Moving forward in Zombieland Saga

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPVxX0OD4s4 - 7:40

     Idol anime is something I never really watched before Zombieland Saga, but I wasn't really expecting 

it to be an idol anime.  As the video for this reflection mentions, Zombieland Saga isn't a usual idol anime 

(if I do watch other idol anime in the future, it will have to be like this one).  There are several reasons for 

this, but I think that this can be summed up by the idea of moving forward, meaning it actually goes 

somewhere.

     Before the characters who are now zombies became zombies, they were living their lives as normal 

girls.  Coming back as zombies somehow and for some reason that none of them really asked for (but 

most likely wanted anyway - this part isn't really explained in the anime and the explanations for it in the 

video are theories) is a way to continue what they started (or wanted to start).  The only way to get 

anywhere is to move forward.  The past does help you with this in terms of motivation, not by dwelling 

on it.  You can't change what has already happened.  You can change what will and is happening.  It also 

leads to them getting their revenge in the second season for what they tried to do before the second season 

started (and a continuation with a third season?  I don't know what will come of the live action movie 

announced recently.).
