Gakkou Gurashi! – Live Action Movie – Final Review

December 13, 2021 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Believe it or not, Gakkou Gurashi was popular enough to receive a live action movie. You might be wondering, aren’t anime live actions usually bad? When the west tries to adapt Japanese manga/anime into a live action, the result ends up disastrous. Still, I didn’t expect too much from this since the live action movie of Gakkou Gurashi is an abridged version of the anime. What I saw was surprising.

Note: This review contains anime/manga spoilers for the school arc. I highly suggest watching the anime or read the school arc first before reading this review.

Gakkou Gurashi! – Final Review

October 18, 2021 by Chikorita157 2 Comments

Since Halloween is coming, I decided that it’s probably a great time to review Gakkou Gurashi. Despite being a Manga Time Kirara title and a schoolgirl series, it’s not your typical one. Sure, the first episode seems deceiving, but it throws a zombie apocalypse into the mix.

While there is also a live action movie, which I will review later, I wonder how the anime turns out.
