Ohh man I love a bait and switch. Now I just have to convince my non-anime watching friends into watching this blind and not shutting it off before it drops the switch.

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.

Read these without anything outside of the anime up to this point, now I want the anime to go through this part as well.

That's true I guess. We still don't know how this whole thing started. Obviously if a bio bomb went off then the girls would've been screwed too, so.

A bio weapon that turns people into zombies is highly ineffective though. A long incubation, low symptom agent can devastate high population areas due to no one noticing until a massive chunk of the population is already infected. A short, loud agent like zombies (or real world example, Ebola) may be initially devastating, but even with it's impressive mortality rates outbreaks are stamped out fast. Zombie/Ebola is really easy to detect before spreading to others outside of the initial outbreak. Compare that to the flu. A weaponized agent using influenza as a transmission vector could wipe out entire population centers before people even figured out it wasn't just the flu. After the initial fall of the population centers (and a majority of medical staff who were exposed to the initial wave of the agent), the effectiveness of such a weapon would still be quite potent due to human nature and paranoia. "Was that sniffle due to allergies, or is this person a possible carrier?" "We can't take any chances"

Making zombies is just a waste of a possible effective weapon. If you're going to wipe out a population, why replace it with a significantly more dangerous population? To what end is a city/country filled with highly infectious, aggressive, worthless husks of former humans a more attractive solution than killing everyone cleanly for minimal infrastructure damage, or keeping them around as means of production/cheap labor? Putting zombies into play if it's for any sort of military use will only entrench the survivors causing an even longer, drawn out effort to take control of an area.

And that's why I can't play Resident Evil 2 anymore.
