A fun anime wherein the twists are unpredictable enough that I can still enjoy it, despite the leads being pretty strong.

There is an attempt at balancing their OP nature by showing their socially awkward tendencies but it's played more for laughs and therefore doesn't completely create that balance. They also try to make games more complex in order to have their battles be longer and less predictable, so the intrigue is less about asking "will they make it?" and more asking "how do they make it?".

There are a lot of ecchi scenes, but I don't think the anime acts above that and that's part of ... the silly enjoyment. If anything, did you not come here for that?!? Some people may be uncomfortable with the sibling relationship in that regard, so if incestuous vibes bother you, this is probably not the show you should be watching {the siblings themselves don't say they have that kind of relationship, even arguing the opposite, but the actions are still there}.

Ultimately, the universe is appealing, if not very complex, if you go into it without any seriousness. If you do that, you can have a solid time!

I came into Zombieland Saga thinking that it would be like the usual idol anime: aspirational, well-meaning girl with a heart of gold pursues her dreams to be an idol while making friends along the way. However, from the beginning, the anime's unique sense of comedy hits you like a truck and continues to deliver throughout the entire ride.

Zombieland Saga simultaneously pays respects to idol tropes and embraces them, but also subverts and has fun with them, something that fans of idol culture can appreciate and laugh along with. Even the performance scenes, while often incorporating comedic elements or playing music that strays from mainstream ... anime idol music, give it the feel of a proper idol anime. While I do think some characters are not as well developed as others {Yuugiri being my least favourite}, overall, most are unique and thus memorable. The ability to balance and transition between, even combine, light-hearted fun and genuine moments speaks to the quality of the writing and production.

Zombieland Saga definitely exceeded my expectations and is something I'd be more than happy to watch again. Looking forward to the next season~!

Pretty average but still readable content

This is something that I found recommended to me for my Amazon kindle and, on the whole, I don't regret reading it. It's pretty easy to get through so if you have some time it's not a bad choice.

The characters interact well together and that makes it a nice light read. You're probably going to pick a favourite but they're most likely not going to be a standout, just someone who already coheres to your preferred archetype.

I enjoyed it well enough. Though personally, I like heavier, complex storylines, it's nice to mix it up with light reading like this now ... and then and it's clear that the intention of the series is to be a light read, so it missing other factors that make a great manga is to be expected. Nevertheless, it delivers on its promises and no one can fault it for being some nice fluff to add to your day~

You know what you're going to get and it delivers.

Even though it's not the most original or has the best twists, it is still an enjoyable read if you like light-hearted manga about baking and romance. The main is likeable enough and the side-characters have different personalities.

One of the downsides for me is that it's not my favourite art style, so that sometimes didn't incentivise me to binge read it. However, it's not so glaringly bad that it became an active distraction and the food still looked great in it so it did its job well overall

It's cute and will satisfy you if you're looking ... for something light and sweet~
