The characters in this show are probably about as tropey as it can get with anime just filling in the blanks with each of our girls and then we get the big hitters. The LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE and the groups producer Koutarou Tatsumi (voiced by non other the Mamoru Miyano AKA Okabe Rintaro). Tae had a good role of always being comic relief which is weird to think about in a largely gag concept of "zombie idols" and I wouldn't have it any other way with the antics she gets up to. Koutarou on the other hand is largely shrouded in mystery as to who he is and why he wants to save the Saga prefecture with an idol group whilst simultaneously berating our group in the funniest ways possible with incredible delivery.
Part of me wants to give this an 8 or possibly a 7 just because the dance sequences where done in pretty bad looking CG that made for really jarring cuts back to full animation but I have a feeling that was done intentionally as to mock its other contemporaries in an almost deconstruction nature of idol shows. Deconstruction of Idols is probably the most apt name for this show giving how it handles a lot of the things thrown at it and the cookie cutter nature of it characters.
If anything it having this quality probably makes this show sit comfortably at a 9 for me. It was a good time every week I tuned in for each episode had great gags, excellent chemistry between our characters and definitely showed off the better parts of idol anime while at the same time bashing it and always had me wondering what our undead girls were gonna get roped into next week.
