School-Live!
Directed by Issei Shibata
Produced by Universal Pictures, NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan
A tonal hybrid that balances zombie-apocalypse survival horror with genuine affection for its schoolgirl protagonists, grounding existential dread in intimate friendships and school-club camaraderie.
Ebisuzawa Kurumi, Takeya Yuki, Wakasa Yuri, and Naoki Miki all attend the same high school. They also live on campus at the school. The girls enjoy their time at the school until students become infected by a virus and turn into zombies. The girls are surrounded by student zombies and they struggle desperately to survive.
