I’m trying to finish up all the anime of the Fall 2012 lineup and those uber long anime of the remaining 2012 anime. I’ve been dying to do my own top ten list of 2012 stuff but I wanted to finish all, if possible, anime of the year before I do that. In the meantime, [...]

This is review number one hundred and sixty four. This is part of the Winter 2011 lineup. It’s Kore wa Zombie desu ka? It’s an awesome show about a dude who is a zombie but is also a magical girl. Don’t worry, he has a harem and a lot of girls are in the show. [...]

Ayumu and his rather strange harem are back for another (slightly truncated) season of magical fun. With the first season having impressed me with just how enjoyable it was, despite having the ingredients necessary to be an unholy mess, I was quite looking forward to this - but beware, because anticipation often leads to disappointment...

Just a few things I wanted to say Well the second season of the weirdass series comes to a close (around 2-3 weeks ago) and I honestly, I’m disappointed in terms of how it went back and forth in content with the light novel. But then again, I just like the characters too much to [...]

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Of The Dead, despite having an unoriginal title, was enjoyable, but also immensely flawed and actually quite irritating at times. It had excellent humour, some … Continue reading →

I had high hopes, but none of them were met. Lately I've noticed a trend in the second season of anime comedy series, or series that juggle a few different genres but the primary goal is still comedy. In their second seasons, rather than continue what made them enjoyable in the first place, they essentially shoot themselves in the foot by creating a season that has nothing to do with anything and makes me wonder why I liked it in the first place. Off the top of my head, an example of a good second season is Ika Musume and a bad second season is Natsu no Arashi! Akinaichuu. Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Of the Dead is a bad second season.   Before I continue, I have to say that the first season wasn't ten out of ten amazing but at least it was fun to watch. It balanced its magical girl parody with ninjas and necromancers pretty well alongside an actual plot, something that I honestly wouldn't believe if I hadn't watched it. This season, however, threw out the plot and any semblance of original jokes, leaving behind the fanservice, which wasn't very good either. Is it just me, or did every female character go up a few bra sizes since I last saw this show? Instead of a continuation of what made me like this show, it felt like the point of this season was to pander to an audience that clearly wasn't me. The characters basically mill around in increasingly revealing outfits while situations that they insist are dire but really aren't are resolved at the drop of a hat. One character even has a majorly OOC moment, turing this show into a run-of-the-mill harem rather than a parody of one.   Two new characters are introduced and accomplish nothing. One shows up for an episode and some scenes after that, but otherwise has no point. The other is meant to be the villian, but it was impossible to take her seriously. For most of the show she's a running joke, and even the big reveal of her villain status was like an extension of it. The rest of the show is spent with characters talking about how powerful she allegedly is, but we never get to see it. The final showdown of the season doesn't even involve her! I'm honestly not sure if I was supposed to buy into the setup or not, since the show can't make up it's mind whether to hype her up or continue the running joke.   Overall, I wouldn't recommend this season unless you're a really big fan of the show in general, and even then only if you don't mind the plot being replaced by pandering. Aside from what I've mentioned above, the production values for the show were pretty consistent and I didn't notice any off-model animation, and I really like the OP theme. But the content is what's important in the end, and it just didn't satisfy. If the plot was the major reason you liked the first season, it's best to skip this one and leave the memories where they are. Images from Hulu.com.

Scoreboard: Review: I’ll say right now that this has to be the toughest review I’ve had to write to this point. Looking at this series objectively is tough since as a sequel there are always going to be expectations. Going into this series I was hoping to seeing things carried forward from the first season [...]

One of the more comedic anime to air during the Spring 2012 season was Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead, the sequel to Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Produced by Studio DEEN and lasting only 10 episodes, this anime continues where the first season left off and continues to add more characters and [...]

Done here already, DEEN? Fine. While short and inconclusive, the second season of Zombiessu fixed almost everything that was wrong with its predecessor. Chainsaw rape end, best end. I really expected nothing aside from pure pain and suffering from OtD, … Continue reading →

Hello there. This is review number twenty two and finally, I am reviewing a Spring 2012 anime. I am super excited with this one too. It’s Kore wa Zombie desu ka? of the dead. I’m not really sure about the title. So it’s a parody of high school of the dead? So we’ll see zombies [...]

Well the second season for Kore wa Zombie Desu ka wraps up with an interesting though in some ways underwhelming last episode. Certainly if people had hoped that the last episode woould give some major battle to wrap up the season then it didn’t deliver, but it did bring up some good issues about Ayumu [...]

「だけど, それがいい」 (Dakedo, Sore ga Ii) "Still, That's Fine" It is with ecchi slimes, Alternative Ayumus, and a heavy heart that we bide adieu to this second season of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Why oh why did it have to come to an end?

If you watched the first season, the sequel is more of the same. Only without even the pretense of having a purpose. It seemed like three quarters of this show was playing dress up and generally pandering to the audience. … Continue reading →

So… that’s it? Apparently this season is only ten episodes. The ending itself was weird, to say the least. But I guess that weirdness is the best part of this show. It was all over the place. We start out … Continue reading →

Well if this episode was good for anything it helped give a peek into Eu’s past and introduced a pretty interesting character in Nene. Although at this point I do believe the climax for this series really will be Ayumu tickling Chris into submission and having her join up with the harem. I mean in [...]
