So everyone pretty much agrees that the first episode of this anime was fucking amazing, and the animation was really good. And I agree with that
But since then, even without the delays, my excitement for this anime has evaporated. As soon as we get past episode one, everything just becomes so stupid and silly. And not in an entertaining or funny way either. The animation too, has also became just slightly above average if not even average in the last episodes. The characters are boring and generic, the story is meh. What happened?

The first episode was like a prologue, how can you say that the story has a downgrade if you see 3% of the story on that episode
I can get the downgrade in quality, but it's still good
It's just not your thing.

I agree, it was that first episode that initially caught my attention. after a while it's one of those shows I don't watch immediately after release like I will do with other main stream shows. it had so much potential but the slow plot and lack of the cool animations just was a let down.

Yea I agree I thought this anime would be way better. It's not like its bad but its kinda devolved into another seasonal comedy that repeats the same jokes.

And I really just don't understand why it spends so much screen time on annoying af characters like his ogre slob of a boss instead of exploring the interesting rainbow zombie aesthetic. It's still kinda good but it just doesn't feel like it will do anything particularly interesting or inventive at all

I don't know what people expected, it is a silly zombie comedy, similiar to movies like Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead, not a deep philosophical drama

It is very much on brand imo and it will get even more crazy a bit later if it will follow the manga which it did so far

It is a pretty good adaptation, censored at some points but eh, i can live with that

I mean sure, delays suck but that's not really the main point here, it was about the anime becoming stupid and silly and the animation worse

It is supposed to be silly and the animation thing is subjective ofc but imo, it still looks really good

Nah, its genuinly funny and if you're not looking for some very forced "seriousness" , I think you can have a lot of fun with the Show.

You call it stupid and silly....but it's just good fun and it doesn't take something as nerdy as the "Zombie Apocalypse" too serious. It's really refreshing. We don't need another Highschool of the Dead^^

I get where you’re coming from but I don’t know if “fall off” is the correct terminology. That implies there was an expectation that it no longer meets.

I’ll say it definitely fell off the radar for a lot of people because of the delays but the story is still consistent with what was established in the first episode and it only gets better as things progress.

I love the show still. The animation for episode 5 was as good as episode 1. I am surprised it got this great an adaptation, because its always felt more like a casual fun manga to me. But I’m loving it, who cares if the animation isn’t blowing you away at all times. The staff also are taking a point from the story and not slaving away at it. Which I am very happy about

Seems you were expecting a story that didn’t exist, based only on one episode.

I have seen this a lot with anime, people going, “the snow didn’t do what I thought it should do” or “it changed from what it was in the beginning”, but both are about the story you had in your own head.

Why not watch the anime the writers made first and then critique it after?
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

I get what you're saying. This was my most anticipated Anime of the season. And tbh, it wasn't really as good as I expected it to be. That doesn't mean the show is bad or anything. There isn't really anything bad about the show. But idk how to say it, it just wasn't anything special as I thought it would be, I guess? But it's still fun. I still like to watch it and don't get bored with it. It's just that it didn't really fill my expectations completely, that's all. It's still an enjoyable show, especially if you binged it.

I don't agree with the animation part. I think the animation is still fluid and great.

Yeah, I agree. The show doesn’t really do anything well after the first episode. The humor is immature and the characters are mostly unlikeable (especially after ep7) At this point, I just want to watch High school of the dead. At least that maintains its intrigue.

I almost agree, although I wish it went balls to the wall silliness because the serious moments are so dull and forced. These last 2 episodes at the petrol station were painful to get through. If the show has nothing meaningful to say then it should just be a fun ride.

if anything, the story finally picks up during episode 6. Questions you may have had during episode 1 or 2 are now being acknowledged by the main characters. So now it finally feels like the plot or storyline is starting to reveal itself where we can start seeing character development.

It is funny to see these comments because anyone with the knowledge of the production team and source material saw this coming from episode one, there is the great writeup from sakugablog about the production issues of the series dated from July 14 about OLM production pipeline issues, Kawagoe directorial style and the overall impression that they would "pull a Komi-san" again and have a really impactful and well produced first episode and slow down the series after that. And for no one surprise it happened, even quicker than I expected maybe, but the manga also turned into a more generic roadtripperesque story across Japan that wasn't really that impactful compared to the first volume, so it was bound to happen.

I really liked the first episode and also the one where they wanted the TV. Both had a good amount of serious with fun scenes. But the other ones had a bit too much childish goofyness for me. I mean he is over 20 and behaves like 15...
I wish we would also know more faster about other characters, groups and stay in one city with a nicer base camp that expands. I don't really like the camping car in the story, it feels like every place and characters they meet are gone in 1 episode again anyway until they go to the next place. The zombies are also still too goofy for my taste... and that he saved this son of a b*tch was the worst ๐Ÿ™„

Even before the break i didn't had that much motivation to keep watching it compared to Bleach, Bungo Stray Dogs and JJK. I give it a 7,5 at the moment.

It feels like the first episode was the original one shot and when they decided to serialised this the editor said: "dumb it down", and that's what the mangaka did.

I must concur completely; first episode was absolutely amazing, it was as if it was promising us that we were in for a wild ride. It was true- but to a very limited extent. By the very next and second episode it went from amazing to just alright. Production quality didn't drop off too much if at all, but story and characters revealed their true form as just being kind of.... basic.

It's a mediocre manga and it gets worse as new chapters are released.
The characters and story are meh, underdeveloped and it seems mangaka doesn't know what's the point of this manga. It doesn't have a story that would drive to some goal. They just do some misc. stuff and it gets more boring as you read. Characters lacking any depth doesn't help.

It was an interesting plot and great pilot episode. But for me it absolutely sucked after Kenchirou came into the picture. The comedy sucks now, him being naked all the time is not comedic (for me at least). Maybe the newest character Beatrix will make it interesting (hoping so).

The characters are not even interesting overall. In Helck (currently airing), while one of the main character is okay (Helck), Vamirio is great and Piwi is super funny. I look forward to the show because of these 2.

I will stick to the end of Zom 100 but right now it is a 5-6/10.

I believe people liked the first episode so much because they expected that was building up to something interesting, like most stories do. "Wow, great setting and interesting protagonist motivations, I wonder what will the story they are going to tell be like!". Turns out there was no story to be told, it just goes downhill from there instead of uphill. It is a classic case of J.J. Abrams Empty Mystery Box.
