It's a story about people trying to survive in a city infested and overtaken by zombies... |

Ugh, they really had a dead person running around. I saw a dog in there, but not any cats... |
| Morgana's comment (in the midst of second episode) |
Everyone's at their limit, and they're acting crazy. The humans are scarier than the zombies! |
| Morgana's comment (after finishing first episode) |
Phew, what a scary world... I definitely wouldn't want to be in a place like that. |
| Morgana's comment (after finishing second episode) |
So we finished watching "The Running Dead," huh... |

After watching this drama, maybe you've got more Guts than you did before. |
