If this is how the anime continues to go, this might be the only idol anime I'll be able to finish.
Love the music parodies xD I hope they do all sorts of genres of music.

Holy shit! They're going to do the mandatory shitty 3D animation idol dance!
Now this feels like a real idol anime now!

I can just tell Sakura actually has some legendary past. The obvious answer would be an idol, but I hope it's something more.

She died just before becoming an idol.

can't get enough of that crazy Producer-san... lol

The OP animation is really cool

That Beatbox with random 3 dudes is really cool. So Catchy

Thankfully Sakura can save the day when Tae's head start to pop out. Lol
The Rap battle is good too damn...

Loving this anime.

Oh right, we might get the 3D CGI dance next EP... lol, seems it's pretty decent from the next ep Preview

I'm enjoying this show so much, man! :'D

It's so...self aware about how ridiculous the premise is, and regularly references JUST how silly it all is, but that's the thing. it isn't trying to be all that serious, nor does it want to be taken seriously, and that's what makes the absurdity work.

I knew the title of the episode, should've known the rappers near the middle of the episode to be foreshadowing, and i was STILL caught so off guard with the rap battle lmao. the animation during it was so fluid, and that's a nice detail.

a smaller thing i noticed after rewatching the episode-- i really like the child actor, lily. she doesn't get much sole focus in the episode, but she acts like a genuine positive kid (going "yo, yo, yo!" during the rap battle, getting the audience to clap, ect) and it's cute. i hope she gets to shine more later!

9/10 ep, this show continues pure greatness tbh.

Unexpected anime, but oh so lovable. Plus it's original, which I always go out of my way to at least give a chance because there should be more shows that were always meant to be animated.

MC is the straight man that gets crazy, but strong when pushed over the edge, the manager is such a silly sauce, Saki is awesome, Tae chan is adorably scary, and the show has no brakes.

Love it, unexpected gem of the season.

This had me laughing the whole way through.

The character designs are perfect for this kind of idol parody/comedy show. They remind me a lot Kiznaiver's characters designs (and some other Trigger characters), but the designs were done by different people.

And you gotta love Miyano Mamoru's role in the show. Tatsumi-san's script is literally Hououin Kyouma on steroids. Tatsumi-san is just a great character, especially for plot diversion purposes. So far, he's pretty much been like, "oh, you have a plot related question? Well fuck you, it is what it is, just accept it and do what I say." And MAPPA is all like, "We're making a zombie idol anime because this world needs a zombie idol anime. Just shuddup and watch it."

Someone explain to me what's cringy about it. You aren't the only one saying that. I'm sure I'm being stupid here but I honestly don't get it.

I could understand the "cringe factor" if they were bad at it but that RAP battle was good! You don't consider it music or what?!

Fantastic so far. The opening is oneof the best this year in my mind. Not the best production n it, but they had a ton of fun with it, and it's got a really nice stylistic touch to it with plenty of visual diversity. Probably won't skip it a single time. The ed is nice too with its hand made aesthetic, which is nice because I might remember to watch the end scenes.

Show has some great comedic bits and expressions in it. The first ep I was worried it might go too hardcore on the metal or idol themes, but with this episode they instantly blasted that worry away. I feel silly for worrying now! I love that they suddenly changed it up, I love how self aware it remains without being so self aware that it takes you compete out of it, and I love the nonsense wackiness that I'd almost more so expect from a trigger show (although trigger doesn't do this type of show).

May be one of the top 5 starts this season and that's saying something.

This episode easily tops the first one. I'm glad they're all awake and aware of their surroundings now.

Except for Tae-chan. She's just your regular zombie that bites other zombies and loves dried squid.

Kotaro has awesome makeup skills. YouTube beauty gurus ain't got nothing on him.

Loved the rappers at the arcade when they followed the girls in and honestly, aside from Kotaro, that police officer is one of my faves. His own rap was funny too.

The rap battle between Saki and Sakura was bomb. Hoping for more death metal in future episodes.

Pretty much. Like I said in my original quote its just not my cup of tea, and when it makes its way into anime, particularly in such an over the top fashion, I can barely watch it. Just personal preference.

I was a bit disappointed after a first episode, somehow the very idea of this show being an idol anime was very off-putting even if it had some cool and hilarious scenes. And then this episode happened...
What a magnificent feat of animation and refreshing original ideas, humor and style.

That rap battle was probably one of my favorite scenes in anime this year. This was so extremely refreshing and beautifully animated i was rewatching that scene many times. The opening is also fantastic, while i hoped for a heavy metal inspired track, this sentai styled intro works just fine too.


And then i see the preview for the next episode with that horrendous CG dance sequence and i am seriously conflicted. I really really hope, this show uses that scene for hilarious joke or parody, poking fun at this terrible feature of idol anime shows. Please MAPPA, don't destroy this show by transforming it into the usual idol anime with only one purpose - to sell generic JPop CDs... You have something amazing going on here, don't waste this potential.

I hate idol shows. I hate zombie shows. I nearly dropped this one after a single episode, thinking it would stop being unique once the idols "woke up."

But okay, anime. I'll bite.

It's great to see the girls finally awake. This episode was much better than the first. The animation was especially good. I loved the rap battle.

I really like Saki, I'm hoping the other girls get a chance to shine too.

I do feel for Sakura though, she's at least trying. But it seems that the Producer has a plan, and it's like he kind of has a hands-off approach when it comes to teaching these girls.

The rap was very short but content of that rap some what resemble the same way Eminem rap, which is talking the worst part of himself. In this anime it's talking about pain of being idol zombie and dissing about the elderly not caring about the next generation as an extra.

And that's my breakdown of this Zombie Cypher
