My Undead Yokai Girlfriend

The fantasy story is most intriguing, hoping for Season 2 @ Amazon!

Very much enjoyed the show. Well made. Characters were interesting and portrayed excellently by a good cast.

Lead actress Ai Yoshikawa is young but very talented.

I rarely see Japanese shows, only saw one before this but am fully aware of the talent and production quality from Japan - and this show lives up to their reputation. It is not meant to be serious, but fun, easy flow through a good fantasy story. You don't feel hurried and are always left wanting more. I felt the male lead was too quirky but that may be part character part cultural.

Overall very enjoyable and fun.

Enjoy.

Creatively directed and powerfully presented by all the actors. One of the most engaging and involving japanese short dramas I have watched till date. Never got bored while watching the series, the story flows effortlessly smooth. The quality of acting displayed, especially by the two leads is just brilliant. Not for a single minute you will feel that they were acting, it is uniquely authentic. The best aspect about this series is that you can watch it from start to end in a matter of few hours. If you are looking for something new & fresh, you will surely love it. From well choreographed action scenes to hilariously funny comedy, and from sweet love story to tragic plot twists, this series has it all. Eagerly waiting for season 2.

Really looking forward to the sequel, I hope there are no murders or people dying in vain, and more slice of life moments that are funny and entertaining.

I like Izzy's innocent and very cute appearance when facing contemporary Japanese life.

Who knows who the bad guy is actually doesn't really matter, because the attraction of this series is the romantic relationships. The many interests and points of view make it feel complicated and difficult to determine whose side the audience should side with.

Some unimportant characters somehow have to be sacrificed and die without making significant story developments. I'd rather have them stay alive and experience character development. For example, a character with the ability to change shape. It appeared very quickly, and then suddenly it had to end.

I'm really looking forward to the continuation of the story and hopefully Izzy and Tadashi can often have their happy moments.

It's an okay series, but there are plenty of better series with supernatural elements, if that's your cup of tea. The characters here just feel terribly dumb, and both the pacing and storytelling are a bit off somehow. The visual effects aren't anything to write home about either.

They obviously try very hard to be funny, but the humour doesn't really work that well, unfortunately. Maybe for teenagers? Or perhaps things get lost in translation for a European like me who doesn't speak Japanese? This style is just so much better made in Korea, can't help it.

P. S: If you want to see a good series with Youkais, try Tale of Nine Tales, it's quite romantic though.

This show is so great. It's super fun and strikes a great tone - it's funny and light but still grounded. It's also got a mystery included and a well thought out mythological background.

The show follows college student Tadashi (Hachi) as he navigates his college life after he accidentally summons a Yokai (a Japanese demon) to be his girlfriend. It's a fun pairing that lends itself to lots of comedic moments since he's a shy gamer and the Yokai (Izzy) is a confident warrior. The acting is super charming, all the actors do an excellent job, especially Sano Hayato (Hachi) and Yoshikawa Ai (Izzy). I hope it gets a second season. More of this, please!
