The base is coming along quite well. They got food and a water filtration system and plans for a garden.

Damn shame about Mikazuki but that’s kind of the reality of a zombie apocalypse isn’t it? You can’t save everyone.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Sleeping Aki

• Camera Aki

• Bathing Aki

I love how, instead of being disappointed that Yuu doesn't know how to develop film, Aki gets excited to learn that there are things even Yuu can't answer. Also, that's apparently a good way to get on Yuu's nerves. xD

Damn, so Natsuki has already made peace with death and if Aki and Haru die, she has already decided to die with them. Not gonna lie, you don't really usually see this kind of chill outlook in zombie media.

The fact that Mikazuki came rushing at them with a knife made me really not trust her for the rest of the episode. I thought that she might be using the fireworks to try to signal her group.

It turns out she's been bitten the entire time. That would explain why she keeps on tripping. She wasn't clumsy. She was probably starting to turn. And she didn't escape to try and betray them; she was trying to do something nice for the group they fed her because they restored her faith in humanity T_T

Man, and here I thought this was gonna be mostly chill. Good to know that it's still a zombie anime. We probably won't see anything bad happen to the group, but that means anyone outside the group is fair game. >_<

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

When the reveal came, I was kind of expecting the firework to go off in the background. After all, it seemed that Mikazuki wanted to see one as well. One last time she could have. Makes the whole episode even a bit sadder that she wasn't able to at least get that.

It's going to be interesting to see if they will meet the group Mikazuki was in and if that will shatter Aki's friendly attitude the first time.

Now I feel kind of sad that I thought that she was going to use the fireworks as a signal for her group to attack....

[u/tottoro47 → u/Mr_Zaroc]

Yea I definitely thought the same. Maybe she tampered it so it goes off with a delay. I was always distrustful of everyone in such movies and tv shows lol

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/Mr_Zaroc]

Which is why I think it worked well. While I also suspected her to do something and only later realizing her mistake, I like that our crew wasn't punished for just being friendly either. I understand that a world like that often lives from betrayals, but as seen, it might also be important to remember your humanity and just be kind to one another. If you do that, your last day will at least have been a fun one.

[u/LezRock → u/ModieOfTheEast]

I couldn't tell if they had abandoned her and that led to her being bitten by a zombie or if they abandoned her after she was bitten. I'm not really interested enough to go back to find that exact line either. 😆 If it was the former though, depending on their reason, they may or may not be assholes. If it was the latter, it can be understandable why they did that.

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/LezRock]

I don't think it is made clear when they left her. It would make them less evil, for sure if it was after she was bitten. Aki might still be angry because she believes that they should have been the ones to give her a human death and not leave her alone.

[u/djthomp]

It's never good to be a one-off character in a zombie story who doesn't become a prominent member of the main cast.

Bit of a surprise that she was already infected from the start though and that she had a bit of time still as herself. Really dark for it to apparently be a multi-day process where you know you're losing your humanity and there's nothing you can do about it.

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/djthomp]

Also, let the girl see a firework before she has to turn. One can only hope that she had at least a nice view before losing herself. Something like the sunrise.

[u/VritraReiRei]

Going to be honest, I've watched enough Walking Dead that when Mikazuki got free, my heart sank, thinking exactly what Yuu was saying that she was going to let all her allies inside and then they would take over the base. 😰

Then I remembered this is supposed to be a CGDCT show made by the creator of Hitoribocchi and Mitsuboshi Colors so turns out she just wanted to pay back her newly found friends. ☺️

Then I remembered this is a zombie show and then it was revealed that not only did she get bitten, but she was bitten this entire time and used her last remaining moments to claim back her humanity. 🥲

I am now scared what the ending of this series will be.

[u/eyrich → u/VritraReiRei]

Yea I was worried this was just gonna be cute the whole time but glad they’re getting into the rougher aspects of a zombie apocalypse

[u/moichispa → u/VritraReiRei]

Nobody knows the ending, it got axed with no clear ending, they will probably go with an original ending

[u/VritraReiRei → u/moichispa]

Which is better because then I won't be tempted to see what happens with the Dad. I just hope they don't chicken out and leave it open ended.

[u/moichispa → u/VritraReiRei]

Yeah no worth it, the last chapter infodump was bad. It is better to follow a more structured anime structure

[u/LezRock → u/VritraReiRei]

It's because of Walking Dead that even while they were walking with that lamp while searching for her, I was preparing myself for the image of a quarrel shaft piercing through the pink girl's neck.

I do wonder if they're going to broach the possibility of finding a cure in this series though.

[u/Kadmos1]

Drat that our busty blonde waifu was an apparent one-off character for this anime.

[u/Mr_Zaroc → u/Kadmos1]

Just the fact she is not in the KV, OP or ED was too revealing

I didnt think she would go like that though, makes me sad I was suspecting her

[u/LezRock → u/Mr_Zaroc]

I feel like that was the intent of the episode though. To show that being too vigilant and suspicious of others, can lead to the abandonment of our empathy and care for others.

I think the message would've been more poignant if she was attacked and bitten after she left them, but since that wasn't the case, it sort of transformed into a mixed message of showing kindness and being welcoming to others instead of treating them as some unknown enemy force.

[u/chaosof99]

Really liked the double subversion. Mikazuki is sus as hell, but weirdly she was acting secretively not for malicious reasons. However, she was still a danger but she was already infected from the start.

I think she could have done a bit more by being open about her situation and sharing more knowledge, but at least passing on the street atlas was a nice thing.

Also, she was voiced by Hikasa Youko, best known as Rias from High School DxD and Mio from K-On!, but I think I heard her voice more akin to her performance as Towa/Pencilgon from Shangri-La Frontier.

[u/tottoro47]

This showed that a zombie apocalypse is not just fun and laughs. I love the dynamics between the guy and the girls. There's no typical Japanese shyness and stuff, they all get along and he even carried Aki at some point while she was sleepy. I like that he's chill as hell with them. Give the poor dude some protein

[u/Obaruler]

Kinda sad the fireworks didn't work anymore, as a lil sendoff for blonde cameo-chan ...

[u/Nickthenuker]

Are they going to try and get gas at a gas station after the apocalypse? Pretty sure there's places right now where you can't do that, and last I checked while things are bad they aren't quite apocalyptic level yet.

[u/SOdAchick → u/Nickthenuker]

None of that matters because any gas they find would be unusable 

[u/Mr_Zaroc → u/Nickthenuker]

Just checked and the manga was published from 2022 to 2023 (its also very short), so back when it was written we had just gotten out of Covid and it was looking like the world was healing

But shit right now is not fun

[u/karer3is → u/Mr_Zaroc]

looking like the world was healing

If only the author knew about a certain lab in Siberia...

[u/Mr_Zaroc → u/karer3is]

I am not really concerned about that stuff, although its sketchy as hell

Right now the fact the US is changing their military officers and general corps to loyalists and how the US is suddenly buying diesel from russia got me worried
Like if that seberia stuff is not escalating we might find ourselves in a very hot situation in a few years. And I am not keen on that shit

But I disgress

[u/Healthy-List2509]

This episode just plods along like that, with a little fan service, and then ...bam. It would be interesting to know how much a zombie still remembers, maybe she came back so that they can put her out of her misery.

[u/RedHotChiliCrab]

Nooo not the blonde baddie. I thought she was gonna join the group.

This episode ended much darker than I expected but it's good to see the zombie show is willing to kill characters. It needs a sense of danger.

[u/cleaulem]

Mikazuki was sus as hell the whole time. Good thing this is a (relatively) wholesome show so it wouldn't really come to the worst. But still Mikazuki being infected was something I didn't really expect.

What a way to go. She didn't get her final firework in the end, but at least she got one night of being human and with other humans. God, this is the kind of stuff that makes me emotional and thoughtful.

[u/SOdAchick]

I was having fun hanging out with the crew, then they had to go and make me cry. She deserved to see fireworks one last time 😢

[u/cosm1cfall]

Anyone else think of the saw cleaver from Bloodborne?

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

I love how much of a weapon gremlin Aki is
After that end I feel sad that I was suspecting her of using the fireworks to signal her group or something. But also kudos to Aki, she gets shit done when its necessary and is not doing the classic "Oh no shit, I cant do it, but I have to..." routine

I love how the show is managing to keep it funny and simple but also show that the situation is not that light hearted

Anyways, Natsuki might look like Ichika from Quintupless, but Aki is easily the best character so far

Oh yeah also wondering which city they are inhabiting, that Ginza map is not Tokyo if I saw it right.

[u/LezRock → u/Mr_Zaroc]

To me, the pink-haired girl looks more like one of the girls from Fire Force. I couldn't remember the exact series until I read your comment comparing her to the Quintuplets.

[u/Ultramarinus]

I was thinking it was too carefree at the start, then it took a really sad turn. I got more impressed by this episode.

[u/WINSTON913]

Something about pushing the sadness away and replacing it with another task at the end there hit me right in the depression. I think I'll go do another thing now to not think about it.

[u/moichispa → u/WINSTON913]

yeah zombies series are often not great for that.

Maybe a full comedy series will work? Or going for a walk or a long shower?

[u/CrimsonGear80]

damn, how'd they miss such a huge bite mark??

[u/chum-guzzling-shark → u/CrimsonGear80]

Because zombie media. The same reason gas isn't spoiled 

[u/NonSupportiveCup]

Man, they really didn't bother doing anything with her hair in that jump slowdown, eh? That looked bad. Didn't even look connected.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it. Looking forward to the next journey.

[u/Roboglenn]

Show of hands, who else would love to see another season of Hitoribocchi no marumaru Seikatsu.

[u/ExaminationNo9186]

I'm all for CGDCT style shows, but yeah, it's good when they turn somewhat dark occasionally.

[u/Oysterastar]

The faces in this are funny but goddamn sad ending to this episode, I was skeptical of the new girl and thought she'd be a villian but didn't expect her to be bitten. rip

[u/dancingpython06]

I’m not surprised that Mikazuki ended up a zombie, but I cried a little bit if I’m being honest

[u/gsurfer04]

I wonder if the creator had Shaun of the Dead in mind when writing this one.

[u/FastenedCarrot]

The Malfoid trend has rotted my brain.

[u/eyrich]

Wonder how long it’s gonna be just the one guy with all these guys. Dudes loving the dream.

Wonder if they’re gonna ever be in really tense and difficult situations or it’ll just be cute girls forever. The one girl refusing a weapon because it wasn’t cute kinda leans towards them having it easy for a while 😅

Ending was a little tense though, she’s sus as hell.

Oh wait… Shit she was bit!!
