NOT EVEN HAIR CAN STAND UP TO THIS SHOW
So you know how there’s this awesome train called Madoka leaving from the station right now? Well you see it’s also traveling on the awesome track right now. And right now on this awesome track, another train is traveling called Kore wa Zombie desu ka?
Yes that’s right people. The anime to rival Madoka and both Noitamina shows has started to air.
Will I be the only one aboard this train? By all indications of my comrades’ responses in our Winter Preview, the answer seems to be yes. A reminder:
ExecutiveOtaku: I still think the entire zombie genre is lame, whether it comes in High School of the Dead-style bullet-time boobs or moe mahou shoujo. Pass.
Hana: Doesn’t look like a bad show, but doesn’t look like my thing either. Enjoy it, Mysty!
Chronolynx: Nothing here for me. No thank you.
Mystlord: It’s sad that my comrades just don’t understand just how awesome pink chainsaws and zombies-that-aren’t-really-zombies are. Please guys. Get on board the awesome train. One of the script-writers did Amagami, some of Katanagatari, some of Kuragehime, some of Lucky Star, and ALL OF STITCH! What’s not to love???
Crusader: Mystlord seems eager to martyr himself…I say DO IT.
ghostlightning: What Chronolynx said.
Impz: LOL?
I’m here to tell all of you to stop whatever you’re doing, and watch this show. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for since the moment I found out about this anime. Get ready people.
So what’s this anime about? Some random kid who’s a zombie. Specifics don’t matter. Who gives a damn about how he actually became a zombie? I certainly don’t. In fact, all I did during the first part of the show was just watch the cats.
You’re a WHAT?
I’m about to become one too aren’t I?
WAIT I’m ALIVE!!!!
Oh wait what’s this?
*Shuffle shuffle*
All riiiiiiight.
Oh wait. Did I say above that I didn’t give a damn about how he became a zombie? I lied.
So you’re the necromancer? Yes I do care… I do care…
Erm! Ahem. I mean just ONE girl in the show won’t make me gi-
I’m intrigued… Go on……
Ok I do care~ Go ahead and kill me~
This is not what was supposed to happen.
So you’re going to save me, then you become part of my harem right?
Wait what? MY HAREM NOOOOOOOOO!
Well it looks like I’m dead and you’re naked… How about you pass me my “lower half” *wink wink*
Unfortunately he gets no action… But he soon will… Oh he soon will…
In the best way possible~
BUT HE GETS RESCUED BY THE GIRL!
Wait.
Wait a second…
O_O
This is fine too.
And that’s pretty much the first episode. Convinced? That’s what I thought. This show has EVERYTHING. Like literally. Panty shots, possible kuudere, definite tsundere, pink chainsaw, ahoge, transformation scene, BL implications, and the list goes on.
Will this show’s slapstick comedy last beyond a few episodes? You know what, it honestly doesn’t matter, because like every other fanboy, I’ll just tune everything bad about this series out and there’s nothing you can say to change my mind that this show is awesome. So you critics are SHUT DOWN already. So instead of using that time that you were going to use to write up that comment, how about you go watch the show? If you already have, watch it again. You have no excuses for missing out what is most likely the best show of the season.

Love your mad MS Paint skillz. (Note: that ‘z’ should be backwards.)
I so pro. I no
Great show lots of laughs to be found here and a great cast of characters so far, we get a vampire ninja soon too! really odd combo but works so far.
Magic chainsaw ftw!
All this show needs is to keep it random and unexpected. Hopefully it’ll be able to keep it up
I agree with everything said here. That is all.
Wait, no, that is not all.
Dat ass.
Okay, that’s all.
Dat crotch & chest too right?
so what others impression?
if they are not yet watch it FORCE them!
They’re still to proud to admit that they were WRONG about the greatest show this season.
This show is amazing. I especially love the part where the magical girl doesn’t care about an innocent victim being killed by her enemy. More like oh okay casualties of war bye dude as I slice you in half.
I am glad the zombie thing isn’t really that big of a deal. I mean he is not eating brains or anything. Just that he is stronger and can survive being hit by a truck. Glad he is not rotting in the streets.
Also KITTENS!
My favorite moment was definitely Ayumu’s transformation scene. That was wrong in so many ways lol.
lololol so I gave this show a chance after I read in your
review it’s worth it (and I was so sure I won’t watch it at first)
and uh wow…. you convinced me to watch it I guess. There was just
too much awesomeness in one episode not to give it a try
=w=
I’m glad you’re onboard the awesome train. Excellent excellent…
I bought a pass for the awesome train. It’s not too late to get on is it?
My personal thing to say about this show is basically it’s not about ninja pirate robot zombies, but oh boy does it come close.
I think the cats will get themselves killed thinking they saw someone didn’t die on their sakes.
Well, I haven’t watched it so I think I’ll go for one screentime
I fully agree with this post.
As you should. :3
Had no expectations coming into this show, but I thought I’d give it a shot anyway. Boy am I glad. =D
Suddenly I cannot resist the urge to watch episode one. I shall do so immediately.
Expected nothing and got everything.
Man, Aikawa makes a pretty hot magical girl. Madoka has some competition. (If they ever team up, the world will explode.)
This makes me want to see a Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?xMadoka crossover hahaha
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the first episode of this series is. Definitely going to continue watching. Level E might rival it as the best series this season, imo. (Based off first episodes) This season might not be as hopeless as I thought it would be. There’s a number of decent animes.
If you want my fanboy side, this > Level E.
On a more srsbsns side, I fear that this anime and Level E might only be great for these first few episodes, and the producers might not be able to sustain the comedy beyond that. We’ll have to see though~
I agree with this post, and THAT WAS NOT A KICK D:
Perfectly fitting of her character lol. Also, isn’t Mystellein (or however it’s spelled) the chainsaw? So it’s the chainsaw’s kick? Eh whatever.
Was completely gonna pass on this show until i heard about zombies and pink chainsaws. Eh, what the heck. I’ll give it a shot…..THANK GAWD!!! Ayumu’s mahou shoujo transformation has still gotten me reeling in stitches. So wrong on so many levels yet so right in its absurdity. XD
It was the voice that did it lol. And the absolutely stupid music that kicked it all in XD
Lazy self-referential otaku anime in the same vein as Baka to Test
But strangely better.
So I was actually going to pass on this show, after reading the winter previews of this blog and Randomc, but I was bored one day, and it got uploaded on a anime streaming site i visit..so i tried it out…
and boy, am I glad I did, I think i was too dumbfounded and jawdrop to laugh, i was like those cats on the street, stuck in shock for 23 mins, and immediately spread the word, I even got my girlfriend to watch it, and she had no words for it, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing, lol.
I’m glad you are blogging it, i was worried when i only saw madoka up, (which i found so trippy that i have to continue watching)
Lol if I can keep this up for 13 episodes… Oh God.
There’s self-referential, and then there’s lampshade-hanging. Your mileage may vary.
thumbs up
Color me intrigued after I watched all of that. I found it quite hilarious, will be continuing to watch for a while now. Though whole stealing powers thing was rather… interesting though. Looking forward to what comes next.
Yeah, I pretty muchnignored this, too. Matter of fact, I think I choked on my drink watching this show. Despite the unfortunate fact that I was left staring at “man junk” in shimapan, this episode was delightful and hilarious. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I can’t wait for episode 2.
Also… I love the ED animation and music. I rewatched it four or five times.
This show made me laugh more than any other this season. Also, did anyone else think that bear the masou-shoujo killed looked like PEDOBEAR?
But there isn’t a real loli for pedobear to err… warn about! Yes that’s it… Pink chainsaw girl isn’t loli enough you see.
OMG WIN this is so god like im gonna cry
Its ok. your comrades will be secretly watching. Also reminds me of inugami.
Not exactly the best, but the silliest, and that’s all that needs to be done… SOLD!!!
Lol – Ok, after reading the post and comments I’m on board. (Just have to finish Amagami SS first!) Looks pretty sweet
this gives me a feeling it is going to be like princess resurrection
Princess Resurrection was even a quarter as funny though. I watched it for the harem, though the male lead was fail even though he was undead. He’s got nothing on Ayumu.
Episode 2 it out btw. Harem ftw.
It’s been a really long time since an anime left me laughing so hard…you’re totally right that this might beat the other shows in this season…
I have yet to see this series but it is on my To Watch list. I heard very good things about it yet I’m trying to finish Toaru Majutsu no Index first. Pink Chainsaw = Awesome!
I’m actually surprised how people expected nothing from this anime.
It might not be your forte but IMO that’s just fing stupid.
You can expect nothing out of the mainstreams however, that’s fine.
–Ontopic
Question, Myst. Have you seen Gosick? Does that have a pass to this railroad? Puella, Zombie, Gosick are all extremely different so it’s hard to not be biased and say ones better than the other simply because it’s your favourite.
IMO, #1 Puella Magi #2 Kore wa Zombie #3 Gosick
The reason Gosick is third, because while it has an amazing soundtrack (Which ALL three do by the way) there isn’t actually much else to the show than solving strange crimes murders and mysteries.
It does this fantastically though, I won’t deny that, it’s a brilliant series, but in the big picture there isn’t much of a story to it, whereas Kore wa and Puell Magi have stories that require you to think – Puella being the victor however because it is simply just such an amazing series and I hope it only goes for a max of 13 episodes. Anymore would ruin it and drag it out too long.
..ps.
Probably failed my post a lot but I am super sleepy and it’s hard to think
(^3^)/ bye
his best friend is the beast of this show look at those nipples LOL
sex
