I watched this anime because the plot seemed quite interesting. A boy who loves zombies tries to bring his dead cat back to life, but ends up creating an actual zombie girl.

This anime had quite a few funny moments in it, and it did also touch on some dark serious themes, but it wasn't enough to distract me from all the plot holes. One of the most confusing things about this series is the fact that Chihiro appears to be a neko since he has cat ears, and occasionally makes a "Nyaa" noise. But nobody ever mentions it or points it out, and none of his relatives have cat ears.

Other confusing points centre around Rea being a zombie. Shortly after she becomes a zombie a certain problem arises but simply rectifies itself without any explanation. It's also ambiguous about whether Chihiro's family know she's a zombie or not. Sometimes they directly refer to her as a zombie, implying Chihiro has told them and there's no secret. But then at other times Chihiro seems to be desperately trying to cover up her odd behaviour as if they don't know. His cousin is called Ranko yet he refers to her as Wanko which is never explained either.

The ending is incredibly dissatisfying. To put it simply, there is no ending. The last episode leaves everything open with no solutions or answers. There's also a new character introduced in the very last scene but who remains nameless and we have no idea who she is. Presumably they hope a teaser of a new character would be enough to secure a second series. But since there is no second series this is just incredibly annoying.

Rea is an okay kind of character but there's nothing particularly interesting about her. Chihiro is rather unlikeable since he seems to get distracted incredibly easily. And the art style isn't very good either.
