So glad to see the idols back again



The main stars are back and even that zombie dog, Romero makes an appearance. Their manager is still hyper energetic but that's what I like about him. Not sure what direction this season will go but just glad to have the back.

WELCOME BACK the zombie idol girls of Franchouchou! The only sequel that I'm most elated for in Spring 2021.

@MegamiRem indeed they left Yuugiri out of the backstory realm for Season 1, this season will be her redemption arc.

Oh how we missed you zombie girls + eccentric manager, but as usual it's disaster after disaster for Saga, and to make matters worse, Kotarou is in the worst of shapes he's ever been. Not that Mamoru Miyano still had some fun in voicing the producer who's been helping Saga to be famous (that ultimately bombed and flopped HARD).

And what better way than to go back to the VERY FIRST concert Franchouchou performed at to get their stance back...without Kotarou, and back to square one with the experience earned from Season 1. It's so heartening to see these zombie girls rise to stardom once again, and it's be a fun ride all the while.

Here we come...more zombie idols, with Revenge...and an Eren sighted!

Hold on sec, I want to laugh. Was the song sung in the early hours the national anthem? or a military song? it sounds similar because they sing it with an uplifting tone, lol surprised by the that guitar, even though

Music S.T.A.R.T!!!!!

The legendary Tae still be the legend as always. Their performance was good and nostalgic especially the last song when the audiences start to fight.

Yesss!!!! Our fav Zombie girls are finally back. What a song to start this season with lol. Kotaro and the girls messed up bad and wow didn't think Kotaro would ever lose his heart like this. Thou it didn't take long for him to get back to his feet and the girls performance at the end was great, loved it.

What a crazy way to start this season, good to see this season will also be an epic ride. Looking forward to seeing more and I hope we get to see Tae chan's backstory finally.

Very glad to see the idols again, but most importantly, our best boi finally returns to managing the idols in the end. The idols knew he still got that spirit in him and they succeeded to lit it back again. Amazing.

"Not sure what direction this season will go but just glad to have the back."

I just feel that they will go more focused on idol behind-the-stage dramas instead like Season 1 which is rich in horror and comedy elements.

Year 2021 is indeed a good time to re-"ordain" Franchouchou as truly an idol group, when idol and music genre of anime are on the rise in the Japanese entertainment industry ...

And CyGames, MAPPA, and AVEX Picture just do some promising work here, I think ...

As someone that loves idol anime, the start of this second season is a complete mess.

Koutaro becomes a full caricature of himself doing a complete 180 from the hyper maniac producer to a complete downer guy on a very contrived reason, a huge debt. They have faced before a lot of flak during their long road to make Franchouchou the saviour of Saga for unknown reasons and they have even trashed the actual stage in the last episode of the first season, but now a debt makes him totally lose his goal that he has been harvouring for so long? And what does it takes for him to get back on the horse? the most overused and cliched pep talk coming from a bartender, even Apare Ranman did exactly this scenario with Kosame.

This alleged fall of Franchouchou feels as left fielded as Wake Up girls W that completely erases all the progress they made as public figures with just one bad event, and we all know how teribly this resurrection of the Wake up Girls franchise ended.

Hope they finally give us a good reason to stick with Koutaro's secret plan that has been lingering for so damn long with actually nothing but a promise.

It's great to have this crazy show back once again. Kotaro is still just as wacky as ever lol, there's never a dull moment when he's on the screen. Our idols seem to be having some struggles but that performance at the end seemed to be a step in the right direction for them. The song was really good too.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

The new 3D models look really good but sometimes they're still laggy. I hope that for the next songs they'll spend more time to render them at a decent framerate. Also the new song was really good, does anybody know its name?

Well, this is also my biggest issue when watching the first episode of Zombieland Saga Revenge, who inspires whom, who tries to reformulate the genre but starts to deplete the franchise's real identity.

Hopefully the Zombieland Saga Committee, especially the Zombieland Saga Revenge Committee, does not take the wrong path this season, at least if "these genres" are the foundation of the main story, comedy and horror elements will always appear as the plot devices, because that's what Zombieland Saga was actually built with.

Nice that it’s back.

The production quality has increased for the prrformances as well as the overall art and animation quality.

I do not like that we are essentially back to square one with rebuilding the group’s popularity after they way overbooked a venue and bombed offscreen. That shows very poor planning if you have to immediately backtrack on the success they earned at the end of season 1.

@teofilusSW Yeah, for me this show has always been a parody and deconstruction of an idol show, not just another idol show.

@Kimurah Like much of the idol anime, it was inspired by the sports genre. Nostalgic critic even mocking it in his video about 90s sports films.

@KANLen09 This show is so popular in Russia that ZS is literally the only ongoing that received a fan translation literally right after the premiere, lol.

I'm happy to know that the make-up from the trailers, was because of Tatsumi depression, not model changes.

That was weird to see Kotaro drinking alcohol and having long hair like that (even though I prefer him with long hair to be honest XD) but well seems like that depressing moment is already resolved for me, so happy that Zombieland Saga is back, it's been a while!!! Already a great first episode for the 2nd season!!!!
