Sankarea - Ep09



This episode they did something strange because in the last episode Chihiro got kidnapped by Dan'ichirou. Normally you would expect them to continue for that point but instead they have us focus in on Mero, who is Chihiro's little sister. It seems like they are almost intentionally trying to extent the length of the series. Anyway after a short scene between Mero and her father, the story moves forward to explaining what Mero's life is like at school. That apparently she is friends with two girls at school. The first one is Shinoda Ichie who is obsessed with the idea that zombies really do exist and it just the government is hiding this fact from the people. While her other friend Yasaka Miko, doesn't seem to care one way or the other.

This leads to Ichie telling them a story about there art teacher Yamanouchi, it appears that she has been feeding something that is living inside a bag. When Ichie mentions this, it cause Mero to recall that she has seen the bag moving and concludes that what ever is inside must be alive. Ichie declares that it must be a zombie, and decides that they must investigate. While investigating they get caught by their teach, and find out that she has been bring her pet alligator to school. Since it is late she decides to take them home.

The next day Ichie continues in her pursuit of zombies, and this leads to Miko telling her a story. It turns out that one day on her way home she notice something that smelt like burning bodies. When she follow where the smell was coming from she found a house that had a trash can fill to the brim with bone where it looked like the meat was freshly torn off. It turns out this horror story ended up having nothing to do with zombies that the couple that live there was making plans to open a ramen shop. This disappoints Ichie, but to cheer her up Mero tells her about the zombie that they have living with them. When ask if that is safe she tells them that she is a vegetarian zombie, and it is her brother that told her the she is a zombie. This totally destroys any hopes that Ichie might have had of finding a real zombie. Although this story was mostly pointless it was still nice in furthering the development of another character.
