----------------------------------------
Well that was cute the way the episode started. What a misleading OP theme
Definitely nice to see the characters animated though. The character face expressions were seeing.

Takeya was pretty cute to watch especially in class.



Not much zombie/horror stuff until near the end :o

They did it, I don't know how. But Lerche did it, there's no QUALITY so far and they nailed it.

I can honestly say I enjoyed this version to the manga's chapter 1 version. The reveal was executed a lot better.

Thinking the same thing and


Overall, cute episode, this "adapted" only the 1st chapter (30 pages). executed well the final scene.
the dog and mike's reactions were hilarious. i hope lerche will adapt well the rest of the manga and no original ending please

It's surprisingly good decision not to adapt this exactly from the source material.
I wonder if this show will use mostly from Yuki's POV just like this show...

anyway, I give 8.5 out of 10 for this plot twist episode.

Nope, i surely didn't expect 1:1 copy of the manga, don't get me wrong, i loved the 1st episode, i liked the changes but i just hope they will not change many things from now.

Chances are they'll explain why Miki is there, and the situation with the dog in later episodes(Probably 2 or 3). I enjoyed it even with the changes though.

Guys. Stop.

1. Miki appeared. It's not a problem as ch. 1 (actually most of vol. 1) could take place anywhere in the story. They could show her story as a flashback and it won't change much. Probably they just wanted to show all the cast from tthe start. Questionable decision but not story-breaking.
2. Additional characters are not the problem. They expanded ch. 1 (cause they need to fit only 1 chapter in ep 1 but it's not big enough). They won't play any significant role. You know why.
3. As of dog, I think they just want to keep it for the portion of the story but end up the same way as in manga instead of showing it's story as one-shot flashback.

For now nothing bad happened IMHO.

Dafuq did i just watch XD. At first i just saw the horror theme so i told myself, why not ? Could be funny ! Then i started watching and was like, 'the hell is this ? Moe shit ? Well i'll continue a bit, after 10 minutes i was like, you serious ? I nearly stopped watching but i gave it a chance, then towards the end i was happy i didn't drop it funny plot twist lol. I think it will be hilarious, the main character is mentally messed up lol.

i'm ok with changes for first episode

1- Miki appeared can be handle with a little flashback
2- for dog , who care about it anyway ?, it's useless character


i'm ok if they didn't censorship and changes major events

btw i like first ep and twist have better impact than manga for me

Scenario writer of the anime is a writer of the original manga. So it's okay, I guess.

In other words a person that would be better off just not watching anime. I'll never get how some people really expect anime to be identical with the source material. They are different media for a reason. An adaption can't be more than an approximation even with such a closely related medium like manga.


I really enjoyed ep 1. It was really cute and the hints are placed elegantly. I'm okay with Miki being already there. I'm pretty sure this will one be one cour(It's Kirara, They're always one cour, but they're fast with additional seasons as long as it's not Yuyushiki :() and it just would've taken too long until she entered the crew(around ep 7 or 8, I guess) and her character would've been wasted. I'm not so sure with the dog. He isn't really a problem, but he doesn't add anything essential. Build-Up for a Mami Moment I guess

Really good buildup there, I just hope the setting is actually used here for some psychological stuff involving the MC and she's not delusional all the time.

The main girl is delusional! I kinda saw it coming though when i saw a few reactions of the other girls. That's very interesting and has big potential.

Perfect reveal, i got goosebumps even though i kinda had the idea already from all the hype around this show from manga readers.

Even though I kinda did figure Yuki is delusional from the way she reacted every time Miki opened the door while the class were supposedly in process, the reveal at the end was quite shocking! The rooftop scene with Kurumi and Yuuri's sudden quietness was also a big hint.

Interesting start and has potentials to be among the best of the season. Hopefully it won't turn into a disappointment.

This was pretty disappointing. Too many changes that don't even make sense or won't make sense in the future. Only good point was how portrayed reality and the undead, a lot more detail and realistic, before they were a bunch of black silhouettes with white eyes.



I was honestly excited when I heard this was getting an adaptation since I've started reading the manga over a year ago.

Manga author, Kaihou Norimitsu, is one of the anime staff ( mean: he can 'control' how the anime story will go) , so whatever changed in the anime version, it will be changed in the way that will make sense for anime version.

Oh yes, you definitely should avoid them.

LOVE THE BIG REVEAL, the dog is so gonna get on my nerves tho. All in all, i am overall happy in the adaptation and that GG even got an anime in the first place, it is well deserved. The animation isnt as detailed as the manga is but hey, Its Lerche. OP is perfect and ED is nice, would have preferred something more creepy but im super excited for more.

Such a misleading anime, a perfect example of never judge a book by its cover

Anyone who is beginning to watch this anime, take the horror tag seriously, and I mean like fucking seriously

Never assume moe = moe

There are some big differences with the anime but the happy start with the dark ending was the same in the manga and i think it's really great they did that.
Tho i expected that as well.
That unexpected event in the ending is just great even to there where many hints things weren't like usually.
For instance camping in school and having a dog around where some of the hints.
The dog wasn't in the manga tho.

In any case i have been looking forward to this anime for a while and it didn't disappoint.
