I'm going to crop a nice Saeko or group pic to use later. I just can't watch that.
edit: after listening to both tracks, I like the TV-cut better.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I stick with TMD. They're worlds above gg, especially considering this thread convo that shinta brought up. In their version, Saeko says, "Don't get me wrong, Komuro-kun. I'm just saying that's how reality is." Which more or less gets the tone shinta pointed out that she should have, pointedly avoiding the mention of "truth," which would be implying an absolute. I'm not certain what you haven't liked about them previously, I haven't seen anything nearly as blatantly wrong as I saw in gg's or a few others. It only took me one episode to know I'd never bother with gg's again, they had a tremendous amount of errors and very liberal translations. TMD is slow, but worth the wait.
Concerning the actual content of the episode, this episode really was mostly fanservice. Saeko riding on the roof was ridiculous, especially given that that they were likely going to be hitting zombies with the Humvee. Good way to get hit by a body part, grabbed by a rolling zombie, or otherwise dislodged when they run over a big pile. Equally stupid was Komuro riding in on the bike in the first place. He absolutely should have snuck in like a ninja. It would have been easy with both the girl and dog making so much noise. Then again, I suppose time was of the essence, given that he barely made it as in on the bike.
Komuro and his harem aside, I appreciated what they touched on in this episode with the girl, her father, and the other family. It was implied that her mother is already quite dead or possibly still zombified, but we don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is she got to not only witness people getting eaten, she also saw her father stabbed right in front of her. Her father was more than willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter's safety, and was shown only how selfish people can truly become. Sure they had a large group, but that was no reason to just stab the poor guy. Was it practical? I suppose, he was making a lot of noise that would attract them. Was actually stabbing his necessary. No. They could have just pointed it at him and told him to get the hell out.
It set the stage for a good contrast between Komuro's harem and the other group in that other house. They think only of themselves, where Komuro's group think about how much they can accomplish without too much harm to their own chances. The benefits of that kind of behavior haven't backfired on them yet. The other family is likely doomed. Their gate is open, they're too cowardly to defend it, and will likely be overwhelmed in a matter of hours or at most a day or two. Their lack of trust towards outsiders will only mirror on the inside of the home sooner or later.
I suppose the last point I should make concerning the episode is...tits.
The dad was pretty psycho though. He was going to smash the door down or some shit. Basically he tried forcing their hand, and that's what they came up with.

How was the "psycho"? He did anything to protect his daughter. Normal behavior, IŽd say.
I'm guessing he meant psycho as in that the other people found him to be dangerous and might get them all killed after all if he did break the door it would mean the zombies would be able to get in and we all know what would happen after that. Though personally I wouldn't call that psycho but desperate either way it makes him come of as a dangerous person in their eyes since he more or less threatened them.

The subs comparison I posted a few posts ago didn't quite convince me, but I guess I really need to give them the benefit of the doubt. So I'll get the next episode, skipping GG, from them. If I like them I'll redownload all the episodes from them.
Post here your impressions, RZ. The comparison shot indeed made them look like the most ungainly of them all, in their choice of expressions and words.
Meh, after 7 episodes i think i`m done with this series, it has more fan service than zombie attacks, the premise is great, but the blatantly shameless fan service per second (fsps from now on), the absolutelly unlikeable characters (except for the main guy) and the all around over the top action scenes killed it for me.
I just wanted a zombie anime.

MFauli pretty much answered this one for me. Her father was just being a good father in a desperate situation. He was panicked about the probable loss of his wife (potentially at his own hand) and was concerned about his daughter's safety. If he wasn't freaking out like that, I'd say he was, "psycho."
He was a normal salary guy. He's not a proficient kendo practitioner, in a sojutsu (spear) club, a gun fanatic, a self-proclaimed genius, an extremely lucky airhead or the main character. He's just a normal guy, same as the people who stabbed him with an improvised spear.
He absolutely wasn't thinking clearly enough to not attract more zombies, he was terrified for his daughter's well being in a horrible situation beyond most imagination.
Zombies, blood, over the top action scenes, tons of hot chicks in little to no clothing.. how can you not like it?
Admit it, you just can't handle the awesome!

Not as gory as you would think from a zombie series tbh.Blood
That doesn`t fits the series *at all*, if i want over the top i would watch Naruto, DBZ, Bleach, etc.Over the top action scenes
I`m gay.Tons of hot chicks in little to no clothing.
It`s easy trust me, i really really tried to like the series, but the reasons mentioned in my previous post absolutelly ruined it for me.How can you not like it?
Let`s put it this way, you go to the movie theater to watch a movie called "Action movie part 14: Blood, testosterone, bullets and explosions, the revenge!", but it turns out to be a comedy, you would be dissapointed yes?

I don't know. A completely serious zombie story doesn't necessarily sound so good, not after you've seen the old classics already. The over the top action scenes suit this series because it definitely doesn't take itself too seriously - unlike those examples you mentioned.
Not liking the fanservice is an exceptations failure, clearly, because the trailers already left no ambiguity regarding that. I already said in an earlier post why I don't mind that so I won't needless repeat myself here.
Difference in taste i guess then, as a matter of fact, a completelly serious zombie series sounds so awsome right now. May i ask what are these classics you mention? i`ve never seen a zombie anime.

Sorry. I meant the old classic zombie movies, not animes.
Fine then. "Psycho" wasn't the best word for what I'm describing, if at all. More like "not thinking straight". Understandably, "not thinking straight" would be considered "normal" behaviour considering those circumstances, but what's "normal" really isn't the point.
That applies to both the father and the group who stabbed him. He was selfish for his daughter, but selfish nonetheless. (paradox, but think about it)
He was going to smash the door down. He said he didn't care for his life. The group really couldn't expect that "just pointing it at him and telling him to get the hell out" would have worked, unless they aimed at his daughter instead. (obviously, these guys were pretty "psycho" at the moment too, and didn't think of this, having stabbed the "immediate" threat instead.)

You're gay? That's the reason you don't like this series. Women women and women, albeit animated.
If you stare long enough, you might fall in love, give it a try
I like the series so far, but the fanservice kind of hurts is in my eyes. This series to me should be more 'kicking the shit out of zombies' for me.. the last 2 episodes just go away from that. This series doesn't need this much fanservice to be awesome.
What annoys me the most out of the fanservice is that if one of the women as much as blinks their boobs bounce all over the place..
And before you ask, I'm hetero. I just don't get turned on at all nu animated girls.
Maybe my soul has been ruined by all the years of anime but i don't even notice the fanservice anymore
