I don't know if this is supposed to be a sequel to "is this a zombie" or just a collection of OVAs.
Unlike season one this one is completely pointless, there is no plot and each episode just invents a weird mis-understanding that leads to some fan service and our hero getting beaten to a pulp. That's really it.
Speaking of, they really went over-board with the fan service in this one. I should have guessed when they opened with a swimsuit episode.
Because this was still a fun watch I'm giving it a decent score, it is recommended for anyone that's watched season one and like it but not for anyone else.

Not much is different from the previous season so this review will be short and if you want to know more you should read my review on the original. Most things in there hold true here as well. That being said I do rate this higher than the original, but what is it about it that makes me bump it up a notch on the scale? Well...
- Story & Theme
Okay, so the backstory is obviously still the same; the male protagonist is still a zombie magical girl/crossdresser and there are still three girls living with him. This time around the main story feels a bit tighter and has a better flow through the episodes. It grows on you through the series in a way the first seasons story didn't. The one drawback is that it isn't really concluded and with this being 12 years old I doubt we'll see a continuation…

Great for a few laughs, but terrible if you wanted to know more about the main story, that's this season in a nutshell.
In the first season they'd cut a lot of stuff out, but at least there was a halfway decent plot to follow with a good balance of comedy. However, this sequel wanted to lean so hard into the comedy that everything else suffered; the main story took a back seat, almost every episode has its own self-contained plot with little connection to the following ones, there's little to no character development, and filler episodes loaded with fanservice (some original, but mostly side stories from later volumes thrown in for the sake of it).
Anyway, the series doesn't fail to make you laugh, but it could have been so much more, and honestly I'm glad a third season didn't come out,…

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead (2012)
This begins immediately after the first season and its OVA which is great to see no time-skipping. We have pretty much the same cast but with the addition of a few new faces with the main one being Chris as the antagonist of sorts. We also get a tiny viewing of the Queen of Villers Lilia Lilith and also Naegleria Nebiros who is hilarious in her setting despite who she is.
As for the story itself, it does continue along the path and is hilarious to see as it goes on. You get plenty of scenarios and different events happening keeping it all very light-hearted. The only complaint is that the story is sort of unfinished with this season and could have benefited from more episodes but then I haven't yet watched the OVA or the 11th episode which is s…

COMPLETELY BIAS REVIEW:
(This review is not just for the second season but the whole 2 seasons)
This anime was the very first anime that I watched as "anime". I have seen like Pokémon, Naruto, Dragon Ball, but I viewed them as just cartoons instead of "anime".
This show completely changed my view when it comes to anime, from hype action to this Slice of Life comedy. God I really love this show from the characters, the interactions between the characters, and story. Just a guy trying to chill, but is developing a harem that won't let him chill. And it's not just because they bother him but rather because he starts to care for them and want them to just chill with him but crazy things happen that involve them. He wants them happy, to enjoy this life of just living day by day with friends…

The 2nd season that much more enjoyable than the first season. In this Season Ayumu character is improved so much from the 1st season. With more of his abilities emerged the budding relationship with the girls developing into more hilarious experience to watch.
Eu's story is developed with more of her background stories, characteristics, Underworld creatures and a bit of her past is revealed here. The story digs more to the connection between the characters, their abilites, homeland and the histories that connect the relationship around them.
The Fan services and easter eggs feels truly refreshing. I find it very enjoyable to find this hidden gem I skipped many years ago. Ayumu continues his fight for protecting his lifestyle and the girls who keeps abusing him.
the downside is Sera fans…

"And the world shudders as two perverts put their heads together"
-- Misc Brown Haired Girl Ep 04
Sure seems that after the first season the perverts on the team put their heads together and came up with comedy. Between improving the deliver, taking out the vitriol in the jokes , adding in some really funny characters, and making much better use of supporting characters, the series has improved to the point where it's making me smile. Still no belly laughs or much more than a chuckle but that sure beats first season.

When I reviewed the first season of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? I complained about the lack of story and randomness of it all – this season has even less of an actual plot, but somehow ends up being better for it. It gets more creative with its humour, relying a bit less on recurring gags or nonsensical "worldbuilding", but simply having fun with its characters and even giving them some minor development, which was nearly absent earlier on. It's kind of toned-down in comparison to the first season, but that makes it less cringy and messy, and by result more relaxing to watch.
I'm not sure if it'd be the same for everyone, but for me it felt like an all-around improvement over S1 – even the OP and ED music was slightly more catchy. It feels somewhat cut short, signalizing a major plot developm…

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead pretty much picks up right where the last one left off. It also continues to hold a lot of the charms of the first installment and plays on them very well throughout.
There is still plenty of comedy involved around the leading male which didn't feel to overbearing. The same could be said about the Ecchi aspect, however it felt like there was more of the latter in comparison to the first season. I did think that the minimization of the "action" genre worked to the seasons benefit. I do believe the first season had just a little to much and it distracted a little from the "Slice of Life"
Some surprises happen throughout which for me didn't really impact positively or negatively. As I'm writing this I feel like this is gonna be very plain and uninterestin…

Following the first season. Tears of laughter from the first episode. This season follows a similar style to the story but adds a new villain and the return of some old ones! If you enjoyed the first season, you'll probably enjoy this one. My only gripe is can we get this man a new costume!? Maybe leggings over a skirt ;)
I do think this season could have been longer and perhaps could have fulfilled its only storylines a little bit better. I'm left with questions I wish they would have carried into a further season or just a longer season to answer.

Well after watching the first season i expected more from kore wa zombie to be honest but this season really was not that good to me. I'm not saying this anime is waste of time or anything at all you can still enjoy this show (the comic timing is still good) but if you are waiting for some cool fights, emotional moments, or some more character development in this anime then i think you guys will too get disappointed from this new season.
As far as story goes its nothing new in this the pink hair girl is still kinda unknown like they left off in the season 1 nothing much has been explained about her except she will seen drinking a lot and umm.... i don't have any complaints cause there was nothing new in this season so from my pov i think the story was fine! i will give story a six.

When watching Is this a Zombie? Of The Dead, i was hoping that I would enjoy it as much as the first season. And I wasn't disappointed for the most part. There were quite a few things that erked me about this season that I couldn't look pass, as I did with the 1st season. But, as this review goes on I'll explain more.
Story: 6
After Ayumu and the crew defeat that other Zombie, their life is peaceful for the most part until new and old enemies make their appearances. I found the enemies to be pretty underwhelming and barely filled their roles as enemies as well. Conflict-wise I feel as if the show didn't have a strong enough conflict and resolve either. All problems just float away without being really resolved. This was only really noticeable because of other features I feel that the show…

We all have our share of light shows to take a break from the deeper recesses of the anime world. There are times when memorable characters, fountains of gore, bizarre interpretations, thought-provoking themes, and eyegasmic animation leave a certain impact that burn our watching mojos out. So when I was warned by my friend about a cancer-inducing show involving a crossdressing zombie, I just told myself, “Why the hell not?”
What I got was a hysterical regurgitation of cliches, genre executions, and typical anime scenarios seamlessly smashed into one show, with an amazing dub if I may add. I can guarantee ‘Is This a Zombie?’ and its redundant companion, ‘Is This a Zombie? of the Dead’, are a buttload of gut-busting fun, if you pardon the lack of anything substantial.

You know, the phrase "anime is weird" has been a frequent idea for many people, anime watchers, and non-anime watchers. While there are many anime that make this idea false by showing that anime is an entertainment medium that can provide both a proper story and proper character development, there are others, that bolster the idea rather well. For example, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead. The second season of the series.
Story (6.31/10): The story of the Kore wa Zombie is well...complicated. After being revived after his unfortunate demise, Aikawa Ayumu becomes a zombie thanks to Eucliwood Hellscythe, a silent necromancer from the underworld, he becomes very active in finding out who is the one that ended his life. For the first season, that becomes the series's "main" plot. For the…

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead is very similar to the first season. What made first season very enjoyable to watch was how ridiculously funny/random the story itself is, and I'm glad that the second season brings more of the same. The major downside is that unlike the first season where characters are somewhat developed and there was at least a plot, there is almost none of those in the second season. The main cause was the pacing. The plot probably could have been finished within the second season, yet they chose to drag it out and leave it unfinished, which made a somewhat poor ending as well. Furthermore, the main characters did not develop at all, and their relationship stayed nearly the same after the end of the first season. It seems like the second season chose fan service over…

KoreZom is back, and it could actually get even better than its previous season. Obviously that I'm talking in plot terms, since its essence remained just the same: make you lose your breath from laughing!
{STORY - 7/10}
Ayumu returns as a zombie and masou-shoujo, but, if meeting a lot of weird people got him into tons of trouble, dealing with an unexpected event, that suddenly turns his school life upside down, will be a true challenge.
An unknown drunken being joins our main character on this new journey to assist Ayumu onto understanding the reason of living and seeing the bright side upon being accused of sick crossdressing and becoming an world known fever.
This newly developed plot surpasses the first one, as it gets better and better on every new episode. A little bit from its c…

Well, much like the first season of the show this is a joke (once again, no insult was intended, rather everything is turned into a joke in this show).
Im all for comedy and this brings it too the table, but theres a couple problems I noticed this time around that werent present in season one. First of all, this time the jokes arent coming at you in arapid-fire manner where you are bound to laugh, simply because of a quanity over quality thing. Second, some of the material is ripped off of the first season so its not gonna be that funny this time. Also some components of the story are basically a mirror to the first season, and it kinda starts the same.
The characters are the same, and that is kinda a problem because you have to step up and elevate the story otherwise people are bound to…

The second season of Zombie was less than that of the first. It was interesting and still funny.
The story itself seemed to...lack a plot. It gets a 6. It looked like it could have some potential but then suddenly switched up around the end. It re-introduces the characters and their relation to the Hero (and in some cases the Heroins) and introduces some new characters, some....honestly don't need to be there. They still fight monsters to a point but it kinda focuses on their lives. It was rushed to get some stuff finished but left other things unexplained.
The art and sound were basically like the first season with the exception of the opening and ending songs and get 6's. They were really good. Up-beat, and the art for them fit. The ending is adorable and cute, with entertaining side com…

I'm going to come right out and say it, if you want a good plot, I'd look elsewhere, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead is a continuation from where the first series Kore wa Zombie Desu ka left off. However the overaching plot of the origonal was wrapped up in that series and sadly very little was added to repalce it.
That is not to say Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead is completely without plot, it is there and towards the end we even see some hints of something being put into motion however nothing is resolved in any satisying manner and really the plot feels, to me, hollow and token.
Plot aside, however, there is a lot about this show to praise; personally I did not really enjoy to OP or ED but that's quite subjective but other than that I don't feel the sound failed in any major…
