Laughed a couple of times, but not so much.
I know that this will not be as funny as the first two episodes. But I'll not drop this because why would I?

Better than last week's episode but oh boy, I'm beginning to think the first two episodes might have been flukes. I'm not an idol fan, and the first two episodes made me actually like the show because I thought they would tackle new genres every now and then.

Also thought there might have been some meta about how the idol industry actually treats its idols like shit and how they're pretty much dead inside, but I guess not.

hope we will have answers about it
in addition, he has some resemblance to Albert Wesker

why didn't the make-up on their feet came off when they were having a footbath

So many good expressions this episode.



Also Tae's Shaft headtilting.



Mamoru Miyano is still killing it as Kotaro. Man, how can be he so based? Loved the contrast of how callous he normally is with the zombies, yet how polite he was with the lady of the pharmaceutical company. And speaking about her, that last part of the episode was hilarious. The poor woman ended as bad as the Fighter from Goblin Slayer.
the facial expressions definitely is one of the show's selling point

The onsen didn't go as planned for the girls, but it was funny to watch for some reason XD I feel bad for the lady who got traumatized by the Franchouchou girls though...

For sure, this episode was better than the previous one :3 can't wait for more!

Feels like they keep suggesting there may be something darker going on in the background (like how in this episode they mentioned its weird they got brought back because bodies are normally cremated in Japan). I hope this actually has a pay off, there's nothing more disappointing then a dropping a bunch of hints that lead nowhere.

Didn't know those plasters are considered medical treatment in Japan, we use that all the time after playing a football game etc.

Increasingly disappointing as a comedy, there's only one joke. Perhaps it was primarily planned as an idol show and the surreal comedy was just an addendum, an aesthetic choice. In that case this shouldn't be a criticism

Anyone else got the feeling that the dance/idol segments feel a little bit off? I noticed that in the 3rd episode alreay, but now it looks like the dancing parts are made in 3D sometimes and then 2D again. It's a bit confusing to watch, to say the least...

I figured as much after last ep, but looks like they're just going for normal idol routines from now on. I don't think I'm alone in saying, I wanted to see them keep switching up styles.

And they did it again. I was expecting more.

Not so much the dance, but previous ep was obviously poking a bit of fun at idol drama.

- the first part was smooth like butter.. but the second part was fucked up like crap. (poor that old lady)
- i see.. Yamada doesnt awakaned yet. (but atleast, they added her VA)
- Koutaro always hide something important to the girls, but he still keep it secret... i wondering wat was it


Totally forgot that Tae-chans first name is Yamada, which kinda is the universal name for idiots in anime.

I think she is already "awakened", but maybe 'special'? Also it may be so that she never awakens, since that would totally destroy her reputation of saving the day by accident.

And I wouldn't waste too much thought on what might be behind anything, because even the characters themselves are asking those questions and never get an answer. Like how are their tongue's even so red, when the rest is naturally green/grey or where Sakura's hole went...

The majority of the episode was weak. If I wanted to watch some idol show, which I totally don't, I'd just be watching love live or something. I don't like how the main focus is being a regular idol show now. It's nothing new or interesting, and not what I was hoping from this anime. They are zombies and they shouldn't downplay the awesome comedic side to that, the greatness we saw just 2 episodes ago. But ok, the horror scare was a welcomed change of pace. It could've been funnier but I really appreciate what it was going for. In any case, maybe I'll warm to their character dynamics and chemistry, but for now I'm feeling negative every time Sakura says "we must practice" and people come on board with her and she starts saying their names (GOD that is done to death in anime). More funny wacky zombie stuff is what I need. Yamada Tae is the one saving this show right now!

literally only watching for Kotaro's Japanese voice actor. His delivery is actually really funny and one of the only voices recognizable to me in a subbed anime.

HOWEVER...

It looks like it's going to be a while until I get used to the opening theme song, the ending is already tingling my ears no problems though.
I hope they have a serious discussion on how they really became zombies, there's some controversy surrounding their manager, the way he always has his glasses on makes me think he is some zombie as well, trying to hide his creepy eyes, probably making makeup all the time too.
The CGI was just as horrible in this episode too, I hope they get over it.

Continuation of 3DCG cancer and garbage direction. I hate comedy scenes directed like this. One more episode and probably drop.

It's just a cheap excuse. I would "buy" this argument if this series was made by KyoAni, Doga Kobo or PA Works. But not Mappa. Mappa series are always full of "QUALITY".

I honestly thought there would be a side effect with those medicine patches but nothing happened. Oh well. I'm alright with that

I absolutely LOOOVE the scenes where they go all creepy. The animators do SUCH and excellent job with that it makes me think of Higurashi. I wish they would do a better job with the CG. It's cute but I just wish it was just hand drawn but I know that's a lot of work...'Love live' seemed to blend it a LITTLE better though...Actually seeing how people seem to hate on it all the time I'm going to not let it bother me any more. We've come a long way from the CG we used to have before so compared to that this is fine.

Sakura is actually impressing me with her leadership skills. If I had to describe it, there's definitely a sense of being able to get everyone hyped up.

Got another idol performance although it's more normal than the usual stuff. I think Sakura's confidence is also showing a lot more now. Seems this show has fan service too. Zombies in onsens! I love how Saki just jumped in there like a kid at a candy store.

The scenes in the dark hallways are hilarious. It's like the show is self aware of its tropes and plays around with it to make it into comedy.


I say Sakura makes me think of Honoka from 'love live' a little in that regard lol.

What about less CGI and more fun?

When I started watching this anime I had no expectations. Seriously; I started watching it because I saw the op on YT and said to myself: "This looks like a totally crazy show - I need to see it!"

First two episodes were really fun and my expectations got higher... But now I see it more like just idol anime with annoying CGI and few jokes. I hope the next episode will be better.

1- I didn't make my comment to make someone "care" about it. I just expressed how disappointed I was the show going on a direction I didn't enjoy it.

2- I really don't like to use this argument, but you're definitely contradicting youself by answering my comment like you did.

3- If it serves of any consolation, I've finished the show, and it was better than I expected. Even though I can only say it was an ok experience at best.

Can't tell if the rest of em scared that poor lady on purpose or naht hahahah
She straight up suppressed those memories lmfao

Kotarou is a good businessman tho. I wonder if he's hiding something behind that whack personality. That talk about how Japan cremates bodies... if that's the norm, why did he take the girls' bodies and how does he resurrect them?

If your wondering why the rest of the girls scared the lady manager I had a feeling that it was all part of Kotarou's fail-safe plan. Before their trip to Ureshino I imagine Kotarou talked to the two girls Yugiri and Lily, secretly of course, that in case if other girls ignore his warning on not going into the hot springs and if someone see them..."scare them to the point they lose their memory." Unfortunately the person they scared just happen to be the lady manager.

this episode is insane the chemistry is still fantastic, the characters are kind of like sisters or something like that
the show was so fucking good, just the cgi which is something that distracts the attention but the music is good along with the coegraphy, the fonts part is good and the censorship failed a little, but there is nothing there
the horror-like scene was very good, I loved it, only a comedy anime would do something like that

You can feel that the team is slowly coming together and their bonds are getting stronger. Saki is becoming a confident leader, Junko is starting to come out of her shell, Lily didn't screw up during the performance, and even Ai is now going along with the group's hijinks (with some reservations). Seeing the group start to look out for each other is really heartwarming.
