VMPL said: Series that are unafraid to induce and lean into radical tonal shifts on a dime in a seemingly jarring fashion like tragedy or conflict being punctuated with silly humor, sardonic reflection, and other random happenings and unexpected reactions by people, as happens in the actual world with little to no warning all the time, always feel more real, meaningful, and impactful to me than many series which feel like they are trying too hard to be all one thing and force a more consistent tone throughout which can feel static, stagnant, artificial, and even oppressive. Doing it this way makes it feel more alive to me because it comes across less neat and more anarchic and unpredictable. GakutoDeathGlare said: Yeah, that's the problem with the show, the tone shift doesn't work because it's supposed to be a comedy and not to be taken seriously, but somehow the author included a heavy scene and tried to get you emotional about it.I think this is going to be a little more polarizing than what I initially thought, I can see a lot of people not liking or resonating with the tonal shifts and the sudden change from histrionics to a more touching or serious scene. Sucks to be them though, I guess. IMO, this show shouldn't be taken too seriously or you're not going to have a good time. I mean, it's whole premise it about living it up large when the world is in peril lol Don't get me wrong - I don't want such randomness to invade every series and it could easily detract from rather than augment the whole depending on what a series is trying to do and be, such as, for example, many other more serious series aiming for some dense and focused narrative, but this is upfront about being a darkish comedic fun romp with occasional more serious moments to give some weight to the setting/world or get the audience to self-reflect a bit on some issue, so here randomness and an anything goes attitude just represents freedom. The whole point is that the world is ending, so live! Do whatever, say whatever, act out whatever risk or fantasy with the little time you probably have left and don't worry about putting on a phony polite, mature, or responsible front. If the characters are being true to the selves the author envisioned for them as the world is on fire around them, then that's enough. This should be the absolute last time and situation where the main characters are constrained by being expected to act in a certain way. |

VMPL said: Well, that's like your opinion man...Farabeuf said: No, it' fails as a dark comedy the moment the author tries to mix tragedy in. The only good dark comedy moment of the show was in Ep 2 when the MC met that couple asking for instant ramen cups. Plus, rule 101 of writing any story is not to make your MCs dicks, the MCs in this show are exactly that, they lack empathy and are almost psychopathic. How are you supposed to like them when the first thing they think about after seeing someone who just got close to them die is "Oh, look what I found! A Widescreen TV"I think some people here in the comments are taking this series too seriously. This is supposed to be a dark comedy, social commentary about work life in Japan. Not a true survicors story, thats just the framework and context. RIP for the new characters. That was really brief, I expected them to hang around just a bit longer. Kenchou is literally a chad. Took him less than an hour to get laid with the curviest flight attendant. And Akira, yeah, he's your typical hervibore self insert. Probably would die a virgin but luckily for him there are few men left. I mean who the hell starts a conversation with a "do you have a boyfriend?" Seriously now, I think you need to watch some more shows and broaden your taste a little. And there is no such thing as rule 101 of writing a story. |

Well anyways, having the a friend like Kenchou snap him out of any debilitating emotional breakdowns or shield him from potential psychological scaring is huge plus+++ for Akira. If he wasn't around when he met those girls, he would've crumbled to the trauma and probably give in to despair. They're not psychopaths for not showing some sort of emphaty. I can argue that Akira was really affected by the loss of Yukari when it's shown that even when he had the huge TV hooked up and playing his game, he wasn't into it because it was implied that it felt empty to him having achieved one of his goals at the cost of a person's life. |

| Wow a fart joke, real mature. And am I really supposed to cry my eyes for characters that died only after having 5 mins of screentime? This show just keeps getting worse with every episode. |
| I hope the situations Akira faces amounts to something... This bucket list is getting boring, as things become pre-determined... |

| Boy, did this episode gave me the feels when poor Yukari has to die :( and not gonna lie, I was like: "NOOOOOO!!!". Herself and Akira had some heart-warming conversation before she got bit. R.I.P to all the beautiful flight attendants. Amazing how this show can mix with comedy, action, fun, goofiness and tragedy and all-in-one and can still feel so effective. |

| Such a shame that girl died but for the series sake we can't have two heroines. |

Highschool of the dead had 4 heroines (5 if you include the underaged Alice). What's this ridiculous and obscure rule that there can only be one heroine in an action zombie apocalypse series? |

That's like the weakest retort with nothing at hand to make a retort kind of answer. Someone with grounded arguments would've had something to refute against weak writing and apathetic characters. 101 writing rules does exists, otherwise you'd had hackjobs writing fanfic level manga and anime getting as much attention in their works as those who know how to write sympathetic characters for broader audiences. Someone that falsely claimed that this show isn't a survivor story really doesn't have the optics nor the level head to tell other people to broaden their tastes. |

MC get cuked every episode The first episode of this show is the best so far. Looks like it’s just gonna be another silly comedy with shonen level antics. |
| Damn, they got the tv but at what cost? This show can really flip my emotions |
| Wine and dine with flight attendants turned out wrong because of one damn silent ossan smh. Well at least they served their purpose well. Thanks for the fanservice Maki, Reina, and sweet talk for our mc, Yukari. He really needs it to prolong his bucket list of the dead. You all did your best so rest in piece already... I like how they also establish the behavior of the zombies more here, with the farting woman zombie, firefighter zombie, truck driver zombie, Reika zombie, and then the businessman too that grab all girls first and fast while ignoring Tendou and Kenchou, that must be related to his nasty previous self behaviour if you know what i mean. At the end, one week without zom100 new episode baby hell yeah! |

| Really great episode. That bike jump was hype! |
 |
| That farting zombie was highlight xD |

| Bro's before hoes, kinda retarded to cry for some rando gals period. The tv was more important. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| oh man! i also want an 80-inch 8K TV!!! OLED or somthing better than OLED looks like the three girls are just fodders this ep huh... 5/5. |
 |
| Ahhh why did those gals have to die like that...? Yukari would be a good supporting character. Oh well... Life in a zombie apocalypse always get tough in unexpected times. |
 |
| Well that escalated quickly. What started out as an errand to get a tv then a wine and dine with flight attendants turned into a messy blood bath. Poor Akira. He was able to get a temporary bond with Yukari. Having her rub his back as comfort when he threw up in the toilet. Doing that nice gesture reminded Yukari of her dream of becoming that flight attendant who did the same to her when she was feeling sick. It was unfortunate to see her get eaten by the zombie. My man Kencho hit it off with that Maki lady really well to the point that they smash. Too bad that she turned into a zombie in the end. At least both Kencho and Akira were able to enjoy their time with them briefly. But hey, at least they got the tv. |
 |
| That's very sad tbh, such a waste of characters also hilarious as well |
| Feel like the show is going downhill after the first couple ep and peaked early, animation still looks solid but the production issues are slowly creeping up and the story's initial appeal and charm is wearing off with time since you could tell how formulaic and repetitive this is slowly becoming. |
| ANTI-RIP his virginity lol |
| Oh no main-character, no plot armour for the flight attendents lol |
 |
| They upped the pacing, that sure made it more pleasing to watch, safe to say this thing will adapt upto chapter 22. |
