The anime is surprisingly emotionally draining. Ugh. :(

I know, immediately after watching an episode of this I watch something more light hearted so I won't spend the day in a funk. I recommend Wakaba, although you might get tonal whiplash from that since its also about four moe girls going to school but without the zombie apocalypse angle.

christ, just caught up with the show from episode 4 up. Now I'm bummed. :(

e: there was some discussion a few pages back on how effective a zombie plague is as a bioweapon. From a "kill em all" perspective it's not that great - as people said, a superflue could kill many more people. But it's much more suitable as a weapon of (very dirty) war. It's possible to contain at some cost, and the targeted nation will be forced to pour resources and contain it - so it's unlikely that the attacker would get hit by the epidemic. Beyond being costly, containment is also demoralizing as all hell. So if you want to force an enemy nation to surrender, this type of terror weapon works on many different levels. But this weapon is a war crime of a level so high, reprisals would flow.

The fact that it's a deliberate instead of accidental bioweapon makes a few if the odder things about these zombies make sense, like the fact that they're relatively unmolested (the zombies, not the girls). In a 'normal' zombie apocalypse the things tend to rip apart their victims or tear off huge chunks as they feed. These don't do that, as far as we can tell they bite once, deep enough to spread the plague, then let go. I mean, Megu is like twice the size of any of them, if she wanted to bite a girl to death that's what would have happened, instead there's one bite.

Now if the manga contradicts any of this I'd like to know, because I can see them toning things down for television, but otherwise this is the closest thing to a bloodless zombie plague you'd get right now.

Of course it does, one is the... actually, I'm not sure how two genderless inanimate objects are supposed to be romantically involved, although I think shovel might be a guy. We don't know about baseball bat, since Yuki hasn't dream-sequence married it to anyone yet.

Delayed like a day or delayed as in a week?

Usually delayed means a week at the least for shows because of scheduling.
