I didn't have high expectations for Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, seeing it's an ecchi harem and that's not usually my cup of tea, but found myself enjoying it a lot. It definitely got me hooked and I went through the 12 episodes pretty fast.

The comedy was one of the main things that grabbed my attention, since it doesn't take much too process. It's perverted to say the least (panty shots, boobs, girl and guy butts, you name it) which caught me off guard sometimes, but just added to the hilarity. There's also some sarcasm, breaking of the fourth wall, and just flat out immaturity. It made me laugh out loud a lot.

One thing some might have a problem with is the lack of of a consistent plot. Each episode bounces from one thing to the next, occasionally bringing ideas from previous ones with it. Often things are resolved quickly and then something new would pop up to replace it. A few parts of the story also carried action along with it, which surprisingly had some gore in it. The gore-factor though was kind of hard to take in while teenage boy Ayumu, the main protagonist, is dressed as a magical garment girl wielding a bright pink chainsaw.

But the not very strong story wasn't an issue for me- I was too busy enjoying the characters! I really liked all of them, my personal favorite being Eu, the necromancer who uses a pen and paper to communicate. (Or as Haruna would say, "neck-wear mancer") I thought the dynamic of the characters worked together very well, especially in the show's comedic sense. You definitely can see a lot of the stereotypical anime tropes in cast, but all of the characters' quirks help soften the edges of the easy to spot tropes.

Overall I really liked Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, and would recommend to it anyone looking for something short, funny and easy to enjoy.
