this series can be considered quite an old series of anime compared to others like K and Blood-C (uhhhh, so disturbing).
The series is obviously about Zombies, but non of them are really the kind of Zombies we would think about.
These Zombies are obviously dead people, but they don't go around eating peoples brains like we see in modern games and films. These Zombies are the type of Zombies who kill the Zombies that would usually eat peoples brains. (it confused me to)
We see the main character Michiru Kita as a normal high school student in the beginning, with her so called 'Friends' using her o run errands for them all andbeing used by them constantly. After the first episode we realise that thi girl is not normal and she is one of the only people who has eyes called Shinigami eyes. In this series the Shinigami eyes allow you to see either black or grey rings on peoples necks. If the ring is Black then the shinigami will soon take their life, if its grey it means that their life can be lived a bit more longer.
The other two main characters are Chika and Shito. These two even though allies, hate each other and have to pay off their loan in order to get their lifes back. These two are quite mysterious characters, as they both have their own secrets, they hate each other and they can both take off their right hand. when they do this their weapons are shown. There are distinct differences as Shito is only able to guide souls to hell before the Shinigami clams them whilst Chika can only guide souls to Heaven.
These three characters, and a freaky other bunch, make up the story line as they are the only ones who actually do the whole zombie hunting thing. But later on their appears to be another mysterious group who are creating Zombie Loans illegally.
The animation in the series does seem a little outdated for me, but the story line and characters tick all of the boxes for me. The only down side is that the fighting scenes are quite short and usually interuppted by their arguments or someone else getting involved.
A great watch for all ages no matter what type of anime your really in to.
