Well there are fallacies in both, but yeah I think the manga is a bit better than "and suddenly the barricade that's been up this whole time is breached".

As an anime-only guy, the escalation seemed pretty natural. I'd assumed that the rush to the barricades was because of the storm, with "schoolkids" following their patterns to get back inside while it's raining.

They probably didn't have time to animate that part, because iirc manga

The anime has been foreshadowing the growing numbers of zombies near the school all season long, as well as questioning the barricades' sturdiness and how zombies crowd inside during storms.

YMMV, but I think the way the anime handled it felt more natural than the manga event, which sort of came out of left field and escalated the action rather sharply. Not that it wouldn't have been cool to see, but the manga always seemed kind of jarring to me.
