Im not so sure I wanna watch it anymore ... I kinda suspect it could be one of those clusterfuck tragedies like school days or Gantz (although im not sure if there was a second season of gantz)

I like zombie movies ... but anime can be so much more brutally tragic than typical zombie movies and I think there is probably a 50% chance of it ending "ok" (in which people you really weren't rooting for die and the people (or person) you liked the most live) and a 50% chance of a total fucking tragedy in which everyone dies very gruesome deaths crying to be saved while they get torn limb from limb ... but only after you get attached to their extremely lovable characters (that were purposefully designed to inflict the most sadness to the watcher) ...

So i guess long story short ... i may puss out :P ...

Its a decent series so far, I like the manga better, but its awesome watching the thing animated.

Some dubs, are just awesome. No matter how bad they are, outtakes make them awesome.

Berserk is the ONLY Anime I've been able to watch with English Dubs.

They're already making large chunks of flashback, and it's only episode 4....

Honestly i didn't get into anime until after high school, i always had the conception that it was lame to watch and uncool ... I was only half wrong.

Also the 6th episode seems to be up ...

I think its more down to the situation,Although everyone knows that running zombies are scarier.

Episode 6 kinda sucked ... little plot advancement ...

(although they did find some guns ... which is a survival +1)

I guess I feel that there is too much fan service ... way to much ... if I was a girl, I certainly wouldn't be spending the first night taking a bath while cheerfully groping other girls, or walk around half naked in an apartment ...

I'd be too busy cowering in fear in some locked room, trying to be extremely quiet, and unable to fall asleep ...

Sometimes fan service is a little too much ... But that's ok because its provides a bit of a "intensity break" that makes the situation less dramatic ...
