I’m super hyped for this series because it was one of the few manga that I just sort of picked up on a whim based on the premise and cover and it was an absolute delight. Not long after reading a few chapters I found out an anime was coming so for once I’m ahead of the curve! No need for me to wait for Grant or Mommy’sbasement to put out a video this season!
Overall this absolutely blew my expectations away. They rearranged the first few chapters a bit to make it more actiony, but they did it to help with on screen pacing and that’s the kind of adaptation I think more anime should do when transitioning. Then there is the animation. It looks great, things are fairly fluid, dynamic, and best of all was that surprise use of color for the blood.
The story is mostly the same as what I’ve already read and I just love the premise. The idea that our hero worked for a company that was so toxic and soul crushing that the end of the world feels like a vacation to him is such a fun premise.
One warning though is that the series definitely takes inspiration from the schlocky zombie movies of the past. So while the hero is light and bubbly and there are fun cartoony antics, there is a good amount of death, sexy nudity, and violence. Like there is some stuff that could easily be framed as edgy or genuinely gruesome and depressing stuff if it didnt just roll of the main characters shoulders like water off a ducks back.
Overall this is a series that is going to get a lot of attention and hype especially since there arent a lot of non-sequel big names this summer season.
