Gotta admit, I laughed when the title card appeared just out of the sheer disconnect between the OP and what was happening on screen. I really like this show. I remember reading the first chapter of the manga a while ago, but it never seemed to be translated further when I checked up on it. Glad it's getting an adaptation. re: Dog and Megu-nee: I think the dog is definitely alive right now, and if he gets infected later on I'll be legit sad. Megu-nee's definitely dead, but other people have already gone into what I've thought. Vitamean fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jul 16, 2015 |

I really glad that the delusion stuff was just for the first episode instead of being something used for the whole series. The new OP is pretty great too.

Btw, here's another fun thing about the series. If you visit the official site between 00:00 am and 04:00 am (you don't have to wait until this time period, you can just do the good ol' "change the time on your PC" trick), you'll get "the dark" version of the site. As an example, here's a comparison between the normal version of the main page and "the dark" version:  Staff sure is having fun making the show.

Megu-nee's definitely dead, but other people have already gone into what I've thought. Is she dead? She had food with the rest of them. So did the dog. They can't be wasting resources on dead things/people, so they must be alive. Or are they? If Megu-nee is dead, why was it a private study session and not a group lesson since it would be possible with multiple figments of imagination? I love it when something leaves so much room for speculation. This is a good show that I will watch the whole way through regardless if it becomes terrible.

If it turns out that Yuki is the only actual real person, I hope the last episode of this show is her, having fallen from her illusions, going totally Dead Rising on the zombies in honor of Kurumi and proving once and for all that a girl's school is her castle

Megu-nee being just a figment of Yuki's imagination didn't really occur to me until after watching the second episode. The possibility that any or all of the remaining cast are just figments and Yuki is the one acting at all times is now firmly stuck in my head.

I hope this isn't the case. Once you get into LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENING ON SCREEN IS TRUE territory, all grounding goes out the window, all stakes become meaningless. To me, this is a story about a bunch of people with protecting and maintaining faith in their crazy friend, in the face of hopeless adversity. I would have ejected Yuki, but that's because I am a coward who leans towards taking the easily rationalised path.

Great intro to episode 2.  I hope Senpai notices me oh poo poo he noticed me I'll notice him first!I enjoyed it more than the first, but I'm on board to see where this goes. I was following the manga for a while, but so far the changes they've made seem to be for the better. I'm hoping we do see the mall adventure in flashback at some point!

There's no way that the other three girls are all in Yuki's imagination, there have been scenes with them when Yuki wasn't present. On the other hand, we only see the dead teacher when Yuki's around. I hope that they manage to craft a good anime-original ending for this. They've done some good work with original stuff in the first episode (a lot of the subtle hints that something was wrong weren't in the manga), so I think they might actually be able to do that well.

I can't imagine it wouldn't be graduation. It's a perfect self-contained story if they stop then. The story certainly goes on if they wanted to do another season or something, but you could stop there and not for a second feel like you missed a thing.

I know nothing about the source material and I think it's pretty clear that the teacher is dead from the hints in the first two episodes. On nicodouga, someone cut out her lines when they were all talking in the end of the first episode and the conversion flowed smoothly as if she wasn't even there. Combine that we no one actually interacting with her/ignoring her until Yuki mentions she's there with them. Then in the second episode you have Miki looking worried when Yuki says she's going to go do the teacher's one on one lesson. Why should she be worried about that? Then in the library the Club pres tells Yuki to not run off by herself but the teacher went with her so...

My favorite little touch is Miki stammering for a second whenever she's forced to interact with Yuki's delusions, making it obvious that she's not quite as used to picking up on the situation as the other two. Also makes it a bit more obvious that the teacher is dead.

The thing I love the most about the Gakkou Gurashi was that it successfully managed to maintain an air of optimism and hope in such a thoroughly grim setting. If Yuki wasn't there, I doubt the others would have lasted a week. Any other zombie show would probably treat her like a burden and a source of weepy angst, but here she's their lifeline. It's something very few, if any, zombie-themed series do well.alcharagia posted:actually poo poo, this despair in my chest is not going away, this is why i do not watch zombie animes. what're some good actually-for-real anime moeblob shows so i can be bored into happiness? i've heard good things about non non biyori If you want cute & funny, you should give Miss Monochrome a chance, too. It's really cute (except when her pet Roomba chokes to death), and the episodes are all around 4 minutes each, so you can marathon the entire first season pretty quickly.

Just watched the first episode and can't help but feel really depressed at their situation. I'll probably continue to watch the series as they back and forth with Yuki's world and reality. Glad I have Non Non Biyori and Working to cheer me up after each episode.

MANGA SPOILERS: If the dog is alive and Megu-nee is dead, then they're changing things from the manga. Megu-nee was alive when they found the dog in the manga. As for Miki, I think they will probably just have her rescue be one long flashback, starting with how she ended up in the mall and ending with her coming to the school. I imagine they did this because they wanted to include her in the promo art.

Hidden gem of the season, I think. I'm glad this made me aware of the existence of the manga. Speaking of the manga, it's sales have increased by a factor of 10 since the first anime episode aired.

A bonus feature from volume 4 of the manga was just translated. It's not spoilery, so I'll link it here. It's the teacher's diary. http://bato.to/read/_/334194/gakkou-gurashi_v4_by_zombies-ate-my-manga Just uh, be careful not to click around too much.

The second's not too spoilery, but you should probably wait until they get into Miki's backstory. The last's definitely not safe until much later. I blitz through the translated chapters, and I'm really anxious to see where some of the things they've set up go. Vitamean fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 22, 2015 |

From that first extra:quote:1968: This year, Danto's population was cut in half. It was later called Danto's Night. 1968 was the year that Night of the Living Dead came out. Oh, and also this: quote:Looking overseas, Professor H from K University compared Danto with the islands of West India, and noted that there may have indeed been an exchange of culture between the two.

Pretty much all of this episode is anime-original. The buildup is really good though. EDIT: Looks like next week we see how Mii ended up joining them. EDIT2: Am I imagining things or did that thing with Yuki a couple posts up not show up until this episode's OP? I think they're slowly having the zombie stuff take over the OP. I could swear I saw some extra frames of zombie students in a classroom. Tarezax fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jul 24, 2015 |

The zombie students and the Yuki silhouette in the OP started in episode 2. Also yeah, the buildup before the roof scene are all anime original, but it helped build the tension and dread to what you know is going to happen. I liked it a lot.

I am not sure what this is trying to point out. Although I've only gotten past episode one so far. I really hope this series plays up the middle of the (Moeblob Slice-of-Life) ∪ (Horror Zombie Apocalypse) Venn diagram, because it's not very notable otherwise. Relying too much on one set or the other makes it lose everything interesting about the setup.
