When I first started Zombieland Saga, I wasn't sure what to expect. About halfway through it, I almost dropped it. But I'm glad that I finished it. And here's why:

Zombieland Saga is full of comedy and that's why I stuck around for as long as I did. Some of it is repetitive and abrupt but it's this which makes it even funnier (sometimes). The story itself is simple though and some may find this boring. But it's easy to get into even if idol anime isn't your thing. (Trust me, I'm one of those people.) Also, the anime's use of flashbacks near the end of the 12th episode made the episode more powerful that it already was.

And the characterization is good. Not great but good. You learn more about the characters and their backstories as the anime goes on. Unfortunately, some characters weren't very explored. This is kinda obvious considering that we find out more about two of them naturally and the later episodes explore a few other characters in a noticeably episodic manner. This isn't necessarily bad but, because of how the backstories are done later in the series, it's pretty obvious when some of the characters aren't covered. The timing of the main character's backstory was done well in my opinion and I really enjoy being able to notice and learn one thing at a time about a seemingly blank but funny character.

The art is pretty good; it's bright and looks really nice. The animation is great most of the time but some may not be a big fan of the CGI. The transition between the normal animation and CGI is very noticeable and the speed of it is kinda slow. The characters themselves don't look too bad in CGI though.

The sound is great. The opening is funny and catchy. The ending song is sweet and nice sounding but it's slow and lacks energy. That's normal for ending songs but it's not something I listen to every episode. The songs they sing together are really good though. It's nice being able to hear the voice actors' singing voices.

Story: 9
Art: 9
Sound: 10
Character: 8
Enjoyment: 10

Watch this anime from start to finish. It's comedic but becomes inspiring later on. The anime turned itself around and became something I didn't expect. Overall, this anime deserves a 9. I'm going to miss this series a bit.
