authorities were involved with the zombie apocalypse.

Because of these things, I wouldn't be surprised if the school had a secret Umbrella lab in the basement where the virus was actually made.

I doubt the school is the only zombie shelter in the city. The outbreak happened outside of school first after all given the videos from the Megu-nee flashback episode. It is possible though that several such labs could exist nearby such shelters for the scientists and guards and other people involved in such a "zombie virus" project.

Given that the shelter wasn't used by our heroines means the whole disaster preventation plan was a disaster itself as people died too quickly to respond to where they could get to safety. Though I doubt many people knew about such shelters anyway given the mannuals constractions when to be opened.

I found Megu-nee's scribblings in her book in the preview pretty sad. Writing down your last thoughts as your mind crumbles and your body slowly gives in to the virus must be terrible. The whole "Love" and "hunger" and then the names of Yuki, Rii and Kurumi reminded me of that Rea Zombie girl where zombies desire to eat who they love. Since the zombies follow parts of their memories I could see them wanting to eat their loved ones the most.

Hmm, I could be wrong, but I feel the biggest significance of the world setting could lies with how it will be affecting the girls after they know the truth. In the way that last line "A kind and sympathetic heart is no longer a virtue" resonated heavily and Kurumi banging the table in anger, I think the truth will slowly crush the girls as the series progress. Idk if that eventually meant they took the time to give the world a setting and then choose to make light of it, maybe the show can find a happy medium to push and expand on the world view, but imo we definitely would see it partake strongly in the psychology drama surrounding the girls which anyway seems to be one of the show's true calling.

Ep 08

Well then ... after the reveal of Megu-nee in a zombified state at present and the zombie outbreak being related to some kind of biochemical weapon and such like things definitely appear ... grim. Yeesh.

Still, am continuing to enjoy the series. I especially liked the glimpses we were given in Yuri this episode.

Soo........this week:

Episode 9:

Well, it was fun in the sun but I think we can all easily guess who this might be at the end right?

Spoiler:

Can't wait for next time.

[Hmm....]

Swimming pool episode is fun and all. But ending of this episode make me worry........ Nothing happen this week as well.
Will they have enough time to wrap all things up ? lol

[White Manju Bun]

That end...

[eceso]

Probably one of my favorites shows this season, came into this blind with no knowledge of the source material

The end just screams megu nee and shovel kun are gonna meet soon

I did really enjoy that little scene of reconciliation with Taroumaru and Miki. A big thing that turned the ignoring of Miki from comical to a bit sad was that flashback. In a sense you could say that Kei helped bring those two back together. That trio spent a lot of time together in that mall so it's nice that the two that are still together are finally no longer distanced. Big props to Taroumaru for letting what happened go.

Though now I'm a bit worried about him with that ending scene. Running into the zombie Megu-nee. I'm sure he can outrun a zombie, but still....hopefully doesn't run into too much danger there.

A fun episode where the cast kind of needed it. Plus now they have another place to investigate. If that place functioned as a kind of bomb shelter it's possible....well at least there's a possibility they can find additional supplies and maybe a secure area they can enjoy.

Friends and I were discussing if he doesn't how the OP would change and most agreed that it would simply show the bowl and collar...no dog.

Spoiler for Spoiler for ED:

Anyone notice that it's just Taroumaru walking instead of all four girls?

I physically yelled when they showed her.

[Hmm....]

I just went back and watch the ED again and uh oh....

Spoiler for ED:

There is another big change other than Taroumaru in ED

[James Rye]

I expected Dog to die this episode. Like I was waiting for it to happen aaany minute each minute of this episode. Dog is still alive at the end of this episode. Man, such a disappointment...

Which is why I still got hopes, although this clearly shows lots of manga stuff will have to be cut out for this series ending. You are talking about this scene, aren't ya?

Spoiler:

This is my last tinest bit of hope for this series to go back on its true path! >.<

[Draco Spirit]

Clearly the light before the dark episode.

A interesting thought on zombie Megu-nee. We know the zombies in this show like haunting the places that they spent a lot of time in while alive.... and shes in the basement.

[Yamada II]

Episode 9
Well, not much happened here. Mostly them fooling around and stuff. They came to the obvious conclusion that this bio weapon stuff was expected. The interesting bits were the inu suddenly running off after sensing something, howling and getting a reply from somewhere, and, of course, zombie Megu-nee roaming in the basement where the escape route is supposed to be. Now to see what happens when they reunite. Will Takeya come back to reality or not after seeing Megu-nee in this state? I hope so.

[Wandering Soul]

It was nice to see Taroumaru and Miki finally able to interact without him running away. Losing Kei hit them both pretty hard. Props to Taroumaru for letting go of the past and finally reconciling with Miki.

Zombie Megu-nee has appeared but I'm sure that Taroumaru can outrun her. Though I have to wonder how Megu-nee got all the way down there when we last saw her locked on the roof.

[Silverwyrm]

Yay megu-nee is back
