| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So glad to see the idols back again  The main stars are back and even that zombie dog, Romero makes an appearance. Their manager is still hyper energetic but that's what I like about him. Not sure what direction this season will go but just glad to have the back. |

| WELCOME BACK the zombie idol girls of Franchouchou! The only sequel that I'm most elated for in Spring 2021. @MegamiRem indeed they left Yuugiri out of the backstory realm for Season 1, this season will be her redemption arc. Oh how we missed you zombie girls + eccentric manager, but as usual it's disaster after disaster for Saga, and to make matters worse, Kotarou is in the worst of shapes he's ever been. Not that Mamoru Miyano still had some fun in voicing the producer who's been helping Saga to be famous (that ultimately bombed and flopped HARD). And what better way than to go back to the VERY FIRST concert Franchouchou performed at to get their stance back...without Kotarou, and back to square one with the experience earned from Season 1. It's so heartening to see these zombie girls rise to stardom once again, and it's be a fun ride all the while. Here we come...more zombie idols, with Revenge...and an Eren sighted! |

| Hold on sec, I want to laugh. Was the song sung in the early hours the national anthem? or a military song? it sounds similar because they sing it with an uplifting tone, lol surprised by the that guitar, even though |

| Really? Yeah, I totally forgot the first season or everything, I can't even remember the character names.... Thanks :) |
| Great to hear Taneda Risa after such a long time... |
 |
| Music S.T.A.R.T!!!!! The legendary Tae still be the legend as always. Their performance was good and nostalgic especially the last song when the audiences start to fight. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| ZOOOOMMMBIIIIIEEESSSS God I missed these, I love all of them, and super hype for the rest of the season to see their wild antics as usual. Great stuff. Zombie Thursdays are a GO! |
| Every episode of this franchise feels too short. I always end up wishing it's longer. |
| Yesss!!!! Our fav Zombie girls are finally back. What a song to start this season with lol. Kotaro and the girls messed up bad and wow didn't think Kotaro would ever lose his heart like this. Thou it didn't take long for him to get back to his feet and the girls performance at the end was great, loved it. What a crazy way to start this season, good to see this season will also be an epic ride. Looking forward to seeing more and I hope we get to see Tae chan's backstory finally. |
 |
| This is so stupid, but do I love it? Absolutely yes. |
 |
| I missed this so fucking much! NGL Koutarou-san going full adult Eren looks quite good on him! This and Maid Dragon S2 are my highlights of 2021 anime! |
 |
Very glad to see the idols again, but most importantly, our best boi finally returns to managing the idols in the end. The idols knew he still got that spirit in him and they succeeded to lit it back again. Amazing.  |
 |
| Kotaro is definitely Mamoru Miyano's best role imo. |
| damn Kotaro this ep looked like S4 Eren woah almost forgot what show I was watching for a sec but straight away the first idol performance is performed while a fist fight is going on, sasuga indeed |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |

"Not sure what direction this season will go but just glad to have the back." I just feel that they will go more focused on idol behind-the-stage dramas instead like Season 1 which is rich in horror and comedy elements. Year 2021 is indeed a good time to re-"ordain" Franchouchou as truly an idol group, when idol and music genre of anime are on the rise in the Japanese entertainment industry ... And CyGames, MAPPA, and AVEX Picture just do some promising work here, I think ... |
| That was one greeting. Great to have the insanity that is Zombieland Saga back. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It would be Zombieland Saga without a performance while the crowd is killing each other, god I missed this anime |
| What an amazing start to this season honestly really loved the episode already. Glad to see them all together and looking forward to next weeks episode! |
 |
| Yo this episode was good. Absolutely killin' it right out the gate, this season's gonna be the good stuff. |
| As someone that loves idol anime, the start of this second season is a complete mess. Koutaro becomes a full caricature of himself doing a complete 180 from the hyper maniac producer to a complete downer guy on a very contrived reason, a huge debt. They have faced before a lot of flak during their long road to make Franchouchou the saviour of Saga for unknown reasons and they have even trashed the actual stage in the last episode of the first season, but now a debt makes him totally lose his goal that he has been harvouring for so long? And what does it takes for him to get back on the horse? the most overused and cliched pep talk coming from a bartender, even Apare Ranman did exactly this scenario with Kosame. This alleged fall of Franchouchou feels as left fielded as Wake Up girls W that completely erases all the progress they made as public figures with just one bad event, and we all know how teribly this resurrection of the Wake up Girls franchise ended. Hope they finally give us a good reason to stick with Koutaro's secret plan that has been lingering for so damn long with actually nothing but a promise. |
| It's great to have this crazy show back once again. Kotaro is still just as wacky as ever lol, there's never a dull moment when he's on the screen. Our idols seem to be having some struggles but that performance at the end seemed to be a step in the right direction for them. The song was really good too. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I'm so glad the show is back, same, energy, same craziness and same studio, I was smiling for the whole episode. |
| Cute zombie idol girls are back on business! lol big concert flopped now to pay the bills, this should be fun. |
 |
| God I missed hearing Miyano go apeshit on this show |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| What a pleasure to see our idols again after all this time. Really fun first episode as I hoped, going to be looking forward to this every week as expected. |
| I need a show like this for now, and damn Tatsumi is as hilarious as I remember. Miyano is just a top-tier Seiyuu and carries this show for most of the time. |
 |
| Nice that it’s back. The production quality has increased for the prrformances as well as the overall art and animation quality. I do not like that we are essentially back to square one with rebuilding the group’s popularity after they way overbooked a venue and bombed offscreen. That shows very poor planning if you have to immediately backtrack on the success they earned at the end of season 1. |
| That last song was fire.... |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| @teofilusSW Yeah, for me this show has always been a parody and deconstruction of an idol show, not just another idol show. @Kimurah Like much of the idol anime, it was inspired by the sports genre. Nostalgic critic even mocking it in his video about 90s sports films. @KANLen09 This show is so popular in Russia that ZS is literally the only ongoing that received a fan translation literally right after the premiere, lol. |
 |
| FranChouChou is back! An episode even focusing on the producer?! Not bad not bad...well idol music is the reason and solution for everything! |
 |
| Is good to see Eren....I mean Tatsumi again,even depressed. I'm happy to know that the make-up from the trailers, was because of Tatsumi depression, not model changes. Yugiri as always beautiful. Was cool the mosh pit concert. |
 |
| That was weird to see Kotaro drinking alcohol and having long hair like that (even though I prefer him with long hair to be honest XD) but well seems like that depressing moment is already resolved for me, so happy that Zombieland Saga is back, it's been a while!!! Already a great first episode for the 2nd season!!!! |
