 Animation production and publishing company Kadokawa opened an official website for the previously announced anime adaptation of Ryou Ikehata and Hagane Tsurugi's Aru Zombie Shoujo no Sainan (Calamity of a Zombie Girl) light novel series on Friday. The website also revealed that the anime will be distributed digitally beginning July 4.Synopsis For their first summer vacation night quest, a group of five male and female students of Kikuka University's Occult Research Club snuck out at midnight to search for the hidden money of Tokugawa. The so-called treasure was purportedly located at the school's database room. No hidden money was found, but rather, two well preserved female mummies. Sayaka Kamoshida, who forced her friends to get into the database room, secretly stole a mysterious jewel called "life stone" that was inside the mummy. With no treasure found, the students left the room. However, the mummies returned to life after the jewel was stolen. Euphrosyne Studion, previously the daughter of a Baron who became immortal by magic and later a mummy due to an unexpected incident, and Alma V, a homunculus-turned-mummy that was made as her maid, attack the Occult Research Club members in order to get the life stone back. Will the members live? Why are they desperate to get the life stone back? A bloody disaster hits the student dorm at midnight. Staff Director: Hideaki Iwami (Top wo Nerae!

| So a classical mummy story pretty much? Hmm probably won't watch, doesn't look that interesting. |

| lovely cast (Saori Hayami <3 , Yui Ogura <3) but it don't look interesting honestly |
 |
| The synopsis sounds like a problem. Like a "Ousama Game The Animation" problem. |
 |
| Nevermind, lets try it anyway. |
 |
| Well, I do not quite understand the background of this show, but Saori Hayami as a protagonist has already bribed me, lol. |
 |
| Zombie..? Ok, I pass this one. Though i kind of interested since the title is "zombie" while the story is about "mummy" lol XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Ah yes, because obviously, the one thing the entertainment industry so far was severely lacking in was Zombies. Anyhow, yeah, this... doesn't sound promising. I might give it a shot when it comes out, but I'd be quite surprised if this ended up being a decent anime, lol. |
| I'll pass. How long has it been since this was even announced getting an anime? too long. The preview alone doesn't seem to make me give it a try. |
 |
| The revival of Gonzo lol |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| About damn time, I wonder how many investors bailed before they got one that stuck with it. |
 |
| "eyes" gonzo huh well then |
 |

| It's been ages since this got any news and suddenly it came back? Not a fan of Gonzo even if their recent titles are more of a hit-or-miss than total miss but judging from the PV it doesn't really look all that well managed. I'll pass all things considered. |

I think I still remember the original annoucement PV on youtube... Well, Gonzo is sh*t studio, premisse is nonsense, but Sawashiro and Hayami voices are there, and I need guilty pleasure once in a while, last scene of this PV lean towards a dark comedy, will try. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Going back to state of death by reclaiming the life stone back sounds like a recipe for a depressing anime. |
