[75] The critics from Anime News
Network gave the first episode of the series a very positive reception. James
Beckett and Richard Eisenbeis gave it a perfect score, complimenting the storytelling, visuals, direction, animation and the handling of Akira's character. Rebecca Silverman described that the art direction is fascinating and does a remarkable job of emphasizing the decline of Akira's quality of life and its sudden resurgence. Nicholas Dupree praised its animation, direction and Akira's character while noting that "[the show] is simple, a bit trashy, and doesn't do much to innovate in the well-trodden ground of zombie fiction, but it has a solid emotional core and an excess of energy. "[76] Daniel Kurland of Den of Geek describing the series premiere, saying, "This first episode utilizes a simple, yet effective, trick where the color palette is actively muted during the
extended flashback that's set during the early days at Akira's job. " Regarding the series' opening theme song, he described it as "an absolute banger and perfectly captures the anime's bombastic, care-free energy". [77] Rafael Motamayor of IGN called the series premiere as "one of the best first episodes of an anime in a long time", praising its visual storytelling, framing, and color in handling Akira's
miserable work life. He also praised the series for its refreshing take on a zombie genre, characters, and humor, while criticizing its animation quality as unreliable due to the studio's production delays that made it a "less-than-perfect watch".

You could forge weapons and buy items in towns, which came in handy during the random battles that occurred out on the plains and in the dungeons where most of the action actually
took place. Instead of magic, the characters could perform special attacks based on their Samurai Shodown
fighting abilities. Ukyo had his apple toss and slice, Charlotte had her power gradation, and so on. The graphics were OK compared to other RPGs of the era, but the big draw was the fight animations, which were inspired by the moves found in the normal Samurai Shodown fighting games.
