    Uncomfortable

    Do you like feeling uncomfortable? Do you like tasteless fanservice? Do you like unresolved romance? If so, this is the show for you.

    Honestly the premise of the show isn't bad, and I really liked some of the concepts, but it just overall was not enjoyable to watch. I felt like I shouldn't be watching it most of the time, which made me just not feel very good. Overall, it could have been good, but I cannot recommend you watch this.

    could have been awesome...

    I liked this show, but it had the potential to be so much better...

    Furuya is obsessed with zombies and his dream girl is a zombie, which would be weird normally, but this is anime...anyway, he meets Rea, a rich girl who has problems at home and wants to get away from her life and start a new one...meanwhile Furuya's cat dies and he uses an old resurrection spell to revive it (as you do) which turns it into a zombie...I won't spoil the story, but you can tell where this is going...

    The animation was cool and the characters were interesting, but it was fairly light-hearted stuff, considering the subject matter...I would have preferred them to go down a darker path and make it more for adults, but that's just me...anyway, it's still pretty good...

    Very Strange..

    This show left me asking myself "what the heck am I watching?" after every single episode. However, even though it was definitely weird it was also oddly captivating. The plot was interesting and though I was repeatedly baffled by the strange nature of the situation I still continued watching it. To be honest the show isn't bad but it did bother me how they tried to give a redemption moment to the father when he did very despicable things to his daughter from taking nude photos to slapping her repeatedly and destroying her relationships with others. I would have felt better if they didn't let him still have some leeway into her life (undead or not). Over all, it was definitely a step out of my usual comfort zone for me and would recommend to people who enjoy something odd and different

    I wonder why it has so low ratting what a shame..anime is fantastic..I love you it

    Very good anime specially for lonely people like me who are single And depressed.. Or heart broken Watch this anime it would heal you to fantasies More things... I love the concept.. But yeah anime have some adult seens Just like naked... But over all I love it.

    Everyone should know this anime.. I think lot ppl still don't know a master piece like this exist... The anime have some funny seens Also have emotional seens too I just can't explain it all My English is not good.

    I recently broke up with my gf Cuz shes cheating on me I just can't stop thinking of her But after watching this anime The plot of the story just stuck in my head.

    Great Series

    It really made me emotional and every single episode was great. I hoped for a Season 2. Which never occurred. I would recommend this series.

    • Trivia
      The original North American home video release of the series was recalled after it was discovered to contain the television version of the series, with censored nudity and gore, rather than the uncensored version. Once the release was corrected, the rating was changed from TV-14 to TV-MA.
