Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto

[Buffalobiian]

Oh she's main girl. You might not see her as best girl, but she's definitely main girl. MC's friend isn't "main" just because he's in the OP. Getting more pussy doesn't even cut it.

As for which approach is better, main girl's approach is better.

MC is YOLOing and happening to survive. Main girl is aiming to survive and deliberately making choices that are likely to succeed.
While MC's goal arguably isn't to survive, he'd better think harder about that if he wants to actually get through his bucket list of 100 things.

Sure, I also agree that main girl could have gone for that sweet - not getting it was dumb.

Capitalism is the #1 problem in the world!

Even in socialism and communism you have to work.

And you mention stress? That doesn't look like stress. Sure she's in thought, she's planning, and she's not doing things that are entertaining for her - but that's not the same as stress.

If you are a protagonist in an anime, the former. If you are an actual human, the latter.

I'd argue that living without trying to hard to survive is actually preferable to existing only for survival. Similar to the mindset of eating healthy vs eating what you enjoy eating - sure healthy food makes you live longer, but is it the better life. And we'll all die eventually.

Yes, you gotta work in socialism/communism, too, but not nearly as much as under capitalism if applied correctly. But I'm not gonna get into that sorta debate. Capitalism is evil and nothng will change my mind there.

episode 5:

Okay, this episode felt like we're watching a Boku no Hero Academie-spinoff now. Wth. The suit even looks similar to Deku's shitty suit. I wonder if this hero shtick keeps going or not. Would be weird to go back from saving people, but next episode makes it sound like he's no longer doing hero stuff. Hm.

Also, this anime committed a cardinal sin that zombie movies mustn't do: Zombie animals.
Why do 99% of zombie movies avoid animal zombies being a thing - because humans would be utterly fucked then. Defending against human zombies is one problem. Defending against the entire animal kingdom is impossible. This time it was an aquarium shark and some fish, but it's guaranteed that there zombie fish in the ocean now, too. Plus surely there's zombie bird. And if zombie insects are a thing, game over.
The zombie shark was kinda cool, but you really are inviting a mess of plot holes to come.

At least development with strategy girl.

Kencho running around naked will never not be super weird, but I guess that's Japanese culture.

episode 6:

that was a shit episode. Absolutely hated it. I also didn't find Akira's reaction plausible. Punch this asshole to a pulp and continue with the journey.

[Buffalobiian]

Yeah his fear felt weird. In his old job he was preoccupied with working hard and slaving away, and his boss was a dick, but living in fear of him wasn't particularly emphasized. It's acting like the guy used to hit him or something.

And 2 days labour seems cheap. You'd think there'd be a catch to keep them around for longer. I expected Shizuka to be carrying a weapon of some description, but even if she did I suppose it's no place to use it since they now need to help of the baseball fellows.

They really do need to learn to secure their perimeter before talking and wasting time. Thanks to not doing that, they now get stuck with the most generic RV.

I have a bridge to sell you.

[MFauli]

What also really irked me: Shizuka has been portrayed as a super careful, always prepared girl ... if I were in that situation she's in now, I'd be super scared of getting raped by that "leader". He gives off super rapey vibes, the whole situation does. And how she's exempt from working is also super suspicious.

Either there's more of a plan on the leader's side, or this is really badly written.

You had me looking up how one actually goes about buying a bridge.

episode 7:

That episode was even worse than last one :/

- WHY did Shizuka drink that beer?! We literally see her being cautious and all all the time. She must have understood how rapey that asshole was. She couldn't be sure that he didn't spike the drink, either. What a colossal failure on her part. Totally out of character.

- "Telling of your jerk boss" -> repeatedly shouting "I'm sorry!". Wat. That was such a lame, unsatisfying reaction.

- ZERO punishment for the asshole boss. Everyone leaving is not punishment, it's just reseting to before. What a shitty message. "Hey, all you abused, weak people out there: Always forgive your bullies and don't be mean to them, okay?" Fuck off


Other than that, I noticed the blong, big-tiddy girl in the ending again. I assume we'll meet her next time, otherwise it gets really late to introduce another party member.

[Buffalobiian]

This show appears to try really hard to avoid violence, and it comes off as rather unrealistic.

Tendo was painful to watch. Prior to this, he appeared to be worked hard, but didn't seem to be traumatised by the whole thing, so his transition here also felt off.

Episode 9-12

----------------------------




The evil dudes were pretty cringe.

Besides this being rather well animated and the main girls/friend having pretty designs, I won't miss this series.

[MFauli]

The complete lack of inner logic and how the series treats "serious" moments ruined it for me. I still can't get over zombie animals - there's a reason why NO zombie movie does that. It'd be an impossible world to live in.

Don't need a season 2.

[Buffalobiian]

I'd very much rather watch Highschool of the Dead S2.
