Edward IV posted:The OP is absolutely brilliant with the juxtaposition of the upbeat and cheerful song and slice of life elements with zombies and the zombie apocalypse. The title scene panning to and scene elements transitioning to the zombies is my favorite. saw this in the gif thread and it made me check this show out, so thanks for that  show owns. that OP is incredible and I hope it just gets worse and worse as time goes on hambeef fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Jul 29, 2015 |

We're flashing back to how Miki ended up joining everybody this week and the next. This show has just enough levity to make the depressing parts hurt all the more. The different ED song was pretty good too.

I think it's a bit clearer than it was in the manga that Kurumi has a sort of delusional coping mechanism of her own, it's just more useful for survival than Yuki's and only kicks in when needed.

Oh is that what the obscured faces is all about? I thought it was just a stylistic touch. Through the second half of the episode all I had was 'Kurumi in the kuruma' going through my head.

Speaking of the kuruma, Megu-nee suddenly appears in the back seat despite not showing up with the girls at the entrance. She dead.(if there was ever any doubt left)

of bees posted:More manga spoilers: I thought that the dog had been bitten and was going to turn into a zombie, so Megu-nee went to dispose of it, and that was when she got attacked by zombies. The students didn't seem to even know what had happened to her until she turned up in the bunker. The manga doesn't really paint a complete picture of what happened, we just know there was an infected dog in the past that they disposed of, and at some point they were cornered/attack by zombies outside the broadcasting room and Megu-nee, already bitten somehow, tried to sacrifice herself to save them. We don't know how they got in and out of that situation. The dog could be part of it.

There are times during the moments of levity that make me feel like this is series is what would happen if the girls from GochiUsa were dropped into a zombie apocalypse Yuki -> Cocoa Kurumi -> Rize Yuri -> Chiya Miki -> Chino

This show is surprisingly compelling, I'm glad I gave it the 3 episode test. I assumed it was just going to be pretty generic after the big bait and switch, but it's staying solid.

All of the moe just make them more endearing and makes the viewer worry more about their fates (unless they absolutely hate moe characters then it just whets the desire for their grisly fate

Going into this show I thought it was just going to end up having an interesting concept but not doing enough justice to it, now that I've caught up I'm glad to say I actually really like this.

I used to think I hated moe, but now I realize that moe is a lot like gore or boobs in that it's totally super boring by itself but can be fine when used as a single element in a multi layered thing, like moe in a stressful workplace or moe in a zombie apocalypse. moe "comedies" are terrible though

OK just watched all the currently available eps, here is my theory, Megumi Sakura and Yuki Takeya are the same person. Megumi lost her poo poo at some point and regressed into a child hood mental state who thinks she is having a grand old time at school. The adult persona only pops up when she needs to do something to keep herself or the group alive. Thats why they both have pink hair, why Yuki has a different uniform, why they send Yuki after Megumi stuff, and why the older girls seem to respect the advice or suggestions that come from Megumi when Yuki relays them.

So, basically under this theory she isnt dead and is being ignored by everyone else because she's a figment of Yuki's imagination, but rather Yuki is the figment and the teacher is actually the real person?

Kei's departure and the circumstances leading to it were significantly bleaker in the manga, but this episode's ending still made me sad.

I don't know if the tone of the moe/slice of life sections translated well to the anime. In the manga, I never interpreted those sections as bubbly and energetic, quite the opposite really - certainly not dark and brooding, but definitely with some degree of sadness and depression, and it didn't forget that it was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Here, the zany poo poo could be transplanted anywhere else and wouldn't feel out of place, and I think that's a bad sign.

It's an interesting theory, but what happened with Yuki? Wasn't she real before? Was teacher having delusions even before the outbreak?

Yah, I kinda feel like I am overestimating the show, and its going to turn out to be the much more predicable Megumi is dead and Yuki can't let her go. *edit: Grim Up North posted:It's an interesting theory, but what happened with Yuki? Wasn't she real before? Was teacher having delusions even before the outbreak? I feel like that was all just Megumi/Yuki broken remembrance of advents. Their was no special snowflake moeblob in Megumi's class and she was just going to the roof after school for other reasons(like to panic about if she is or is not cutout to be a teacher). This is certainly the weakest part of the theory, but they have shown a characters views of advents are not necessarily correct. Hagop fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Aug 4, 2015 |

Hagop posted:Yah, I kinda feel like I am overestimating the show, and its going to turn out to be the much more predicable Megumi is dead and Yuki can't let her go. Yep, if this theory were true I would expect that Yuki was a girl in Megumi's class, and after all the poo poo went down Megumi broke down and assumed a childlike "Yuki" personality. I'd add in something like Yuki being Megumi's younger sister and dying in front of Megumi to properly trigger a full breakdown. I'm sure that Megumi's dead and Yuki is just hallucinating her, but this makes for a fun "what if" situation to me. It also manages to be even more messed up, which I didn't think was possible, because a fully grown adult teacher reverting to a little kid and refusing to acknowledge the reality around herself would be a serious weight on the group. That's another big hole in the theory for me, Yuki cheers up the group often, and I can't imagine they'd be made happy by seeing the only surviving adult, who's supposed to be leading them and looking out for them, running off to classrooms to teach herself math while they gather supplies and keep the area secure.

There were some things I kept noticing after watching the episode a 2nd time, two in particular. First one was the OP, second was right before Yuki screams and runs to save Miki, she has a blurry flashback where she sees Megumi with a bloodied arm surrounded by zombies.
