My brother and I just finished the last episode of Gakkou Gurashi (School Live). I don't really want to give away spoilers, but I will say that we loved this series. ^-^
I love how it left the viewer with a sense of hope. It was uplifting, unlike most zombie movies and series. I mean, The Walking Dead was always bleak, but with the 6th season, I just couldn't handle it anymore. And High School of the Dead was "hopeful" in terms of leaving the viewer with a sense of empowerment, even though they ended up without shelter or their car anymore. But School Live ended the same way, but felt so much more hopeful and positive. Definitely a series that won't make me feel worse for the rest of the day...which isn't something I can usually say about a zombie themed series. ^^;
What is stupid, is that it took me all the way until last episode to figure out why Yuki's uniform was different from everyone else's. ~.~;;;;;;;;; She's one of those "scatter-brained" archetypes who forgets about the seasonal uniform change. She probably wore her school's summer uniform, when they were supposed to switch to the fall uniform. I think those green uniforms are for fall. They look autumn-like.
Seeing this series after Dramatical Murder, I kept noticing the Nitro+ credit at the very end of each episode and wondering if this anime was based on a visual novel, or vice versa...? Well, my brother immediately went online and found a Gakkou Gurashi manga. By the condition of Miki’s patched eye, and their talk of a helicopter crash, the manga sounds much more harsh. o_O
