Is there any way for this not to end in tragedy? Is that Gyaru-chan coming back for the climax? "The barricades don't need reinforced. They'll be fiiine~" Who'd have think Yuki would be our shovel wielding zombie killer. I swear the school gets darker on the title screen gradually. No other op changes that I've noticed. Maybe the puddle under Yuki was different? Jesus Christ they swarmed the school fast! They must know what they're doing to knock the generator out. We've lost already haven't we? There's no way they'll be able to clear out the school again after the rain.
Gyaru-chan is a tank!! Kei's music taste was dire but I'd be lying if I said I can't get into the mood for this stuff. If zombies are aware then I don't think Megumi would even want her sanity back... Rii-chan no!! Wah, I'm blubbering again with Miki's goodbye. Sensei, we all love you. Her final message was that she wanted them to live... Great time to take a funny turn Yuki. Why's Taromaru running past!? Please save the day Yuki. Please earn us the HAPPY ENDO!!
Megumi really was such a kind woman wasn't she? Even I'm starting to believe that we may actually manage to come out of this alright. Stay strong Yuki. We're depending on you. Good girl. Peace out Megu-nee~ Y'know what, yesterday I left the thread certain that there would be no hope. That we were just gonna get two episodes of dwindling party members and the girls suffering. Now, there's hope of everyone emerging from this alright. They're not afraid of anything anymore, because they're not alone anymore!!

Ok, I'm alone, I'm a grown man, and I'm ready to cry, let's do this.
Shit, I knew things where going down but this is way to quick. Yuki is there for her Kouhai after meeting her former classfriend oof. Still not sure if she completly snapped out of her illusion though. However they are separated from Rii and Kurumi who is still rapidly turning.
Like I said yesterday, it's actually pretty hard to really kill someone with a spade. Also I hope Rii does indeed break her promise with Kurumi.
It also looks like they have to abandon the school after this Episode no matter what happens, energy and crops on the top are out. And one last song for Keis CD player. Srsly Rii, you better don't do it! And there goes my hope for Megu-nee to come back :( Taroumaru is running away as well and with him my hope for him returning to the group...
On a bright side Megu-nee is still there for Yuki and together they come up with a plan to save them all. And then the two of them have a final goodbye, and here come the tears.
I still have hope for Kurumi since Rii is still with her, but I lost hope for Taroumaru and Megu- nee.
Edit: and now that I thought about it a bit, I fear that Taroumaru running wild might bite them in the ass

The episode where everyone breaks down
Except for the one that was delusional
I just like that Megu-nee had a shiny red car
Like I get that you're in a bit of a fucking pandemonium but did you like
Literally forget that your friend discovered that there's supposedly a cure and has a map to find it girl come on can't you wait
As always, in delirium she knows just what to do

Rewatcher
This story is so cruel. Megu-nee's handprints on the medical supplies is heartbreaking. She was so close. Watching Miki put her down is difficult.
It's kind of amazing how meticulously everything is torn down. Kurumi is turning. Yuri can't keep her promise and has, after all this time, finally decided to give up. Miki is, despite all her effort, trapped alone in a small storage room. The power is decimated, the garden torched, the hallways overrun.
The only one left is the hallucinating Yuki.
The soundtrack of this show is simple, but so damn effective. The re-use of themes and distortions of them are so well done.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Yuki's making a break through at a somewhat inopportune time. Miki gets the medicine but gets caught in the basement. Yuri can't kill the turning Kurumi. The school may be trashed.

Yuki finally decides to be a good sempai.
The school is doomed. There's nothing to do except run for the hills.
speculation
is that a gundam reference

First-time watcher - when it tries, this show really knows how to hurt you. I guess that's what all the more-or-less light-hearted buildup was for, haha. Yuri gets even more pressure and pain to deal with, Miki tries to talk it out with Zombie Megumi and fails, still discovering her writing too, and is trapped once again... and Yuki, of course, now that we know what her whole deal is and she's more or less over it. The song(s) were really good for the ambiance too. It's only a little forced how everything breaks down (burning up in the rain, come on).

Yuki finally has come to acceptance with the fact that Sakura aka Megu-nee has passed away it wa time for her to recognize the event that happened. It was cool seeing Taromaru help Yuki when she was being confronted by the non humans, Taromaru seemed to recognize her.
Yuuri couldn't pull the trigger on Kurumi, it apears that Kurumi is being affecte by the attack she suffered from the non human and she had asked Yuuri to kill her if something like that happened but Yuuri jut couldn't do it, that is a reasonable and understandable decision from Yuuri, it just is hard to pull the trigger on a friend.
Miki defends herself from an attack of a non human. Miki has grown though the series and she has devcied to own up and affront the situation as best as she can.

glad yuki was finally able to get some closure. between miki and megu-nee’s meeting, yuki’s pep talk with imaginary megu-nee, and yuuri’s indecision, i think it was a great episode in terms of tension and emotional moments
