That said, you have to wonder, when does leaving your established base of operation become the correct move when it comes to overall survival? Supplies will eventually run out and if it’s clear that help isn’t coming, when do you have to take the initiative to save yourself? Some of which are questions I don’t have an answer to, but would love to hear your opinions down in the comments. From gathering food and water to making sure they had working plumbing, it seems like a paradise when you’re talking about places to holdout in during an epidemic. Getting back on track, you have to really give some props to Miki and Kei for all the work they did getting their safe room setup. Something that would probably be difficult to show in an anime with only 12 episodes. Because when you really think about it, it took a lot of time a bit of cabin fever to really push Miki toward leaving her safe room. Still hitting the main points that Kei wants to leave and our trio goes to the mall and happens to find Miki, they’ve even given MIki a reason to leave through Taroumaru’s accidental escape.

Sure, it’s a little more difficult to believe just two girls (and Taroumaru now) were able to find and setup their own base of operations amongst all the chaos without the help of a slightly larger group, but the story’s managed to condense a lot of information in a way that doesn’t feel like its overburdening us. I for one have no hard feelings with the changes to Miki’s back story thus far.
