Zombieland Saga

This is an interesting anime with a unique premise and decent animation. The voice acting is pretty good, and overall I have no problems with it.

Like a season has come out so far. I was planning on editing this review as episodes came out but I'm not going to do that. This show is awesome. The characters are great. Everything is great. Watch it.

Was not intending to watch an anime from the "Idol" genre but have zero regrets and would recommend it highly.

ZLS starts in a surprisingly unique way and with that twist right from the start it breaths new life into a bunch of cliche character archetypes, the whole "concept"'of the idols, and sets the stage (no pun intended) for a surprisingly good anime.

Weave in some good character development, foreshadowed/anticipated (but well done) plot "twists" and before you know it the the first seasons ends with a resolved story arc, a hook for the next season and a strong desired to see more.

Review based off the English Dub'ed version.

Sakura Minamoto is a high school girl who dreams of becoming an idol... right up until she steps in front of a speeding truck. She wakes in a strange building and discovers that she is surrounded by zombies. She flees and asks a cop for help... he looks at her in terror; it turns out that she too is a zombie! She is then helped by Kotaro Tatsumi, a rather manic individual whose idea to save the city of Saga is to raise various girls from the dead to create an all zombie idol group! Sakura gets to know the other girls and they start to perform; all the time trying to hide the fact that they are zombies from the public... something not easy when their heads occasionally fall off.

This series is without a doubt one of the highlights of the season. The premise may be totally bonkers but it really works. Of course these aren't conventional zombies; only one of them, the hilarious Tae Yamada, doesn't regain her consciousness; and apart from Sakura they all remember their pasts. Their characters are nicely varied and the fact that they were raised from the dead means they can come from different time periods in some cases. Their designs are impressive; they only look like normal girls when made up to go out in public. The comedy elements really work with plenty of laugh out loud moments in every episode. Overall I'd definitely recommend this series even if you don't usually like idol shows or zombies.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This anime is a very good one, because I like horror and the art is extraordinary! And it's go fantastic!

A lot of idol anime end up being the same or similar type of show with predictable content. Zombieland saga is not like that, it's new and interesting with great characters and absurd comedy. It's fun.
