01x02 - Bucket List of the Dead

[bunniefuu]

What?

You woke up with a -degree fever?

So what?

Man, I wonder if we'll meet our deadline.

You think you're gonna die from overwork?

Come talk to me
when you're actually dead!

No one leaves until we're all done!

Quit dozing off, Tendo!

Get up, you jerk!

I'm sorry, Chief!

What the...

Oh yeah, I...

don't have to go to work anymore.

Good morning!

My three years' worth of vacation time
starts today.

I'm gonna have so much fun!

All right!
Three years' worth of cleaning, done!

Clean house,

clean mind, huh?

I can't remember
the last time I felt this good.

All right.

I've been looking forward to this.

This is so good!

Who knew skipping work and drinking beer
in the morning would taste so good?!

This is holy water!
No. It's the drink of the gods.

The guilty pleasure of drinking beer
on what would normally be a work day!

The freedom from work and obligations.

If this isn't heaven,
then I don't know what is.

This is an aerial footage of Tokyo.

Fires are blazing everywhere!

I still can't believe this is happening!

Even our studio is in danger
of being overrun by workers

who have turned into the living dead!

Internet and telecommunications are down,

and the government
has not made any announcement!

We don't know
if the government is still functioning...

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

I guess

things are pretty bad out there.

I wonder what will happen now.

But for me, today is beer day!

I'm gonna stay put in my room
with a cold beer in my hand

and embrace my inner degenerate
and rejuvenate myself after three years!

It's decided!

They're gone!

No way! What?

They're all gone!
Don't tell me that was the last one!

I've run out.

Of all the times to run out of beer.

But I was gonna slack off today.
Now I have to go on a beer run?

What a pain in the ass.

But...

I can't bum around

without you!

I have no choice.

KOSAKA

The police, the armed forces...
No one's coming to help us.

What are we supposed to do?

Don't give up.

If we can hold out
for just one more day...

How do we do that in this situation?!

How do we survive?

It's over. It's the end of the world.

Damn it!

What the hell do we do?

Someone.

Anyone! Help...

What's wrong? Is it a zombie?

- Who are you?
- What are you doing?

Sorry. The stairwell in my building
is crawling with zombies, so...

Anyway, come in.

We're still safe here.

Huh? No, it's okay.
I have to go out for a bit...

- Huh?
- Oh...

I'm Akira Tendo.
I live in the building next door.

It must be fate meeting you like this.
Nice to meet you!

Yes... I'm Kosaka.

By the way,
I'm going to the convenience store.

Can I bring you anything?
Instant noodles? Flashlights?

Uh, yes please...
That would be great...

If you can, get us some toilet paper!
The two-ply one!

Okay!

Looks like their numbers
have grown since yesterday!

If they surround me, I may not be able
to get away, even on a bike.

Even so, I'd rather get eaten by zombies

than go a second without beer!

BEER CIGARETTES

TROPICAL SWEETS

Beer! Beer!

All you can drink!

Beer! Beer!

Any and every kind of beer...

A survivor?

Wait! I was singing
a super weird song just now!

So embarrassing!

She must think I'm a weirdo!
Yeah, I'm sure she does!

Oh, no! I also scared the Kosakas earlier.
I must try not to scare her off.

Hello...

Are you out shopping too?

It's hard to get out
with all these zombies around, isn't it?

Well...

I was gonna be lazy
and drink beer all day, but I went out.

Huh? What...

Hey, excuse me!

Since we happened to meet like this,

do you want to exchange
your contact information?

In that case...

Not that it's my business or anything,

but risking everything to go out
to get something nonessential

is definitely not what I call
a high-priority task.

High-priority...

I can't see myself teaming up with someone
who doesn't know how to analyze risk.

I'd prefer not to lower
my chances of survival.

Hey!

So, I'll have to pass
on giving you my contact information.

Miss! Watch out!

What?

Thank you, Miss

Hey, my bike!

I see.

I need to analyze the risk?

I guess the kind of stuff
you see in zombie movies

really does happen.

She was badass, and pretty too.

I wonder if I'll see her again.

Damn it! Now's not the time
to be thinking about that!

I gotta run back home!
Nope, that's impossible!

What am I gonna do?

There must be something!

Now this is an upgrade!

I forgot this all started
during rush hour.

Bikes and scooters are lying around
with their keys still in them.

With this,
I can travel much easier than on a bike.

Hold on. Maybe...

there's an even better upgrade.

Yeah!

Now this is the ultimate upgrade!

I'm stocked up on beer, met a cute girl,

and even got the motorcycle of my dreams.

Today was great.

I'm back, Mr. and Mrs. Kosaka!

I got plenty of beer
if you want to join me for a drink...

Mr. and Mrs. Kosaka?

We could die today.

Or we could die years from now.

Either way, there's never enough time

to do all the things we want.

Life's too short to avoid taking risks.

When I was a kid,
there were so many things I wanted to do.

. CONFESS TO THE GIRL I LOVED

But I always found one excuse or another,

and ended up not doing those things.

I've decided to take a three-year vacation
to have as much fun as I can.

. CLEAN MY ROOM

If I can't do the things I want to do,

. LOAF AROUND AND DRINK BEER

I'd rather be eaten by zombies.

. RIDE A MOTORCYCLE
. TRY OUT DREADLOCKS

I only have ?

Things I wanna do...

Now that I've quit...

What I really want to do...

. GO HOME AND SPEND TIME WITH MY PARENTS

. WITH MY BEST BUD...

. MEET THE WOMAN

OF MY DREAMS

Okay.

Yeah.

Done!

THINGS I WANT TO DO
BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE

I repeat... This is an emergency broadcast
for all city districts.

Everyone, please lock your doors securely
and do not leave your homes.

I repeat, this is an emergency...

Internet and telecommunications
are down.

...please lock your doors securely
and do not leave your homes.

...if the government is still functioning...

I can't contact the main office
in LA either.

The situation looks critical.

Secure food and water.

Acquire a sustainable energy source.

Maintain mental balance.
Continue regular exercise.

Minimize sugar intake.

Yes.

I finally did it.

I...

I escaped.

I got away!

I see.

ZOMBIE ENCYCLOPEDIA

There are two types of zombies in movies,
slow and fast ones.

Walking.

Walking.

Running.

That solid body type
looks extremely dangerous.

Walking. Walking. Running.

Walking... Walking...

Dangerous.

Both types are currently
in this zombie pandemic.

If you can identify the type
when you encounter one,

your chances of survival
increase drastically.

I need raw data after all.

I need to gather certain supplies

before the number of infected
spikes again.

What area is the least risky
in this neighborhood?

Camera, check.

ALKALINE BATTERIES

COOKED CHICKEN FOR SALAD

A survivor?

He doesn't seem to be infected.

Beer! Beer!

Any and every kind of beer...

He seems harmless.

Wait, there may be zombies behind him.

I knew it.

Hello...

They're far enough behind, but I should
get what I need quickly and leave.

It's hard to get out
with all these zombies around, isn't it?

He's the classic example

of a shortsighted person who's unable
to think beyond the present moment.

How could someone like him
survive this long?

...and drink beer all day.

It just doesn't make sense.

That sound... A car horn?

Not good. It'll attract zombies.

If I go out now, there's
a high possibility of getting att*cked.

A barricade? No, there's not enough time.

So, how do I get through?

What's going on?

It's out of control.

The direction it's headed...

works in my favor.

Not that it's my business or anything,

but risking everything to go out
to get something nonessential

is definitely not what I call
a high-priority task.

So now...

I'll get as many as possible to follow me,

and if I can get the timing right...

Miss! Watch out!

Don't! That position is...

What?

A runaway truck driven by a zombie
crashes into other zombies...

What a magnificently perfect zombie trope.

Well,

I guess even crappy blockbusters

can give you some useful ideas.

Water has been secured.

Food, power, and fuel have been secured.

I managed to get some data too.
It could be better, but...

this is great.

The patterns in the behavior
of the zombies that I encountered today...

Beer! Beer!

Who knew

that a single beer could make someone
that happy in a state of emergency?

SAKURA MOCHI

. MINIMIZE SUGAR INTAKE

Oh well...

Maybe I should have grabbed
that sakura mochi after all.
