Undead Unluck

This show seemed lewd and generic. Didn't appear to have a particularly interesting premise so I kept my expectations low. Turned out to be a good time. Charming character design and art style, hollow melodrama kept to a minimum, creative battle mechanics and is actually something of a cute love story. The plot itself also gets progressively more interesting. Far more than the first few episodes would indicate with the continuation of an engaging story arc coming in later seasons.

If you're a fan of anime in general this is a good pick, if you're among the uninitiated (and don't mind some low-brow humor) you may have to be a bit patient. It won't immediately hook you but you'll likely enjoy having stayed around.

I discovered the manga last year (thanks, local library!) and was hooked. So I anticipated the anime with bated breath. And in so many ways it's a fantastic adaptation of Sensei's work, even with the inevitable tweaking, additions , and storyline expansion that come with such projects. However, the one thing which bugs me, the biggest and only issue that bugs me, is that about half of each episode is spent in flashbacks and refreshers, and that's not counting the intro and extro credits sequences and next episode teaser. I don't know if this is because of this particular production, a quirk of this studio, or the state of anime production in general, but it's quite frustrating to sit through.

Now I get that some flashbacks are necessary to the plot: they help clarify the crisis of the episode, refresh the viewer's memory of stuff from the very beginning that might've become fuzzy, etc. But when an entire episode consists of such "refreshments" and add, maybe, 5-8 minutes of new stuff, is that truly necessary? To my mind, no. Especially not in this era of binge-watching and multi-episode premieres - are our memories so out of whack from our short attention spans to need reminders of something that happened just the previous episode? I admit, I have a crap memory, but even I'm not that forgetful.

So while the animation and voice work (of the original Japanese - I haven't watched the dub yet so I can't comment on it) are high-class, and the storyline is just as hilarious, action-packed, dramatic, and fast-paced as the manga's, the actual production could be better. Thanks to the state of anime and manga today, with its greater-than-ever focus on speed and earning capability to the exclusion of everything else, including the health of those involved, I can't say I'm surprised.

Very solid and weird over the too anime with a messy story and very interesting and complex characters in a very ricj and interesting post apocalyptic world full of danger and scary powers that can take your life in an instant of weakness and it has a very dark vive to it, specially the main duo, they are weird and very interesting to be honest, they are kinda scary and weird to look but i just love them, this is not a gem of an anime its just an enjoyable piece of medía with something mediocre and something very good animation not gonna lie i cried a little with one of the backstory, has good villains too.
