Very interesting first episode. I'm usually not very fond of zombie in general, but this show looks very promising. They didn't ruined it with a lot fan service and the violence level seems correct. The girl-who-looks-like-orihime has a lot of quick change of heart, first one is when she was fighting the zombie, she was scared like hell then suddenly she became a powerful warrior, I guess it's not every day you see a zombie lol. Second one towards the end.

Unoriginal or not, this is extremely well done. I was looking forward to this, and it exceeded my expectations.

Despite knowing how the story goes having read the manga, this first episode actually managed to get my heart pumping fast. Sent a good shiver down my spine. The presentation was really well done, not to mention a good job on the voices.

Also, needless to say, great animation and sound, and also a good deal of fanservice, much like how the manga went. I'll be looking forward to this every week now.

SUperb first episode.

Highlights:
-Zombies
-Brain Smashing
-Bats and "Spears"
-Animation
-PLOT!

Downsides:
-Overuse of pantyshots (k we know what this series is all about, but there's a reason for everything)
-Every single girl have exagerated huge breats.
-Some annoying characters.

It will be interesting!

Well I can just say this, I will give you a gold brick if you can name me another anime that the main aspect is surviving a zombie Apocalypse.(AKA. dawn of the dead style)

Who gives a damn if it's unoriginal? I am just going to enjoy it for what it is. A real zombie anime.

Also.

Sometimes sticking to the default is the A LOT better than being innovative. Being innovative with supernatural can result in VERY bad and corny stuff *points at twilight*

+1.
Just feel that i should remind what's important.

Just don't think about it. I think it'll be 12 episodes for this season, then if it's received well and when the manga gets further we'll get a second season. Sounds and seems likely all things considered.

Also quality vs quantity, and if we really want them to stick to the manga they shouldn't end it early when the manga is still young.

I don't know how many episodes they can get out while still sticking to the manga, but I'd rather have few episodes than fillers. Hoping for a second season when the manga has gotten a bit further.

When Hisashi came back as a zombie and a tune eerily reminiscent of "In The House, In a Heartbeat" from 28 Days Later played, I honestly got chills.

This is madhouse.

Most likely we will get 4 season arc in the end of main characters fighting onions and huge craptastic the end.

*points at how Madhouse handled Gantz*
*pointsat how Madhouse handled Claymore*

Very hard first episode.
I thought there would be a different build up, but this wasn't disappointing.
It looks very fast paced especially with that kind of start, right now i am seeing similarity between story build up with both Ga-rei-Zero and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
But it's still the first episode so time will tell.

One more thing that should be noted during the climax scene they played the sound track of 28 Weeks Later, that song is brilliant and was perfect for that scene. (Referring to the scene where Takashi had to watch his friend transforming, and kill him)
Just the build up of that song, slowly going more intense and at it's peak there is silence.
Just like that scene.

Now please count the times when madhouse ever did a second season....


Now count the times on how many times madhouse ended the series with crappy filler arcs?....

OP was a bit meh, but the ED made up for it by a lot.
Show is off to a good start and the animation is great.
I'm kind of worried for the fanbase though. I'm already seeing retards in this thread.

Now, back to playing Killing Floor.

I figured as much it was a remix, I just had the notion they were trying NOT to use the same song cos of copyright issues. I suppose they had permission since the song was so similar.

Thanks for re-confirming my suspicions, however ^__^

I think people who cry unoriginal don't realize this is to genre, you guys likely don't see zombie films often since lots of them have staples and this show followed a few staples to zombie stuff but was not totally unoriginal.

Also Dawn of the Dead was unoriginal by those standards. It wasn't the first Zombie film either and copied a lot of staples itself.

There is a difference with sticking to the genre and being unoriginal is what I'm saying. It's too early to call it unoriginal anyways, there was set-ups for some interesting future revelations in episode 1 alone. You don't call a zombie movie unoriginal just because the beginning has the outbreak starting.

You just said what I said in my original thoughts post ;P

I will say one thing though.. seemingly.. (and I hate to say this..seriously).. I saw the CG sub this morning.. and this maybe the only CoalGuys sub I ever watch.. if he doesnt drop it.. which.. you wont know till next week.. if youre going all out for a zombie movie with gore..boobs.. might as well as throw in the profanity too..

*edit.. LOL smochi .. thats what I was thinking of the fanbase so far...

A great start.

Great action right from the start. Loved the little things like the principal getting eaten on the PA system while everyone listened and the girl who pushed her friend away to save herself.

I just hope they don't do that awful red screen censoring like in Dance of the vampire bund. Do the shadow censor like in princess lover. At least then you have some idea of what's going on.

The upskirts and jigglings are the only thing off-putting to me so far, but then again horror movies in general have a lot of nudity in them anyways so I guess it's not too surprising.

The guy who wrote HOTD as the manga is a doujin author and artist and he made HOTD with all the tits and panties. So naturally the anime would have it all too. Besides, it's a seinen.

Zombies~ It's not original but I love it anyway, I've yet to see it in anime until now. ^___^
Personally I could do without the fanservice, would probably take it more seriously but it really didn't phase me all too much, I'm just not looking forward to the nurse running around with her extremely bouncy melon bewbies.

A lot more happened in the first episode than I thought it would, almost too fast but I'm content for this episode thus far, their despair gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Ah and I'm glad Rei isn't completely helpless, love to see girls kick ass too.

Entertained, I'm rating this episode 8/10, I have high hopes as it continues but I'm so afraid it's going to fail. >_<
