Ayumu was a normal high school boy until he was killed by a serial killer. he was revived as a zombie by a necromancer, Hellscythe, whom from that day onwards living with him. then he met Haruna, a magical girl (魔法少女) whose magical power was absorbed by Ayumu, leaving her powerless. to defend Haruna, Ayumu had to fight against the Megalo system in her place.
by putting a Zombie in the title, i assumed i would be watching an anime like Highschool of the Dead (2011), with ugly, drooling corpses, dragging their legs chasing after the main characters. but after watching its first episode, i was simply impressed with the absurdity of this series n how perfectly these ridiculous ideas were put together! at first glance, the anime seemed like any typical Harem (ハーレム) anime, but the fact is, no one is interested in Ayumu! though being immortal has its advantage, he was most of the time being cut into half or sliced open by these girls that he fought alongside. it was not a surprise to know that this anime was rated to be one of the favorites for the season, for it managed to have a zombie themed anime looked so much more alive n completely out of our expectancy!
some background on the anime:
- episodes: 12
- director: Takaomi Kanasaki (金﨑貴臣)
- released: 2011
- language: Japanese
- genre: Action/Comedy
sequels:
- Kore wa Zombie Desu ka (2011)
- Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? OVA (2011)
- Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead (2012)
- Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead OVA (2012)
Well, out of expectancy can be a good thing. I also think this would be like an anime version of Night of the Living Dead :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! How come Anubis is in the film?
ReplyDeleteSo the title is rather misleading? Looks like a good anime to watch during my free time! : )
ReplyDeleteI have to chime in with Jaccstev and say....
ReplyDelete"I also think this would be like an anime version of Night of the Living Dead.
Which, btw, I LOVED that film!
Thanks for sharing, Levian! Happy Tuesday!
ahaks! I would definitely watch this! I have seen High School of Dead. It was not too bad... I am watching Dance with the Vampire Bund now. :p Lots more to come to watch!
ReplyDeletejacc: i googled Night of the Living Dead n it was so eerie! it gave me a fright looking at the girl in the picture. but it seemed to be rated a good movie, perhaps i should check it out.
ReplyDeletetekkaus: hah! he was one of the guards of the underworld.
foong: it was still zombie related, just not our typical zombie.
ron: thanks for the recommendation! i'd never catch it before n probably should since it seemed highly recommended by you guys!
ladyviral: i watched Vampire Bund n i didn't quite enjoy how the story progressed. but it's vampire! how can we ever missed any vampire related anime! hah!
