(Episode 13, out on Nov. 30, 2012)Zombie cat as narrator to introduce fellow zombie Rea, and its owner. Rea gets to go to school, and wow a teacher looks like sempai girl in Amagami SS + Rea using zombie power. Both zombies having "dates".

Weird woman from US with lock on waist and a weird bird? A hint of 2nd season?

I'm glad they're using more stuff from the manga (like Rea playing basketball and Babu making a "friend").

And I rly hope that them showing Darin and 18 at the end was a hint at a second season. There's so much great stuff from the manga that I wanna see animated, and Darin is way too important for a cameo in an OVA.

This was quite something tbh, really liked that Baabu played a bigger part and actually voiced over from his perspective, a slight recap of the good first moments of them and going further with the story that she's going back to school.

Good episode in general although not really a end for the series yet as it still ended quite openly, although there's still a 14th episode so perhaps there we'll see a final ending of this anime series? Although this one did start some suspicion on who the new character was and what role she would take "seems to be not an all to pleasant role for Rea"

7/10 for this special!

But damn this episode was hard to find, or at least the subs, in the end I just used a Chinese sub and google translated everything so I could understand it 80% instead of 10% so if anyone is interested in that file you can get the text here and you just need to save it in a file and put .srt as the filetype: http://pastebin.com/m6qa1J4j

I did found the 13th episode with the Chinese subs on youtube so yea it does exist if you search a bit harder.

The manga explains who the blonde girl was and what is going on, so hopefully they adapt the rest. I mean, a second season would be needed to even come close to actually ending the series because there is a lot more.

However, I would recommend reading the manga. It isn't that long so far and it reads very quickly and very nicely. I actually prefer it to the anime and I watched the anime first. Either way though, I hope they do get around to a season 2.

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH for those subs. They aren't perfect of course (like you said about 80% understandable), but you did more than what the fansub groups have and it's been forever since these episodes came out, so it's MUCH appreciated :D

That was a nice episode. They kept a nice blend between Babu's inner thoughts and moments shared by Furuya and Rea. A very good special in the end!

But what's with the ending?! A hint for a second season?!

Can't wait!

Rea may be dead and naive as hell, but damn, is she pretty.

I loved Baabu's voice-over throughout the episode and how they showed us Darin, which seriously makes me wonder if they're really pushing to get a second season green-lit (regardless of the show's terrible sales),

With all the foreshadowing they're doing in the past two episodes, I think it would be a terrible waste to end it here, especially when we haven't gotten to the real meat of the manga yet (seriously, people who thought this was treading into ominous territory haven't seen anything yet).

This episode reminded me why I love this series so much.

I didn't know how much I loved the anime until now, it was great to see Babu (he is so adorable) narrate the episode and that one shot of Rea was beautiful.

I really hope Sankarea gets a second season, it was such a faithful adaptation that it deserves it and the introduction of Darin gives me that hope.

This was a GREAT ep!

Babu is a total pimp rofl. Couldn't stop laughing at his scenes with the other cat.

Also, that new character looks interesting. Makes me want a season 2 so badly but that likely wont happen :(

It's a shame. A second season with the new character shown in this ep would make it so much better than the first.

So who's the blond zombie girl eating the cat during Darin's brief cameo appearance? I'm assuming she's not relevant. Anyway, good episode!

I always assumed the girl was a former test subject. After all, the data Darin reviewed had to come from somewhere.

And though the girl herself doesn't become relevant to the story, the data acquired from observing her definitely will, as it will show what can happen to Rea in the near future.

When 18 made its appearance, I knew it. Darin finally appears! I was right about her not being cut out of the anime. It just hasn't progressed to the point where she makes her appearance, until this special episode. Lends me a bit more hope that a sequel is still possible. A shame the scene with Chihiro escorting Rea to school has changed a bit from riding a bike in tandem to just walking, though. I was looking forward to seeing that one animated, too.

The subs are out and was able to watch this episode. So Babu is narrating this episode from his point of view. We see Rea doing her normal school activities. Some nice Furuyu and Rea moments and aww Babu has a girlfriend XD. Hmm but his zombie urges are coming back. The Hydrengas are sustaining them for now. A new character
( Season 2 teaser) who also is interested in people who are like Rea. As someone else developed these symptoms.

Yeah looks like a second season is probable. Pretty good episode, the one thing I always think about while watching this series is the fact that it looks like the zombies will eventually decay and I can't say I like that. I realize that that's part of the plot but it just bothers me because I don't know if there will be a happy ending. That's probably just me though.

I don't use torrents, so it may have been there. But on the top anime sites this episode was not subbed at least to my knowledge. As of today (May 25) the episode is officially subbed.

Loved watching Sankarea, the music, the moods, the problems brought tears too my eyes in season 1..... Seen this episode and I can't wait for a second second if there is ever one since the teaser ending was great... Really liked how the story Babu story unfolded and the way they talked about the cells not reproducing so you"ll be losing that sense... Never read the magna but I hope Rea somehow turns human again!! Love her and Furuyu has a couple

Oh Babu silly you~ narrating this episode. Seems like he is proud of his master. Dat zombie shower lol.
Damn, now I'm getting nostologia of this series from Spring of 2012. Those were some good times....

Nice to see Ranko as well. I kinda miss her tbh. Oh ya, the sensei does remind me of a little of one of the girls from Amagami SS.

Rea was pretty cute in this episode. That blush made me go HHHHHGGG.
Ah, the life of a cat is always funny to watch, at least for me.

Overall rating: 7/10

Lol, flying cats:


Also, really good OST this episode btw. That's another thing I just noticed now. Also with that ending, I think S2 is possible.

That's a somewhat unsettling place to leave things. Sankarea had a handful of great moments, a very nice execution, and I can at least give it props for avoiding the completely typical and asinine harem-esque route.

It'll be a shame if it ends here, but not every show goes on.
