Undead Unluck

With the conclusion of her favorite romance manga, Fuuko Izumo is ready to end her life of misery and loneliness having long accepted her fate of never being able to experience passionate love like fictional characters. Cursed with "unluck," anyone Fuuko touches is in grave danger of experiencing unimaginable calamity.

While the possibility of imminent danger would have most sane people run in the opposite direction, Undead has other ideas. He is an immortal being with superhuman regenerative powers desperately seeking death, which has always eluded him. When their paths finally cross, Undead sees an opportunity to finally end his suffering by using Fuuko's unluck.

But before Undead can unlock the full potential of Fuuko's power to trigger the final devastating blow, the duo must first fend off a murderous secret organization hell-bent on exterminating those with special abilities.

It’s a pretty interesting story with a world of rules and negators who have powers (mostly unwillingly) to negate them. The plot by itself sounded fun but I don’t think he watched an anime earlier that brings together shounen and shojo elements so well.

Undead Unluck is fast paced and keeps you interested throughout. I love the concept, the characters and their development. It’s funny, romantic, action packed and has leads you actually feel for. Andy seems initially as a beefy guy with no feels, and Fuko the quintessential shounen FL - all boobs and no use. But interestingly, their characters unveil to be both ...

Mixed Feelings

This anime has many good things, but in one way or another it manages to generate rejection.

Undead Unluck is a rollercoaster of likes and dislikes. The work is designed so that, regardless of your preferences, you find one or two elements that capture your attention. At the same time, since it wants to cover more topics than it can handle, you will inevitably also encounter elements that will make it difficult for you to move forward with the story. Some decisions and devices used in the story seem more like a cry of "Please look at me again" than trying to tell a meaningful story.

The ... protagonists go from bad to good, at first they have no chemistry at all and the interactions (quite physical interactions that border on harassment) are uncomfortable for the viewer. Andy starts out as a stalker who only seeks to touch a girl's body with the excuse of seeking the best possible death. Fuuko starts out as a stubborn girl full of idealism but who can't do anything for herself. As the story progresses (I don't know if the world itself or the author realizes that this dynamic is strange) it is decided to change the focus of the relationship between these two. Putting them in the spotlight of a romance, which still feels awkward, but is more enjoyable to watch.

The secondary cast is a negative point. They have many characters with different powers and personalities, but which they refuse to actively use. Secondary characters are usually used as sources of information, but in a fighting shonen one would expect them to be used to show various confrontations. We are in an anime where each one has a special power, the beauty of this type of anime is seeing how each of the powers interact with each other in the fights. The main organization has 13 members, of which we only see 4 participate in the missions. The others remain as mere extras.

On the other hand, villains or antagonists are better used. I'm not saying that they are villains who are malevolent and are going to put the protagonists in constant predicaments, causing them to earn our hatred. They are villains, who, like the protagonists, are motivated by the very nature of their powers. They all have the same objective, the only thing that differentiates them from heroes or villains are the methods they use to reach the goal. Without giving any spoilers, in the middle of the season an event happens that undoubtedly makes you put on the edge of your seat waiting for what is going to happen in the next chapters.

In conclusion, Undead Unluck is an anime made to try to please as many people as possible. Because of how it is designed, it is very likely that you will end up liking more things than you disliked. To the people who drop it, don't worry, it's normal since the structure of the anime is a double-edged sword, just as it can attract people, it can also drive them away. In my case, if a second season is announced, I will be waiting to see if it improves and seeks to have its own identity.

A few years ago, David production were working on a new shounen title called Fire force. Long story short, it was a decent watch dragged down to mediocrity by one major flaw, the fanservice. The show couldn't resist shoving tits and ass right in your face every few minutes, even in the most inopportune of times, like the middle of a fight. It honestly amazes me just how much damage this decision managed to do. It's a damn shame, since the rest of Fire force was solid, but this single decision managed to change my rating from very good to above average. So how is ...
