Jeez, the end of a zombie flick. It can end one of three ways.

The first way – the zombie apocalypse is ended and zombies are wiped out of existence. People live on, but never forget the crisis narrowly averted. This of course pisses off zombie fanatics, who mostly want to see the carnage continue as long as possible. This leaves them dissatisfied.

The second way – the zombies win. Game over, everyone’s dead / undead. This pisses off the people who personified with the characters and got into the series as well as the anti-emo brigade who’s sick of everything being so damn negative. This ending leaves these groups dissatisfied.

The third way – no real ending. A “to be continued (but not really)” in which its seen as the characters continuing to fight endlessly against equally endless hordes of undead. Everyone is pissed off that the series doesn’t actually end, but at least nobody is left dissatisfied at the invasion’s end as it isn’t really told.

The writers seem to have gone with door number three, maybe because the manga isn’t over and hasn’t concluded the plot in either success or defeat, or maybe because the producers wanted to go with the lowest common denominator.

Either way, I don’t really care about the series, I just wanted to analyze the ending.

Huh. I never realized how many people didn’t like this show. I thought it was perfect for a zombie series. Since its based in a world that have existing zombie movies already, it showed that even when confronted with something they all know pretty well, humanity still can’t help itself from screaming and running away. I enjoyed the hell out of this show, that nuke-launch really got me. I guess its only dissapointing for those who’ve read the manga…

Some people said this anime was scrapped,boring, terrible… When i put this anime right before my resident evil live action movies (not the games)i largely prefer HOD… There are more action, mot characters who not serves only five seconds to disappears finally completely (dead or not) and they have a personnality and more important a background… Yes, it’s not a Romero movie and it will not be… Yes, it’s a zombie story (again but not frequently see in the world of anime), it as plenty of …

I don’t see why your bitching about it. If it simply doesn’t interest you don’t watch it, simple as that. I know 1 viewer won’t affect this anime Maybe the creator doesn’t want it to be “Resident Evilish”. Hell I love this anime . P.S~~~~ You would have to be gay if you don’t like this 1. There’s hot girl with hot guns 2. There’s quiet a bit funny scenes
