In the remake of the Dawn of the Dead in 2004, zombies were running.

In Left 4 Dead the enemies are Living People. just infected with some virus. Why are people calling them zombies? zombies are the living dead. thats why the enemies in L4D can run.
werent there running zombies in Zombieland? i think I saw one in the trailer

Far better episode with the introduction of likable characters like Fatty and Sword Girl. However, the episode had a huge weight on it with two more virtually worthless bimbos in the Doctor and Pink-Haired Bitch.

That said, the best scene is where Fatty and Pink-Haired Bitch discuss the abilities/attributes/weaknesses of the zombies.

And I don't like whining about censoring, but damn...that last kill...that wasn't mindless violence like a lot of the show. That was a very specific character moment that needed to be shown. Shame it was covered up.

Hmm, perhaps I should paraphrase it. But how?...

Anyway, I know what a zombie is. It's just that I believe that in this kind of environment it would have been better to use fast zombies to make things much more exciting. See, they are freshly dead, thus their body parts are still somewhat responsive. But when the decomposition sets in they get much slower, turning into a rotten yet unstoppable force moaning for more guts. I think fast zombies allow stories that are filled with urgency and quick, almost desperate immediacy: "Close that door now! Get in the car! Take that axe now! Nooo, not Jimmy, he was such a brave fellow! Whyyy?!"... Fun, isn't it?

I know, I know: such a misconception simply kills the classic monster; they're decomposting, so their body parts are obviously much less responsive, etc. Honestly, I believe it is rather absurd to debate about the rules and anatomy of a fictional monster, but I do think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the matter.

Anyhow, I do think that fast zombies are great when people want some entertainment. Really, I don't want to be bored to death with observations on the human decomposition. Come on, it's an anime, after all - make it as entertaining as possible!

/end of rant

Well, I get what you're saying but this show is partly a big love letter to the Romero zombie movies zombie apocalypse and stuff so if they were fast it wouldn't really be the same. It would just be like all the other modern fast zombies out today.

I really liked how the glasses guy and the "genius girl" talked about the attributes of the zombies. Could come in handy later.

My rating gone down one point only for censoring that part. And come on now, if anyone wants to watch this anime is for the "tits and gore", well for me it's mostly the gore, if they leave such parts out then there's nothing for anyone in this anime to watch.

HELL YEAH, Sawashiro's character is finally getting some time to shine. And she's definitely a billion times better than Rei. Actually, she's a billion times better than any character in this whole anime. I was going to drop this, but I'll keep watching it for Saeko.

Lol at even the AT-X version needing to censor the power drill to the head. Hirano and Saeko are total badasses. And lol at people still complaining about lack of plot. This is a "let's get the fuck outta here and survive" story, not a "let's go save the fucking world" generic plot line. Honestly, if they tried to put in a parallel plot about where the infection came from along with the current storyline, it would just screw up the whole point of the series.

Agreed! Love her!

The part that was the saddest moment to me was when the main male character knew his mother was probably dead since she worked at an elementary school. so sad.

Takagi and Hirano are awesome.

Tbh I would have been extremely disappointed if there weren't scenes where main characters freak out a bit... And Takagi didn't disappoint.
I've never liked characters that are just too cool to be realistic at all.

The nurse should die ASAP.

There is something wrong with Rei..her boyfriend just got smashed in the head and she is blushing from a stupid touch from Takashi.

Now speaking of which – prove me wrong, but don’t nailguns have a blockade that allows to shoot only when the front is touching the surface of your target? Or could he just remove it like it was nothing?

Well, while I do believe that there are some with that kind of blockade, there are also ones without it, I've personally used one like that... However, the thing that bothers me is the fact that nailgun simply isn't made for shooting at a distance, and its projectile loses kinetic energy very quickly... That said, just hurting someone at a distance bigger than one meter seems quite unrealistic. :/

Other than that, I really like the episode, Hirano & Saeko are awesome, Takagi is somewhat annoying, but she's moe so it's okay. >_>
-"Megane..."
The nurse [for now?] fits the "the oldest but completely childish and unaware of shit going on around her" character type, and that annoys me as hell. Hope they'll go with the "standard" zombie movie procedure and kill off the dumb blonde in the next couple of episodes.

Just watched the episode. Hirano makes me smile :) I think the highlight of this ep. for me was Takagi's first kill.

And I LOVE Miyuki Sawashiro's voice...that was one of the things that brought me to this anime. Saeko seems like a cool character, can't wait to see more of her.

What the...? It didn't even cover one chapter? I've got a bad feeling about this... Leaving that aside, i'm pleased by Saeko's, Marikawa-sensei's and Saya's voices, but Hirano... guess it doesn't fully suit him. Oh, and Shizuka-sensei was kinda cute, more than in manga.

Also, Saeko~ <3
