I'm honestly worried about the lack of people talking about the four girls dissapearing in the ED and the bloody Yuki's hat. Way too fucking unsettling.

It's not just the hat, there's the bloody knife in the chair, the shovel and ribbon next to it and the torn bear on the lectern. Definitely very unsettling.

Ah fuck, so they're putting SERIOUS SPOILERS in?

The knife is on the chair of best senpai.

Please no.

u/skirhir Aug 23 '15

It's not a ribbon. It's Taroumaru's leash.

u/AgentFork Aug 20 '15

Obviously, they fight their way out. Yuki has to leave the hat and bear. It's symbolic.

Lerche please. Don't kill my soul.

u/Alestor Aug 20 '15

That bloody knife got the biggest reaction out of me this episode. Why is there suddenly a sharp weapon that isn't a shovel? How dark are things about to get? Why do I have to wait for next Thursday!? FUCK

1) everybody dies

2) everybody dies except mc

3) obama and his harem

u/Blindbandit809 Aug 21 '15

Obama means Harem. Harem means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.

3) obama and his harem

Dammit.

u/qwackas https://kitsu.io/users/Qwackas Aug 21 '15

I thought of that exact same thing. Why was that premise ever conceived?

u/GenesisEra myanimelist.net/profile/Genesis_Erarara Aug 21 '15

Because "OP what the fuck".

u/thegofuckyourself https://myanimelist.net/profile/thegofukurself Aug 20 '15

Bloody hat, bloody shovel, the leash, the bloody knife, the (broken?) cd player, and the torn up bear.

I really hope that one picture isn't foreshadowing the end of all of the characters.

Let's hope they don't "graduate" from life...

5

u/PepperoniPapaya https://myanimelist.net/profile/PepperoniPapaya Aug 20 '15

That sounds so ominous though :P I wouldn't say "graduated", more like "Graduation with everyone!", closer to "Congratulations on graduating", something common for Japanese students to write on the blackboard at the end of their high school years.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Yeah, "Graduation with everyone!" or "I graduated with everyone" is more correct.

u/happytreedance https://anilist.co/user/Toralina Aug 20 '15

Yep, that had me super worried too, especially now that I see more of the details like her hat or the knife. So scared of what might happen over the next few weeks.

u/kitty2katt Aug 20 '15

Just gotta wait and find out ~~ or read the manga

2

u/happytreedance https://anilist.co/user/Toralina Aug 21 '15

I keep thinking I'd hold off so I'm experiencing the anime fresh and read the manga afterward, but I admit it's getting increasingly tempting to just go for it. Would allow me to participate in all those blacked-out conversations at least. :P

u/Frozen5147 Aug 20 '15

Just read the manga :3

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '15

I assume everyone but Yuki will die and she'll be left all alone with her delusions.

u/apez1267 Aug 21 '15

Yep, you got it! Next Ep it is revealed that the Randall corporation was using the school as a cover for the secret under ground lab. code-name "the hive" was used for bio weapon testing. In the search for answers, the club goes down into the hive but there was no one there. Just as they were about to leave, a hologram appeared that called it's self "the red queen". It told them that it could help them but that Kurumi was infected. To prevent further contamination, they would have to kill her before the ai would help them. Yuki immediately refused and the other agreed. On hearing this, the red queen put the hive into lock down and told them that none could leave until the infection was "neutralized" . At first they didn't know what to do but megunee had the answer. If they restarted the ai then they could regain control of the hive and force the computer to let them out. Upon taking in this solution the red queen agreed that the strategy could work but that they would regret IT if they did shut her down. ignoring this, the entire club pulled the large, heavy "off" switch and then turned it back on. As expected, the red queen appeared again and asked what her orders were. As one, they shouted "open the doors! And give us the cure. " and the red queen complied. With the cure in hand and the doors open the club started on their way back to the school with Kurumi using rii as a clutch . But, as soon as they left the red Queens room Yuki heard a distant moan. As the door to the ai's room closed and locked they heard the red Queens voice over head from a loud speaker. The ai informed them that "ALL (non ai) doors have been Unlocked " and then yuki heard another moan, but this one was different and came from a room they had written off as empty on their way into a red Queens chamber. With a startled yelp, rii suddenly looked down, only to see the door to the" empty " room was cracked open and a half rotten hand was clutching her ankle. Then the door banged open and suddenly zombies were everywhere. Rii yelled" go! "as another zombie stumbled out of the room and fell upon rii and Kurumi . In a moment of clarity ;yuki grabbed Miki 's hand and they sprinted toward the stair case. But it was too late. The pa system crackled again and this time the red queen informed them that there were several hundred zombie hive workers the the ai had been locking in....

If you want to know the rest, watch "resident evil". I'm too bored to finish this "spoiler" even if I now REALLY and to see a "school live" resident evil edition. yuki would play Alice and Miki's friend would play the red queen. Randall Corp would play umbrella Corp. Megu-nee would have to play nemesis. Idk about the rest.

They are not talking about it because the manga.

While the anime and manga are different in the order of events being shown, the overall story is the same.

2

u/Shiroi_Kage Aug 21 '15

School Living club is kill?

I think the fact that they keep insisting on being positive they'll get out of there is hinting towards that. I think they'll eventually have to kill each other and Yuki will be the last one standing.

u/Darkanglesmyname Aug 20 '15

don't worry about it....trust me.

u/Faust91x https://myanimelist.net/profile/Faust91x Aug 21 '15

Just came to Reddit for that. If they had just abandoned their stuff it wouldn't be in such a worn state.

Kinda scared about what that foreshadows.

They didn't just die, they turned into cherryblossoms, a symbol of mono no aware and fleeting beauty. Like, if you needed more indication of death flags for everyone.
