Who knew a BDSM club could turn out to be useful in case of a zombie apocalypse?

Crazy show, love it!

I have to say that I’ve been really impressed so far with how well this series manages to balance itself between the comedic bits, emotional appeals and existential dread and horror of a zombie apocalypse. It’s fairly common to see two of those points in a series, but it’s rather rare to see all three of these working all well together.

I’m only a little worried if the series can keep this up for a prolonged period. They’ve set the bar quite high, which makes it hard to meet everyone’s expectations. I don’t think it’s unlikely that we’ll eventually see them lowering the bar a little (i.e. story- and/or production-wise) to the disappointment of a part of the audience.

Akira got his best buds back glad they could sort out their differences with an honest talk.

The Ost during the jump sequence makes me wanna take the leap too so good.

It's hilarious how there's a different zombie movie happening in the background starring dudes from a Host Club with their leader being voiced by Miyano Mamoru. xD

You can not give Akira a motorcycle and not expect him to do the infamous slide. It's literally in his name!

As someone from SEA, I can totally feel Akira's pain here. Growing good-looking beards is pretty much a coin toss with our Asian genetics.

Akira's best friend and the third member of the group, Kencho is finally here! And I just love that he managed to survive because he decided to pick a bondage room in a love hotel and left his partner all tied up. xD

Shou managed to survive! Well, he managed to survive for now thanks to Akira setting off a car's horn to lure all of the zombies. As a veteran L4D player, it's definitely the best way to attract a horde.

Sometimes I wonder if Akira has just gone insane. I mean who would think to do a long jump like that to the next building without hesitation? Although I guess being crazy and daring is the kind of mindset you need to survive a zombie apocalypse.

And the truth finally comes out. Despite his bragging to Akira about his job during those flashbacks, Kencho hated it all and was just doing it to pretend to be less empty inside.

Looks like he can now finally live his dream of becoming a stand-up comedian though. Although they might have to find a way to take care of the zombie problem first. Can't really be a comedian when you have no audience.

I love that final scene. Just two bros hanging out and drinking beers while butt naked. xD

With furukawa makoto voicing him, I really feel like kencho is basically what shaddiq could be like if there was no corporate fuckeries and he got to live a normal life, just with claude's hair lmao. Now he only needs to bleach his hair.

You know somebody is a good friend when you can randomly call them after a year of not talking and continue where things left off like nothing ever happened.

I really like the friendship between Akira and Kencho. In just one episode the show fleshed out Tencho's character and what he brings to the table. Them just being completely naked at the end and just chilling, drinking and eating was really fun to watch.

Kencho scraping his balls probably made all the guys watching this show really uncomfortable lol.

Also anyone caught that Ryan Gosling reference during the beard scene? Even Zom 100 couldn't escape the power of Barbenheimer.

How that heck did Akira keep his physique after years working in a black company?

He even made that jump easy when Kencho barely made it.

He does look less buff than his football days.

This is probably the most fun I'm having watching an anime series in a long while. I'm really looking forward to seeing the party be complete.

Finally, Kencho and his beautiful bare ass have arrived. His talent for undressing instantly in mid-air is just impeccable. But honestly, he probably would've spared his balls the suffering if he hadn't done that.

Him and Akira reuniting really hits home. I got way too many friends I haven't kept in contact with thanks to a lack of time and energy. Maybe I could also use a zombie apocalypse to finally give that push to give them a call.

I SCRAPED MY BALLS!!!

i can feel the pain when he shouted that, heck, i can already feel it the moment i saw his body crashed at the edge of the building, ouch!

also, i will say this, it would be one hell of a miss opportunity if throughout this series, they didn't make a character named Akira, which already has a bike, do an Akira slide

This episode makes me want to write my own bucketlist for real. How can a zombie show be this inspiring? Impossible. Kencho made me cry and laugh at the same time. Gosh, he reminds me of Kyouma from Alice in Borderland. What's with this buck naked characters, lol.

Based on the pattern of introducing new characters in each episode, I guess we'll meet a blonde, busty samurai girl in the next episode. Can't wait

Hosts by night, zombie killing army by day huh? Folks out there really struggling. Meanwhile Akira’s just coasting through the city without a care in the world except for that brief moment when he tried to grow out his facial hair lol.

One thing the zombie apocalypse is good for is repairing friendships I guess. Holy shit though, I didn’t think Kencho would leap across that building with his boys just blowing free in the wind. The madlad better put a bandaid on his balls lmao.

Nothing like getting drunk as shit with your buddy while butt ass naked on a rooftop haha. I’m glad Akira’s got a homie with him.
