| Franchouchou S2 HERE WE GO!!! 5/5. |
 |
| This sucked. Humour was the only thing this show had going for it. In the first season even characters being down was played for laughs because show like this can't do properly anything serious, so starting off second season with something so bland and pointless just to show that guy is depressed is an awful idea. Bad CG could be treated as tongue in cheek in the first season but now there isn't much explanation for giving people eye cancer. I think I'll pass on it. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| They better feature this in the Top 10 Anime Battles of 2021 |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
Possible new recurring character? Design stands out among all the fodder, plus she's the only one seen not fighting once the brawl starts. |
| Hmmm.... I'm concerned about the time Koutarou mentions. Do zombies have an "expiration date"? It will be sad if Koutarou fulfills his/girls dreams and then they "vanish". To think about it, what kind of a future can a zombie have?! |
| Welcome back Franchouchou!... Is what I like to say but I just finished the first season like hours ago lmao. Damn, Kotaro really went through his tatakae phase. Those 2 punk fans are OG's, they've been there since the beginning and they threw them hands for our girls, respect. I wonder when and what that deadline Kotaro mentioned is. I noticed that Ai used Kotaro's surname for work, I assume they probably all did, that's pretty sweet. Looking forward to the next episode! Also that concert was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen lmao. The new song was really great though, Junko is still killing it. |
 |
| Well, the CG is improved at least, but by 2021 standards it still looks terrible. The set-up for this opening episode is honestly pretty contrived as well, with Kotaro stupidly rushing into a concert well above their level of popularity and then wasting a month being depressed; the show is trying to suggest there's an urgency to this project (i.e. that there's probably an expiration date on the reanimation of our zombie girls) that made him feel like he had to do that, but if he can just waste a month afterwards it obviously wasn't that urgent which makes that decision of Kotaro's even dumber than it already was. If things had just picked up where they'd left off without this arbitrary, out-of-character obstacle in the way, I don't think we'd have lost anything at all. Beyond this episode, I have concerns about how this show can keep itself fresh and entertaining for another cour, as this episode has very clearly shown me that the serious approach - which is surely inevitable as the "deadline" looms closer - is nowhere near as good as when the show embraces its novelty and doesn't take itself remotely seriously. That being said, while the concert at the end clearly fits in that category, it also feels very contrived that most of their dedicated fans would suddenly turn on them because of the concert where they bit off way more than they could chew. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Franchouchou is back! So many things have happened...now they're in a debt, they're working to pay that debt, Koutaro has gone crazy... That song about squid tho, I'm gonna get addicted to it. This one wasn't that iconic like the S1 E1 but they still made it chaotic in a different way. I was really hoping to see Koutaro running to the venue and start beat boxing....but their encore song was actually really enjoyable. Miyano Mamoru just being himself as Koutaro was what I missed the most XD  (โ∇โ*) I don't really understand about the expiration date thing but if it's true then we're up for a possible emo ending...

Oh no, it means we will can have some good byes to our zombie idols in the end of the season, because their "awakened times" will get run out? ๐ I hope they never close Zombie Land Saga project ASAP.

| I started laughing when the girls stopped the fight just by singing and dancing. In Argentina, the fights that start during a concert are called "pogo", and it was very funny to see "japanese" people doing the same, given what true japanese singers had said to us during their performances. Anyway, I love this series, that slapstic comedy really gets me. Also also, I think I heard the Naruto Shippuden's Tsuchikage in this episode, Am I right? |
 |
| A depressed man beside the sea,he has long hair and messy beard,who is this? Forget Eren,he has been in the past.IT IS KOUTAROU,the hero of saga.The first episode is perfect as the first season,glad to see Franchouchou has returned.Hope they can bring us more wonderful lives! Ohayogozaimaaaaaaaaasu~ |
 [/url] |
| I’m so glad they didn’t drag out that whole kotarou thing for the whole season if they did I knew this season would’ve been a downgrade but I’m so glad they didn’t. Honestly though it was a very good first episode and the song? Absolute banger. Now it feels like the next episode is gonna be the actual first episode I can’t wait:) |
 |
| Nice. Didn't remember that Ootsuka Houchuu was voice actor in this anime. Was great to hear his voice. And he helped (seems intentionally) by provoking Kotarou into action. I wonder about the plan (which apparently has a schedule) - hopefully we will get more info earlier the next episodes and not only in the last 1-2 episodes. |

| So, a little more serious episode as the start of s2. I hope the humor that made s1 so great will be featured in future episodes. Overall this episode felt mediocre. Ofc more CG song scenes, because ofc there would be, since it's Mappa. I'm still waiting for day when they can do 2d animation like normal people On a side note, did VA for Saki change? She sounds somehow different from s1 |
 |
| Great come back of our zombie idols! <3 |
| THE LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE IS FINALLY BACK!!! Honestly, I wasn't really a fan of S1's second half so let's hope this season is more about the girls trying to pay their debt in the wackiest way possible without much melodrama involved. |
| WOW! I'd forgotten how much I loved this series and how much I missed it. The whole episode a stupid grin was on my face! It's been about two years, right? Since the first season... it feels like forever ago... I'm super glad it's back. I remember saying that I wanted more! I'm so happy OMG! |
ZenielDanaku said: Also also, I think I heard the Naruto Shippuden's Tsuchikage in this episode, Am I right? My bad. I am ashamed I dind't recognize Jiraya's voice :( |
|
| Great ep, kotaro and sakura go so well together. |
 |
| MAPPA once again bringing back our Idol... Wow what an amazing Comeback for Franchouchou! That two Loyal Fans are so dope, they Killing the audience lmao That performance song was Fire ๐ฅ Love it, can't wait for more Miyano Mamoru carrying the show once again.. That man is a Legend. |

| Welcome Back, Franchouchou |
| Kotaro stole the episode for me. Him looking like a homeless dude was hilarious af. Voice acting by Miyano Mamoru was amazing as always. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Thank god they put more budget into the CG this time around lmao. |
"I just keep moving forward. Until my debts are destroyed." |
| seeing him like that is so weird |
| When they said Death Metal concert, I really wanted the legendary Yamada Tae screaming the roofs out. Hope we get some of that soon. Also the girls getting jobs was picture perfect. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Seeing Kotaro like that remind me of the fanatical dude from Oyasumi Punpun lol. Anyway nice start. I missed this anime |
| I've just finished the first season a couple of weeks ago and now i'm ready for the second part. LONG LIVE FRANCHOUCHOU! |
| I seriously missed this series. So glad that it's back! It's probably one of my favorite anime originals. <3 <3 <3 |
 |
| Wow, so boring. And to think I liked the previous season. @RayReynolds You'd probably prefer Wake Up Girls. |
| ใใฎ็ฎใ ใใฎ็ฎ๏ผ |
| ok, i was expecting a ton of Eren comments and im seeing them LMAO |
   |
| Kotaro is soooo funny lol he looks like Eren of AOT hahaha but I feel sad to what happened in their idol career. I thought it's a happy ending but disaster came. It's really sad but Kotaro is funny can't help. I like his passion for idol stuff. I forgot why he's soooo into it. It's confusing me now. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
Syureria said: Really? Yeah, I totally forgot the first season or everything, I can't even remember the character names.... Thanks :) don't worry! the whole job thing is new. also the only name i can remember is tae-chan because she's so iconic |
 |
| This is the 1st and last Idol Anime i'm watching, and mostly because the OP attracted me, even i knowing that was just full mislead. That said, i'm happy that it is ORIGINAL! OMG HOW I LOVE ORIGINAL ANIME The only kind of anime that you can freely theorize about everything without manga/novel readers coming to confirm, deny or spoil everything about it. And in this show there is only one mistery: AntwanMantilla said: What I'm most curious about is what Koutarou meant by the project to revitalize saga having a hard "deadline" - The girls have an expiration date. That is it. They will not be (re)alive forever. That is the most obvious reason why HOBO EREN become depressed that way. He wants them to acomplish the dream before they have to be just-dead again. Lesser obvious reasons are: - The world is going to end, and just an Idol Group of Saga Taking the World can prevent that - Aliens are going to invade Earth, etc. |
 |
| The opening song was surreal and interesting. The ending felt the power of the idol. It seems to be difficult to apply a thick coat to the human complexion. |
My Candies: |
| Yessss! Let's do the damn thing!! I'm really interested in what's with the hard deadline. How long the idols can stay back alive maybe?? Dunno! |
| It was actually real pleasant seeing them work like dead normies, what a great analogy. But that ending really was a manifestation of chaos and wtf... lolz |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| FRANCHOUCHOU IS BACK!!! It started off really great the 2nd season, let's see how the girls will do to stand out again. and the song was really good! |
Suoilleber said: Possible new recurring character? Design stands out among all the fodder, plus she's the only one seen not fighting once the brawl starts. I have an idea for this girl. With the FRANCHOUCHOU rising popularity and sponsorship will flocking over to that idol group Kotaro Tatsumi is going to be business than ever and might need a extra hand on the idol business. So he takes his chance in hiring he/she knowing the girls true secret and extra hand happens to be this teenage girl in that picture. Simply put she would be the April O'Neil of Zombieland Saga and also she happens to be a fan zombie horror movies. What do you think of that idea? |
Suoilleber said: Possible new recurring character? Design stands out among all the fodder, plus she's the only one seen not fighting once the brawl starts. Wow ..Wait ..wtf ๐.. How did you knew that .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's an Original anime ..? I'm scared lmao .. Brilliant guessing I'm really jealous.. |
