One of Weekly Shonen Jump's biggest hits, mangaka Yoshifumi Tozuka's Undead Unluck, finally hits the anime courtesy of David Production, running for 2 cours! Too bad that Disney+ / Hulu will be streaming this.
The whole beginning sequence for the anime is anime-original, based on the female MC Fuuko Izumo reading her favourite manga to the very end, only to decide death because of her curse-winding body that if touched will incur disease, and pitting against the half-naked Andy who got killed while saving her, she is unlucky, but the zombie is an undead who can repair his body by itself. Andy literally forcing Izumo to tell him of her disease, and through rooftop stunts, the now naked guy forces her to reveal the truth about her.
The thing is, for her parents to die right after being sent off in a plane accident, Izumo surmises that anyone whom she touches will be cursed, which the zombie puts that to the test, which a barrel of bananas dropped on him and Izumo slipped out from the rooftop. Andy coming in for the save because he can finally taste real death with her unlucky streak, and decides to hog her for his own research, not knowing that external factors also want Izumo's quirks.
So then, begins his research on Izumo, which she runs away from the pervert and releases her cap in the process to show her long hair, that Andy helped to cut her hair since he was a stylist before. But it's the same people who found both Izumo and Andy as protectors from things such as UMAs, and especially ones who understand her Unluck powers. And even though the zombie's head is trapped in the capsule, Izumo's Unluck in the form of a lightning bolt gets his out, though she didn't understand why he is giving his life for her that much. And with the one stroke of a kiss, Izumo enables her Unluck to get rid of their perpetrator with a meteorite and gave the zombie his name: Andy.
The quest for the greatest death ever: Undead Unluck. What a great premiere of Chapter 1, along with Queen Bee's OP.

why is it bad disney is streaming this? u want a crunchyroll monopoly?
| @MrHunterxHunter yes i do prefer all stuff in CR. i just have to pay One subscrition for all the anime. And disney+ in portugal does not have all the portfolio and hulu not available.... like many others. So yeah, for me all anime in CR would be a bless. So... CR and the rest i go to good old bt. |
| Very impressive start. Both leads are fun too. Now I wonder if Andy has the right idea that going further than kiss will yield better unlock lol |
| Wth did I watch. It started with me not knowing what anime im watching to a meteor hitting the entire place??. I can see this becoming popular, I wanna know how they'll keep us pretty entertained with all this going on |
| Pretty good first episode. Might let this one build up episodes though and binge it. OP sounds good. |

@AurasNep I mean, I can see what episode 2 has to offer. But the show is all over the place. It wasn't funny, introduce a bunch of weird stuff without explanation or premises. 50% of the episode the zombie is flying around by shooting blood out of his missing limbs, looks cool, but it's kinda pointless.
The story is basically, "feel sad about cute girl because everyone that touches her dies." In case it's a full comedy show, story does mean less, and this kind of slapstick-look-at-cute-girls comedy just wasn't for me.

| @Juggaz As someone who's read the manga, there's a lot more to the story than that. A lot, lot, more. The "cute girl who is sad" plot will be over and done with, almost before even half of the first arc is over. I do think you missed a little about how some things in the episode work, though. For example, Andy isn't just randomly flying around magically by shooting blood everywhere, he's using his power of regeneration to constantly regenerate the blood within his limbs, which forces the blood that's already there out of his body. There's a very solid logic to how the powers and worldbuilding work in this show, which will get expanded upon as the story progresses. Also, the first plot has already been established: Fuuko and Andy will be working together to find a way for Andy to die. |

| Wow that was a lot of fun. Amazing first episode. THAT KISS!! |
 |
| Looks promising! I love this pair already! |
| great episode, if the quality of the story and art stays the same this gon be a banger |
 |
| That was amazing - I can already tell that this is (at least my) show of the season. |
 |
| Great anime! Just felt The first episode linda rushed. It started calm and emotional, them jumped straight for the action and frenetic dialogues. Ive liked it but i want it to slow down a bit so we can actually feel the characters |
| Seems a little too fan servicey for my taste, but, I'll give it a shot. |
| So Yup that was good, not what I expected but yes give me more please. |
 |
| Such a random concept but nevertheless entertaining! Just from this first episode I could see this being a really fun journey, especially if its able to keep up with the tone that it's set. |
 |
| Strange animation with a plot interesting!! Hilarious, the men stay all the day nude!!! kekeke |
| Well that got wild very quickly |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| The first impression is really amazing, the art of animation was fantastic David Production studio did a great job |
 |
| Am I the only one who felt disappointed? Especially by Andy's voice. I always had such a distinct voice in my head from him and this one feels so wrong. Fuuko's was also too high-pitched for my headcanon. Too many awkward animation shortcuts. Fuuko comes off a lot whinier than she does when I read it, it feels so tropey. Especially the sexual harassment parts, which is way faster to read past than it is to watch. For the first episode, I feel it's weak and will put a lot of people off. I know this isn't the greatest manga of all time but I'm worried the adaptation may not capture what got me to read it all this time. |
 |
| Amazing fun episode. Though I wonder about her power. Unluck could be a very unique ability if done right or it could just be convent plot armor to resolve anything through bullshit if done wrong. |
| It was really hilarious to see the MC naked and the other have a unluck skill XD |

| I hope there gonna be moe proper plot later. The concept is nice, and the vibes are kinda like Zom100 -ish, but I hate that oversexualized teenager ends up in ambiguous situation with some old guy. -.- |
   |
| this reminds me of early Trigger works! Im in! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Wow, I'm in complete shock of how much I enjoyed that. I was not expecting much from this anime at all through the synopsis. However, I really enjoyed the first episode. This anime is ACTUALLY funny. So many animes I've heard people say are funny but didn't make me laugh at all, this one definitely did. This is one that doesn't take itself super seriously and is something that allows you to just turn you brain off and enjoy chaos. Not just any chaos, but chaos that's actually done creatively and done well. Very excited to continue watching this. |

| Cool start, couple of things I didn't like in the Fire Force anime aren't quite making this a better experience. But yeah, I'm all for what Yase can cook here. |
