Okay I want to say right off the bat that to enjoy what this anime has to offer you have to, like my friend always says: "Leave you're brain at the front doorstep". You can't go analyzing everything or else you really won't enjoy it at all. Sure the type of characters arn't very "original", and the fan service can be excesive.

But honestly, there arn't a lot of "original" anime out there anymore now is there? I can honestly say that other then Puella Magi and maybe Steins Gate, the newer anime are pretty much all "unoriginal". Now that I made that clear I ... can start with my review.

So the story follows a young highschooler named Ayumu Aikawa (actually a sunlight fearing zombie) who's put through all sorts of situations with his friends Eucliwood Hellscythe (a necromancer), Haruna (a maso shojo), Seraphim (a ninja vampire) and Yuki Yoshida or Mael Strom (a ninja vampire). Fighting both Megalo's (giant animal monsters) and even others like themselves.

So too sum up it's a harem/parody with a little Shounen adventure kind of twist in there. Because it's a harem I had to give it's story the rating I did because it's a harem, plain and simple. But personaly I liked the artwork because it fit it's characters and story nicely. It was a change from the artstyle that every anime seems to share now-a-days.

Now for the characters, personaly, and my judgement might be clouded with old age but, I loved the characters! Not enough for a perfect score because I to have standards when watching anime, but still. The tsundere was a masou shojo with a chainsaw! Not a useless mage like Louise, or a magical samurai *ahem* Flame Haze like Shana. Unlike other Harems the main protagonist could actually pull his weight in a fight unlike Tsukune Aono from Rosario+Vampire or Yuuto Amakawa from Omamori Himari.

So what I'm trying to say is in what the characters lake in depth they gain in attachement. You get attached to them and learn to love them during the story no matter how "unoriginal" they are. They aint no Goku or Haruhi, but they're still entertaining and loveable never the less!

Even if it is "unoriginal"! If you can look me in the eye and tell me that you didn't chuckle when you saw that panty shot of Ayumu in a maso shojo, then I'll be really surprised. I recommend this series to anyone willing to take a break from all the hardcore series', to relax, have a good laugh and enjoy the anime for what it is.

It's no Naruto or Bleach but hell, it's to DIE for XD!
