* RealismInducedHorror: In a world beset by a ZombieApocalypse, one of the most horrific aspects of it is simply Akira's old job in a black company. Every day he was subjected to mentally and physically-exhausting labour while constantly being browbeaten, whether he did a good job or not. Whenever he does get to go home, he simply doesn't have the energy to do anything, not even clean it for three years. A situation that's tragically true in real life, particularly in Japan. It really says a lot that the world going down the pan the way it has is considered an ''improvement'' in Akira's life.

** Humans aren't the only things that can be infected. Sharks and bears can be infected too. Yes, '''zombie sharks and bears'''.
** During the cruise chapters, there's a sign the ship captain didn't see that says there's zombies inside the boat their using. Sure enough, a horde is inside the ship, and start attacking everyone there.
** Imagine being a doctor in the early stages in the ZombieApocalypse, then see your own wife and child ''get killed by zombies on the news''. That's Yudai Tsurumi's backstory.
** Chapter 64. It turns out the zombie infection and the ensuing apocalypse wasn't as recent as anyone thought. The surface lost communications to space station ISS '''for a year'''. As a result, [[spoiler:''the ISS station is infected'']].

* HarsherInHindsight: The story starts with Akira getting broken by his SoulCrushingDeskJob before feeling liberated by the collapse of society as he won't need to return to work. This feels ironic when you account for the anime's production issues that led to its {{Schedule Slip}}s.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Ohtori a willing participant in the affair with the chairman, or was she coerced? She never openly admits that she's being forced to take part, but not only is the boss coercing her not beyond the realm of possibility given the nature of the company, but when her boss has sex with her in his office, he appears to ignore her protests of "not in here," implying she can't say no to him. Interestingly, the Live-Action movie leans towards her being a willing participant as [[spoiler:before she dies from her zombie wounds, she kills the zombie chairman while angrily stating he promised to leave his wife, and Akira sees a picture of the two seemingly happy]].

The point the series is making is that that is not how humans should live.

* ValuesDissonance: Western viewers will look at Akira's work-life balance prior to the apocalypse and be horrified, but in Japan, companies overworking their employees like that is actually very common, to the point it's not unheard of for employees to drop dead at their desk. They even have a word for it: "karoshi." It's only in the last few years that Japanese society has even ''begun'' to try and combat the phenomenon.
