| And im guessing the girl is hot becasue the stroy is trash, right. |
 |
| I'm getting the feeling I've watched something similar plenty of times already though nonetheless trailer looked good but all over the place. |
 |
| Yes! Finally a good zombie apocalypse anime after eight long years. Still, we only had one decent zombie apocalypse so far, so I guess we're eating good this year. |
 |
| Damn it. Now I went and bought 7 volumes of the manga to read before the anime airs. I don't have place for these man. |

| Really like the manga, looking forward to the anime. |
 |
| Why does this feel more like just another Sony PlayStation game than a manga adaptation? One way or another, I'm always open to new horror. |
 |
| Looks awesome tbh. New studio to look forward to as well. Idk what to say about the premise, it's a zombie anime, I'm not expecting it to be too great story wise.

Memores said: First of all: Funny you say 'he can decide for himself' when you also tried to sway him by telling him to not try Zom 100. If you can give your opinion on it, so can I.

Second: What do you mean Don't write on a topic I have no knowledge? It's not like I know absolutely nothing about Zom or Alice in borderlands, I've read 8 - 9 volumes of AIB and I've read a volume of Zom. Sure, I didn't "finish" or kept up with them but at least I can give an opinion on what I've read so far. (I've never claimed I knew everything in my previous comment lmao) Ngl it's the first time I'm seeing you so worked up over a manga getting an anime, you're usually pretty positive (even when something looks garbage frankly). Did that manga kill your family or something? jesus... Anyway, that was it on my part I'm not answering again. |

Also, cool to see we are the same when it comes to not liking getting told what to do by randos. Let's try to keep it civil now, that thread derailed enough already. |

| Work sucks so much that a zombie apocalypse seems better in comparison lol. This seems like fun, can't wait to watch it. |
Crow_Black said: Yes, it seems that you are right.lol this is pretty much resident evil meets quirky and cute shit. |
|
| This looks like it'll be a fun watch, looking forward to checking it out. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| was fun adventure survival "discover new thing" for the first 2 volume, but then spiraled back to edgy "humanity is the real evil" stuff after and haven't touch since. good for fans but i wouldn't touch it. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Viz Media has licensed a new, non-sequel anime? Wow. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I really enjoyed watching the PV, I think it's going to be a fun comedy... looking forward! |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| Dunno what to expect from this but I hope it ends up being really good |
| Always down for a zombie apocalypse anime |
