Is This A Zombie Of The Dead Anime

Okay, let's talk zombies. Specifically, anime zombies.

We all know the classics: shambling hordes, insatiable hunger, the moans… But what about Is This A Zombie??

Here's my hot take, and brace yourselves: It might actually be a zombie...of the dead anime.

Hear Me Out!

I know, I know. It sounds harsh. The show has its fans. But, let's be honest, some things feel...reanimated from other shows.

We've seen the chosen one premise. The harem hijinks are well-trodden ground. Even the magical girl transformation sequences aren't exactly groundbreaking.

The Usual Suspects

Think about it. A somewhat bland protagonist stumbles into extraordinary circumstances. Suddenly, he's surrounded by eccentric, powerful girls.

Sound familiar? It should! This formula has been a staple of anime for ages. Is This A Zombie? doesn't necessarily *innovate* on it.

Instead, it kind of...borrows liberally.

And those fight scenes? They're there. They exist. But are they memorable? Not really. Sorry, Eucliwood Hellscythe fans!

The Flavor Profile

The show tries to spice things up. There's a talking chainsaw. Magical girl outfits for guys. Some genuinely funny moments.

But even those elements feel like they're trying *too* hard. It's like they threw every wacky idea at the wall and hoped something would stick.

And some of it does. I'll admit, I chuckled a few times. But the overall impression is… recycled.

Comedy or Chaos?

The humor is definitely there. It's a mix of slapstick, absurdity, and fan service.

But sometimes it feels less like clever comedy and more like random chaos. It's like they're yelling, "Look how funny we are!" instead of actually being funny.

It's the anime equivalent of tickling someone until they fake laugh.

A Zombified Legacy?

So, is it truly a "zombie" of anime? Maybe that's too strong. It's definitely not the worst show out there.

But it feels like a collection of tropes stitched together. A reanimated corpse of anime ideas.

It lacks a unique spark. That special something that makes a show truly memorable. It's simply...there. Existing. Moaning, perhaps, for your attention.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Maybe you love Is This A Zombie? and think I'm completely wrong.

That's fine! We can disagree. But deep down, you gotta admit, it's a little bit... undead, isn't it?

Just don't tell Ayumu Aikawa I said that.
