    Not that funny...

    Pure dumb harem show, the jokes were not even funny and the characters were just unlikeable. I only saw this show because Ranker showed this as one of the funniest anime shows out there, they are 110% wrong. It was just diabolical.....

    A funny anime with an...interesting premise.

    "I'm am well aware of the ridiculousness of the situation"

    Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka, or "Is This a Zombie?" has a very strange premise, that consistently mocks how silly it is. Which is half the point really.

    The base premise is a High School student is killed by a murderer by being stabbed with a katana, and is resurrected by a Necromancer as a zombie which is only a zombie in name. Basically, it means he is weak to the sun, cannot be killed in any way (although its assumed disintegrating his body might work) and can release the barriers of the human mind in order to make himself super strong. Soon, a Masou Shoujo shows up, a pun of Mahou Shoujo, meaning Magical Girl, and accidentally turns the zombie into a cross-dressing magical zombie. He soon gathers himself a himself a respectably sized harem and goes to fight demons.

    No really, that is the legit plot; that is entirely the point. The anime revels in how silly the situation for the most part, but eventually spends a few episodes on a far more serious arc which honestly, was the worst part. The anime does not succeed in being serious, but is brilliant when it is being over the top, insane and loaded with fan service. (Guess how many times the Masou Shoujo gets up skirted or a panty shot or goes naked in the first episode)

    It really felt like the writers didn't know what made the anime so enjoyable for the majority of the anime and actually thought the plot or characters were good and well written. (So many cliché Tsundere's)

    In terms of soundtrack, its fairly mediocre, with a pretty boring opening and closing. Animation is alright, nothing amazing, (except on the incredible animation of those highly detailed panty shots) but totally acceptable for whats going on.

    The final episode is a strange one however, as it is basically an episode about shoving as much fan service into an episode as physically possible, and after it JUST ended a dramatic and serious arc, its quite bewildering.

    Regardless, an enjoyable anime that I would recommend if you just want a silly time and some fun, but don't expect good characters or plot. That is nowhere to be found here.

    Is this a zombie is peak

    Seasons 1-2 were just amazing, I liked all the charcters, the villains/antagonists were not annoying like other animes, the comedy was good, the art style is one of my favorites, this anime is so underated and the manga is just so good, I had fun reading it and I don't even like reading at all. This anime deserves a season 3 and more popularity.

    Extremely Funny anime with an abused yet cool MC

    I watched "Is this a Zombie?" and its Season 2: "Is this a Zombie? Of the Dead" in July 2017 and I quickly become captivated by it. The premise is obnoxiously bizarre, a highschool boy Ayumu Aizawa gets resurrected as a Zombie, but the situation puts him in a domestic harem situation which paired with his undead yet outwardly "alive" nature is very funny and wildly entertaining.

    He's surrounded by these weird fantasy girls, and is usually deplored unjustly by them.

    You watch it for the absurd humor in Ayumu's daily life and for the budding romance that comes with the girls. One busty gorgeous babe "Seraphim" a self-proclaimed vampire-ninja, abusing Ayumu who is outrageously sexy and gorgeous. She provides gratuitous amounts of female eye candy in sultry sexy modern dresses with her signature spaghetti tanktops that emphasize her breasts, fanservice and erotic moments, with Ayumu usually having to bare the brunt of her attacks...

    The music is also extremely catchy in both its heavily "pure anime" style opening and endings, its deeply japanese "cutesy" voice songs with a tint of bittersweet melody in them. The English voices are absolutely perfect and hilarious. Seraphim sounds sexy and Ayumu, the MC, sounds so cool and badass with his laidback attitude.

    Anime those days used to be so boundless in their craziness and extremity in the way of gorgeous erotic females around the cool main character. But Is this A Zombie? Takes its absurd setting and competently gives a funny romantic harem show around Ayumu that almost always leaves you in laughter or thinking about the embers of romance between the girls and Ayumu. 3:52am - 4:08am.
