had the time to catch up with the other series before i go into work overload mode again =XMitsudomoe now begins to play with mucus in the 2nd episode @.@ ewww...... spinning your teacher and your arm around to lump the mucus together isn't cool at all ._. its still a good entertainment series although it kinda lacked humour in the 2nd episode as compared with the 1st. hopes epi 3 would go well...
Shiki's trailer was cool and mysterious, and an anticipated series for me... guess it didn't turn out as well as Angel Beats! did... the 1st episode was mysterious enough, but pace-wise, it was rather boring. The story revolves around a girl, Megumi who lives in the countryside and absolutely hates the village she lives in, due to her feeling that the village wasn't suited for her kind of trend. For her, she wants to leave the village as soon as possible with her grades and she too, has a crush on a teen in the village, Yuki. Things weren't as simple since Yuki doesn't like Megumi at all and ignores her when she attempts to start a conversation. The village is old with traditional houses, except a new European-styled house being built up in the hill. Megumi was interested in it and one day, she decided to take a look after hearing that a family had moved in. Megumi then didn't return home and when she was found lying on the ground, she had already suffered some huge blood loss and passes away the next day. So theres it, the "main" girl dies... in the 1st episode, and a cliffhanger as well. Since the title of the series is Shiki (Corpse Demon), she'll most probably be the demon that kills? and questions are popping out already from the 1st episode, wad's with the European-building and the family that lives inside, whom Megumi had met and then passed on... will see how the series goes but the 1st episode wasn't really enticing at all.
High School of the Dead 2
In the hectic situation, Saya was now stuck with a plump dude, Kouta. Kouta suggests that they go to find the other teachers but Saya showed him the consequence of the students thinking the same thing as Kouta. The duo now attempts to make their way out to safety and meanwhile, Takashi and Rei are still staying at the rooftop and Rei tries to contact her father again, who is a policeman. As the emergency hotline is overloaded, Rei decides to call a private number and successfully contacted her father. Her father however was unable to recognise Rei's voice but tells her to get to somewhere safe as the whole city is now in chaos. In the school infirmary, another student had turned into a zombie after being attacked and the teacher there now confirms that those who are bitten once will turn into zombies. The student with the teacher, Shizuka-sensei, requested for her to leave quickly but they were soon surrounded by zombies, only to be saved by Saeko, a student with a wooden sword. She later helps to end the life of the student who was bitten after protecting Shizuka-sensei, who requested to be killed while he was still himself. Saya and Kouta then went to lock themselves up in a room but the zombies found them pretty soon but Kouta had already built a nail gun rifle from the parts that Saya had grouped together and successfully fend off the incoming zombies. At the same time, Takagi and Rei decides to use a water hose to drive away the zombies and with the high pressured water, the zombies stand no chance and the duo rushes forward and take down those in front of them. In the hallway, Saya throws a drenched cloth at a zombie and then at a wall, testing the zombie's abilities and senses. It turns out that the zombies' senses are already dead and relies on sound to find their prey. Soon after, Saya and Kouta were cornered and the nail gun rifle had already run out of ammo. A zombie closed in on Saya and while she screamed at it to go away, she reaches for a nearby tool to protect herself. Takagi, Rei, Saeko and Shizuka-sensei then came running towards Saya's location after hearing her scream, only to see her hands holding tightly to a electric drill. The rest quickly defeats the remaining zombies and introduces themselves to each other as they're most likely going to be working together from then onwards. Saya finally couldn't hold in much longer and breaks down on Saeko after seeing how the world around her has become.
couldn't really see the drill coming towards the zombie, bet it was too gruesome to be shown... and now the survivors should be all grouped up and probably fighting their way out of the school soon. Didn't expect Kouta to be experienced in guns and stuff, his nail gun mod ver. really did helped out. with the whole city in the same situation as the school, it would be interesting to see how the plot develops and how it ends. it wouldn't be just massacring zombies now and then... its getting rather normal to see them being killed off ._.
