Undead Unluck

Undead Unluck is a brand new animation series with tons of actions, blood (literally) and ridiculous science.

The main hero is an immortal with regenerative power at max speed level. So, even with decapitation, the dude regenerates himself into full again and again. And he can propel himself by spraying his blood out, like a jet spray.

The girl is super unlucky to the point of illogical. The more intemate she is to someone, the more unlucky that person is.

The enemies ate also ridiculous, but that is the fun of this series and for you to find out.

By the way, because the hero is always being cut, shot, decapitated and even minched, he is always nude with his crotch covered by a patch of static screen.

Before I begin, I would like to mention that my critique is considerably lengthy, consisting of: this message, a mention of what I perceive to be an unfair critique, and my review of the series. Additionally, I would like to ask for understanding and apologize if anyone disagrees with the topic discussed below or with my opinion. This is my personal review and, therefore, my opinion. I appreciate your understanding.

Firstly, I would like to address one of the "official" ratings of "Undead + Unluck", given by Jeremy Looney, who rated it 2 stars with the following comment: "there is a lot of distasteful fanservice and sexual content that is quite uncomfortable"... Excuse me?

I won't judge the work of others, but I feel your comment lacks clear foundation, especially considering recent contemporary animes, which often recycle and truly indulge in fanservice, such as isekai or harem genres.

Instead of objectively criticizing the plot or animation (which I find critiquable but hasn't been mentioned at all), you choose to highlight its "violent" and "sexual" content in a series intended for audiences aged 16/18 and belonging to the action/shonen genre. Breaking Bad doesn't become mediocre because it contains violence, nor does Fifty Shades of Grey because it contains sexual content, if the target audience is adults.

Either rate well or simply don't rate at all, because this seemingly "harmless" action for many could lead to ruining the ratings of an author who has put effort into creating their series.

Finally, my critique. The rating is a clear 9.8/10. It's fascinating to see how some anime series defy conventions and offer unique and fresh plots. "Undead + Unluck" seems to be doing just that by breaking away from the common clichés and repetitions in the genre.

The series keeps the audience intrigued and hooked with its unique and fresh plot. Focused on the characters' unique abilities and the introduction of unexpected and unbelievable elements, "Undead + Unluck" stands out as an attractive option for those seeking something different in the anime world, especially for genre fans.

As mentioned earlier, the animation isn't the best, but it's worth noting that compared to the manga, there has been a notable improvement in the artwork, and it's appreciated that they released two consecutive seasons. They have truly dedicated incredible effort between quality and available time; therefore, they have earned all my admiration from the team of Yoshifumi Totsuka and Yuki Yase.

Let's hope Japan recognizes the value of this series as much as Europe and America have, receiving "Undead + Unluck" with great appreciation. The author has demonstrated impeccable work, and we can only eagerly await the next season and see how this series continues its success in the future.

One of the best animes of this season which has a heartwarming story In the story, you can connect with every character through the powerful observation of Korea Unlucky Namira anime is one of the newest Japanese anime that started its work in 2023. The anime Undead Unluck decided to attract the attention of the audience and comments with its attractive story and action at the very beginning. Stay with us for a more comprehensive introduction of this new and attractive anime. The Unlucky Namira anime is based on the manga of the same name written and drawn by Yoshifumi Tozuka. At first, Namira Badshas manga was published as a serial collection in Shonen Jump weekly magazine. After the unique reception of this fascinating story by the friends of the anime world, the decision of David Production and TMS Entertainment to produce a series of this Japanese anime produced television fans.

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.

Undead Unluck is a captivating blend of unique storytelling and vibrant artwork. Its unpredictable plot keeps you hooked with every chapter, and the dynamic characters bring both humor and depth. The chemistry between the protagonists, coupled with inventive fight scenes and a touch of romance, makes it a must-read for manga enthusiasts. This series masterfully balances action, emotion, and creativity, ensuring an engaging experience from start to finish.

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Incredible art, music, and premise. It's sad, funny, horny, violent, touching, beautiful, and overwhelmingly creative. What a masterpiece.
