I think that more goes to show how this show came out of the left field. Surely we'll see a lot more considering the extreme fanservice this show already has.

[kenjiharima]

It'll pick up when the time comes. Fanart and others will surely follow.

Anyways from the get going I want a VIDEO GAME of this! Even if it's Japanese I'll buy it!

Pretty much it, bloke.

I can think of new shows that deserve such discussion a lot more then this show, i mean sure there can be those threads, though i really don't see that much talk going on. Whatever there is, can easily be done here.

Either way it looks like it'll get one, so shrug.

Blasphemy, mate!

In two days the topic has grown by twenty pages. I think that's a lot, no?

On your bike!

Most of the posts since the show has aired have been either "oh wow i love this show", or "fanservice is a big put off".

Unless he actually already finished it, if so I really need to hurry up with my reading/staring/ogling.

Where did you hear that? It doesn't seem like the manga is going to end any time soon, especially considering the sporadic releases these last few months (years...). I'm fully expecting an original ending for the anime, it wouldn't be the first time Madhouse pull that off.

[SuperKnuckles]

Well, considering the continuity isn't as strict as it's like in Claymore (DAMN YOU MADHOUSE), I don't think it's going to be that bad if they did an anime original. Unless somehow the manga does a shocking ending in which people will go crazy if that is the case. Blame the mangaka for sporadic releases.

I'm not sure where I heard it but the rumor mill went around that when the anime series was announced, the mangaka was supposedly planning to go and finish the series as well, which suggested that it would be possible for the manga to have an actual ending for the anime to end with.

I'm still confused as to why the teacher grabbed the guy in the first place.

Yeah he couldn't see he was dead, but why did he need to grab him? Show of stregnth or something to scare him off? That and why is it in Zombie things they never like to actually call them the undead although that's what they are.

That and why did that female teacher sit so close after she saw he was inevitably dead, I mean all that blood was ridiculous. Surely she would of left him alone and the other teacher had a weapon of some sorts, why didn't he hit the guy when he bit the woman?

I'm not complaining but it would seem the infection in the school could of been quelled for a short amount of time until Zombies over ran the gate. Kind of like how they keep the School in Persona 1 safe by just never opening the gate. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that worried about all that stuff, still loved the show. :wub:

I'm going to wait for yuri action involving Busujima, but i'm not going to keep my hopes high.

Btw, the OP somehow sounds familiar to me. Turns out it's Kishida Kyoudan and The Akeboshi Rockets. They are a doujin music circle (in)famous for their Touhou arrangements and live performance of said arrangements... some of which doesn't even sound like Touhou.

Man, Marina is doing such a great job. I can't imagine that being dubbed in other countries.

Anyway, you guys pointed out something important: presuming 1 episode per chapter , they got 25 episodes if they follow the manga so far (since first chapter = first episode). But without an ending. So I strongly believe this:

will happen. This kind of anime show is produced just to popularize a series.

Well I don't see a problem with that......I mean Seikon no Qwaser did that and not sure how many were disappointed whereas they were more (like me) in the ecchi field compared to the manga of that series....so why not make it a original ending?

Is this true? Really? So which version is not censored 100%?

Some of the "Acts" are a really short. The first two of the manga are longer than most.

They'll just probably end up combining two Acts into an episode later on.

Anyway whatever comes, comes and I for one can't wait.

Act 6 MUST be animated in full glory!

MUST I tell you! No if No but .. Its a MUST!

[Jin Kizuite]

Honestly, before I even read the manga I didn't think Rei to be a bitch. There was enough shadowing to suggest at a complex character in the one episode.

So much that people I watched the first episode with I chuckled at the "typical" 'she's a bitch' comments. Amateurs. :P

^ P.S KiNA our H-army Masta! Which number chapter is Act 6 you talk about?

Yes! Yes!

When Hirano takes out that sexy AR-10T modifed to the spec of a SR-25... I need to see it animated

PS. Jin, Act 6 is the sixth chapter of the manga. Second chapter of volume two if you have the bound copy too.

I can't wait to see some of the figures the anime is going to create. Bring on Rei wearing her knee and elbow protectors whilst brandishing the M1A!

[MeoTwister5]

OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I STARTED?!?!?!?!

Let's take all talk of Act 6 to the manga thread people. We are morally obligated to not spoil the awesome for everyone else.

Look up the Walking Dead for a much more serious take on the stuff.

Take your average HS girl whose whole life is just her boyfriend, shopping, etc and suddenly everyone is getting gruesomely killed around her. Then she has to watch her BF turn into a zombie and her childhood friend have to splatter his head all over the pavement .... would leave you a little unhinged imho...

Yes, which is why she does not deserve to be called a bitch. She saw the entire student body turn into zombies and attack each other, saw her boyfriend get bitten, turn into a zombie, and then get his head smashed by her childhood friend who made her wait for nothing.

I don't even read the manga and I know I don't want anime original material.

I am hoping there will be some character discussion, but I don't know how much zombie killing each episode will take up vs. development.

Speaking of favorite zombie death...

Claymore... We can only hope they do one cour now and another at a later point in time.
