This episode was mindbogglingly high quality, movie quality I daresay

I wonder if it’ll keep it up as the series goes on

I remember reading the manga ages ago, tho the quality dropped pretty heavily once they reached the village. Dropped it after that.

Damn, I didn’t come in with much in terms of expectations, but that was awesome. This may be the best new anime of the season. The animation was insanely high quality, hopefully we’re in for a treat with the rest of the anime. I really loved the part where everything went grayscale, and slowly became more and more colorful from the first zombie appearance. Also, those zombies are fast as fuck, lol.

High hopes for this one going forward.

I like it, the zombie apocalypse genre to me is not my liking but, the visual is amazing from the zombie design to the color of the blood being vibrant. The first half to me is the literal definition of a zombie employee in the workplace.

10/10 pilot episode

Black companies: crushing your dreams until you’re better off in a zombie apocalypse.

The episode was damn great. I love the usage of colours - black and white to show lifelessness, then colourful to show “you don’t need to work any more, and yes, this is real life”. They interact great with the multicoloured splotches of blood, I guess that they’ve made it this way to not screw with audience classification? Or just to throw the whole deal into the surreal.

fantastic first episode. Coming in blind, I kinda wonder if there’s gonna be more digs at work culture with the zombie parallels. As pointed out by KVin of SakugaBlog fame on twitter, the ZLM company is a pretty thinly-veiled reference to the studio OLM that BUG FILMS split off from (down to logo and office building). Seems like a lot of folks like the resignation scene but the other string of jokes I liked from this ep was that string of opposites in the MC’s narration where he mentions the employees being moved to tears, or health being a priority. It kinda feels like a lot of ground and variety was covered with different sorts of shots with everything moving at a brisk pace which was kinda overwhelming (probably the point) but also really impressive and kinda exhilarating, the energy levels kinda didn’t dip the whole 24 minutes.

Not gonna lie, the first half of the show was too real for me.

Very fun first episode!!

Love the art style and pacing of the episode. Looking forward to the next episodes.

also… Still warm 😳

The most unrealistic thing for me was the fact that the mc played rugby on uni was apparently really good since he remembers the public chearing for him and he never had a crush before ?

Out side of that loved it all the way.

From Haro Aso, the creator of Alice in Borderland, this is something very different.

As others have said, great use of color.

I would add, some nice wild animation styling for both the black office and freedom sequences.
