I watched this series back in high school (like 10 years ago) cause a clingy friend asked me to and as I'm filling MAL from 0 to Z I had to add it, of course... Man, I think this is actually the first time I put 1 to an anime and I can't believe myself cause I really don't like to put a 1 in something I invested time...
I'm gonna put a 3/10 to art cause there's definitively worst art than this and sound could be a 2 or a 10 but idk and don't care either.
I'm not gonna talk about this anime cause I seriously can't remember anything about it other than being so so so soooo appalling bad, so you can skip my review and read another one with technical details on it. I will base my review on another aspect which I consider it's the most important while making a production of any sort: resista…

It had what I expected for a series that was around since like early 2000's.
I was kind of expecting a buttload of fanservice and an arrogant protagonist (two things I don't like in anything I watch) but in the case of this series. I didn't have too much of that.
Shito seems to throw off that air of arrogance but since he gets an equal amount of punishment in the series, it seems balanced.
The story was a tad confusing but the arcs are pretty easy to figure out, from what I can understand it's about two dead guys that have to kill zombies in order to come alive again using the main character girl as help for it. Seems pretty straightforward to me and that's what I enjoy.
Once I ignored the fanservice and the occasional mood switch of Shito (a prime offender because he pingpongs between…

Maybe some spoilers.
This anime is about a young girl who can see a black line around a persons neck the darker it is the sooner they are going to die. Story: 7, I gave this story line a 7, it's a really cool concept, however the zombies aren't really the whole infectious- destroy their brains to kill them. They're just people who died and are still living. I think what would have made this story better is if here was more episodes, the lack of episodes did make this anime have less of a plot to grow.
Art: 7, there is nothing particularly special about the art, the characters are quite lanky though.
Sound: 4, I watched this a few months ago and the music hasn't really stuck with me; not very memorable.
Character: 6, There was bit of a backstory to some of the characters but there was no…

Keep in mind, this review covers the main series and two episode special.
Welcome, My Friends, to the final review of horror anime month. Zombie Loan was a manga written by the duo, Peach-Pit, also responsible for Shugo Chara, Rozen Maiden, DearS and some other stuff I have never seen nor read. It was published by Square Enix. The anime version was handled by Xebec in 2007 with eleven episodes airing two more being released only on the DVD. Let's delve into the series and see what awaits us.
Story:
Kita Michiru can see something that no one else can when she takes off her glasses, a dark ring around the neck of a person who's fated to die shortly. One day, she spots a pure black ring around the necks of two classmates, Chika and Shito, who had shortly before survived a bridge accident…

Good for rainy days I guess. Every one I knew was telling me that this was a pretty good anime, so I sat down and made myself watch all 11 episodes.
First off I almost quit halfway into the first episode because I personally HATED the art style. And still do to this day. And I'm normally not super picky about these things (I can usually get into a style like 2 episodes in), so me not liking an art style ALL the way through the anime is pretty weird. But you know-the quality of the art wasn't bad, it was just the style so I managed to get myself through this.
The story line seemed a bit cliché at first, but it gets better. The only thing I didn't really like was how short each arc was, but hey, it's 11 episodes. What do you expect.
Overall, other than a couple of things here and there,…

Well, having just finished this series, I can actually say that I found this to be a really enjoyable short series (IMO too short but I will mention this as I go through the review)
Story: Well my whole reason for starting the show was because I thought the plot was so unique and instantly grabbed me from the few lines, the idea of somebody being able to know when someone is about to die was an instant appeal, throw in some already dead zombies and I was set. Unfortunately as i stated, the show was only 11 episodes long, and for me that was just waaay too short, and as a result left quite a few questions to be answered at the end. An example being that it is never explained why the two male characters have to switch hands in order to summon their weapons, it says WHAT will happen if they…

The concept of the story is what drawn me to this particular anime. It seemed so unique! If only they could have actually put in some more effort in to making it live up to it's full potential, this anime could have been really amazing.
This anime leaves a lot to be desired, it sorta follows the vague description to the dot, I found myself lacking any kind of emotion while watching this. It made me smile and let out a small chuckle hear and there but nothing at all like I expected. It just makes you wish they would've done 'this' or 'that' to improve....
Though the concept was interesting, they failed to actually deliver it which I found fairly disappointing
As for art, I couldn't say it was bad, It was pretty decent actually. I didn't have much issues looking at it, nothing was particu…

What drew me to this anime was the fact that it was a zombie anime, I mean you dont see an anime with zombies too often usualy its just demons and vampires.the zombies are not the typical zombies you see in movies, they are quite intelligent and capable and arn't rotting corpses which puts some originality to this anime.
Well, lets start with the characters Kita Michiru is a girl who has the gift of shinigami eyes, but starts to hate it when she sees black rings on her parents, when they die she starts using glasses to negate the effect of the shinigami eyes. she has no goals or any aspirations and does not even care if she dies.Kita usualy has a hard time speaking her mind and always does what people tell her to do no question(no backbone whatsover!).Chika and Shito are the zombies who w…

It's a bit of a shame that Zombie-Loan had to end as abruptly as it did considering I did find it quite entertaining to look into. The premise itself was quite original where Chika and Shito are being loaned life as zombies in exchange for hunting evil "illegal" zombies. The show effectively mixes serious and comedic moments as it looks into the various dealings that Shito, Chika and the other members of Zombie Loan deal with, particularly the chemistry between Shito and Chika as they don't exactly get along much of the time in the series. The show does do well enough in fleshing out the backgrounds of the two boys and Michiru and what led them to become clients to Zombie Loan thus it is easy to get some sort of connection with their characters. It also does well enough at covering the exa…

Everything that you've borrowed must be paid back properly; that includes human life. If you loaned your life to extend it, then you have to pay for it, no matter how long it takes. And that's what Zombie-Loan is about.
Story: (8/10)
Not a lot of people see it, but this anime has a thick plot and has a lot of substantial themes. It's really interesting. It tackles upon complex issues such as the value of human life, the nature of life and death, the circle of life and even the value of friendship. Those aside, the story development wasn't so bad either. It's downfall lies on the fast paced episodes and the shortness of the series itself. Viewers were not able to enjoy this series long enough. Though I have to say, the cliff hanger ending was good. Makes viewers thirsting for some more. I…

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 opening theme 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:…

Zombie-Loan.. EEH?
It is a really great Anime.
StoryThe story is good, and it kind of keeps you laughing and smiling, and it makes you wanna watch a few more episodes..Character[b/] I like the way the use Shito as the "prince" type in school, but when he is out he actually gets annoyed pretty fast. And Chito, who is the lively little "kid". And when you put those together, it is just funny all the way.Enjoyment, I enjoy this anime. It is really funny and has kind of a serious plot.
OVERALL is this a great anime, and I recommend this to every one who likes a little fun in the everyday life! :P

Zombie Loan was a very short anime, but partly I think that's a good thing. If it had continued for an extra 50 episodes it probably would have become a series full of fillers and other rubbish things still managing to cut a lot of things from the manga. But as the manga is still ongoing I think hope for a second series is good, but it will probably be short too (a lot like Vampire Knight and Vampire Knight Guilty).
Overall it is a good anime and you should watch it if you have a day spare.

Anyone out there like horror, comedy and action? If so, I believe you'll enjoy this series.
Story:
Zombie-Loan's story... well, to be honest, I haven't seen any animes that really focus on zombies, so this was definitely a first for me, so if anyone says this is a rip-off, don't believe them. The story centers mainly around 3 people, Michiru, who has Shinigami eyes, and can see if someone will do soon by seeing a black ring around their neck; and then Chika and Shito. I won't go into detail about their story, because it could spoil everyone, but let's just say that they hunt for zombies for a living... in the meantime. The goal is to hunt down zombies, or those that should have passed on but did not, and destroy them and give them a proper funeral. But that;s just the beginning. The story…

Zombie Loan is the first zombie anime I've seen and I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I highly doubt it is though. I overall liked this anime but it did lack some good qualities.
For starters, Zombie Loan is only 11 episodes long so the storyline lacks depth and moves way too fast. The concept is a good but really you need more episodes in order for it to work.
The animation was good. I'm a sucker for hot anime guys and this anime gave me 2 more. XD I also like that they brought a little humor to the anime with the characters when they were irritated or happy and their heads and eyes would get big and they'd start waving their arms around. I do think that the colors could have been brighter and the zombies could have been more rotted and gross looking.

I have noticed that I haven't written any reviews on bad anime lately so I'm definitely going to try.
Zombie Loan is quite a lame excuse for a zombie anime that contains more plot holes and inconsistencies than a George Romero movie (look him up)
Story (Poor)
The story is quite laughable in every sense of the word. It is a mix of fan service, action, and comedy. Of course there are ways to execute a combo like this well, but it doesn't pull it off at all. They do well to suck you into the show with the first few episodes, but further down the road, you will notice it gets more and more ridiculous to even an open-minded person such as me to accept. The enemies are also pretty unimpressive. When I expect brutal zombie fights, the least I would expect would be puppies, nuns, and otakus.…

Hmm... Overall, I thought this was a pretty good anime. It had a well developed storyline, but I was hoping that it'd be longer, because of its outstanding and creative characters. It's kind of like the other animes, where theres a kiddsh guy and a cold guy and a girl in the middle, but it's a little different, too. I mean each character has their own kind of way to react in a different situation. Like, all the characters in this anime are different from each other, yet the are similar, too. I just like it, because it's a lot of personalities and action all mixed together into a great anime!

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. The ending 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.…

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.Just when I thought the action was going to start they bet the ''final boss'' in a simple and not long way.8/10

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 worst part 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
