Might not be a kick But that’s not cranberry sauce: Spicy zombie dish.

Looks nice and inviting doesn’t it? God Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? just keeps on getting better. Last week I talked about how the show is actually subverting numerous modern tropes. Unfortunately I really can’t afford to spend as much time writing up these posts as I did last week, so I’m going to cut back [...]

Fan service and games Welcome back to more random zombie comedy! And also a big happy birthday to Overcooled! Hope you get lots of cake and stuff. Found a few soundtracks this week, a good mixture of things and the Arakawa soundtrack, really amazing stuff there. This week on Korewa Zombie, we have some game [...]

Zombie-su episode 3 proved to be kawaii and sexy with all those fan service through out the episode. I enjoyed it a lot even if they forgot to add the plot related scene.

Remember when fanservice meant something? Producers of Japanese cartoons these days seem to subscribe to the notion that shoving disgusting, fat mammillary glands dangling from the lipid filled-chest of a cow into the face of the audience would in some way titillate them. Little wonder that the industry is in decline! Studio DEEN, always the [...]

「そう、髪型はツインテールに」 (Sou, Kamigata wa Tsuinteeru ni) "Yes, I have twin tails" This past season, I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard as I did today. Besides the jokes and the great fanservice shots, I never expected regular party games to grab my attention as well as these did. Things like Jenga and Twister were never this fun when I played it!

Episode 03 – Yes, I Have a Twin Tails – そう、髪型はツインテールに (Sou, Kamigata wa Tsuinteeru ni) Man, this episode had a ton of fanservicey yet funny scenes, but there was virtually nothing related to the main plot until literally the last 2-5 minutes of the episode. For a show I thought was going to be [...]

Starting with this one. (Ok this one is a joke, but there’s serious (?) content I promise) Week 2 of the best anime series to hit the airwaves. I’ve seen many people have only a lukewarm reception to the second episode, but CLEARLY they don’t know what they’re talking about. Just like Shinbo in Madoka, the [...]

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? episode 2 introduced us to a new, very original character. She's a Ninja Vampire with a nice oppai and a very nice attitude. See the screencap? XD

VAMPIRE NINJAS!!! Why did I never think of that combination. A zombie magical girl is pretty whack anyway. FLOOR NINJAS!!! Anyway, I really like the part at the end where eucliwood hellcythe slapped Haruna. It's about time that eucli did something. I imagine death really is not fun at all. Even the most emotionless people [...]

「いえ、吸血忍者です。」 (Ie, Kyuketsu Ninja desu.) "No, I'm a vampire ninja." After that amazing sequence of watching Ayumu transform into a Masou Shoujo last week, I don't know what I'd do if I had to watch it again. Luckily, instead of more Ayumu-pantsu, I was given an episode full of jokes, an impressive battle scene, and a lot of plot progression. Plus, there were a ton of opportunities for screencaps like this.

Episode 02 – No, I’m a Vampire Ninja – いえ、吸血忍者です (Ie, kyuuketsu ninjadesu) Well, this episode was definitely an improvement from the premiere last week. We have much less of the awkward, quirky drama and jokes of last week, and instead we actually got a decent plot as well as a good intro to our [...]

After spawning forth several manga adaptations, the light novel series “これはゾンビですか?“ by Shinichi Kimura now receives the anime treatment. Originally wasn’t really interested in “Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?“, but on a whim watched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised to discover it is an absolutely hilarious show. What did make me curious to [...]

Summary: As you will find yourself being told multiple times throughout the course of this first episode, Ayumu is a zombie. Not so much the randomly-animated corpses from George Romero’s “___ of the Dead” movies, but more of what they tried to make Bill Pullman into in The Serpent and the Rainbow. But this is [...]

Shitty. Crappy. Horrendous. All of these are words that do not describe this anime. What words would I use? Instead, I use the following words to sum up my findings of this anime: Koreha Zombie Desuka was not what I expected. I mean, it wasn’t what I didn’t expect, but there were a lot of [...]

Finally posted on Gosick over here. As for Madoka Magica, I think what I'm gonna do is episodically blog the show *after it ends* over on Dull Sword. Also, I decided to drop Cardfight Vanguard and Rainbow Gate to lighten my load. Anyway, here's the next batch of shows.

NOT EVEN HAIR CAN STAND UP TO THIS SHOW So you know how there’s this awesome train called Madoka leaving from the station right now? Well you see it’s also traveling on the awesome track right now. And right now on this awesome track, another train is traveling called Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Yes that’s right [...]

Ayumu Aikawa (outwardly a normal high school boy) is, unfortunately, dead - the sad result of a run-in with a murderer with a Big F**king Sword. On the other hand, he's fortunate enough to live with a necromancer, who has brought him back as a zombie. Of the rather lifelike, non-shambling type. He's using his afterlife to try and track down the man who killed him, although at the moment all he's able to do is search randomly. One of his searches, though, brings him face-to-face with chainsaw-wielding magical girl Haruna, who's doing her damnedest to kill him. Again. But all is not as it seems, and when Haruna loses her magical powers, Ayumu is forced to take on her duties - and that includes her magical dress... Hoo boy, we've got a right one here. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? is aiming straight for the shock value, with levels of violence and gore that I haven't seen in a comedy since Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan - so that's one tick in the "hell, yeah" column. Necromancer Yuu (full name Eucliwood Hellscythe) is 100% adorable, especially when seen through Ayumu's eyes (he sees her rather differently from reality), and Haruna, well, is Haruna - all attitude, but by the end of this episode not much else, as her magic has been, err, magically transferred to Ayumu, an event that eventually delivers one of the most surprising transformation sequences that you'll ever see. And you'll only ever want to see it once. The Good: Dear god, where to start. Each of the three main characters that we get to meet in this episode has something about them that makes them appealing - Ayumu's deadpan snark mode and simply being a zombie, Yuu's notepad fetish, or Haruna being the only magical girl I've ever seen who uses a chainsaw as her weapon of choice. Combine them with blunt, violent humour - slapstick++ - that tickled my funny bone just right, and it's almost impossible not to love it. The Bad: Genuinely can't think of anything yet. I'm sure something that annoys me will rear its ugly head over the next few episodes, but as first episodes go, this was just about perfect. I had high hopes for this one when I sat down to watch it - the idea had potential, and from the moment I saw Haruna plus chainsaw in the promo clip I knew I was onto something. And, for once, it lived up to expectations. This seems to fill the guilty oleasure / mindless fun box for this season, and so far at least it's doing it really well.
