Season one sure had
a pretty good start but not entirely consistent. Though the biggest let down
for last season was actually the conclusion episode as well as the final
episode which became a total fan service episode.
With how the first
season went and given the comedic-ecchi 1st episode of the OVA, I undoubtedly
added this second season to my watch list. Am I interested in ecchi-genre
anime? No. I just generally like this anime and Aikawa Ayumu's (Majima Junji) harem.
Going over to my
impression of this series, Kore wa Zombie Desu
ka? OTD opened in a less interesting manner as last season but they're
technically equal in terms of comedy. As an introductory episode for the second
season, it didn't bother to go on some quick re-introduction of Aikawa's harem.
All they said was that Aikawa's a zombie AND a mahou shoujo (LOL), Haruna (Nomizu Iori) is a mahou shoujo - I can't remember if they mentioned anything about her loosing
her ability (or whatsoever), Seraphim (Hikasa Youko) is a
vampire-ninja, Tomonori (Kanemoto
Hisako) is Aikawa's fiancée (or whatever), Sarasvati really likes Aikawa
(though she was just shown) while Eucliwood (Tsukimiya Midori)
is a necromancer. As of now, I still have no idea as to where this season will
focus given that it's going to be 10 episodes long. Sure do hope they'll go
deeper on the Eucliwood-arc if there's still anything to it.
Going to what I
generally like in this episode, I certainly enjoyed the comedy which as I have
mentioned technically equal to last season's. I seriously laugh when a magazine
or school news paper of some sort have Aikawa's picture in his Mahou Shoujo costume.
Moreover, when he ran to that new pinked-haired "fairy" character and
unfortunately faced a megalo and finally had to transform to a Mahou Shoujo, I
find myself laughing nonstop at how Aikawa's rep got seriously damaged.
Character-wise, a
new character is already introduced right in the first half of this episode,
it's that pinked-haired "fairy" Aikawa was talking about. She looks
pretty funny and it's going to be a wild ride with her as part of Aikawa's
harem. I'm pretty sure that she'll play a huge role in this season. As for the
rest, given the OP that was shown, it looks like a load more new characters
will be shown (or were they the same people as last season and I just seriously
forgot them?).
BGM was pretty good.
The one that totally got stuck to me was the BGM when Aikawa went to the clinic
before he goes home and meets the pink-haired "fairy". HAH! As for
the art and animation, nothing really changed as far as I can remember though
the battle between Aikawa and that megalo was pretty good and his 1000% Mahou
Shoujo transformation (or whatever) was pretty good (and funny).
Overall, I'm looking
forward to a better season of Kore wa Zombie
Desu ka?. With 10-episodes this season, I hope that nothing will be
rushed (though I doubt that it'll happen). Also other than ZETMAN, I'm also placing Kore
wa Zombie Desu ka? OF THE DEAD into consideration as part of my wide
anime coverage this season. I know both of them had some pretty low votes on my
poll but that isn't entirely my basis on choosing what I'll blog anyway.
