Highschool of the Dead 7

after a hectic night and a chance to get some rest, a nearby barking dog started to group all the zombies near the house Takashi and the others are in, where things are just getting started. Along the streets filled with zombies, an individual with a shotgun was fending off the zombies in front of him but he himself wasn't in the right state of mind after experiencing such a chaotic world. The piercing sound from the shotgun was enough to cause himself to be surrounded by the zombies and while attempting to reload, he was swarmed upon and was taken out. Takashi was watching the scene and could've wanted to help the survivors but Saeko wouldn't want Takashi to do it. Takashi thought that Saeko would be different and would agree with his actions, Saeko tells him that she was facing the cold hard truth that they wouldn't be able to save everyone and even turned the lights off to prevent anyone from coming up to the doorstep. Takashi was handed the binoculars to "familiarise" himself with the current world they are in and all he could do was to watch victims after victims fall prey to the zombies in the street. It was then a father and his daughter caught Takashi's eyes and continued to watch them. The father had brought the daughter to a nearby household and called out to the people inside to at let them in. They were however rejected of entry but to save his daughter, he once again plea with the household and even threatened to break down their door to allow his daughter to be saved. Hearing that, the members of the household agreed to let them in but stabbed the father when the door opened and they truly wouldn't want more people to seek shelter in their house. His daughter, Alice (who would be introduced soon), witnessed her father's death and cried, causing the zombies to target her instead as they are attracted to her cries. Seeing how the situation has become and a zombie closing in on her, Hirano snipes down the zombies targetting her and tells Takashi to go and save her. Takashi does not need to be asked to as he himself had already wanted to go and save the child, passing by Saeko, he tells her that he must go and save the child which Saeko let him go, telling him that she'll protect this place and he can leave the house to her. Leaving on the motorbike, Takashi reaches the girl quickly with Hirano covering him with his sniper rifle. Takashi takes down the approaching zombies and saves the girl but had to fire his hand pistol when he was nearly ambushed, causing the zombies to group around the house but with the gates being locked, Takashi and Alice are currently saved. Takashi sees her father lying on the floor and covers the face with a piece of cloth and hands a flower to Alice, telling her that her father had gave up his life protecting her and as she place the flower onto her deceased father, Alice continue to cry in Takashi's arms. Judging by the huge number of zombies grouping together at Takashi's location, the group decides that it would be best for them to go and pick Takashi up and loads the various items that they need into the armoured vehicle that belongs to Shizuka-sensei's friend. It would be difficult for them to pass by the entire hoard of zombies to reach Takashi but Takashi himself have already taken a step forth through walking by the walls, carefully taking each steps as the zombies are still on the streets. With that easing the situation a little, the others arrive and with Saeko cutting through the incoming zombies and Hirano blasting away the rest, Takashi and Alice are able to reach the armoured vehicle safely and crossing the bridge becomes their next priority.

quite number of "not-so-needed" fanservice scenes but at least this episode had more of a plot rather than the previous one. Alice would play a role of one of the main chars so all the char in the group have mainly all grouped up. Hirano had a pretty much personality change in this episode as well, from a nosebleeding dude to a rather cool sniping dude. seeing how the series is proceeding with the manga, im hoping that they wont make the same boring episode as the one with tons of recap just for the sake of keeping the 1 chapter 1 episode kind of thing.

K-ON! is going to end in their next issue and the girls have all made it to their Universities, which the final chapter of the rather famous series would end with the girls graduating and with the entire series focusing on their high school lives. so we wouldn't be able to see them perfoming in Budokan / outside the school as a professional band. unless they do a time leap which is pretty unlikely.

K-ON!! 19

With much practice being made, the long awaited school festival as finally arrived. Everyone in the class were busy adding final touches to their props while Mio and Ritsu continue to practice their lines. Mio was however beginning to feel nervous and even forgot most of the lines. Yui returns to the class and advices Mio to write down pumpkin on her hands and then "gobbling" it down to relieve stress. Ritsu knew that it wasn't really something practical but Mio really did went on to try it nonetheless. Meanwhile for Jun, Azusa and Ui, they were finally given a break after attending to their own booth and took the chance to go explore the school festival. Through touring the festival, the girls sees that most of the costumes worn were rather well made and then heard that they were all made by Sawa-chan. Azusa wonders just how many other clubs Sawa-chan had volunteered to design their costumes for. At last, the costumes were finally ready after Sawa-chan's all nighter and everyone were all happy with the quality of the costumes made and the class prepares to step onto stage. Ritsu sees more and more people swarming in to watch their play and was getting excited but that wasn't the case for Mio who was still slightly nervous just right before the real play. Meanwhile, Azusa and the others have already reached to watch their play and Azusa started to think for a moment on how the others have "neglected" their club practices but she thinks that it could be because the school festival would be their last one and it would be right for them to practice very hard for their play. After settling down beside Sawa-chan, the Romeo and Juliet play begins. Mio did somehow obtained some courage and was performing rather well, the only possible distraction for the audience would probably be the tree Yui is in with her head sticking out of the tree's trunk. As the play continues, one of their classmates realised that an important prop was missing, the grave which was to be use during the climax of the play. Seeing how complicated the situation has become, one of the performers leave her role to Yui and heads out to borrow a similar-looking prop from the Occult club and Mugi follows her as well. Yui then took up her new role for the time being where she is now a bush with her head yet again sticking out in the middle. Luckily enough, the Occult club allowed their look-a-like to be borrowed for the play and it was transported back to the stage just in time. With that, the play was successfully completed and the curtains close with Azusa tearing, not because of how touching the play was, but rather about the lack of club practice with the rest. The other girls then went back to the music room and sees Azusa practicing by herself and after knowing how she feels, Ritsu tells her that they would not neglect the Light Music Club at all and will be staying overnight for practice. When night falls, the girls decide to take the chance to take a stroll around the campus and coincidentally found the Juliet's Grave being left behind near some other booth where someone must have thought that the prop belonged to them. The girls later went to thank the Occult club as well for borrowing their prop to them, making the success of the play possible. After some pointless chatter, the girls went to sleep and were called up by Sawa-chan next morning after she, who has now deep eyebags, have finally completed a normal looking T-shirt for the girls after rushing through it the entire night and the girls are now finally ready for their perfomance later in the afternoon.

the play was rather alright IMO and more classmates were given some scenes as well. it was distracting for me when you have some serious and touching scenes being acted out and you see a small Yui's head on a tree and on a bush .___. just to add on, the manga is ending, where we won't get to see the going into Budokan or even their lives after high school as it would probably end in the next chapter being the last, and would most possibly be showing them graduating. nonetheless, this episode was rather OK, well, seeing more dialogues from the other characters is interesting and in the next, the LONG awaited performance it finally here! HTT!!!

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi 7

In the town, Ryoushi is greeted by a Ryouko in a dress, resulting in Ryoushi getting whacked after exclaiming how cute he thinks she was. It turns out that the Otogi Bank has a new request where it was first started by Hanasaki Jin, who has come to the Otogi Bank to make a request for them to help find out who was going into his house everyday to clean his house and even prepares food for him. With the spy cameras installed, it was easy for them to discover who it was, and it turns out to be Jizou Ami, a student of their school. After confronting her with visual evidence, she explains that Jin had lent her an umbrella one rainy day and she was too embarrassed to thank him face to face and had used this way of thanking him. Under Ringo's advice, Ami finally found courage to express her feelings face to face to Jin but he had not look at her once in a romantic way. Jin however tells Ami that her way of repaying him was too much and would like to do something in return for her, which Ringo then suggests to them to go on a date. Ryoushi and Ryouko were then asked along to go with a double date to make Ami less nervous. Seeing how stiff Ami was still after walking beside Jin, Ringo tells Ryouko to hold hands with Ryoushi and to act as a model example to the two. For the request, Ryouko then forcefully grabs Ryoushi's hand and walks in front of the other two, successfully bringing them to hold hands as well. In the cinema where they watched a sad movie, Ryoushi had brought with him a handkerchief to aid Ryouko when she tears and Jin also helped to wipe off the tears of Ami as well, so did seem like a doll, being all stiff. The double date continues where Ryoushi and Ryouko look more like a dating couple rather than the other two, whether in the pet shop or in the arcade where the two rarely spoke to each other at all. The group then reach the park where they were suppose to have their picnic but Ryouko takes her leave temporarily, Ryoushi follows as well, leaving Ami and Jin alone on the picnic mat. Ryoushi discovers Ryouko trying to save a cat on the tree and after reaching it, the branch breaks and they both fell in the shallow river. Ryoushi sees the situation and dives in to save Ryouko. The cat was safe and Ryouko had passed out for a moment and when she wakes, she does not recognise Ryoushi at all and Ryoushi suspects her to be suffering from amnesia after probably hitting her head on the bottom of the river. Luckily, Ryouko still remembers her own name but had her mindset when she was 13 years old. She calls Ryoushi "Onii-san" after thinking that he was older than her which did made Ryoushi happy for a moment. After seeing Ryouko might have caught a cold, Ryoushi goes forth and hands her his shirt which was drenched and when Ryoushi was anticipating a wack from her, Ryouko thanks him instead and Ryoushi is kinda happy when she's being honest. Jin and Ami weren't talking to each other and had a wierd atmosphere without Ryouko and Ryoushi but Ringo covers it for them by telling Ami that it was part of the plan. Ringo later receives a call from Ryoushi where he tells Ringo that Ryouko has become cute and the line was cut off before he could actually make some sense in his words. The duo then settle down on a bench and Ryoushi helps to relate the current situation to Ryouko. She learns that she was actually older and that when she asks about their relationship, Ryoushi tells her that they were companions and Ryouko had initially thought that they were in a relationship. Ryoushi suggests yet again that they should go to the hospital but Ryouko drags him into town. While doing that, Ringo sees a happy Ryouko dragging Ryoushi along and thinks that she must have been to tired to be seeing something impossible happening. The duo went into town were enjoying themselves like in a genuine date, eating crepes and shopping but when Ryoushi mentions about the visiting the hospital again, Ryouko stops and seemed reluctant to go. Ryoushi then pats her head, telling her that she was probably feeling scared that she was all alone but he would always be there by her side and protect her. It then started to rain and while taking shelter, Ringo calls Ryoushi and tells him that Ami and Jin had left together under an umbrella and Ryoushi suggests that they meet up as it would be easier to explain the situation. In a family restaurant, Ryouko was eating her ice cream while Ryoushi explains the siutation to Ringo and Ringo proves it when Ryouko does not recognise her. While they were discussing on how to recover her memories, Ryouko sees that she was being ignored by Ryoushi and leaves, telling Ryoushi that what he said to be by her side all the time was all lies. In the rain, Ryouko ponders over Ryoushi's words and had thought he would be caring towards her and when she turned, she hit someone and fell to the floor where she sees Shirou in front of her. She starts to feel scared after seeing that familiar face once more but was kept "conscious" after Ryoushi called out to her again and then helped carried her back up. Shirou stops them in their tracks and started to talk about the relationship he and Ryouko had in the past. Shirou tells him that Ryouko was labelled by the others as a liar after he tried to force himself on her but the others did not believe Ryouko's side of the story and that was why she had transferred school. Ryouko breaks down and Ryoushi quickly takes out his slingshot but was sliced through within a split second. Ryoushi tells Shirou that he does not care about how Ryouko was in the past and would protect her from now on and that he will continue to hunt him down for what he had did to Ryouko in the past. Shirou leaves after the commotion and Ryouko's memories returned later in the day. Ringo tells Ryouko that it was a pity that she had lost her memories while she was having amnesia and when she tells her that they should go and eat, Ryouko decides to pass and tells Ringo that she already had crepe. This then gave her away as she had ate the crepe while having amnesia which means that the still retained all her memories during the whole time and then, Ringo smirks. The result was seen in the next day in school where Ryouko was forced to wear a ribbon to prevent Ringo from spilling the beans and when Ryoushi said that she was cute with it, he receives the familiar wack from Ryouko once again.

a rather decent episode and Ami and Jin were probably real side characters where the episode mainly focuses on strengthening the understanding between Ryoushi and Ryouko and also we got to see a different side of Ryouko, and Ryoushi as well. It was really cool when Ryoushi tells Shirou that he would definitely hunt him down, a totally different him and a side of him that we all probably wants instead of his timid side. he gets pretty serious when it comes to Ryouko eh. and of cos we get to see Ryouko's soft side as well, which wasn't bad but did felt a little wierd where she's all honest, unlike being a tsundere. so probably the series would be heading towards Ryoushi hunting down Shirou (which isn't bad i presume) and hopefully an ending that we would all like at the end...

oh and Jin and Ami seemed to have been together after that with Ami still preparing food for Jin in his house O.O

Highschool of the Dead 6

typically, this would be a rather short post on HOTD, the reason... nearly 3/4 or even more of the episode was just plain fanservice and that isn't something that can be written @.@

leaving those aside, what was left isn't much =X

the team went to Shizuka-sensei's friend's home and was finally able to take a rest and take a shower as well (and there's where the fanservice are all coming from .____.) Hirano and Takashi manage to pry open a locker which contained a rifle, shotgun and a crossbow. Meanwhile, the police who were containing the crowd were given orders as to do whatever means necessary to keep everything under control. So when there was a demonstration by a group of people to condemn the police, one officer had no choice but to end the entire demonstration by firing a point-blank shot at the leader of the demonstrations. Later that night, the people being infected by the virus was spreading so quickly that wiping them all out, including some who are still alive, seemed to be one of the best options around and huge machinery were used to eradicate all those on the bridge. In feeling of how inhumane he had become, the officer eventually killed himself with his own pistol. Having the commotion died down over at the bridge, the zombies were now attracted to a barking dog near the house the team is currently staying and they were all yet again surrounded by the bloodthirsty monsters.

due to the lack of "attractiveness", Shiki is given up for this season... mainly due to the story which didn't really prompt me to watch it further.

The World God Only Knows will soon have its anime preview coming up, shall be waiting for it :)

finally got my HnG vol. 22 which stars Athena yet again :D the next 2 volumes which have a double cover shall be released together in Nov-Dec... oh well, good things are worth the wait!

P.S. too much braincells being killed off these days ... extremely busy with schoolwork and preparing for upcoming exams. do not expect more frequent updates in time to come... shall be more active during hols.

oh and heres a quite beautifully done Miku PVC (kinda late on this):

K-ON!! 18

with the results of the class polling, Mio has been selected to be playing the role of Romeo in their class play and being unable to take the shock of being chosen as a lead character, she faints in her own seat. After regaining her senses, Mio immediately objects to the decision made but was denied by Nodoka since it was of the majority vote and no one else was nominated or volunteered themselves. Ritsu tries to comfort Mio and to make her accept the fact of the Romeo's role. Coincidentally, Ritsu was chosen to play Juliet and objected too as well but the both of them were clearly ignored by Nodoka. While deciding on who would design the costume, Sawa-chan volunteers herself to design the costume and both Mio and Ritsu looked at Sawa-chan and appears to be afraid of what she was going to make for them. Back in the music room, Mio had remained emotionless in a corner, staring closely at Ton-chan, while Ritsu was thinking about her own role as Juliet and was laughed at by Azusa who just couldn't control herself being amused by Ritsu taking up Juliet. Azusa then goes to Mio and tells her that she would be in the spotlight on the stage, Mio immediately receives the impact and later walks off, saying that she plans to transfer school and would be back after the school festival. Her self denial continues with her thinking that the role she had taken was all just a dream but Ritsu quickly drags her off to practice the scripts. Meanwhile, Yui had been standing still all along as she plays a tree in their class play and was adviced by Nodoka to practice standing still. Mio later finds Nodoka and tells her that she really cannot take up the position as Romeo and before Nodoka agrees to it, she tells Mio that everyone had believed that she could perform the role best and with that, Mio feels motivated and accepts the role to not let everyone down. The duo then started practicing lines but the both of them still had problems with Ritsu not being girly enough and Mio being totally embarrassed after reading the script and being unable to project her voice. After returning to the music room, Yui suggests to them that they should start acting like their roles in the play and tries to make Ritsu more girl-like and Mio more boy-like but it wasn't long before Ritsu grew tired of it and dragged Mio to her house for more practice. Just as Ritsu began to speak her script, Mio began to laugh uncontrollably and the situation continues with the them still being unable to totally match the characters. While teasing each other, the duo suddenly "caught" the voice as was finally able to properly act out their respective roles. Mio was however still unable to project her voice even though she did quite well in Ritsu's room and Mugi decides to bring her to a special training during the weekends. Mugi had brought everyone to work at a cafe where they would serve the customers as waitresses and since they are all strangers, Mio would be able to boost her courage after the training. Mio wasn't really up to the task and was rather clumsy while serving the customers and couldn't really speak up. Azusa wonders why Mio was still able to sing during the school festival in front of the audience and Ritsu tells her it was because she wasn't given a choice and with that, she thinks of a perfect plan for Mio. While everyone was given a chance to rest, Ritsu deliberately leaves Mio to tend to the customers alone and while given no choice, Mio could actually perform better. The others then decide to check on Mio after some time and did see her perfect smile and sending of the customers but after stoning there, she had fainted once again while standing as due to extreme stress. The next day in school, Mio seems to be unable to remove her smile after practicing it for so long and was finally removed with Ritsu's cheek grabbing technique. In the end, the training did seem to have paid off a little and Azusa feels wierd practicing her guitar with Yui standing still in front of her.

just another typical episode, would lovely wait for the next school festival episode...

P.S. Mio was extremely depressed after having larger hips than the rest .____. Mio's self delusions is just awesome. Still Tree FTW! xD

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi 6

the 6th episode focuses more on Ryouko's past but was indirectly known to the viewers and not Ryoushi, yet.

the day starts off with Ringo cleaning up their room while Ryouko goes off to the gym to train and is seen by Ringo to be behaving rather wierd after she did not seem to be extremely happy when Ringo tells her that she's preparing her favourite hamburgers for dinner tonight. Having pondered over the relationship between Ryouko and Shirou, Ryoushi decides to call Ringo and asks if he could have a chat with her. Ringo complies to Ryoushi's request and goes out to meet him but declined telling him about Ryouko's past as he should be the one asking Ryouko directly after gaining her total trust just like Ringo did. Meanwhile, the past wasn't totally kept secret and flashbacks were seen by Ryouko in the gym, where after she was forced on by Shirou, her other friends did not believe her words at all and she felt all alone and lost. This directly affect her training blows and even her old time "trainer" could see that lack of energy. Alice and Liszt are both trying to garner more information about Shirou as well but it seems like his data before he transferred school had all been deleted. While back in her room, Ringo takes out the photos she had with Ryouko when they first met and starts to think about them yet again. On that fateful day, Ringo had took the opportunity to pass Ryouko a form as she was absent and after being warned by the other classmates that she was scary and violent, Ringo wondered if she had made the wrong choice but helping out. When she went to find Ryouko, she discovered that she reads Girl's Novels and at the same time, found that she was having high fever. While Ringo was going to get something to cool her down, Ryouko, in her sleep, pleas for her friends to believe what she had said. After her fever had went down with Ringo's help, Ryouko awakes and immediately questions her about her coming into her room. Ringo passes her the form and even cooks porridge for her and takes care of her while she was sick. When Ringo wanted Ryouko to call her by her name as they were friends, Ryouko's mood changes and asks her when did she became her friend and asks her to leave. Seeing how determined Ryouko is on asking her to leave, Ringo complies but was thanked for by Ryouko who did call her name in the end. From that day onwards, Ringo seems to follow Ryouko around and sticks with her to the gym where the trainer tells Ryouko that she should take a rest as she was sick but Ryouko tells him that she wants to become strong as fast as possible. The trainer tells her that if she continues at this state, the strength that she would have would only be a short-lived one. After the session at the gym, Ryouko sees someone getting bullied and leaves Ringo behind to go forth and save the guy. Ryouko managed to land a few blows but was quickly outnumbered and had to be saved by Ringo who fakes the bullies that the police was coming. Ringo then treats Ryouko's injury and asks her why was she trying so hard to become strong. When Ryouko tells her that it wasn't of her concern, Ringo told her the phrase she heard when Ryouko spoke in her sleep, to ask someone to believe her words. Ryouko was taken aback by what she said but Ringo tells her to stop lying to herself and Ryouko was actually just a lonely person at heart, just like her who had just transferred into the neighbourhood. Ringo then asks Ryouko to be more of herself when with her which Ryouko eventually did and opened her heart to Ringo. Meanwhile, Ryoushi have always been pondering what exactly should he do now. While in school, he was always trying not to get into people's eyes by avoiding but one day his eyes caught sight of Ryouko and after days of observance, his love for her grew. During the day where he confessed to Ryouko, he was trying tell her that she was indeed a much more gentle person but Ryouko had already left after hearing only the first part of it. Ryoushi is now determined to protect Ryouko and not be the powerless on that stands far and being unable to protect the one he loves at all. He gets up and then goes to find Ryouko and tells her that she would have her putting her trust in him and confesses to her once again. Back in their room, Ringo have noticed that Ryouko's mood has changed for the better and confiscates her dinner to force her to tell her what had happened and she is indeed quite happy after hearing those words from Ryoushi but was too embarassed to say it to Ringo.

things get revealed rather fast where the flashbacks were slightly explained. and at least we get to know her past but not Ryoushi who like sat at the grass for the whole day?! .__. it was something out of the blue for him to confess to Ryouko once again and i wonder how their relationship would become if Ryouko had listened to Ryoushi's entire confession and realise that he has the same sharp eye as Ringo. half the series is down and i really can't see the ending yet =X

Highschool of the Dead 5

People who are still alive and important people are being taken out of the city through the airport and their families were also given priority to leave the city 1st. The runway was however blocked with zombies all crowding around, causing problems for the plane to take off as it is still potentially risky. Having a zombie grabbing on to the plane isn't an eliminated option and the possibility is still there. The problem was however quickly resolved with a duo sniping team, wiping out every single one of them and clearing the runway for the plane to take off. Meanwhile, Shizuka-sensei and the others were stuck in the bus due to a serious traffic jam and Shidou-sensei was still "brainwashing" the students who are following him. Takagi tells Himuro that the situation could get worse since people are all trying to move to the airport to leave the city but it was already too late for them as those cities with armed forces would not want more people to enter their city, all for survival's sake. Both Takagi and Saeko were worried about Takashi and Rei as well. While on the motorbike, Takashi and Rei continue to travel through the town and sees how crazy the world has become and the people are no exception. Seeing how people are killing the zombies and even opened fire at the both of them, Takashi concludes that everyone had killed too much and were already a little "crazy", just like them. The duo arrives at the bridge to cross over but Takashi quickly took a different route since he doesn't know how long it would take for them to be able to cross, seeing how packed the entire bridge was with vehicles. The police were enforcing their barricade very strongly, preventing the zombies from entering and urges the citizens not to force their way through and when some complacent students did, they were severely dealt with and were blasted into the river after getting hit by high pressured water. Back in the bus, the others started to feel irritated by Shidou-sensei and prefers to leave the bus and try and check on their families. Shizuka-sensei expresses her ill feelings for Shidou-sensei as well and the team prepares to leave the bus. Shidou-sensei spots them and asks them what they were planning to do. Takagi rebukes him that they had a different objective as them and that it would be pointless for them to stay. Shidou-sensei complies to their request but asks for Shizuka-sensei to stay due to her medical knowledge but Hirano stops him in his tracks after grazing him with his nail gun, telling him how he had kept his anger in for him for so long but now he is able to kill someone who is living and urges Shidou-sensei not to push him to do it. Takashi and Rei reaches another bridge but encounters the same problem as the other one and were unable to cross it. While thinking of a solution to cross the bridge and meet up with the rest, Rei thought that she heard a gunshot but Takashi thinks that the sound was from Hirano's nail gun instead and starts the motorbike to head in that direction. True enough, Saeko and the rest were fighting off the zombies but Hirano's nail gun was already running out of ammo and relying on Saeko alone would not be able to protect everyone. Just then, Takashi and Rei, on the motorbike, flies above their road and land on the higher ground where Saeko and the others were and starts to help exterminating the zombies. Together with Rei's lance, Takashi's motorbike skills, Saeko's tag team with Takashi and Hirano being equipped with Takashi's handgun, the group was now safe from danger and while making sure everyone was alright and that it was great to be all teamed up again, Hirano was still engrossed over the handgun that Takashi threw to him earlier. Seeing how it would be impossible to cross the river to check on their families, Shizuka-sensei suggests that they take a rest first at her friend's house where they have their rest and also possibly "take" the tank-look-a-like vehicle at that house and both Shizuka-sensei and Takashi goes off to check on the house first. Incidentally, Shizuka-sensei's friend would be one of the snipers protecting the airport.

no more recaps! :) truthfully speaking, i was really irritated about how Shidou-sensei speaks and seeing how Hirano had grazed him, i went "serve him right! :D" ... nothing good really happens to bad people eh. Thankfully, the team is now grouped up again and the scene where their teamwork fended the zombies off was really cool and i could have wanted more of those rather than just mindlessly scrapping all of them away like L4D. not much storyline could possibly develop from here since their main goal of it all would be to locate their parents and to confirm their safety AND also to survive as well. how everything could end in like 13/24/25/26 episodes really is something i think would be unexpected (provided they plan to remove all of the zombies but the manga isn't near there yet so probably not =X)
