Zombie-Loan

Story Quite a unique storyline, much different than most out there. Although the story could have probably developed even more and a lot better if there were more than 11 episodes. That just cut the story too short, which was kinda disappointing. Art Personally, I don't like this type of art style that was used in Z-Loan too much. Usually I'd prefer artwork more like that of Death Note. However, I think the art fit this particular series well, however it isn't the best art out there. Sound Usually I like loud songs and metal songs, but the opening song was just horrendous. I couldn't stand listening to it. Theending theme was fine though. The background music fit the scenes it was used in well, so they did that good. Nothing else really so say about the music work. It was overall good. Character Very good characters. The tension between Chika and Shito was great for the story, especially because no matter what, they were stuck together because of their hands. All of the characters were pretty interesting themselves. Michiru had a good background story. Koyomi was my probably favorite, with her energetic normal self, and then becoming the lesbian Yomi, her alter-ego. Then there's all the others like Yuuta, with her "talking" hands, Bekkou (or ferryman), who's the leader of Z-loan, even though he appears like somebody you wouldn't really expect to be in charge, Chika's father, who looks like a girl, Chika's sister, who does nothing but text message on her phone, Shimotsuki, who's a younger girl, yet a chairsperson, Shiba, who at first appears to be a good guy, and the Shinigami, who becomes a like a small creature after losing his core. The cast is all very interesting, however, since the series is too short, it didn't allow for too much development, so that's why I give a 8, and not 9. Enjoyment Definitely a great series if you're bored one day and just wanna watch a whole series, packed with parts of action, comedy, and horror. I watched it all in one day, since it's only 11 episodes, and I think it's best viewed like that. Very enjoyable series overall, even if it is very short. Overall Overall, as you can see, I give it a 7. For reasons I've already explained above. I'm pretty sure an OVA will be coming out, so at least maybe we'll get to see a better ending in that.

Zombie-Loan was quite a fun anime even though it was too short for my liking. Eleven episodes is just too short for a series, considering most have at least 12 episodes. Story It's an interesting story, very original if you ask me, and it has it's good and bad parts. It's somewhat predictable from time to time and there aren't many plot-twists that could surprise you. Plus, I really would have liked more action in it, sometimes it just takes too long for the fighting to start even though it would look like an action anime first. Aside from that, it was pretty good. The worstpart is that it ended abruptly in episode 11, just when the REAL action seemed like it would start. Just the producer's way to say "read the manga if you wanna know what happens". Art I really liked the art, it was quite new to my eyes. The characters are each drawn in their own style and it was interesting to see how the male leads were tall and athletic, with almost no muscles on them and so on. Considering their "status" it suits them well. For the fans, it has some chibi scenes and stick-art scenes some fo the time to add to the fun. The art for the combat scenes was good but not the best, I enjoyed it nevertheless. Sound Well, the soundtrack was good, nothing much to say about it, each song was fit for the scene. The only thing that bothered my ears was the opening song. Sure, the off-vocal was totally awesome, I really liked the guitar sounds, but when the singer started "screaming" in I would immediately skip forward. Ending song was fine, though not the best, with a great off-vocal. Character The characters were very well made, though most didn't have such a detailed background. Each had it's own unique personality and you could easily start liking one of them. Too bad some characters didn't have enough screen time (even though I liked them more than the main characters) and some had more than they really needed. Overall I enjoyed this (too) short series. I'd give it a 7.8 as a grand total (but I rounded up to 8). If you're into action, comedy, zombie related things and some drama here and there, watch Zombie Loan. Even though it's not one of the greatest anime out there, it's not a waste of time either.

Story: The basics of the story were actually not to bad. Two boys who are bound to each other, a girl with some special powers who starts to help them. Nothing I wouldn't like there. The story is short, but though I like short, this one was just too short. There is a big open ending, and when you are finished you have the feeling you still don't know anything. Art: The series are drawn pretty good. I thought the boys where a bit to skinny, but overall the drawings never annoyed me. Sound: The opening and ending theme never appealed me, but I guess that especially the openingtheme fitted the story. What I really hated was the voice of Michiru (Japanese). In all the animes I watched I never had a voice I really didn't like, so it was quite a surprise for me it was possible. Character: You only get to know a little of the characters. I guess the story was to short to take a deeper look in there pasts. Michiru was a very annoying character. Perhaps if you like extremely dumb girls, who scream a lot, cry a lot about nothing, get used by others, and have no guts at all, this series is something you should definitely see. Enjoyment: I was glad the serie was short, because otherwise I wouldn´t have watched the whole thing. The episodes I liked a bit better where the lasts ones with the grim reaper. He was kind of cute :P. Overall: I rarely give a bad mark to a animé series, but this is an exception. If they had changed the character and voice of Michiru and developed the story better this series could have easily had a 7. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and it's really a shame.

First,this anime is way better than I thought.It's very funny and bloody (good combination) but it's too short 11 episodes.So it's seems that the manga is needed to read. Story It has a good story.Zombies having they're organization for chasing an killing other bad zombies.A spooky story with zombies,death gods,reapers other related things.For this too short it had a nice plot but it changed a lot it rather seemed like the episode were all mini stories.But it's tooo funny really it had some awesome moments on which I laughed a lot.It didn't failed action beside the last episode where the producers clearly wanted to stop the anime.Justwhen I thought the action was going to start they bet the ''final boss'' in a simple and not long way.8/10 Animation Really awesome everything was well animated.Especially the character I liked they're style the male character are drown a bit in a shoujo anime style.So it's a unique style and it also didn't lacked in the fighting scenes.The funny scenes are also good made with some simple drawings but it was original.9/10 Sound It was good,nice rock songs with a lot of instrumental which I liked.The ending song is one of my favorites really nice and it suits it well.The opening was a good instrumental with some nice guitar playing but the vocals weren't too good a screaming voice.I'm just sick of them I'm remembering Maximum the Hormone.It was like a bad copy.The ost is awesome you should check it out.So in the end the songs were good.All rock/metal songs during fights.9/10 Character This surely the best aspect of the anime.Every one is unique and they have good personalities.You will one of them probably.They had were good personalities and had a lot of funny scenes with them.There were some minor characters that I liked but they hadn't have any screen time.Anyway they were all funny a well drawn.It would be better if some had more screen time but I hope that they have better roles in the manga.9/10 Enjoyment It enjoyed this toooo short anime.It had some awesome moments.There were some too boring episodes but also some really awesome (like the hot spring ep.).So all in all it's a awesome anime but too short.Everyone should watch it but possible read the manga.8/10
