Certainly unexpected, but mostly unfunny. They baited me into watching the first episode though, so might as well finish. Hope the comedy gets better after this setup.

Holy crap what is even going on, I loved it, this season delivering on comedy so far, pretty funny to read so many edge lords ending up disappointed too.

As absurd as it is I absolutely love it!

Hoping for a more moe version of High school of the dead and somehow we ended at death metal zombie idols show!

Glorious AF!

Yeah it was super regional with the slang, hope they turn it down a bit.

You should always watch something and decide by yourself, heck the 3 episodes rules is your friend, it is an original idol zombie parody/comedy so take that as you will, if you are into comedies it had a great start.

Babymetal who?



Well go check out broken by the scream group. They are more perfect for your comparison.


Idol metal is not really the metal that I listen to, so Babymetal is the only one that I even heard of. I will check it out though, out of curiosity :D

This episode was a blast I did not see coming.
I'm also glad this anime didn't represent metal fans as brainless monkeys who see everything as sexual (something I can't forgive DMC for)

After last season's Satsuriku no Tenshi and Happy Sugar Life I was expecting another edgy shit like that, but wow this really was a surprise. The 1st ep was really funny, I hope they don't fuck it up later.

whew that was... nothing like i expected!
honestly i don't know how to feel LOL i'm torn between loving and hating it.

it really is the type of show where you can't tell if it's going to stay as strong as its opening episode or if it'll get more boring and tired as the show goes on...

i'm hoping it'll have some kinda plot tho and the whole 'this is just a wacky take on the idol genre!!!1' angle is like... a red herring or w/e. i mean........even if it turns out to be just that i'd still watch so long as the episodes remain as original as fresh. but i do fear it'll become formulaic and predictable very quickly >,<

The genres are a joke right? Action, Horror, Supernatural? This should be Comedy, Music, Supernatural.

It's bad as fuck, but god, the stage performance made me laugh a lot. I may give it another episode to see if it can hold up this level of funny absurdity.

This is.... actually very well done. One of the first times I have seen a true "horror comedy" that is truly self aware and intends to be funny. Not only that, but its well animated and cleanly presented. And how the heck did they get all these A-team voice actors for THIS?!

Fuck anyone who tries to say this is a "deconstruction," "subversion," "edgy," "another horror fail," or "so awful its funny." This isnt any of those things. This is a simple crossover of two genres, and so far theyre doing it well.

I also love how the show is very straightforward in presenting what IT IS, and doesnt bother pretending to be anything more. "How did I turn into a zombie?" -- Who cares, use your imagination. // "Im creating a zombie idol group to save the town." Save the town from what and why? -- Theres no reason for you to know, dont try to find any meaning to this story, just accept the situation. // "What makes these dead people so legendary?" It doesnt fuckin matter, theyre legendary because I said so. // ffs its zombie idol show for the sake of being a zombie idol show.

God damit truck-kun at it again with killing people.

So I really thought this was going to be something else but looks like it's just going to be cute zombie girls doing cute things + idol-ish kind of stuff.

Are all the doujinshis going to be considered necrophilia?

Looks like The angel of death Truck-chan claimed another victim. I don't even know what to say about this show, when i heard it was about Idols I immediately lost almost all interest in watching it, but alas my love for fiends and monster gave in and I decided to watch the first episode, and i can say that i'm glad, coz this is the one the greatest masterpieces i have ever watched, it has it all, cute girls✔, kyouma certified madu scientist ✔, metal✔, zombies✔, did i mention cute girls?✔ amazing animation✔ a cameo from truck-chan✔ also cute girls✔

The fudging intro for this caught me off-guard. This made me laugh more than I should. I'm definitely going to look forward for future episodes.

Chiyo-chan, what are you doing here ? LOL

Finally truck-kun slapped someone into the grave, not into isekai. But yeah, I got that as a joke for every shounen anime with "ittekimasu and run into road" scene without checking surrounding. (Stay safe on the road, guys)

I laughed at headbang scene, OMG why they do that ? XD and of course the center of idol group from the first minute is also joined the zombie team.

Props for it's title, it tricked me into watching what seems to be an idol anime. I should do proper research next time.
Still, I kinda liked this first episode. It feels trashy and dumb, but I'll see where this goes.

I don't know what I expected but definitely not that. Within the first minutes of the episode I already thought of dropping it as it seemed too weird for me and I really don't like idol anime. But then I surprisingly started to enjoy this episode, it was just totally different to what I know and made me laugh a couple of times. I think I'll give it a chance, depending on what they'll make out of it I might really like this show ^.^

I love how it started out all bright and cheery and then, next thing you know, the main girl's getting hit by a car and death metal's blasting in your ears...

Anyway, I'll definitely be watching this. It's pretty funny. I don't enjoy the death metal all that much but it's still worth the watch I guess.

I just watched this because my friend showed me screenshots of the girl getting hit by the truck and says she didn't like it

I was curious why, so I decided why not

Tags were Action, Horror, Supernatural until not too long ago at least. After watching the Japanese trailer, I thought of a horror show with comedy elements. And I like Horror. Expectations were turned upside down completely and looking at the tags it's labeled as Comedy, Music, Supernatural now.
I can dig the comedy so far, the premise is pretty unique and no other big turn-off, so guess I'll stick with it...

Zombieland Saga episode one gave me a headache and a few touches of laughter. The shot composition starting at 1:15 made me chuckle in a stupor. Unlikely that I will watch more though, even with the quality of direction.

I was wondering why the MC's computer looked like it was running on Windows 2008, but then the Manager just drops that she's been dead for ten years... and it all makes sense.
No it doesn't. None of it makes sense.

I want to watch more.

Anyone who thinks this show is bad must not have any sense of humor and must be looking for a story driven non-parody show. This show has KonoSuba Komedy! It's quirky, hilarious, and has a unique spin on an otherwise oversaturated genre. Period

Well I can't say I expected this to be an idol show, but I guess that's what I'm gonna be watching. It was pretty wacky but I like it so far. In particular I really like the girls character designs. I kinda hope they keep up the death metal thing except with actual lyrics and not just random screams. That would be a interesting take on it.

Okay, that first episode was definitely funny. Excellent execution of comedy mostly with the manager. Not sure if it have the staying power needed for the entire season, but it got enough goodwill from me to stick with it for now.

Holy shit my sides, for the hype for how this "wasn't what it looked like" I was expecting something unexpected, but I sure as hell didn't predict that at all, and it was freaking hilarious.

Crazy good start, I laughed a ton with this, the art style is so nice as well!
