Yuuri Wakasa is one of the main characters of the series and like the other girls, she was once a student at the Megurigaoka High School. With the limited resources they have, the girls must learn to survive in this extremely hostile environment and they must also pretend that everything is normal, just for the sake of Yuki’s sanity. They have no means of contacting anyone else who has survived and their entire school is surrounded by flesh-eating undead zombie girls who won’t let them leave. The truth is that the members of the high school living club are the sole survivors of a zombie apocalypse and are just counting their last few days on the planet. Little does she know that she is living a short-sighted illusion that hides all the darkness that lurks around. In the confinements of the Megurigaoka High School, Yuki takes immense pride in the fact that she is making the most of her school life. She is a member of the school’s living club which also consists of other members like the president Yuuri Wakasa, the athlete Kurumi Ebizuzuwa, a mature young girl named Naoki, a supervising teacher known by the name of Megumi Sakura and also a club dog named Taroumaru. It’s so damn perfect that she does not ever want to leave the grounds of her amazing school.
Life is just perfect for Yuki Takeya at her school. You can watch ‘School-Live!’ on Crunchyroll with its original Japanese audio and English subtitles. Till then, make sure that you keep looking out for this section because we will be updating it as soon as we receive any confirmed news regarding ‘School Live’ season 2 release date. Let’s just hope that an official announcement will be made somewhere by the end of this year. But we can’t guarantee anything unless there is a final confirmation from the Studio’s end. So as of now, it seems very likely that there will be a season 2. Now the first season of the anime only covers 6 volumes which clearly implies that the number of volumes left for adaptation are just perfect for a whole new season. It was recently revealed that the manga will come to an end with its 12th volume. The first season of the anime was so well received that the source material of the show, which was previously unknown, gained immense popularity after its release. ‘School Live’ season 1 released on Jand came to an end on September 24, 2015. School-Live! Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere? If you have the slightest interest in either of the two genres, then you should definitely give this one a shot and since it only has 12 episodes, you don’t really have anything to lose here. And though it has some very apparent flaws, it is overall really enjoyable.
It’s the kind of show that can make you smile and scare you at the same time because of the balance that creates between two very different genres. In the end, ‘School-Live!’ does manage to stand out because it clearly tries to step out of the typical slice-of-genre where the cute protagonists of the anime don’t always have a happy ending. Even the background tracks are quite a blast and usually fit right in with the overall theme of the storyline. But getting back to the positives of the anime: the opening videos of the show are always different, which is great. I have nothing against the typical moe art but the fact that ‘School-Live!’ clearly makes no attempts at rising above its cliches does bother me a little. The characters are often drawn very lazily with clearly misplaced features and often, even the backgrounds lack enough detailing. The animation, which is done by Lerche Studio, proves to be a disappointment because of its evident inconsistencies. The writers of this anime clearly had a well-defined purpose behind everything they were trying to portray and they were very well aware of how their targeted audience will react to a particular event. Even the relationships between the characters are multi-faceted, which allows them to swiftly shift from one extreme end of their personality to another in a short span.
I believe this is a very smart move on the anime’s part because it’s always easier to introduce a new “threat” by relating it with an event that takes place before the story of the show. It also heavily relies on flashbacks to bring up certain plot points in the present. The good thing about ‘School-Live!’ is that it is very well aware of its narrative and though it only has a short runtime of 12 episodes, it clearly makes an attempt to have some build up before it shifts from one genre to another.
