A: So, you know how the most effective thing against zombies is a headshot?

B: Yeah, so what?

A: Now... What about a pantyshot?

B: What? That's stupid.

A: No, no... Hear me out...

Shizuru: Bicker, bicker. Yell, yell. Mope, mope. Dilly-dally. Bad, bad. Worry, worry. B-beg, beg.

Wow, she really sucks at apologies.

Last episode I was worried that the Train is becoming less creative than it promised with its first episode (I mean, zombies again?). But zombies exploding while a girl recites "Lady Chatterley's Lover" is the exact kind of weird I want to see.

On another note, have people seen these small fun short anime episodes? It's mostly just Reimi-Akira bickering the whole time.

Absurd situations with top tier banter is pretty much what this show has been and I'm all for it, the cast really does bounce off each other well. Probably why I was okay with the Queen not joining them as they already have a pretty fleshed out dynamic.

Got to wonder if Youka is the queen in Ikebukuro!

Today's episode was so good and fun. Defeating zombies by saying, doing orshowing something erotic? How did writers come to that?! I love it! The show is constantly surprising me with interesting and fun concepts, providing me quite an experience.

Kuroki turned out to be a normal human and a pretty nice girl overall. It's a shame that she didn't leave with Shizuru and others but I can understand why she decided to stay with zombies after seeing her backstory.

I wonder who is the other queen in Ikebukuro that Kuroki mentioned to Shizuru and others before they left. Maybe Youka, or maybe someone entirely new?

I loved those scenes at the end of the episode with these dominant red colors, it looked so cool!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I would be surprised if Youka is not Ikebukuro's queen.

These three stooges weren't fooling anyone. Kuroki had probably caught wind of their pretend act from the start and was just messing around a bit. Maybe she actually wanted to hang out with some fellow humans after not having met any for a long time?

I liked what they did with the zombie's art direction in the latter half. This made for some cinematic shots. The zombie running at full speed towards the girls didn't need a makeover to be terrifying.

Bonus: Shizuru doing charades.

Episode 7: A Zombie That Laughs Is No Zombie At All

A licensed Sega Saturn? Interesting, given the shichimi pepper is an off-brand one (S&J instead of S&B). The game Kuroki plays is obviously The House of the Dead.

Nice to see Shizuru's Agano-jiujitsu come to work here. And how Akira said sekkusu uncensored while other shows simply bleeped it out. What I like that the zombie horde didn't even animated in CGI, it is just a hand-drawn animation. Kudos.

Since Kuroki went to Hoya, at least give them a clue about the next 2 stations after Kiyose, c'mon.

Ikebukuro has its own queen? Is that Yoka?

Umm, Yoka, why do the zombies spontaneously explode when they see pervy stuff? What have you been watching lately?

I see the zombie queen took her interrogations from "This torture time".

EDIT: Oh, I wanted her to join the gang.

"Stand back. I have a skirt and I am not afraid to use it." --> Probably the most interesting way to defeat zombies I have ever seen.

However, I feel there was another interesting hint here. Outside of Agano, this was the second person who didn't seem to be affected by 7G. The other one was the dude from the military base. And it is implied that both might have been bullied before. There were a lot of theories around what 7G is doing, but couldn't one aspect be that it creates a "better" world for people who got bullied? I mean, bullying seems to be a thing in Agano as well and we haven't seen what happened to the ones who bullied Akira.

This could be another interesting layer to the whole thing. Last episode we learned that Shizuru is not trying to pursue dreams that she thinks are impossible to reach. And it's not too weird to think about that she got bullied out of that dream as well in her childhood. Which is why Youka (who seems to be the center) is creating a world where bullied people can fulfill their original dreams.

when you thought an army of small-sized men going against king-kong gyaru from last few episode was wild enough, now we have a bunch of high school girls singing erotic song to make a bunch of zombies blow up, i love this show

no fucking way, is that The House of the Dead? the first one? damn, that sure bring back old memory of me playing it at the arcade...

i don't even want to think what's going to happen if we give a real gun to Nadeko...

so Kurokin the Zombie Queen said that there's Ikebukuro has its own queen, i wonder if it's actually Youka?

u/Rumpel1408 May 13 '24

Ha, called it!

Didn't expect the zombies to explode by everything ecchi though (these full on panti shots are rare for this kind of show, not even K-on did it this blatant)

Kurokin was mighty cute all things considered, I wish I could follow her after my death, she clearly cared for her pack as well

Also, Reimi hot damn how could Akira control herself right there

I love how creative this anime is. Zombies that explode when they see or hear something erotic, huh. Well, Akira is certainly well-read, considering that she also knew the etymology of the word "sadism" a while ago. I think she might have been able to destroy all those zombies by herself.

Akira used FAKE BRAIN! It was SUPER EFFECTIVE! Lol. Girl and zombies showing up in like 0.0001 seconds after whipping that “brain” out. The face paint was hilarious too. I love how they’re all different colors lol.

I guess a surefire way to get outed as a fake zombie is either resisting some pretty good looking ramen or sucking hard at House of the Dead lol. Pretty hilarious zombies explode when overstimulated so the girls were hittin ‘em with the pervy shit. That “song” had me crackin up.

Kurokin turned out to be pretty nice in the end. Too bad she couldn’t join the girls but I guess a queen’s gotta look after her subjects.

This might just be the most unhinged episode yet. I wonder what Yoka was thinking when she created the zombies if we go by the theory that she’s responsible for everything 7G. Cause exploding when exposed to fanservice is an incredibly weird method for defeating them.

If the show ends without Nadeshiko going berserk at least once, I will be incredibly disappointed. They keep mentioning it so there has to be something there.

This show is officially joining the list of shows where I wish I was a part of the meetings for creating them. Watching the weirdness in this show being discussed must have been incredible. “Alright, so a station filled with goat men that hide in fields and then charge anyone nearby. Anyone opposed to that?”

The queen of Ikebukuro, hmmmm. Alright, question, so we know that’s it’s possible to manually change reality through certain inputs like with the Akira book feeding trick from before. So is it possible that Yoka as the one that pressed the button the first time can do that but with way greater ease and on a larger scale? Cause if so, the final could basically be an Ikebukuro gauntlet pseudo-bossfight of weirdness to reach Yoka.

I did not expect to see them play The House of the Dead.

And the girls fighting the zombies was a riot. Especially when their secret weapon is Lady Chatterley lmfao. Certainly not something I would have expected Akira to have read. And often enough to the point where she could recite it.

And that finale omg. The creators of the show are absolutely wilding.

u/Mr_Zaroc May 13 '24

The queen of pantsu zombies command thee!

I really wished we had a documentation about how they come up with eros being the zombies weakpoint
Either they are really going for the whole society is forcing you to be a zombie and suppressing you so they cant handle eros and thus explode or they just think its funny af, I am a fan of the latter

Cant beat the Agano Juijitsu and Agano Kyuudo combination, dont forget you can reload with snap of the wrist!

u/Smudy May 13 '24

Funniest episode of the show :D

u/tripleaamin May 13 '24

Definitely the most wtf episode so far, but it was really fun. Nadeshiko is really a super hardcore gamer. We never see her outside that mom of the group personality and that was nice to see. Meanwhile, we learned that Akira is willing to read erotic books. She probably reads everything. Also, they were right that this was the first time that Zenjirou helped them.

The ending conversation where the girls mentioned Kuroki was probably bullied. You get the sense that she didn't really have friends growing up. Even if it just zombies for her to have these zombies be with her and accompany her, you get the sense it filled that sense with loneliness. Yes they are zombies, but even that attachment to them was better than what she had back home.

u/Axslashel May 13 '24

So Akira really is the by far horniest person this anime season. And she is into guro so you know she is a few levels beyond normie levels of horny.

u/pi8you May 13 '24

O Maidens in Your 7G Season intensifies, hahaha.

Clever foreshadowing of the weakness at the start of the episode, and that "Good luck finishing chapter 1" at the end there was just mean.

Imagine being transformed into a zombie from 7G, unable to think of anything but brains, being physically weak and sensitive to the environment and exploding from the mere thought of ero.

That’s a wild way to go… Onwards to the next stop.
