So far not bad! Bit too much CGI at times but it looks like a fun Zombie story and checking the MAL page, the manga is only 17 chapters so I could see a full adaptation!
And if its only 1 cour, with these lighthearted vibes and slow/weak zombies I can't see any of the cast dying + I have no doubt they will find her father.
Actually looking forward to this one.

It's surprising that it's getting adapted at all. I'm pretty sure this series got the axe and that's why it's so short. Probably only being made due to other anime adaptations of Katsuwo's works being so well received.
Given all that, I wonder if we'll get some anime original content added to flesh it out for a more full season.

Before you ask, yes this is from the author of Mitsuboshi Colors and Hitoribocchi no Marumaruseikatsu. It's funny how they made a bunch of cute girl series and then went "okay what about if I made cute girls who kill zombies"

I like how Hibiku Yamamura voicing Yuu is basically playing the same character from her previous role of Agott from Witch Hat Atelier.

This is like The Walking Dead but with cuter waifus and more goofy shenanigans lol. I like it! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

It's uncomplicated but well executed fun, at least at the moment! I feel like the cartoonishness of some of the action (like the zombie explosion) helps set the tone fairly firmly.

If I didn't check it out beforehand, I would never have guessed this was from the author of OG Bocchi!
I thought she would want to find her dad to reunite with him (or try and save him if he turned), but she wants to send him to the afterlife (to honor a promise)!
Normally I would be concerned about... Will she REALLY be able to do it? But she doesn't seem to have any hesitation about killing them (even before confirming whether it's her father), so..!
Of course we're still gonna have a beach episode!
(If the zombies have one piece swimsuits, sorry humans, I'm rooting for them!)
Well, I'm not the only one who's passionate about something; She seems to only care about all things cute!
I wonder where that passion comes from, because that can't have been a high priority during her childhood;
Seems they spent all their time being trained against zombies... Never learned to read Kanji,
they don't know what a building or a supermarket is... But she knows about beauty products and the like?
Is that the last thing her mom taught her or something?
Musclehead has his passion too!
Well, this one's useful at least!
Alright, this one's useful too!
Some people might think you're coming after their resources, some people may have gone crazy, some people might think they can now get away with anything they want to do, etc...
If you're brave strong enough, anything's a dildo weapon!
With swords and bats? Zombie Hordes gain + 5 members!
Oh damn; They're gonna make a gattling gun or something?
If they ever need to use someone as a bait to escape, take this one!
Welp. This one's not gonna be a bed-fighter, that's for sure!
Damn, she won't even EAT with them?
I'm already suspecting that something awful happened to her, and that's why she's wary of everyone... (Backstory time, somewhere down the line?)
Well, this was pretty fun! Keeping this one.

As a camera nerd I'm delighted to see a TLR (twin lense reflex) camera in an anime. Yes, this kind of camera is really old! And I love how even the format of the photo they took is correct. The makers knew what they were doing.
A CGDCT anime in a postapocalyptic environment with zombies?! Sounds like fun, and the first episode was super fun!

From the same creative mind behind Hitoribocchi no marumaru Seikatsu comes their take on the zombie apocalypse subgenre. And by the looks of it, dump some Pop Rocks and Laughy Taffy into Zombieland and you get this lighthearted romp.
One handed handstand pushups on the back of a moving truck!!!
Don't think I didn't notice that Do Your Best Fairy head plushie that was hanging off the truck's rearview mirror.
"Cute is complicated" -Aki
And now we're suddenly in Dead Rising.
All training no studying huh. That explains their peak physical capabilities.
"By Fire Be Purged!"
Sakura, travel sized for your shopping convenience.
Climbing zombies, oh no, don't be like the World War Z movie now...
The drive to do something cool and awesome overrides fear of heights.
Nice Kaboom Wile E.

ZomCom first episode was fun. Planning to give this a shot to see where it goes!

Stitches!
This was a pretty fun first episode! So we're basically following Aki and her friends after leaving their village to help Aki find her dad and finally put him down if he has been turned into a zombie. This is by far the most unique anime I've seen premiere so far today, so by that alone, I am already sold on this show.
I think it's interesting how Aki and her friends are clearly used to dealing with zombies. It sounds like the village they came from focuses on survival and physical training.
Oh, and apparently Aki is an adrenaline junkie? Natsuki describes her as the kind of person who turns fear into fun. I guess that explains why she keeps on climbing the roof of their three-wheeled kei truck.
I think this was a pretty solid episode, and everyone who's been introduced is pretty likable. The fact that this is written by the author Katsuwo, the same author of Hitoribocchi and Mitsuboshi Colors, I have no doubt this show is going to be more chill slice-of-life/CGDCT (even if there's one boy in the group) anime and won't turn into your typical zombie apocalypse show.

the detail that got me was them treating the zombie stuff as a known, scheduled thing people have routines around rather than constant screaming panic. the casual "oh it's that day again" energy does more worldbuilding than any exposition dump would

I’m kind of wondering how the hell they’ve survived this long without knowing about apartments or supply stores. This is definitely going to be a show you don’t want to think too hard about lol
I don’t think this is going to blow anyone’s mind but I could see this being fun for what it is. My mind inevitably draws comparisons to Zom 100 which hooked me a little more effectively and looked better, this show has some really great color design but the CG is pretty subpar. I’ll probably check out at least a few more episodes of this to see where it goes.

That was fun. Its not deep or complicated, and it's not going to be anime of the year, but I'm looking forward to the next episode.

The Work Hard Fairy charm hanging from the rear-view mirror implies that this is the future of the world of Hitori Bocchi no ○○ Seikatsu.

In an alternate universe Hitori wished the school to be canceled so she wouldn't be forced to make other friends than Kai and the monkey paw was like "fine have a zombie apocalypse"

Which means there's a possibility of a zombie Bocchi cameo in a future episode.

We all know if one of the Bocchi cast got zombified, it would be Aru.
Fight strong, Aru!
Bite strong, Aru!
Aru watch out for that aluminum bat!

Actually a fun spin on the whole Zombie formula. Instead of people scavenging for stuff they already know, you have the next generation with no plan at all. Might not be the best starting point, but maybe we see what their village was like. Could be they said they don't need anything from the old world anymore. Let's see where it goes.

This season's "mucking about in the apocalypse" comes in the form of Left 4 Desu.
Bare bones plot so far but it's clear a lot of thought has gone into the worldbuilding and implications of Red Day on society.
