Takashi and company attempt to get to the school bus and runs into other survivors along the way. Yeah, let's all pose as if someone is making a video of us. Running through zombies is an excellent group exercise. Summary: After learning from the TV news that the whole world has fallen into chaos, Takashi and company plot their next move and they decide to get to the school bus in the parking lot. To get to the bus, the group has to move through the front doors, and the group manage to sneak by and fight through the zombies and along the way they pick up another band of surviving students. Serenity in midst of the chaos. At least she seems to know how to drive a manual, unlike myself. The now larger group of students make their way outside of the school and dash towards the bus. Two students are killed by the zombie, but most of the group makes it to the bus. As Shizuka starts the bus, the survivors notice another band of students led by teacher Koichi Shido. Rei hates Shido because of some past event and tells her fellow survivors to ditch him, but Shido's group makes it onto the bus and Shizuka drives out of the school, plowing through dozens of zombies in the process. The good ol' "using someone else as the bait" trick. Thank you! Thank you! Next up, I will tell you why I should rule the world. The survivors drive into town and see that the city is in burning and in chaos. On the bus, Shido starts preaching about how the group needs a leader and manages to win over the students who are not in Takashi's group. Rei eventually has had enough of Shido and gets off the bus near a tunnel and Takashi follows after her. Takeshi tries to convince Rei to tolerate Shido until the group leaves the city, but suddenly a commuter bus filled with zombies loses control, flips over and blocks Takeshi and Rei into the tunnel. Takashi tells Saeko that they'll rendezvous at the police station at 7pm and he and Rei leaves through the other side of the tunnel as the commuter bus explodes. After surviving the explosion, Takashi is attacked by a helmet-wearing zombie but is saved by Rei. The two then finds the zombie's motorcycle nearby and they ride back into the city together. Zombie barbecue. That's a rather crappy helmet. And yet again, we have another new ED song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another enjoyable episode. Running away from and bashing zombies haven't gotten old yet, but then again we are only three episodes in. This episode introduces the first questionable character in the form of Koichi Shido, a homeroom teacher from the school. He is trying to survive like everyone else, but things about his demeanor (stomping a student in the face during escape and preaching about how he should be the leader) give off a threatening feeling about the guy. The message of "not to be trusted" is written all over Shido's face, but most of the students that the main group picked up this episode seem to be sheep and bought into Shido's fancy suit and speech. Desperate people make desperate, but not necessarily the smartest, decisions. The arrival of Shido already put some of the survivors in jeopardy as Takeshi and Rei are separated from the others. Rei probably has every right to be pissed at Shido, but she should have tolerated him long enough for the group to get to relative safety out of town. It's much easier to survive with numbers, but the development does give Rei and Takashi some alone time for the two to rebuild their relationship. Last thing to mention about the characters in this episodes is that Shizuka actually showed a surprising amount of resolve. She ran over zombies and told the group to stop arguing. I guess she is not just an air-head with jiggling boobs and is capable of asserting herself when necessary. Looks like next episode will be devoted to Takashi and Rei going out on their date in zombie-land. I'm a bit more interested on what's going on in the bus, but I guess the series will save that for later. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time
