A companion piece to last year's Train from Busan, this is an animated zombie film that regardless of relentless pace and larger scope is invested in very personal and human stories. This feels like the inverse spectrum of that film, capable of demonstrating humanity's best but ultimately showcasing the bleakest. While dark and a times nihilistic, the film itself is compelling and amazingly well realized, illustrating numerous socialinjustices and making pointed commentary on universal societal ills. The presentation of this film is pretty good, decent quality animation with distinct and unique character designs. The characters themselves are all very well realized, and the story that unfolds swerves and twists in numerous satisfying ways. There is nothing particularly new or unique in its presentation of zombies and initial outbreak/infestation, that can be said of most every other zombie film. No real scares or gore, but this is still a riveting and intense zombie film that naturalistically delivers sharp social commentary while telling very personal stories.
