Sankarea - Episode 5


Chihiro's dream is now a reality.

I'll be honest here, this episode was quite bland, compared to the previous four, and could arguably be called a filler, save for the last part at the end where Rea and Ranko finally meet. Speaking of that scene, I found it... um... both surprising and disturbing at the same time, I guess (read: I'm not a big fan of yuri). Despite this, the episode did have its moments, albeit the lack of Rea was quite disappointing. On the bright side, I learned that rigor mortis actually goes away after a certain period of time. Apparently, anime is sometimes educational.

Seeing as how nothing really noteworthy happened in the episode, it's time for some random speculations. First off, now that Ranko has seen Rea, how will she end up reacting? My guess is that she'll begin by freaking out and bombarding Chihiro with questions before finally calming down and listening to what he has to say. But then this begs the question: What will Ranko do after finding out that Rea is indeed a zombie? Will she be able to keep her mouth shut? Or will this end up becoming a rumour that is spread throughout Shiryō High School and Sanka Girls Academy? Also, how would the Sanka family react if they found out their beloved little girl is now a zombie? Furthermore, what would Mr. Sanka do to Chihiro if the two end up meeting face to face? Knowing the crazy old man, all I can say is that Chihiro better be prepared to run; who knows what horrors he will be subject to if he ends up being caught.

In the end, these are all just questions and assumptions. Personally, I would enjoy seeing an episode focusing on a meeting between Chihiro and Danichirō, obviously with Chihiro prevailing when all is said and done. But most of all, the future episodes better have more Rea in them or I'll be one unhappy viewer.
