[Review] Being Sankarea is no freedom (Sankarea ep. 07 & 08)

Being Sankarea is being taken away

So why isn’t there a review for Sankarea 07 last week? I could say that I decided to make a combined review with episode 08 but the more accurate reason would be because there was no Rea in that episode! It was a Ranko’s episode but that episode has gave me a new perspective on her though there wasn’t any scene worth a snapshot (there was loli Ranko but I didn’t feel the urge to take snapshots either).

At least now I’m kinda feel sympathy for Ranko and I think it’s just right for her to treat Furuya like that because he deserves it. I mean in a sense Furuya is a jerk too for being too unrealistic and ignored Ranko. If you don’t get what I’m saying then I suggest you to read my reviews for the first few episodes of this show.

Give us back those beautiful blue eyes dammit!!

So in this episode Rea and Furuya went shopping, which is something that has to be done or else Rea would have to keep borrowing Ranko’s clothes or even worse (or better) she’d have to stay naked! Well it’s also ok if she just wear the same outfit all the time since zombies don’t sweat. If possible Furuya wouldn’t take Rea out since the hot weather is bad for her ‘dead’ body but then he thought of a ‘trick’ where Rea could wear a coat and load it with dry ice to keep her body cool so that she could go to school as well.

One thing both Furuya and Rea didn’t realize though is they’ve been tailed all the time by the people sent by Rea’s father. They were waiting for the right time (until Rea was alone) to capture her but luckily Yasutaka appeared at the critical time thus delaying the process of capturing. Those people then decided to keep watching those two and stupid Yasutaka, he then brought Rea outside of the shopping complex and that given the chance for those ‘abductors’ to try executing their plan again.

Gone shopping with a zombie.

Capturing Rea however proven to be a difficult process because as a zombie she doesn’t have strength limiter and then ‘defeated’ those abductors. Furuya, while looking for Rea then arrived from hearing her screaming for help. Too bad though since they were failed to capture Rea those ‘abductors’ then captured Furuya and brought him to Rea’s father.

I’m afraid that Rea’s ‘sick’, psychotic father would do what he planned to do to Furuya. He still didn’t give up on Rea and even worse is he didn’t feel any guilty over what happened to Rea back then. Now if only Rea, with her limiter-off power could smack her father and have him being the one castrated instead.
