Episode 3

Everyone's Reactions

Watching Sakura awaken and everyone yelling "SAKURAaaa!", I felt like joining in the shout myself. The soundtrack even features strumming on a seven-string guitar, which I heard was brewed with some alcohol because they felt it lacked that 'drunk' energy when sober. It makes me happy knowing they put so much sincerity into it. There were voices saying this episode would make you cry, and while it's about looking for the photo shop, I didn't expect it to tug at my heartstrings this much. I also liked how Aki brought back what looked like a generator from the home center, only for it to turn out to be a doll. Seeing it blown up in the anime compared to its tiny depiction in the manga made me feel relieved that they're paying attention to the source material. While we keep joking about her zombie-slaying game, I can't help but worry she'll forget to secure gas and oil. I'm starting to think she's just going to keep digging up the same spot over and over again.
