Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka!

Type: Anime
Status: Complete (12 episodes)

Premise: After being brutally murdered by a serial killer Ayumu Aikawa is resurrected as a zombie by a girl he had only recently met; she never speaks or shows emotion only communicating through a notebook that she keeps with her. Eucliwood Hellscythe is the source of all magic in this world; an immortal being that holds almost unlimited power, she must maintain strict control over her emotions for fear of losing control and never speaks because her words manifest physically weather she wishes it or not, she is alone and all around her will wither and die given time. Ayumu now indebted to this girl for saving his life promises to stay with her, loneliness needs company after all.

Thoughts: This is not quite as I described it actually, everything I said was true but the tone of this anime is actually rather light and fun (I kind of wish it took this darker root though). I actually rather enjoy this anime for its humor and some truly interesting characters.

Prose: Well animated, great sense of humor and a solid concept makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.

Cons: Beware the frilly pink dress! God I hate that thing! Wouldn't have minded a little darker atmosphere to this anime personally, bring out some more development of characters over the humor and I think we would have had a great concept going (personal views, not to be viewed as actual criticism to the anime!).

-Notes: Subbed only. The ending is a little abrupt and I personally thought that it could have done with a few more episodes.

8/10          (The protagonist of this anime is a zombie, do not try this at home!)
