"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.
"There's something different about you lately"
---Kanami Mihara
Characters are where the second season gained the most. Adding in Chris as the drunken magical girl, Gave them a character that was just pure comedy gold. The only thing they did wrong with her is there just wa…

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…

"Death Is A Natural Part Of Life" a wise and creepy looking creation of George Lucas once said. However there's nothing natural about this series. Kore Wa Zombie Desuka Of The Dead, one of my most anticipated animes of 2012, did it hold up to the anticipation though? Well, here are my opinions on it:
Let's start with the story, there isn't much of it. I'm sorry but more than half of the anime consist of episodes that go on with little to no plot at all. Most of it really is just Ayumu going through the hell that life seems to love dropping on him. Constant humiliation in public and and extreme abuse from his....."friends"...if it's safe to call them that. The comedy is similar to what we had in the first season, in ways I think it improved since it has it more than just sex jokes or Ayumu…

Butt-love and Sequels! It's been repeatedly stated in cliche manners that sequels will never be as good as the original. In anime, that case has been proven wrong in many cases. But I'm sad to say though, that Kore wa zombie desu ka? Of the Dead! is not one of of those cases.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Of the Dead! starts off on where we exactly left. They even have an OVA where they're still at the pool, the place where the first season ended. It was pretty good at first. They even decided to introduce new characters, but after the first 4 or 5 episodes, the whole thing started to go down.
Let's talk plot shall we? One of the things I really don't like is a half-baked plot with poor story and character development. Maybe they were out of budget or something, but honestly, the plot-line and…

"Till death do us apart"
Oh really? There are a lot of series these days about zombies, the walking dead, and ghosts. Just looking at this Spring Season, we have Sankarea and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Then, there's Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead. Death certainly doesn't do them apart. In fact, those characters are among the world of the living and they breath the same air we do.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead also known as "Is This a Zombie? Of the Dead" is the sequel of the original series adapted from the manga. For those who have watched season 1, there was an actual storyline involving zombies, vampire ninjas, and necromancer. But in this sequel, where's the story? Of course, that's a problem especially in comedies like this these days. Whether you're an avid anime elitist or…

Ok, so now the 2nd season has ended, how does this anime fare up? Well, it doesn't, I'd probabaly say that this is one anime that was once rated as good (in the 1st season) gone poor (this 2nd season), then agin the story still deserves a "Mediocre" number 5, since the plot and setting is sitll there and still the same, and it is only limited to that since the expected climax is not what was being hope for, as for the genre, there is that mystery element that pertains to Chris and the relationship about the underworlds and the mashou shojos that has contribute a lot to the plot of this anime.
Art: Mediocre 5
I won't say why, since it is pretty obvious.
Sound: Mediocre 5.
Ok so I really hate both opening and closing themes, but such rating in this part still deserves to get a 5 since th…

This was nothing compared to season 1: Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka
They mashed so much otaku related fan service like maid cafes and water melon smashing at beaches that the story was completely pushed out.
If you watched the first season you will know it also contained this type of stuff but the core story was good. However season 2's core story could have fit into 2 episodes.
Doubt this will get a season 3 seeing as how bad this season was it's a real shame the first season was one of the best animes I've ever watched.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Of the Dead!
The 2nd season of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka, starts off where they left off from the previous season. Introducing a new character, the mysterious pink, curly-haired Kris. And still following the misunderstood life of Aikawa Ayumu.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead, or Is this a Zombie? of the Dead, starts with no plot whatsoever. Rather it just does some character build up for each character. So the supporting cast from last season, are now sharing the spotlight with the main crew. In just ten episodes, Studio Deen fails to deliver a "full season," so it leaves you wanting a 3rd season. But it does have its redeeming qualities too. It has it's nice comedy that always has you laughing, and the moe. Oh my gosh, THE MOE is just too epic to describe.
