Undead Unluck is a masterclass in slow-burning storytelling, weaving a tale of resilience, romance, and self-discovery that will leave you spellbound. This anime expertly crafts a narrative that's both hauntingly beautiful and deeply unsettling.
The premise is intriguing: two individuals, Andy and Fuuko, are 'cursed' with immortality and bad luck, respectively. Their paths intertwine in unexpected ways, leading to a complex dance of emotions and survival.
The romance is expertly handled, with a buildup so gradual and tender that it'll leave you breathless. It's not just a love story, but a exploration of human connection and vulnerability.
The characters are multidimensional and flawed, with Andy's stoic exterior hiding a deep well of emotion, and Fuuko's cheerful facade concealing a dark past. Their development is a joy to behold.
The animation is stunning, with a blend of vibrant colors and haunting imagery that perfectly captures the show's atmosphere. The soundtrack is equally impressive, elevating each scene to new heights.
What truly sets Undead Unluck apart is its exploration of resilience. In a world filled with darkness and despair, Andy and Fuuko find ways to persevere, to adapt, and to love.
If you're looking for an anime that will slowly but surely capture your heart, look no further than Undead Unluck. Be prepared for an emotional journey that will leave you changed forever.

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.

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.

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.
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.
