Synopsis

Do you know when you are going to die? Michiru Kita does, as she has the ability to see a "ring of death" on the necks of those around her—and the darker the ring, the closer one is to death.

One day, she notices that two boys in her class, Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana, have completely black rings. Seeking to warn them of their impending demise, she stumbles onto their secret: they are already dead, but are kept alive due to a contract with Zombie-Loan, a mysterious loan office. Of course, nothing comes without a price, as the boys must hunt down and kill zombies in order to pay off their debt. And once they learn about Michiru's "Shinigami Eyes," they drag her into their crazy world.

First up I wish to let everyone know there isn't just 12 episodes of this anime, there is technically more than 12 Episodes. There is actually 13 episodes. Proof of this is found on this website if you wish to confirm it for yourselves: http://kissanime.ru/Anime/Zombie-Loan please copy and paste and look at the information on the site (sorry to the writers of the summary of the series but maybe have a look at it too and or check your resource material. I just want to make sure everyone is receiving the correct information is all)

Story: 8

For a anime with 13 episodes it is quite a ... weird anime right from the word go. Girl has the ability to see who is going to die and see rings around their necks, before long she comes across the zombie guys who have a contract with a guy who is the caretaker and someone who guides people to the other realm be it heaven or hell. Overall the story isn't what made me curious or interested in this anime, but rather the characters.

Art: 7

It is pretty average in most circumstances, why do I say this is well for a anime released in 2007, I would have thought that it would have looked a little better. As art can often set the tone of a anime. Overall they at least did their best and in a way I like the feel the art style gives off to help make us all understand where and when this anime is set in. It also helps us understand that most of the events seem to happen after dark.

Sound: 5

For a anime released in 2007, the voices a clear and easy to understand what is said. It could however have used a Original Soundtrack of it's own to help give viewers a clear understanding as to how each character feels. Otherwise the opening just seems like a scream band of sorts and the words are hard to understand as to what is being sung.

Character: 8

As I was watching the anime I noticed that gradually we get to see a different side to each of the characters that we didn't see originally when the anime first started or when we started to watch it. And whilst Kita starts of as a obedient, well behaved average school girl who can see the rings around people's necks which are a sign that they are going to die. She starts off afraid of it but over a period of time she seems to gradually accept that it is apart of her and wo she is. Overall I liked that about her, cause it isn't often that a anime character starts off as somewhat of a weak personality. As of yet I haven't found any characters that I disliked or hated, be it their personality or not.

Enjoyment: 6

Right now I am up to episode 10 out of 13. Normally once I start a anime I will watch it to the very end cause I want to know if they achieve their goals or what they set out to do. But as I stated in the character section of my review, I honestly can't say I am finding it hard to follow or even anything that I honestly dislike as of yet. But it is defiantly interesting enough to make me want to sit down and watch it from start to finish.

Overall: 8

Look this anime has it's flaws much the same as a few others and sure there could be things they could fix to make more and more people watch this and become hooked on it but overall really can't pick out what I dislike or like exactly as of yet. But it is a different storyline in comparrasson to a few others to do with the dead or even spirits such as the anime xxXHolicXxx, but it is a anime that is worth seeing. After all you might like it. I think it really will depend on the individual as to if they would like it for sure. But do give it a go for yourself.

Mixed Feelings

Zombie Loan is one anime that made me question if it is better for a manga to have a bad anime adaption or just better not have an adaption at all because seriously, the Zombie Loan anime is not really good if we are being honest.

However I wouldn't call this anime bad because of the story. The story is really good, it's not just your everyday "We need to kill Zombies to survive" - series, it's way deeper than that (The main characters still kill Zombies in order to survive but it's different lol). The idea of how everything works in Zombie Loan with Zombies, ...

Not Recommended

I watched this series back in high school (like 10 years ago) cause a clingy friend asked me to and as I'm filling MAL from 0 to Z I had to add it, of course... Man, I think this is actually the first time I put 1 to an anime and I can't believe myself cause I really don't like to put a 1 in something I invested time...

I'm gonna put a 3/10 to art cause there's definitively worst art than this and sound could be a 2 or a 10 but idk and don't care either.

I'm not gonna talk about this anime cause ...
