I am so glad that I dropped this when they went to the island.
I was hoping to pick it back up and then the ending came out of nowhere holy shit

>>280133230 (OP)
Did they have zombie sex?

I appreciate how Chihiro doesn't act like a faggot and has actual bite, even likes to annoy Rea for fun and does his own thing.
>>280133273
I found it entertaining all the way through but yeah the island was a bit boring. I loved the part where Rea starts to lose her sanity and go full zombie, felt like a reference to a loved one who gets a degenerative disease.
>>280133311
Yes he even got to play with her intestines. Chihiro is into very fucked up shit

I feel like we need a return to the magical gf tropes. Lately its isekai this, isekai that. But I liked the story where the heroine was a monstergirl or supernatural of sorts and the guy had to navigate this secret new world he discovered by her side.

Rea is so beautiful!

Would anon care for a daily Sankarea thread?

It was a really enjoyable OP song. This manga had soul!

>>280133339
>Chihiro literally mixes up her guts
metaphors!

>>280134672
I really liked it, the anime was amazing too. Had such fun atmosphere and Rea seems like she'd be a really cute girlfriend

>>280134483
I still have it in my playlist.

>>280133230 (OP)
I have soft spot for Sankarea. The year it came out in 2012 was towards tail end of what I felt was a big explosion in quality anime from the late 2000s to the early 2012s.
After that was the mid-2010s (and onwards, to this day) era of isekaislop. Which is not to say that Sankarea is some kind of a masterpiece. It isn't. But it came out towards the end of a much better era of anime.
Sankarea also represented a time when /a/ and 4chan in general was much better. This was back before election tourists began settling into 4chan after being kicked out of every other place and settling here to this day and making the place much worse. Funnily enough, behaving much like real-life refugees :^).

Also, I always have to say it, the ED is particularly incredible. Amazing visuals, ambiance, and music by Annabel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngo7PUdsxj8

So did Rea!

>>280134911
Funnily enough, it's right next to Choir Jail on mine.

>>280134061
Sure why not.

>>280135174
I started jacking off to the "plot" but stayed for the plot!
>>280134915
Right? It brings me back to a time before my parents divorce and the economy went to shit. It takes me back

Still have the BDs and mangas in JP

>>280135406
Nice, anon! I wish more anime like Sankarea were made

>>280135323
It's interesting how so much just went to shit in the mid-2010s.
As I wrote in the previous post, Sankarea came out in the tail end of an quality era. It came out in 2012.
You know what else came out in 2012?
Sword Art Online. It's what started the ongoing isekaislop rut ruining anime. That was the beginning of the end.
Also, here's another funny coincidence: ReZero came out in 2016. It's funny how so many different aspects of the world turned to shit that year.

>>280135532
I tolerate Re:Zero only because it gave us Rem. I am a sucker for romance stories, particularly if they involve loss or sacrifice and Re:Zero provides that but damn if the protagonist isn't a huge faggot.
I like Sankarea's Chihiro because the guy doesn't just lie down and take it like the modern protagonist bitches we get nowadays.

>>280133230 (OP)
Doesn't the FL get completely Cucked in this? This is one of the few manga where the childhood friend win And one of the few with an incest ending.

>>280135651
Not that I remember, it was a straight manga and there wasn't as much ntr at the time. It was a better time.

>>280135793
She absolutely di anon. The manga ended with her alone as an immortal zombie and the ML marrying his cousin. It was the inescapable logical conclusion to her being a zombie, they legit had no future together.

>>280135991
>The manga ended with her alone as an immortal zombie
No, that's just a parallel world Rea. That chapter is not canon.

I never forgot it since I really, really like NANOrape.
The direction of the series also stood out for me, but I haven't watched it in like 10 years, so I can't be for certain now. Overall I liked it.

>>280134424
Already happened.

>>280135991
>It was the inescapable logical conclusion to her being a zombie, they legit had no future together.
They do have a future together though. They won't have children for sure and Chihiro will die before Rea, but why does it matter? There are plenty of couples like that in fiction.

We need more necrophilia anime

>>280136925
In general I miss the old magical girlfriend such as Oh My Goddess or Sankarea where there was a bit of the supernatural in the modern world but it was still mostly like our world. No cheap D&D fantasy slop but an actually original romance between a normal man and the girl who brought all the supernatural shenanigans to his life.

>>280137393
Same, Rea was the best

>>280138649
truye

>>280133230 (OP)
Would she be a good girlfriend?

>>280138881
No, she only wants her freedom and goes crazy quite easily

>>280133230 (OP)
This had a really good dub
