Synopsis

Sakura Minamoto dreams of becoming an idol. Unfortunately, reality hits her like a truck, and she dies in a sudden traffic accident. Ten years later, she wakes up in Saga Prefecture, only to find herself a zombie with no memory of her past. While still coming to terms with her demise, she meets a man named Koutarou Tatsumi, who explains that he has resurrected her and six other zombie girls from different eras for the purpose of economically revitalizing Saga by means of an idol group. Assuming the role of an abrasive manager, Koutarou begins scheduling events; the girls go along with it, eventually deciding to name their idol group Franchouchou.

An absurdly comedic take on the idol genre, Zombieland Saga tells the story of Franchouchou's heartwarming struggle to save Saga Prefecture while hiding their zombie identities and rediscovering their past lives.

One of the best dubs I've ever watched!! The store was very unique nothing like you've ever watched before, I thought it was going to be a generic idle anime but the fact that the girls are zombies is a twist. I love the neo art style anime. I love hearing the protagonists og stories. You will definitely enjoy this short anime!! All of the characters are very endearing and you may relate to the characters of the story. The show is amazing and the manager is hilarious yet sleazy. I love the references to chickens and all of the old jobs the characters have ...

Mixed Feelings
Zombieland saga is a unique parody of an idol show with zombies instead of high school girls as the main group of idols. It excels at certain parts, but also fails at certain parts, though it was still an enjoyable watch nonetheless.

Let's start with the good parts. The show has a great focus on its characters, which is something you rarely see in shows with a huge female cast, such as idol, CGDCT, SOL shows etc. The first few episodes introduces us to the bizarre cast of characters, all with different backgrounds and even from different time periods. The best character though is hands down ...

While in the beginning it was interesting and the more character focused episodes were intriguing, the show felt quite boring and disjointed. I almost dropped it a little under halfway through.

While it feels like it is trying to be a satire of the idol genre, it doesn't do much to distinguish from them and just plays into it outside of a few gags and design choices.

Also the lack of cohesion in the music is really strange as they're supposed to be a music group. First you think it is going to be some form of metal, then rap, but it eventually devolves into the ...
